A pilot study is a small preliminary study conducted before a larger research study to test feasibility, reliability, and validity. It helps identify potential problems in design or methodology. Key reasons for conducting a pilot study include assessing the feasibility of processes, resources, human/data management, and scientific aspects like response and variance. Pilot studies allow researchers to test hypotheses, gain insights, and reduce risks of problems in the full study.

A trial study carried out before a research design is finalized to assist in defining the research questions or to test the feasibility, reliability and validity of proposed study design.
A small scale study conducted to test the plan and method of a research study.

RESEARCH APPROACHES AND DESIGNS
A Research design is the framework or guide used for the planning, implementation and analysis of a study. It is a systematic plan of what is to be done, how it will be done and how the data will be analyzed.
ELEMENTS OF RESEARCH DESIGN
Research design is also known as a blueprint thatresearchers select to carry out their research study,sometimes research design is used interchangeably withthe term methodology. Research design includes majorelements like:
The Approach
The Population, Sample and Sampling Technique
The Time, Place and Sources of Data collection
Tools and methods of data collection
Methods of data analysis

2. DEFINITION
• Pilot study is a trail study carry out before a
research design is finalized to assist in defining the
research question or to test the feasibility,
reliability, and validity of the proposed study
design.
3. MEANING AND CONCEPTS
• A pilot study is a small study designed to gather
information prior to a larger study, in order to
improve the quality of final study.
• A pilot study can reveal deficiencies in the design of
a proposed research proposal.
• A good research strategy requires careful planning
& a pilot study often is a part of this strategy.
4. REASONS FOR CONDUCTING A PILOT STUDY
• Main Reasons :
1. Process : This assesses the feasibility of the process
that are key to the success of the main study
2. Resources : This deals with assessing time &
resource problems that can occur during the main
study.
5. 3. Management : This covers potential human & data
management problems.
4. Scientific : This deals with the assessment of the
response, effect & variance of the effect.
6. OTHER REASONS
1. Developing & testing adequacy of research instrument.
2. Assessing the feasibility of a full scale study /survey.
3. Establishing whether the sampling frame & technique are
effective collecting preliminary data.
4. Determining what resources are needed for a planned
study
5. Assessing the proposed data analysis techniques to
uncover potential problems.
6. Developing a research question & research plan.
7. ADVANTAGES
• It permits preliminary testing of hypothesis that leads
to testing more precise hypotheses in the main study.
• It often provides the researcher with ideas,
approaches & clues the researcher may not have
foreseen before conducting the pilot study.
• It may save lot of time & money.
8. • It permits a thorough check of the planned statistical
& analytical procedures, giving a researcher a chance
to evaluate their usefulness to the data.
• It can greatly reduce the number of unanticipated
problems because the researcher have all
opportunity to redesign parts of his/her study to
overcome difficulties that the pilot study reveals.
9. • In the pilot study, the researcher may try out a
number of alternative measures & then select those
that produce the clearest results for the cleanest
results for the main study.
10. PROBLEMS OF PIOLT STUDY
• Possibility of making inaccurate predictions or
assumptions on the basis of pilot data.
• Completing a pilot study successfully is not a
guarantee of the success of the full scale survey.
• A more common problem is deciding whether to
include pilot study participants in the main study.
