The study made use of a qualitative design, that is,
the survey due to its relevance in situations where
information of this nature was needed. According to
McMillan and Schumacher (1993) as a qualitative
design, the survey was good as a plan for selecting
subjects, research sites and data collection procedures
to answer the research questions. It also
accommodates both qualitative and quantitative data
in addition to describing conditions, situations and
events of the present. Because of this position a
relatively large number of respondents are
accommodated resulting in cost effectiveness.
Respondents also have the added advantage and
flexibility of reflecting on their responses on the
questionnaire.
