RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
3.1 RESEARCH DESIGN
A research design according to Kerlinger (1966: P. 275) is seen as plan, structure, and strategy of investigation conceived to obtain a reply or answer to a research questions and to control the variance the choice of a research design in any investigation is determined by the purpose of the study and type and nature of problem to be investigated. The study a descriptive survey. The rationale behind using this survey method is to enable the researcher report things, situations the way they are. That is why Cohen and Manion – (1980: P. 48) maintained that historical research is concerned with conditions that exist, attitude. Dyer (1979: P. 64) also states that historical or descriptive …show more content…
A research design according to C. Oguono (2006) means a system that researcher use in arriving at decisions regarding the study‟s scope, instrument and size. The choice of research design for use in any investigation depends solely on the purpose of the study and the type or nature of the problem investigated. The researcher decides to use percentage method through the issuance of questionnaires and adopt single random sampling techniques. The design shows how the subject of the study is brought into the scope of the research to produce results. The researcher intends to collect data from the libraries, interviews, websites, journals and questionnaires as his primary source of information. The method shall examine the work under the following sub heading: Research design, data collection method, sample of population techniques, instrumentation, validation of data, administration of instruments and data analysis procedure, based on the topic “local government authority as catalyst for grassroots emancipation and …show more content…
Nwana (1981: P. 26) says no fixed number of sample is ideal and no fixed number of percentage is also ideal rather, it is the circumstances surrounding the study situation that determines what number or what percentage of the population the researcher should use. In a bid to get the right sample size for the study, the researcher adopts the Nwana position, which says the population is a few hundreds, a 40% or more sample will do. If many hundreds, a 2020 sample will do, if a few thousand, a 10% will be used and if several thousands a 5% or fewer sample will do. Consequently, upon the foregoing, the researcher chooses the sample of one hundred and fifty thousand people in the four local government areas use as pilot areas. 3.4 DATA COLLECTION
This deals with modality adopted by the researcher to get relevant information or data about the situation or things he/she chooses to study. Data simply refer to raw materials or responses from either at first-hand information, second hand or third hand information or sources it views today through the lens of retrospect.
