Research methods, Quantitative data, Training program
Quantitative data analysis will be used to analyze data. The method is suitable for the research because it will provide quantifiable results to evaluate the effectiveness of the program to the inmates. The sample size that will be used will be sufficient to generalize the results to the entire population as pertains the effectiveness of the program. The method, also, is relatively quick, and the evaluation will not take much time to arrive at the results.
The research will employ both non-probability sampling techniques (purposive sampling method) and probability sampling techniques (simple random sampling). The research will use purposive sampling method purposively to group the inmates into two groups. One group will consist of the inmates who attended the training program while the other group will contain the inmates who did not attend the program. The group that attended the training program will solely be used for the research. Here, simple random sampling will be used to pick randomly from the inmates listed to have attended the training program. Out of the 600 inmates (30% of 2000 inmates), 30 will be picked randomly to participate in the research.
