APTE 7105 Industry Investigation Blog

Week 13:  In week 13, I started tidying up what I had written about my industry investigation proposal. I also started to generate data collection questions, which will be used to gather the relevant data. I have also identified the methodology type I will use for each type of data collection.  Data collection questions: Survey questions (Quantitative method): Social demands of electric vehicle use 1.     What is your perception of electric vehicle? 2.     Would you buy an electric vehicle as your next car, or in the future? 3.     How will electric vehicle affect your daily routine lifestyle compared to owning an internal combustion engine? 4.       Interview questions (Qualitative method): Operating parameters of electric vehicle 1.     How does the charging an electric vehicle during peak hours impact the electrical ...

  Week 12: In this week, I have finished covering the two common types of methodology, which are qualitative and quantitative.  For this week, I will focus on writing about mixed methodology, which, as the name suggests, combines qualitative and quantitative methodology. Research using mixed methods involves intentionally mixing data collecting, data processing, and evidence interpretation techniques. The word "mixed" is crucial because data linkage, or integration at the right point in the research process, is a crucial component of the mixed methods. Researchers can seek a more comprehensive understanding of their research terrain by examining occurrences from different angles and through various research lenses thanks to purposeful data integration.
