So that you can use it to "defend" yourself when people that speak the language fluently think you don't speak the language.... Which obviously you do not

FU c k.k no!

MUGABE STOP THE MALADY

He's right on this one.

luxanne:
Awwww you are very much welcomed dear.
It was my pleasure. Am here anytime
All the best OK?

Thanks. Amen. You still up, no?

luxanne:
Alright.

The primary 5 pupils can also be gotten from the 4 schools innit? So they can be up to a thousand.




Yeah Q3 seems like a follow-up question that will be answered in Q1.

How about?

*To what extent are educational cartoons watched by kids?

That can replace your Q3.

Yes. They can be gotten.

I'll defo keep you updated
Thanks for your input thus far.

Dude, seriously? Why ain't mine grey?

That Oriental Yeti is the scariest of all.

You have to use the above option on [b]each segment of my reply you quote, and your answers should be written after that...you get?

Lol. I see. I do something similar just that mine is author= with the specific no of your post.

Yours seem shorter.

luxanne:


Of course, you can take out the sources but you'l have to edit and paraphrase it to align your objectives, and also, most importantly, you need to understand the statement just in case you will be asked to defend it.

Noted.

I see...I need to visit my project again then, cuz I can't recall using Taro Yamane or any formular for sampling.

Lol. It depends on your supervisor. Some don't make it compulsory while others do.

So the n = 60 or 80? (Which number exactly is your sample size?)

The n' doesn't have a value yet... you just leave it that way.... it's like saying "sample size =" when you want to find your sample size. You dig?[/quote]

And you have your population size and sampling error as what?

My population size... I was planning to use 1000... the total of pupils in the 4 schools... But since you said I should limit it to primary 5pupils.... It shouldn't be up to 1000.. Sampling error = 0.05

My Research questions are
1: Does Television cartoon improve children's academic performance?
2: How frequent does the pupil watch television cartoon?
3: Should television cartoon be encouraged or discouraged?
4: What TV cartoon(s) so children wat h their cartoons?

Are they inline with my topic?
Also, in my chapter 4, data analysis I feel my number 1 n 3 research questions look similar as the table/chart that will represent the questions are their scores in the maths n English tests.

9icegee:
*hmmmm my buddy!!! i miss him. hope he's ok*

I'm okay sire.
How have you been?

Luxanne , how do you manage to segment my replies, treating em one by one? it's pretty tough for me as I have to copy two things for each segment

[quote author=luxanne post=36235161 ]and the one that ends it.

luxanne:
Alright

But is Primary 4 the highest level the school got? I'l recommend the highest level tho.



I see, however, these literatures aren't recent. Might be agreeable then but presently, in this 21^st century, I think cartoons and animated movies got cross-generational appeal, its no longer kids stuff.

Was gonna research on this too but it skipped me...I definitely will.





How about a sample of hundred, too much to handle?



Exactly...



Another concept for me to research upon then

Alright. I'll use primary 5 pupils

That's true. I think i'll just remove that part from my project.. You know what, out supervisor even told us not to cite any author before 2000.. that is, 2000 till date... that at times, I'll see a useful quotation from a scholar and I won't be able to use it as no one as said anything related to it recently or I simply delete the author's name and I don't reference it Bad eehn?


Sample of 100... Well Taro Yamene will decide for me. You can't just pick a random number. Lemme show you the Formula n=N/1+N(e)2

where n=sample size, N=population
size, e=the error of sampling.

Whatever you get from the workings will be your sample size.... I pray it favors me tho

luxanne:
Lool.

Definitely not those kind. Strictly educational cartoons I agree.



So what primary level do you use then?

Primary 4.

luxanne:
Anyways, some supervisors are like that, most times these topics they give out are their own personal projects they are either working on or intends to.

Eh ehn... That's true oo

luxanne:
However, TBH with you, this topic is cool unless you don't find it interesting enough.

Tell you what, I love the topic. I really do.

luxanne:
Cartoons now seen as kid's thingy? Children have always been tagged with cartoons but when they've grown up, they still can't let go even in adulthood, lool. And @your second statement, do you have a research as proof on this view of yours? Because I think its the other way round. We should find out.

Well well, not really. I do have a scholarly backing tho.

There are lots of television contents designed for different gratifications of their target audience, which may be for children, teenagers, youth or adult to achieve objectives. Cartoons and animated films were once the favourite program of viewers of different age group in the society. These cartoon and animated films were enjoyed by almost every person from different walks of life on their television sets and theatres. In the beginning when the animated movies and cartoon started their journey, the program content of both contained humour and entertainment for all age and sophistication levels. Cartoons, however, now lacked their cross-generational appeal and converted into “kids stuff” (Kellogg, 1992). Cartoon is not a precise term now a day as it is applied to multifaceted graphic form. It is the most entertaining source for kids as they developed strong affiliation and attachment with it (Kermnitz 1973).[/quote]

luxanne:
Questions shouldn't necessarily be based on the cartoons they've watched, it could be general cartoon questions. Besides, the internet would have been helpful with these questions or even your supervisor, that is, if you both have a good resonance, afterall, its his/her topic. BTW, is your supervisor M or F?

