Pilot Study Sample Clauses

Pilot Study. A pilot study on 10 suspected pelvic tumor patients included in the study ،was done to explore the appropriateness of the study instruments and let the researcher training for data collection. The pilot study was improving study validity and reliability.

Pilot Study. As presented in the summary on activity 2 the SW to be developed under a separate TA contract will be built up with the help of a modern SW development methodology. This methodology will include a cyclical process, under which the product is developed in iterations, i.e. in planned steps following pre-defined milestones. After each iteration the development team will carry out module tests and integration test, so that it is guaranteed that the system grows with a minimum of errors still existing in the product. From time to time acceptance tests will be performed, where the developers will present the functions of the current iteration. During these tests a current prototype of the system will be presented to the MoH and IHIS, or its representative and demanded functions will be tested against the specifications. This state-of-the-art process ensures that the design specifications are fulfilled during the creation of the SW , and most of the development errors will be detected and removed beforehand. As a consequence, the pilot study to be executed after finishing the SW development must not include large SW tests anymore. The essential task of the Pilot Study must be to test and evaluate the application of the SW in its daily working environment and to draw conclusions from it. It has to be tested whether the users are able to include the tasks connected with the new SW and whether they can be included in their daily work, or which measures need to be taken to render this possible. Expected measures are:

Pilot Study. The CITY will select six corridors with distinct characteristics that the CONSULTANT can use to pilot the Speed Limit Setting Tool (v02). The CITY will provide the data collection, and any assumptions needed for the six corridors. The CONSULTANT will run the Tool for all six corridors separately and present the results to CITY staff in a virtual review meeting. Each evaluated corridor shall be included in the Speed Limit Setting Tool Workbook. Upon receiving one set of comments from the City on v02, CONSULTANT shall incorporate those comments and submit the FINAL Speed Limit Evaluation Tool (v03).

Pilot Study. The questionnaire for Round One of the Delphi survey was piloted with two children’s emergency nurses and two Paediatric Emergency Consultants to ensure that issues of validity and reliability were addressed prior to commencing the main study (Bowling 2014). Although the pilot study was optional (▇▇▇▇▇ 1987), it proved useful in clarifying what was expected from participants prior to the main study. Following feedback from the pilot study, the proposed questions for Round One were modified (Table 3.2). Instead of requesting participants to ‘describe’ the activities and interventions of importance when caring for children in A&E Department, participants would be requested to ‘list’ activities and interventions, thus excluding the potential for ‘large and unwieldy amounts of information’ being produced (▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇ 1994, p.1004). Please describe the activities and interventions of importance that registered nurses should be able to do Please list the activities and interventions of importance that registered nurses should be able to do when caring for children in when caring for children in A&E Departments. A&E Departments.(maximum 15) Please describe what enables registered nurses to undertake these activities and interventions. Please list what enables registered nurses to undertake these activities and interventions. (maximum 7) Please describe what inhibits registered nurse from undertaking these activities and interventions. Please list what inhibits registered nurses from undertaking these activities and interventions (maximum 7)

Pilot Study. After obtaining ethical approval both from my own university and the Turkish Ministry of National Education, during May 2010, several schools in Ankara, the capital of Turkey, were randomly identified via an Internet search. After making sure that the scientific inquiry learning approach was being used in these schools in accordance with the national curriculum, they were invited to participate in the pilot phase of this study, with the purpose of testing the feasibility of the initial research design as well as improving the quality and efficiency of the main study phase. After one of the public primary schools showed a willingness to participate, I sent the information sheet and consent forms to the science teacher of one class of sixth grade students (aged 12) and their parents for them to sign and return. Once this was obtained from all the participants, a meeting was arranged with the teacher and she was provided with more detailed information about the purpose of the pilot study as well as the data collection procedure. Also, she was asked to select two students to be focused upon during lesson observations based on their science achievement level (one high and one low-achieving) and anticipated willingness to share their thoughts with the researcher. Each of the chosen students was video recorded and observed during three of their science lessons. Moreover, field notes were taken during these lesson observations. While the initial design of this pilot phase also included conducting stimulated-recall and semi-structured interviews with the target students and teacher, owing to their full timetable, I was only able to carry out some informal interviews with the students during the break times concerning their perspectives on their engagement in science lessons. The observational video data was analysed in order to gain an insight into the students’ use of self-, co-, and shared regulation of their learning processes. In addition, the interview data and field notes were used to characterise the nature and context of the scientific inquiry activities observed. The pilot study phase was useful in helping me become more familiar with the research context and refining the data collection procedures for the main study phase. Moreover, its outcomes resulted in several important adjustments being made in relation to the initial research design. Firstly in this regard, it emerged that the students were engaging in both whole class and small group inquiry activ...

