SECTION 1
This question is compulsory.
Question 1
The following case relates to sports and the youth in the Caribbean. Read the case carefully and
answer ALL the questions that follow.
CASE
Research was conducted by a group of sports enthusiasts in a Caribbean country to determine why many
young men and women lost interest in playing sports once they left school. Of special concern was the
issue of funding for village programmes and whether more infrastructure was needed to provide organised
activities for youth in the villages.
In conducting this research, ten structured interviews were held with male spectators at a village football
match. Questionnaires were distributed during three cricket matches to male spectators between the ages
of 30 and 50 years. A survey was conducted at a golf tournament which was played against a visiting
international team.
An official report on the findings of the research was released. Data revealed that 60 per cent of the
respondents did not agree that there was a need for more infrastructure for village programmes, while 45
per cent indicated that creating employment for the youth would be more meaningful to the society. Only
15 per cent of respondents wanted more areas in the villages for playing football, while 10 per cent of
respondents argued for more areas for elite sports such as golf. Further, a mere 5 per cent commented on
the need for the inclusion of females in sports while 75 per cent argued that women were not interested
in sports and were not suited to play such games as football.
The report recommended the support of sports such as golf, as well as the building of more cricket grounds
for international matches.
When the report was released, residents of the villages questioned the integrity of the research process
and complained that the report was flawed. They also argued that those who played golf should not have
been included in the study. They asked for further research to be conducted.

(b)	 Methods of Enquiry

SECTION A
This question is compulsory.
Question 1
The following case relates to the impact of the economic recession on food security in the Caribbean.
Read the case carefully and answer ALL the questions that follow.
CASE
The Caribbean Investigation Agency has been commissioned to examine the rise in the Caribbean’s food
import bill. The agency has published the following report.
The Caribbean region, an area of tranquility, with pristine beaches and excellent weather, finds itself in the
midst of a crisis. Its ‘open’ nature means that it is exposed to the vagaries of the international economic,
political and financial systems. In addition, the region has had to contend with the effects of droughts
and other natural and man-made disasters around the world which have had an adverse impact on its
food security. The prices of staples, for example, corn and wheat, have risen. This price rise has affected
the Caribbean’s poultry and swine industries which import corn for the production of chicken and pork.
Business associations and the public at large have therefore increased their demands for national and
regional policymakers to give the issue of food security the attention it deserves. The price increases
on basic commodities in the region are part of the general inflationary trend. For example, in 2012, the
Consumer Price Index increased by 10 per cent over a 6-month period. Additionally, tourist revenues
have declined by 17 per cent over the past year. This is against the backdrop of severe coastal flooding
which has reduced the swine population of the region’s top swine producer by 35 per cent. Moreover,
a significant drop in crop production across the region, in part caused by outdated husbandry as well as
inadequate pest control, have increased the burden on the region’s public. As a result, local communities
and nationa1 economies in the Caribbean are adversely affected.
The region has therefore embraced the Patel Initiative which attempts to assist in getting the region’s
agricultural industry back on its feet. However, in an attempt to garner the relevant archival material on
food production and its attendant issues, the agency found that many of the key regional and national
institutions lack computerized databases. This setback meant that the data had to be collected from site
visits over a six-month period. In spite of the numerous challenges encountered, the research agency was
able to complete its work.

SECTION A
This question is compulsory.
Question 1
The following case relates to the use of modern technology in school. Read it carefully and answer
ALL the questions that follow.
CASE
During 2013, debates raged in the newspapers of a Caribbean country around the issue of modern technology
in secondary schools. The popular opinion was that modern technology was helpful, but many felt that
it reduced the overall learning experience and encouraged students not to read books. In response, some
argued that technology was extremely helpful and greatly assisted in the education of especially boys
whose interest in learning was peaked with the use of electronic media.
The ministry of education opted to research the matter and appointed a specialist in education to lead the
research. The researcher conducted a survey in three secondary schools and created questionnaires with
both open-ended and close-ended questions. The researcher also created focus groups in two of the schools.
Permission was sought from the principals of each school and questionnaires were distributed to a sample
of 30 students in each school. The sample was chosen from students who were either between the ages
of 15 and 18, or in fifth or sixth form. Class lists were used and every fifth student was selected. The
researcher also requested access to the academic records of the students, but this was not allowed. The
data was subsequently presented in tabular and text forms.
The findings showed a clear correlation between the use of technology in the classroom and learning
outcomes. Eighty per cent of the students responded that they learned better when technology was used,
while 42 per cent of students felt that some teachers used the technology ineffectively. Sixty-six per
cent of students expressed a preference for computer-aided instruction and computer-assisted learning.
Thirty-six per cent of students read books and 50 per cent of them read the texts in electronic form. The
main limitation encountered was that 15 students in the sample did not return the questionnaire.
The researcher recommended the appointment of a technology coordinator and technical support for
all secondary schools. The researcher also recommended that syllabi be designed for computer-aided
instruction for boys and that after-school reading programmes should be established.

