Can anyone please help me I am tryng to write my methodology for my dissertation n need some help. Am I using a multi-method approach if I am using 2 different questionnaires, Im posting one questionnaire to a number of teachers and asking a number of children to complete a different questionnaire that I will of made avaliable on the internet for them to complete. Is that a mulit-method approach or not? please help driving me crazy!
This certainly does not sound like a multi-method
approach at all. You intend to use questionaires,
i.e. single methodology, for what sounds like a
simple survey. The different wordings of the Qs.
does not mean that the methodology is any
different.
It would be advisable to have your questionnaires
carefully proof-read before you actually use them,
since your English usage is very suspect, and that
is a fatal flaw in any academic undertaking.
No - the multi-method would be the same questionnaire made available in different ways - as you say via post, internet - or if you had anyone illerate, you would read the questionnaire to them and note the answers (interviewing)...