M I'll show him my questionnaire when we resume.

luxanne:
Lool definitely not, you can't ask them that. But then again, you would be surprise to find out that, some of these secondary school students do not know how to read time, how about the 24 hours time format? Even adults find that difficult to read.

I'll give that a thought.

luxanne:
So what number of pupils are you using as case study then?

Say 60-80

luxanne:
For the sampling technique ideal for your research, rather than using the Purposive sampling technique, how about giving out these questionnaires to pupils who watch cartoons and those who don't, from their responses, it would be effective to compare and draw conclusions...reason why I preferred you'd used the secondary school students instead, well let me not ruin your already made objectives.

I think I'll do just that. In the section A of the questionnaire, I'll put HOW OFTEN DO YOU WATCH TV CARTOONS? DAILY? WEEKLY RARELY?

Just as you said, it will help me at the end, if pupils that thick "daily" perform better ( section B's test)... My conclusion will be PUPILS THAT WATCH TV CARTOONS REGULARLY PERFORM BETTER THAN THOSE WHO DONT. What do you say on this?

I think I won't need Purposive ST. like you said.

You are right here to explain to me when I get confused na, Lool.

Like right now, what's the Taro Yamane's formular about? Sounds familiar tho or mabe not.[/quote]I'm not too familiar with the thing fa. All I know is, you use the formula to get your sample, from your population.

Princeparix:
Lolz. Your findings go decide if my sister and kids go watch cartoons

Wicked somebody

I can hear Jonathan's heartbeat right from here

Princeparix:
I thought all B.Sc projects d get 5 chapters. My own been get 5 chapters.


About your research, my interest there is to know how it affects young kids and try making a decision based on your findings. Don't really know how your data will be calculated but would be happy if you can disclose it to me especially....... I'm serious about being interested in your research.

Okay. I was thinking it's only ours that have 5 chapters ni

How it affects their academics. That's what I'm researching on, not how it affects them generally.

Sure. I'm willing to help

luxanne:
I see.

Hehe you want cartoons adopted in their curriculum? What kind if I may ask? Yes I know children learn faster with pictorial images but then again, I also think such teaching aids should be restricted to the creche levels and maybe extended to the nursery levels as well.

But why use primary school pupils? I would have rather preferred secondary school pupils being used for the project because of their cognitive processes being more developed or better yet a combination of both pupils.

And is 4 primary schools enough to draw such conclusions?

Good questions.

Not at all should it be adopted in their curriculum, just saying that educational cartoons should be shown to pupils after class, cartoons that relate to what they are taught. No cartoon on my head for now.. And no... not Ben 10

Yes. I was planning to use primary 2 pupils and they are still young.


Why use primary school pupils?
First, my supervisor gave me the project topic, couldn't complain because I gave him like 6 topics earlier which he rejected.


Secondly, I think cartoons are now seen as kids thingy... In the last century, it was not; everyone watched cartoons - it was made for all.

Thirdly, I don't know the kind of questions I'll test secondary school students' academic performance base on cartoons that they watch generally but it is easy to sketch clocks in my questionnaire with captions like WHAT SAYS THE TIME, bearing in mind that there are educational cartoons that teach children Time

I can't possibly ask secondary school students what's the time. I think it fits primary school pupils... No?


Lastly, I think Cartoons educate the kids more

If four schools are enough?.. Ehmm I think so

That's just my population. If the 4 schools have 1000pupils, I'll still bring out my sample with a sampling technique. I can't distribute 1000 Questionnaire.

I'm even kinda confused here on the sampling technique to use. I want my sample to have pupils that have access to TV -Purposive sampling technique... I was told I'll use taro yamane's formula again.


Lol. Don't lemme confuse you

I downloaded the latest version a while ago and I was surprised.
I always have it on. So, technically, I still use it.

Definitely gonna be Etisalat #Ilorin#
The download speed is unrivaled

The Airtel.
Others follow.

9icegee I see you .

luxanne:
Nice topic.

Am interested in your findings

How far have you gone with it?

Not too far. I selected four primary schools, got my sample from them. I distributed questionnaire to them - it has English n Maths questions....

If they do pretty well, I'll conclude that Cartoons make children perform excellently - academically and maybe, just maybe, it should be adopted as a teaching aid in primary schools

I'm in Chapter 3. Mass communication researches have 5 Chapters.

Presently my project topic EXPOSURE TO TV CARTOON AND ITS IMPACT ON THE ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE OF PRIMARY SCHOOL STUDENTS
