0.7.2.The study population
The Study Population is the population from Huye district in
Rwaniro sector, and all are the audience group of RC Huye.
0.7.3.Sample Design and
Size
Population and sample size of the study: Population in that
sector are from rural area, the total respondents are 30.
This means that I used the sampling technique which is
purposive in that sector I interacted with group of people who regularly
listen to RC Huye especially who frequently give their views to the radio
station, they are called «RC Huye Ambassadors» in their respective
villages.
I measure if there's any change in their everyday's life
economically and socially through basing on how they live before starting
hearing the program. Sampling technique: I choose respondents regarding the
time they listen to the radio.
In this research, I had met people and I had a focus group
where it will be a discussion about the real impact of the program to their
everyday's life.
0.7.4.Data collection
instruments
In this research in collecting data I used different
techniques including:
Interviewing (An interview is a data-collection technique that
involves oral questioning of respondents, either individually or as a group),
Observing (observation is a technique that involves systematically selecting,
watching and recording behaviour and characteristics of living beings, objects
or phenomena), and Using available information (usually there is a large amount
of data that has already been collected by others, although it may not
necessarily have been analysed or published. Locating these sources and
retrieving the information is a good starting point in any data collection
effort).
It becomes clear when a researcher use different data
collection techniques because they can complement each other. A skilful use of
a combination of different techniques can reduce the chance of bias and will
give a more comprehensive understanding of the topic under study.
While collecting data, I used a focus group discussion, and
this group contributes more in data gathering.
0.8. Scope of the study
This study is limited to the period between March 2010 and
March 2011, mainly because it is where this program was regularly aired twice a
week, and the RC Huye transmitter's capacity expanded in that time. And then as
a researcher, I want to take the respondents in Rwaniro sector located in Huye
district.
