Research project part E
Final Project Outline Template
The place I chose for my project is very famous among the people where I live, as known Abbotsford has less population when compared to Surrey or Langley, and there are very less places to visit, Mill Lake is the place where people love to jog and walk in the morning or evening. It is the place where people like to spend most of their time when it’s a sunny day outside or a family wants to have a nice picnic, it could be seen how busy the lake is especially on a nice day. There are 4 different paths to enter the lake which is very interesting and once could find many different species of fishes and birds, but when I visited the Mill Lake for my excursion I was pretty shocked finding that there were very few people who visited the park, I never saw the lake this quiet before.
Mill Lake is situated in Abbotsford, the lake is famous for fishing, running and walking. Interestingly, the lake is surrounded by a pool, volleyball courts and a ball diamond. It is very expensive to rent a appartment in the Mill Lake residency because of the beautiful view and glimpse of nature. Apart from the beauty of the lake, I have heard few scary stories about the lake from my cousins, they say there were few dead bodies discovered around the lake and the people found dead were found on different days and were not found to know each other, which is why I prefer visiting the lake during daylight so that I won’t get scared, but I can’t just stop visiting the place, it is so relaxing and beautiful.
I chose the Mill Lake for my excursion for a reason, as known the pandemic has hit the world since December 2019 and it has impacted our lives more than we could have ever imagined of. Being the famous and busiest place of Abbotsford forced me to visit and notice the changes that could be seen as a result of COVID-19. I was amazed finding there were hardly few people who visited the place, and I could see more of the aged people visiting the lake and I must say the young people being more educated than the aged people were less concerned about following the rules and regulations being set by the health departments. I would be reflecting more on how COVID-19 has impacted the lake and its environment.
Qualitative technique implies in which we do the examination dependent on pictures, perspectives, and bits of knowledge we find in the consistent schedule (Mulhall, 2003).
Observational research is utilized to allude to a few unique kinds of non-trial concentrates in which conduct is methodically watched and recorded. The objective of observational examination is to portray a variable or set of factors. More for the most part, the objective is to get a depiction of explicit attributes of an individual, gathering, or setting.
So basically, there are 4 type of observational research that is:
· Complete observer: in this researcher is neither seen nor noticed by participants
· Observer as Participant: under this the participants know the research goals of the observer.
· Participant as Observer: in this the researcher is fully engaged with the participants.
· Complete Participant: in this Participants are not aware that observation and research is being conducted.
The advantages of the observational from my personal view on the field report that I conducted:
· Direct study which means observations are done by the researcher which is done by me. No need to depend on anyone.
· Exactness which means that Observation should be based on standardized tools of research which sees exact in its nature of working.
· Physical and mental activity which means sense organs have a very critical role to play in the observation process.
The disadvantage of the observational from my personal view on the field report that I conducted:
· Observation is a time taking process which means it takes a lot of energy and time because we must write each and everything on that time.
· Observation involves a lot of time as one must wait for an event to happen to study that event.
· Depending on the data I have collected insight noting cannot be changed.
The paragraphs would have how the Lake was before, how it has changed due to the spread of virus and what I observed in detail.