SECTION A
This question is compulsory.
The following case relates to a research project that was carried out in a community.
CASE
The Ministry of Energy Resources conducted a survey in a particular community to solicit the views
of residents with regard to their willingness to use renewable energy sources. This exercise was part
of a national effort which, if successfully implemented, is expected to save the country in excess of
US$4 million annually in fuel import costs, as well as lessen its dependence on fossil fuels. The Ministry
expects to build a mini hydroelectric station to supply the needs of the community.
Presently, the community receives electricity through diesel-powered generators, for which the costs are
heavily subsidized by the government. With international assistance, the government is trying to encourage
the use of hydroelectricity in this community.
There are more than 300 residents in the community. The survey was done using questionnaires randomly
distributed to approximately 200 persons, including teenagers.
The results of the survey were instructive, showing a clear distinction between the views of the older
versus the younger residents. Approximately 93 persons were in favour of the proposal 71 of whom
were teenagers. Older residents were a bit more ambivalent, with 40 indicating that they had very little
knowledge of the use of renewable sources of energy. The results have been interpreted by the government
as an endorsement of their policies and they have since commenced the procurement of equipment and
the training of personnel to operate the equipment when the station is completed.
Question 1
(a)	 Research Objectives
	 State ONE research objective that could have guided the research study.	 [2 marks]
(b)	 Methods of Inquiry

Read the case carefully and answer ALL the questions that follow. CASE Research was conducted by a group of sports enthusiasts in a Caribbean country to determine why many young men and women lost interest in playing sports once they left school. Of special concern was the issue of funding for village programmes and whether more infrastructure was needed to provide organised activities for youth in the villages. In conducting this research, ten structured interviews were held with male spectators at a village football match. Questionnaires were distributed during three cricket matches to male spectators between the ages of 30 and 50 years. A survey was conducted at a golf tournament which was played against a visiting international team. An official report on the findings of the research was released. Data revealed that 60 per cent of the respondents did not agree that there was a need for more infrastructure for village programmes, while 45 per cent indicated that creating employment for the youth would be more meaningful to the society. Only 15 per cent of respondents wanted more areas in the villages for playing football, while 10 per cent of respondents argued for more areas for elite sports such as golf. Further, a mere 5 per cent commented on the need for the inclusion of females in sports while 75 per cent argued that women were not interested in sports and were not suited to play such games as football. The report recommended the support of sports such as golf, as well as the building of more cricket grounds for international matches. When the report was released, residents of the villages questioned the integrity of the research process and complained that the report was flawed. They also argued that those who played golf should not have been included in the study. They asked for further research to be conducted. (a) Research Objectives Write THREE research objectives that would guide the direction of this study.

