Data Analysis
Data analysis is a process that involves editing, coding, classifying and tabulating the collected data. In this study the researcher used both qualitative and quantitative data analysis techniques. Qualitative data, particularly responses from interviews, and questionnaire were analyzed following the phenomenographic approach. This approach essentially involves a thorough and repeated reading of all the written responses of each respondent, underlining the main ideas and then extracting the core meaning.
The data collected was coded, entered in the computer and cleaned. The data was then processed, analyzed and presented using frequency tables and pie charts. Microsoft Excel was used to draw graphs, tables, cross-tabulation and charts. The qualitative information was then analyzed and interpreted.
