The document discusses research instruments that will be used for a study analyzing the effectiveness of a resettlement program. It states that interviews will be the primary method of data collection, including both structured and unstructured interviews. Structured interviews with a fixed set of questions will be used for the sole agency overseeing the program. Unstructured interviews with open-ended questions will be used when interviewing informal settler families benefiting from the program. Researchers will take notes during interviews and also use recording devices to accurately document responses. Researchers will also keep a journal of daily observations at resettlement sites.

The researchers will use interview as a tool of gathering or collecting data. In lexical

term, an interview is a formal conversation between the interviewer and interviewee wherein the

former will ask series of questions. There are two kinds of interview: structured interview and

unstructured interview. According to McLeod (2014), structured interview is also known as a

formal interview. In this kind of interview, the interviewer will ask questions in a standardized

order where they cannot ask further question beyond the given answers. On the contrary, he

stated that unstructured interview is usually referred to as an informal interview. The

interviewers can deviate from the set of questions and can change or add questions depending on

the answer of the respondent.

The researchers will be using both structured and unstructured interview. Since this

research aims to analyze the effectiveness of the resettlement program, it is of importance to

conduct a structured interview with the NHA, as the sole agency. The researchers will formulate

fixed set of questions that will be convenient for them. In interviewing informal settler families,

the researchers will use unstructured interview. As the beneficiaries of the program and main

respondents of the study, they are the ones who can assess the proper implementation of the

program by the services it offers. Given their situation that some of them do not have the

capacity to afford education, their answers cannot be anticipated. With that being said, the

researchers’ questions will depend on the respondent’s answer.

In conducting the interviews, the researchers will be writing down notes of the answers of

the respondents. The researchers will also use devices such as audio recorder, video recorder and

camera in order accurately document the answers of the respondents as well as to avoid

misinterpretations by just taking of notes. In the same manner, will make a journal where the
researchers will put therein their analysis of their surveillance in the respective resettlement sites

on day-to-day observation.
