\nhim\/her to write introductory paragraphs for the methodology chapter and about

Notes to be considered: <\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Everything written in red
\nmeans that it was taken from previous references and requires paraphrasing.
\nAlso, all the required references are written in a green color.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

I will send you a pdf copy of my research proposal to understand
\nhow to write the introductory paragraphs.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Below are the instructions to be followed in writing the pilot
\nstudy section.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Section 5 Pilot Study<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Start this section by defining a pilot study.  <\/span>You can find the definition in the following reference on page 43<\/span>:<\/p>\n

Mackey,
\nA., & Gass, S. M. (2005). <\/span>Second language research, methodology and design<\/span><\/i>. Mahwah, New
\nJersey: Lawrence Erlbaum Associates. <\/span><\/p>\n

Following that
\nwrite about the Advantages of pilot study as stated in the reference below:<\/span><\/p>\n

Pilot
\nstudies enable study methods and data collection processes to be examined prior
\nto a subsequent study (Reed et al.<\/i>, 2007). Peers and participants can
\nprovide information on the appropriateness of intended instruments and
\ninterview guides thus validating the research processes before a study begins. <\/span><\/p>\n

Reed, M. J., Newby, D. E., Coull, A. J., Jacques, K. G.,
\nPrescott, R. J., & Gray, A. J. (2007). The Risk stratification Of Syncope
\nin the Emergency department (ROSE) pilot study: a comparison of existing
\nsyncope guidelines. Emergency medicine journal: EMJ<\/i>, 24<\/i>(4),
\n270.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\u200f<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Then, please indicate that there is no specific number
\nfor the sample size in a pilot study. You can justify such claim from the
\nfollowing reference:<\/span><\/p>\n

The
\nstudy of Billingham et al<\/i>. (2013) mentioned that even though all studies
\nshould have a sample size justification, some kinds of studies do not need to
\nhave a sample size calculation. Their studies, however, concluded that a formal
\nsample size calculation for pilot studies may not be appropriate.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Billingham, S. A., Whitehead, A. L., & Julious, S. A.
\n(2013). An audit of sample sizes for pilot and feasibility trials being
\nundertaken in the United Kingdom registered in the United Kingdom Clinical
\nResearch Network database. BMC medical research methodology<\/i>, 13<\/i>,
\n1-6.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\u200f<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

For
\nthis reason, the pilot study in the current study targeted 20 healthcare practitioners
\n(doctors and nurses) and 20 patients for the quantitative phase. As for the
\nqualitative phase, 4 observations were conducted and 6 interviews were
\nconducted: 3 with patients and 3 with healthcare practitioners (doctors and
\npatients)<\/span><\/p>\n

Following that, write why did you conduct a
\npilot study? <\/span><\/p>\n

Below are relevant points from two different
\nsources:<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

One tangible feature for pilot studies is casting light on the
\npotential problems associated with the tools, procedures, materials and
\ntimeframe so that they can be addressed before the actual study is undertaken
\n(Mackey & Gass, 2005)<\/span><\/p>\n

Mackey, A., & Gass, S. M. (2005). <\/span>Second language
\nresearch, methodology and design<\/span><\/i>. Mahwah, New Jersey: Lawrence Erlbaum Associates. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

to provide an initial evaluation of the internal consistency of the
\nitems; and to improve questions, format, and instructions. Pilot testing all
\nstudy materials also provides an opportunity to assess how long the study will
\ntake (and to identify potential concerns with participant fatigue).<\/span><\/p>\n

Creswell, J. W., & Creswell, J. D.
\n(2017). Research design: Qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods
\napproaches<\/i>. Sage publications.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\u200f<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Finally, inform the readers that the pilot
\nstudy followed the same procedures as the actual study and finally write from
\nyour own words what did you benefit from conducting a pilot study in all phases
\nof the data collection including questionnaire, observation, and finally the
\ninterviews? Below is an example provided from published research to help you
\nunderstand this point!<\/span><\/p>\n

I tested the interview method online with a master\u2019s student. This
\ngave me the opportunity to learn how to conduct an interview. Although I have
\nread books and articles about conducting interviews, I knew that the experience
\nwould be different in practice. Later, when I listened to the recording of the
\ninterview, I realised that I had repeated some questions in slightly different
\nways. I also discovered that I had interrupted the student to ask her about an
\ninteresting point; however, though she answered that question, she forgot to
\nfinish answering the original question. In addition, I discovered that some of
\nmy questions were difficult to answer, so I made them clearer and more
\ncoherent. For example, I narrowed one question that was so broad that it confused
\nthe participant. In general, I sought to avoid these mistakes in the other
\ninterviews. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
