Abstract
In this section, I provide the methodological framework explained in the previous chapter, by describing the design and implementation of this present study. The first section of this chapter, Section 4.1, is dedicated to the pilot study, whose results served as an important basis for developing and designing the main study, which is described in Section 4.2. Section 4.2 begins with an account of the reconstruction method applied in the main study (in Section 4.2.1), followed by a description of the task design (in Section 4.2.2), of the sampling and the instruments used for the sampling in the main study (in Section 4.2.3). This is followed by an account of the underlying quality criteria for qualitative research in Section 4.2.4. The implementation of the main study and data analysis for achieving the goals set by the research questions of this present study are illustrated in Sections 4.2.5 and 4.2.6 respectively.
