INTRODUCTION
• Defenition

Internet – based research and computer usange is survey that

conducted internet based research while it related to questionaries,
experiments and interviews, and using the internet.
The Charateristic
• Email to plus attachments of the questionnaire
• Web – based survey have to potential to reach
the greater number of participant
 Sampling in internet-based
Sampling bias is a major concern for internet based surveys.
Hewston surveys that
suggest ‘internet
mediated research is immediately subject to
serious problems concerning sampling
representativeness and validity of data.
A major problem in sampling for internet surveys is
estimating the size and nature of the population from which the
sample is drawn : a key feature of sampling strategy.
 There are further concerns about the sampling on Internet-
based surveys. Internet-based surveys are based largely on
volunteer samples obtained through general posting on the web,or
more popular in the social sciences,through announcements to
specific news group and interest on the web. E.g. Contacting user
groups (E.g. Through the SchoolNet).
The issue here is that the researcher is using non-
probability,volunteer sampling,and this may decrease the
generalizability of the findings.
 The issue of volunteer samples
runs deeper,for volunteers may differ
from non-volunters in terms of
personality.
One method to try to overcome the
problem of volunteer bias is to strive
for extremely large samples,or to
record the number of hits on a web
site,though these are crude indices.
 Three types of Internet
Sample,namely:
O An unrestricted sample : anyone can complete the questionnaire,
but it may have limited representativeness.
O A screened sample : quotas are placed on the subsample categories
and types (e.g. Gender,income,job responsibility,etc)
O A recruited sample : respondents complete a preliminary
classification questionnaire and then,based on the data provided in
them,are recruited or not.
There are several criteria for evaluating web
sites,namely;
O The purpose of the site, as this will enable users to establish its
relevance and appropriateness
O Authority and authenticity of the material,which should both be
authoritative and declare its sources.
O Content of the material- its up to dateness.relevance and coverage
O Credibility and legitimacy of the material
O Correctness,accuracy,completeness and fairness of the material.
O Objectivity and rigour of the material being presented and/or
discussed.
 There are several questions
that asked by researchers and
O Is the author identified ?
teachers
O Does the author establish her/his expertise in the area,and
institutional affilation ?
O Is the organization reputable ?
O Is the material referenced; does the author indicate how the
material was gathered ?
O What is the role that this web site is designed to play ?
O Is the material up to date ?
O Is the material free from biases,personal opinions and offence ?
O How do we know that the author is authoritative on this web
site ?
MATERIAL TO BE RESEARCH
The storage and get back the research data on the internet
play on important role not only in keeping researcher abreast
of development across the world but also providing access to
data which can inform the literature searches to estalish
construct and content validity in their onw research.
The use internet for educational research will require an abilty
to evaluated the web – sited. In evaluating eduacational
research material on the web
1. Is the author indentify ?
2. Does the author establish her / his expertise in the area,
and institutional affiliation ?
3. Is the organization reputable ?
4. Is the material referenced; does the author indicate how
the material was gatherd ?
5. What is the role that this web site is designed to play ?
6. Is the material up – to – date ?
7. Is the material free from biases, personal opinions and
offence ?
8. How do we know that the author is authoritative on this
web –sited ?
The title of the research
“Research paper published in on – line
journal in global”
The question :
1. Is the material of research in on – line journal
referenced?
2. Is the material of the research in on – line journal up-to-
date?
3. Is the material of the research in on-line journal free from
biases ?
4. Is the material of the research in on-line journal personal
opinion and offence ?
