Small Scale Research-Education The Increasing Assessment

For sub-question (i), the recommended approach is qualitative, specifically, ethnography and in-depth interviews of ICT users in the educational institutions selected. Ethnography will include observation of the users as they utilize ICT in researching or studying for a subject or a specific field of study as part of a curriculum or course requirement. in-depth interviews, meanwhile, will be conducted during and/or after the observation stage as further verification and validation of the Researcher's assumptions and observations during the ethnography stage.

In addition to interviewing and observing ICT users, it is recommended that the Researcher will conduct a small scale survey of all ICT users intercepted in the educational institutions throughout the data collection period. This small scale survey will help create a general profile of ICT users in the educational institution, which will help the Researcher provide a general picture of the "ICT user" in the context of education and/or e-Learning.

These promotional materials will serve as the Researcher's indicator in identifying whether the educational institution is a strong or weak supporter or advocate of ICT usage as an alternative mode or tool for learning. This sub-question is included in this study because the Researcher believes that determining an educational institution's priority programs with regards to ICT usage in learning/education has a role in influencing the quality of education provided in said organization/institution.
Lastly, cause-and-effect relationship between ICT usage and quality level of education in the institutions/organizations selected for the study will be answered through a meta-analysis of extant literature/studies on the said topic (i.e., effect of ICT usage and quality level of education. Given that the proposed study is a small scale research project, a meta-analysis or discourse analysis of written text (studies and literature) is the most appropriate methodology. This approach will provide an indicative, rather than causative, result and determination of the relationship between the variables, ICT usage and quality level of education.
