  14. Indeed, anonymity is a vehicle by which confidentiality is operationalized. Thus, these two terms are deem important in a research and therefore should be maintained during a research process. The term confidentiality may be defined as, spoken or written in confidence; charge with secrets while anonymity is defines as, unknown name, of unknown authorship. During the research process, confidentiality of data and anonymity of a participants can be maintained by ensuring the separation of data from identifiable individuals and storing the code linking data to individuals securely. Also, researcher should endeavor to protect their identity of the research participants through various processes designed to anonymise them.

  18. I strongly believe that it can be quite beneficial for both students and teachers to attend and participate in Research Day activities in various institutions.In terms of students they can benefit in the sense that by attending different Research Days they can become more knowledgeable of different things due to the information that is presented at these institutions.More importantly they can see samples of different researches done and get a better idea on how to conduct theirs.Additionally students can get ideas on how to conduct Research Day at their own institutions.Where the teacher is concerned they can benefit just as much as students by looking at the different information presented and get ideas on how to help their students on Research Day.
    Where Research Day is concerned at my institution I plan to participate by attending the different sessions and gathering as much information as possible and asking questions in instances where I might not be clear so as to get a better understanding and become more knowledgeable so that I can later help in educating and assisting others to the best of my ability.

  28. As far as I see it, I believe that research is very important in today’s society as it gives persons the mean of finding out things, experiment and to solve issues that are out there in our society. As a young teacher coming up, I know that when I enter into the classrooms, I will be faced with many issues and challenges. I also know that i would love to change some of these issues and challenges and make them better. these issues and challenges will turn into opportunities for me to change the lives of my students. What better way to do it than using research. Attending research day at different schools will benefit both teachers and students as they will get adequate information and many ideas of how to conduct research. They will also know that research is not just asking questions but will know the relevant factors that a research entails which are very important. I will make sure that I participate in the activities on research day such as going to as many sessions as possible as every one has different ideas to share with their audience. I will leave with the information that will help me to change the fate of society for children; the information that will help me to make a positive change and a great influence in the lives of others.

  31. Research Day is beneficial to both students and teachers. This informative day provides a wealth of useful information that both stakeholders can capitalize on to enhance the and learning process of research at the trust level. Teachers will be able to experience the strategies employed by other instructors, as well as garner visual representations of these strategies. Students will certainly be able to view and ask questions in relation to research projects. This will ultimately help them in their own researches. As for me, I plan to capitalize on whatever is provided at my exposal during Research Day in an effort to aid the completion of my Research project.
