The previous chapter formed a conceptual model aimed at examining broadband adoption, usage, and impact from the context of household consumers. This chapter aims to provide an overview of the research approaches utilised within information systems (IS) field, which leads to the selection of an appropriate research approach for guiding the validation of the conceptual model. To understand the research topic, to validate and understand the conceptual model, and to obtain the required data, a quantitative research was employed. The philosophical foundation utilised for guidance was positivism, resulting in a survey research approach being employed. The data collection technique used to collect the data was the questionnaire. Reasons for the selection of the philosophical underpinning, type of research approach, and data collection method are explained and justified within this chapter. This chapter is structured as follows. The next section provides an overview of the underlying epistemologies and then provides justifications for the preferred one. This is followed by an overview discussion on various issues related to the available research approaches in the IS field and a justification for the selection of a survey as the research approach. A detailed account of the various aspects of the survey approach is then offered. This is followed by a brief discussion on issues relating to data analyses. The final section offers a summary of the chapter.

Natural disasters challenge regions, environments, and communities to regain control of their lives and rise to face their future. To turn up from pressure or be resilient, disaster victims need support from their families and their environment. Disaster victims need help from their families and their environment to rise again from pressure or be resilient. Based on this, there is an assumption that mothers can increase survivors' resilience to keep growing from stress. The method used in this research is quantitative research methods, using data collection techniques through questionnaires or questionnaires as a data collection technique. The research was conducted at Huntara Lere. The population in this study were child survivors of the disaster in Lere Huntara with the criteria for children in the age range 7-12 years and lived in Lere Village, West Palu District, Palu City. The collected data were then analyzed using validity, reliability, and assumption tests using the SPSS 16 assisted technique.

Providing access and usage are the reason for existence of memory institutions such as archive repositories. Despite the importance of the visibility and accessibility of public archive repositories, various scholars concur that these repositories in eastern and southern Africa are not known and are accessed by few people. This chapter utilises the concept of soft power as a framework to examine the visibility and accessibility of public archives repositories in South Africa. A quantitative research approach utilising questionnaires, interviews, content analysis and the observation of landmarks were employed as data collection tools. The findings revealed that collaboration, especially with civil societies, is a key for successful public programming at the lowest cost. It concludes that the concept of soft power can provide deep insight and better understanding on how to develop inexpensive visibility programme, yet capable of attracting a large number of people in a sustainable manner.

Chapter 2 described the proposed conceptual model that is used to understand the adoption, usage, and impact of broadband from the consumer perspective. Chapter 3 described the appropriate research approach for testing the hypotheses and to validate the proposed conceptual model. From Chapter 3 it was concluded that the survey research approach is an appropriate method to investigate the issue of broadband diffusion. Further suggestions that were provided in Chapter 3 are before conducting the final data collection a reliable survey instrument should be developed and validated. Validating an instrument is a critical step before testing a conceptual model (Boudreau et al., 2001; Straub et al., 2004). This is due to the rigour of the findings and interpretations in positivist research that are based on the solid validation of the instruments used to gather data (Boudreau et al., 2001; Straub et al., 2004). Therefore, this chapter aims to describe the development of a survey instrument designed to investigate broadband adoption, usage, and impact within UK households. By undertaking the following three stages, this led to the development of a reliable instrument: (1) to explain broadband adoption behaviour some initial factors were identified from the literature and then a decision upon how to determine them in an exploratory survey approach needed to be made; (2) content validation was performed on the itemed pools that resulted from the exploratory survey. The purpose of this step was to confirm the representativeness of items to a particular construct domain and, finally, (3) a pre-test and a pilot test were conducted utilising the obtained instrument after content validation was undertaken in order to confirm the reliability of the measures.The next section briefly re-introduces the conceptual model and provides a list of the constructs included in the various stages of the validation process. Following this, an overview of the instrument development process is provided. Then the first stage of the validation process (i.e., the exploratory survey) is presented and discussed. This is followed by the content validation process. The instrument testing process that includes the pre-test and pilot-test is described before presenting the summary of the chapter.

The purposes of this research are 1) to analyze the differences of the effect of gender, years of study, and major on the academic self-efficacy, and 2) to predict academic self-efficacy in determining academic achievement. This is a quantitative research using a survey approach. The location of this study is STKIP Singkawang (School of Teacher Training and Educational Science). The sample used is 223 students, which consisted of 112 males and 111 females. The data collection technique used is a questionnaire using a Likert scale. The data were analyzed using SPSS with descriptive statistical techniques, correlation, regression, and univariate GLM analysis. The results confirm that; 1) different majors have a significant influence on academic self-efficacy compared to the gender and years of study. The students of social sciences major have higher academic self-efficacy than those in the exact sciences major.; 2) self-efficacy has a positive relationship and is also a predictor in determining academic achievement. This shows that any improvement in academic self-efficacy will be accompanied by an improvement in the academic achievement.