Pilot Study. After the Effective Date, TALi shall establish a plan for an initial clinical study for conduct of a pilot study for the RAG Offering (“Pilot Study Plan”) and submit such Pilot Study Plan for review and approval by the JSC. The JSC will use all reasonable endeavours to approve the Pilot Study Plan within [***] ([***]) days of its submission to the JSC, including holding additional meetings of the JSC for this purpose. Prior to accepting the Pilot Study Plan, the JSC may propose specific amendments to the Pilot Study Plan that TALi will use all reasonable endeavours to incorporate into any revised Pilot Study Plan that it may submit to the JSC in substitution for the previous Pilot Study Plan. Upon JSC approval of the Pilot Study Plan, TALi will conduct those activities assigned to it under the Pilot Study Plan in accordance with the timelines therein. ▇▇▇▇▇ will reimburse TALi for [***] percent ([***]%) of the direct out-of-pocket costs incurred by TALi for conducting the Pilot Study, excluding TALi internal costs, provided that such costs are reasonably documented and were incurred in accordance with the budget set forth in the Pilot Study Plan, and subject to the maximum ▇▇▇▇▇ reimbursement amount set forth in Section 4.4. Upon the conclusion of the Pilot Study, TALi will submit a report with all data and results from the Pilot Study in the form agreed upon in the Pilot Study Plan to the JSC (“Pilot Study Report”).

Pilot Study. Since the intended audience of the study was teachers the surVey was piloted among six mathematics teachers to adapt it to the Kazakhstani context and to make sure that the translation of the instrument from English to Russian and Kazakh is accurate. It was important because the Views of the target audience on the questionnaire itself will finally exert influence on how they will be responding to the items (▇▇▇▇▇, 2004). The surVey was critiqued using a structured interView process, which has been described by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ (2011) as an efficient method for piloting surVeys. Firstly, four mathematics teachers (2 Kazakh speaking teachers, and 2 Russian speaking teachers) reViewed the questionnaire for its Validity. The teachers during the pilot study were asked to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ the surVey and comment on the clarity of the questionnaire items, instructions, readability, and layout. Time taken to complete the surVey questionnaire was also recorded. The surVey was reVised based on the feedback and suggestions of the four reViewing teachers. The author of this study omitted the following item in the first part of the questionnaire: “If a student performs well in an actiVity and then fails to complete it, he does not haVe dyscalculia” because it was not clear to the teachers. Other changes were minor and concerned with the accurate translation of the items. In the end, the questionnaire was piloted with the remaining two mathematics teachers (Kazakh and Russian speaking). Both of them stated that all questions were clear and understandable in both languages (see Appendix C for detailed information about the changes in the items of the questionnaire). The population in this study was all primary and secondary mathematics teachers who work in urban mainstream schools in the selected city in Southern Kazakhstan. The site – a city in Southern Kazakhstan - is chosen for the current study due to its large economic releVance in Kazakhstan. GalimzhanoVa (2021) and ZhanatbekoVa (2018) haVe conducted research on teachers’ awareness of dyslexia and dyscalculia, respectiVely, in Northern Kazakhstan. The rationale behind choosing a city in Southern Kazakhstan as a research site is to extend the research on learning disabilities in this region. The participants were selected by the cluster sampling method as it allows selecting a specific number of schools and then surVeying all primary and secondary school mathematics teachers in those schools (▇▇▇▇▇ et al., 2007). Special and selectiVe s...
