Research Design

The study is descriptive in nature. It produces

information about the present situation on what is or has

been happening in nature. It involves collection of data in

order to test hypothesis or to answer question concerning

the current status of the subject of the study. The purpose

of using the descriptive research method is to acquire

accurate, factual, systematic data that can provide you

with an actual picture of the data set that you are

reviewing. As it is said it has a low requirement for internal

validity (Stangor 2011).
