Section 3: Participants
Please answer the following questions, giving full details where necessary.
Will your research involve human participants?
Yes
Who are the participants? Tick all that apply:
Ages 12-16: Young People aged 17–18: Adults:
How will participants be recruited (identified and approached)?
The participants are chosen among the students from the Esoft Metro Campus Colombo- 04. The participants
of the research are selected from the Higher National Diploma in Information Technology at Esoft Metro
Campus, using the stratified sampling method to identify the target respondents. 20 students are put into
two groups and then random sampling is used to select the target population, randomly through each group.
Thereby, a selected number of respondents will be chosen from each group as respondents. In addition, the
research is based on a target population of 20 participants; therefore, the research will be conducted with 15
respondents as the sample population size, which is extracted as per the Morgan Table. The participants will
be approached with a letter to inform them of the purpose of the survey and request them to participate in
the study.
Describe the processes you will use to inform participants about what you are doing:
The consent of the participants will be obtained by providing a written letter of request to the selected
students in the diploma, whereby the respondents in each department will be informed prior about the survey
to be conducted. The letter will brief the participants of the purpose of the research and will ensure
confidentiality of the data collected and provide assurance that the data will only be used for academic
purposes, and not be shared with third parties. The letter will also state the participant has all the rights to
withdraw from the research survey, if they wish to do so.
Studies involving questionnaires: Will participants be given the option of omitting questions they do not
wish to answer?
Yes: No:
If No please explain why below and ensure that you cover any ethical issues arising from this.
Section 4: Data Storage and Security
