“…According to Naderifar et al (2017), there is a low risk of response bias for a homogenous population by target features. Padayachee (2016) submit that professionals and other participants with formal qualifications, career profiles, and higher working experience are mature and are more ready to participate in a web-based survey. Thus, the drop out attrition rate will be reduced.…”

“…Internet-mediated research which involves the use of online platforms such as social media platforms (Padayachee, 2016) was used in the administration of the questionnaire. The Google form was used to create the questionnaire, and the link was sent to the LinkedIn and WhatsApp groups and email addresses of the selected participants across the zone, using details obtained through a preliminary survey.…”

The construction industry influences and accelerates national growth and development, but it, however, contributes to unsustainable and eco-unfriendly development which impacts on the economy and environment. To encourage investment in sustainable construction, this study made a case for green building materials (GBM) products and services market in the construction industry of developing countries, through an assessment of the benefits of GBM incorporation in construction projects. The study adopted an internet-mediated questionnaire survey approach and snowball sampling techniques to gathered data from clients, consultants, professionals, and contractors/sub-contractor in the southeast geopolitical zones of Nigeria. Frequency, Percentile, Shapiro-Wilk test, Kaiser–Meyer–Olkin (KMO) and Bartlett’s tests, relative importance index (RII) and Kruskal-Wallis test were used to analyse the collected data. The study revealed that the green construction market is unsaturated and under-tapped. With high awareness and low adoption levels of GBM, it was concluded that the most important benefits of GBM that will trigger demand and supply of GBM products and services are improved daylight and reduced need for artificial lighting, improves the quality of life, Increase employees productivity and reduced absenteeism, improve occupants health and comfort, higher profit and return on investment, leads to construction professionals specialisation, reducing greenhouse gas emission from building, reduces toxicity in the internal environment, low operating and maintenance cost, and creates new job opportunities. The uniqueness of this study lies in the assessment of the views of construction stakeholders' in the five states that make up the South-eastern geo-political zone of Nigeria, regarding the key benefits that could trigger the uptake and incorporation of GBM in construction. Developers and Investors in the industry could invest in green construction since there is a ready and unsaturated market for it.

“…Online research provides several advantages such as more environmentally friendly, cheaper, obtain more specific and programmatic data accuracy, and able to reach more samples without being limited by demographics (Padayachee, 2016;Sinclair, Toole, Malawaraarachchi, & Leder, 2012;Wu, Sun, & Tan, 2013). The drawback of online research is the low response rate of respondents which affects the validity and reliability scores (Manzo & Burke, 2012;Sinclair et al, 2012).…”

The purpose of this study was to analyze the feasibility of the items of the four-tier multiple-choice test immune system instrument that had been developed. The development of the instrument using the Treagust (1988) model, namely defining content, collecting student misconceptions information, and developing a diagnostic test. A total of 25 items have been developed. The results of the instrument development were tested on 142 students of grade XI from several high schools in Surakarta who were selected by simple random sampling. The data analysis technique was performed using Rasch analysis in the Winstep application. The results of the construct validity test showed items number 5, 7, and 9 did not fit the validity standards. The reliability test shows that the value of Cronbach Alpha reliability is bad (n = 0.51), the value of the reliability item is special (no = 0.97), the value of person reliability is sufficient (n = 0.68), the value of person separation is weak (n = 1.44), and the item separation value is special (n = 5.38). The person discrimination test showed student 056P31 has the highest ability and student 098P51 has the lowest ability. The item discrimination test shows item number 1 is the best item and the bad item is number 14. The item difficulty analysis showed less proportionality because there were too many items in the easy and difficult categories. An expansion of the sample is needed to see a more comprehensive and diverse range of responses to instruments.

“…From the final sample, nine participants finished the trial course unit successfully. Their identities were kept anonymous (Hewson & Buchanan, 2013;Lee & Hollister, 2020;Padayachee, 2016), using aliases instead (Figure 9). "reactive methods in which the researcher sets up a research situation with the explicit intent of gathering primary research data, and where participants are recruited and take part in the full knowledge that they are participating in a research study" (Hewson, 2008, p. 4).…”
