Learning Experience: Learners undertake research on a chosen phenomenon in school and/or the community. Activity 1 Choosing a research area or problem. Learners in groups choose a topic of interest for their research and discuss in detail how to conduct research on it. Examples are average bills paid by households of students, favourite musicians of students, a suitable method for domestic waste disposal, solutions to water or air pollution in the mining area, etc. Activity 2 Choose the appropriate method of data collection Learners in groups choose a suitable method of data collection to address a given research problem (e.g. survey, interview or observation) and decide how to sample people and design appropriate tools (e.g. questionnaire, interview guide or observation guide) for collecting such data. Example: Using a survey questionnaire or interview guide to collect data on ways to reduce air or water pollution. Using observation to collect data on the amount of electricity current consumed in a week by households of students.
