Inductive Approach To The Research Approach

2.2 Research Approach

The research approach draws on the sources of knowledge through inductive or deductive reasoning and operationalised with the use of the method.

2.2.1 Inductive Approach

The inductive approach, undoubtedly, is one of the most popular as the research method is scientific and thinking, while its most salient and distinctive feature is that it comes to drawing conclusions or theories on various aspects through the analysis of particular cases. By this way it presents it is popularly said that the inductive method is to go from the particular to the general. The inductive method is important to science because it serves as a starting point for conducting tests later that provide evidence about truth or falsity of course (Goertz

It is a technique of getting information with sociological interest by means of questionnaire that was developed earlier as with the help of questionnaire, the researcher can get the opinion and assessment of selected subject with a sample on given topic. Thus, survey is assumed as a series of questions, which is addressed to participants in research. The surveys are administered in person by telephone, and through email or internet. It is mainly managed by an individual or group. However, the surveys are helpful in getting information regarding many people that includes multiple choice and open questions like demographic information, beliefs, health, skills, and attitudes. However, in survey interview, the participants read the questionnaire that respond in writing without any proper direct intervention that collaborate the research person (Creswell,

It is mentioned that convenience sampling is easy to carry with the rules that are governing with the sample that must be collected (Goertz and Mahoney, 2012).

It is selected directly and intentionally individuals in the sample, depending on the ease of access. It helps in gathering useful information and data that are impossible by using probability sampling technique, which needs formal access to list of population (Goertz and Mahoney, 2012). This sampling is easy and efficient but not one of the favourites because in these studies the key is to extract the maximum amount of information few cases of the sample, and the method for convenience cannot supply the richest sources of information. It is an easy and economical process which allows move on to other methods as the data are collected (Goertz and Mahoney, 2012). As in quantitative research, it is to select cases that are available or convenience to the researcher. It is highly recommended because it reflects that the researcher has not given much thought to the strategy to choose subjects or observation units. Moreover, it is almost always possible to devise some criteria
