To research the issue at hand, quantitative research method will be chosen. The proposed approach will allow establishing the cause-and-effect connection between the variables under analysis by identifying the presence of correlation between the variables. Specifically, the descriptive analytical approach will be utilized to identify the connection between the variables at hand.
Study Population and Sample
The study will include 150 female participants as a research sample. By incorporating the convenience sampling approach, the specified population will be recruited from the government sector in the Hali region. Although the use of the convenience sampling will suggest a drop in the extent of results being representative of the target demographic, it will allow minimizing the range of resources spent on the sampling process.
Study Tool
To gather the necessary information, a survey will be used as the main data collection tool. The application of the survey will help arrange the information in the way that will allow identifying the relationships between the variables faster and more effectively (Rahi, 2017). Specifically, the survey will incorporate questions that will prompt the participants to provide quantitative data by marking their responses on a Likert-type scale (Chyung et al., 2017). Thus, the information regarding the changes in the levels and extent of awareness concerning the presence of talented students in the school setting among teachers in the Hali region. Although the application of a questionnaire with Likert-type questions will not provide enough flexibility to discover additional factors that might shape the target population’s perceptions of talented students, a questionnaire will provide accurate responses to the key research question (Ricci et al., 2019). Therefore, the use of the specified data collection tool is fully justified for the specified research type.