    - 2 - GOON TO THE NEXT PAGE 02111032/CAPE 2014 SECTION A This question is compulsory. Question 1 The following case relates to the impact of the economic recession on food security in the Caribbean. Read the case carefully and answer ALL the questions that follow. CASE The Caribbean Investigation Agency has been commissioned to examine the rise in the Caribbean’s food import bill. The agency has published the following report. The Caribbean region, an area of tranquility, with pristine beaches and excellent weather, finds itself in the midst of a crisis. Its ‘open’ nature means that it is exposed to the vagaries of the international economic, political and financial systems. In addition, the region has had to contend with the effects of droughts and other natural and man-made disasters around the world which have had an adverse impact on its food security. The prices of staples, for example, corn and wheat, have risen. This price rise has affected the Caribbean’s poultry and swine industries which import corn for the production of chicken and pork. Business associations and the public at large have therefore increased their demands for national and regional policymakers to give the issue of food security the attention it deserves. The price increases on basic commodities in the region are part of the general inflationary trend. For example, in 2012, the Consumer Price Index increased by 10 per cent over a 6-month period. Additionally, tourist revenues have declined by 17 per cent over the past year. This is against the backdrop of severe coastal flooding which has reduced the swine population of the region’s top swine producer by 35 per cent. Moreover, a significant drop in crop production across the region, in part caused by outdated husbandry as well as inadequate pest control, have increased the burden on the region’s public. As a result, local communities and nationa1 economies in the Caribbean are adversely affected. The region has therefore embraced the Patel Initiative which attempts to assist in getting the region’s agricultural industry back on its feet. However, in an attempt to garner the relevant archival material on food production and its attendant issues, the agency found that many of the key regional and national institutions lack computerized databases. This setback meant that the data had to be collected from site visits over a six-month period. In spite of the numerous challenges encountered, the research agency was able to complete its work.

    - 2 - GOON TO THE NEXT PAGE 02111032/CAPE 2015 SECTION A This question is compulsory. Question 1 The following case relates to the use of modern technology in school. Read it carefully and answer ALL the questions that follow. CASE During 2013, debates raged in the newspapers of a Caribbean country around the issue of modern technology in secondary schools. The popular opinion was that modern technology was helpful, but many felt that it reduced the overall learning experience and encouraged students not to read books. In response, some argued that technology was extremely helpful and greatly assisted in the education of especially boys whose interest in learning was peaked with the use of electronic media. The ministry of education opted to research the matter and appointed a specialist in education to lead the research. The researcher conducted a survey in three secondary schools and created questionnaires with both open-ended and close-ended questions. The researcher also created focus groups in two of the schools. Permission was sought from the principals of each school and questionnaires were distributed to a sample of 30 students in each school. The sample was chosen from students who were either between the ages of 15 and 18, or in fifth or sixth form. Class lists were used and every fifth student was selected. The researcher also requested access to the academic records of the students, but this was not allowed. The data was subsequently presented in tabular and text forms. The findings showed a clear correlation between the use of technology in the classroom and learning outcomes. Eighty per cent of the students responded that they learned better when technology was used, while 42 per cent of students felt that some teachers used the technology ineffectively. Sixty-six per cent of students expressed a preference for computer-aided instruction and computer-assisted learning. Thirty-six per cent of students read books and 50 per cent of them read the texts in electronic form. The main limitation encountered was that 15 students in the sample did not return the questionnaire. The researcher recommended the appointment of a technology coordinator and technical support for all secondary schools. The researcher also recommended that syllabi be designed for computer-aided instruction for boys and that after-school reading programmes should be established.

    - 2 - GOON TO THE NEXT PAGE 02111032/CAPE 2016 SECTION A This question is compulsory. The following case relates to a research project that was carried out in a community. CASE The Ministry of Energy Resources conducted a survey in a particular community to solicit the views of residents with regard to their willingness to use renewable energy sources. This exercise was part of a national effort which, if successfully implemented, is expected to save the country in excess of US$4 million annually in fuel import costs, as well as lessen its dependence on fossil fuels. The Ministry expects to build a mini hydroelectric station to supply the needs of the community. Presently, the community receives electricity through diesel-powered generators, for which the costs are heavily subsidized by the government. With international assistance, the government is trying to encourage the use of hydroelectricity in this community. There are more than 300 residents in the community. The survey was done using questionnaires randomly distributed to approximately 200 persons, including teenagers. The results of the survey were instructive, showing a clear distinction between the views of the older versus the younger residents. Approximately 93 persons were in favour of the proposal 71 of whom were teenagers. Older residents were a bit more ambivalent, with 40 indicating that they had very little knowledge of the use of renewable sources of energy. The results have been interpreted by the government as an endorsement of their policies and they have since commenced the procurement of equipment and the training of personnel to operate the equipment when the station is completed. Question 1 (a) Research Objectives State ONE research objective that could have guided the research study. [2 marks] (b) Methods of Inquiry (i) Other than a survey questionnaire, list TWO data collection methods that could have been used to collect data for this research.
