Planni anning ng and preparat ratio ion

 I conducted research prior to conducting survey to ensure I

had the correct background information and to clarify the survey purpose.

 I had to set my objectives  The study areas were selected, followed by the sample size

and method

 The questionnaire was drawn up and approved by the Project

Director Fieldw eldwork

• rk

 While out on the field I needed to be aware of how to gather

primary data and to work in participation with the other staff members.

 Due to the fact this was a sensitive topic and I was operating

in a different environment I needed to be inter-culturally sensitive and respectful at all times

Data processin ssing g and analys ysis is

 At this stage it was vital that I knew how to analyse

the information we had gathered; reading through all the questionnaires and evaluating the information Drawing ing up results

 Once the appropriate data was gathered and analysed

I then had to compile the information, input it into the computer and draw up suitable charts to graphically represent the results, followed by an explanation.

 Hands on experience  Developed competence in methods

and work practices applied

 Worked well in teams  Better able to relate with people from

differing backgrounds

 Effective communication  Improved coping mechanisms  Self-awareness of my strengths

and weaknesses
