Research Design, Methodology and Data Collection

Abstract

Having examined the historical background of and policy framework applicable to Liberal Studies and MNE in the previous chapters, this part of the book establishes the research inquiry at the heart of the present study. The four research questions guiding the study and the research design of its three-stage investigation framework are discussed first. Then, the mixed-methods approach adopted to collect the research data is outlined in conjunction with the rationale for its adoption, followed by the details of each of the three stages of the respective Liberal Studies and MNE policies. The chapter concludes with a short summary.
