Discussion
Arrange the following steps in a sequence :
I. Designing the tool
II. Review of literature
III. Pretesting
IV. Validation
V. Application of the tool
Answer: D
The key sequence is II, I, III, IV, V (option D). A researcher first reviews the literature to see what is known and what tools already exist, then designs the tool, then pretests it on a small group to find faults, then validates it, and finally applies it to the main sample. Options A, B and C place the design of the tool before the literature review, or apply the tool before pretesting and validation, which would mean using an untested instrument on the real sample.
