Ways to measure the IV and DV

The following stage would probably start to design our data collection, therefore, we would need to know where the data we would get from. As based on the picture below, we tried to deliver some question to ask from the Independent Variable (IV) and Dependent Variable (DV). This process is to ease our setting of questionaire in the next stage.
 
 
 
According to the model, it consists of 2 independent variables which are poverty and the low investment in education by government. However, our group merely manage to produce the measuring tools for the first IV and DV.

Therefore, at the end of the class, we have gone through a formal discussion on whether to remove the second IV (low investment in education by government), at the end of the discussion, we officially remove the second IV from our model and we have decided to concentrate only at the first IV which is poverty.

This was the first part before we launched the questionaire, as referred to the entire criteria of the project / assignment, after we have delivered the data collection, we are required to do the questionaire with not more than 20 question which are not including the demographic question.

In order to possess a better picture on how to run the questionaire, we would make it a clear and precise explanation in the tenth stage. Before the questionaire, our group are discussing on where is our target group to distribute the questionaire.
 
The target group and venue for our member to carry out the survey questionaire are those who parents who working in coffee shop, travel by bus and stay in the low cost area such as flat.
 
By having the three criteria, Mr. Stephen told us that we are required to find out 5 places for each criteria that we have written.
 
The picture below shown the criteria and places we have stated:-
 
There are clearly stated the place we are going to carry out our survey questionaire. Hence, our group member of 4 people have assigned to different places by our group leader - Wai Lam.
 
Yu Wai Lam (group leader) , he possess a car and able to travel to the place which is far from our college. Thus, Wai Lam would incharge of:-
  • Taman Bunga Raya (Coffee shop)
  • Taman Bunga Raya (Bus stop)
  • Cheras (Flat area)
  • Sri Rampai (Flat area)
Jiney Wong would probably incharge on the:-
  • Wangsa Maju (Coffee shop)
  • Wangsa Maju (Bus stop nearby the LRT station)
  • Wangsa Maju (Flat area)
Li Chee Wah (Leonard) would incharge of his hometown (Raub,Pahang) and some of the KL area:-
  • Raub, Pahang (Coffee shop)
  • Genting Klang (Bus stop)
  • Genting Klang (Coffee shop)
  • Genting Klang (Flat area)
Tan Teck Kim (Janice) would incharge in several place that she familiar with:-
  • Sri Rampai (Coffee shop)
  • Jalan Pahang (Bus stop)
  • Titiwangsa (Bus Stop)
  • Sentul (Flat area)
As according to the requirement, we are requested to carry out 100 survey questionaire to get information in order to collect data on our subject matter. Thus, we have divided 100 pieces of questionaire into 4 person and each of us would probably incharge of 25 pieces of survey questionaire in different places.
