1. STATE YOUR TYPE OF DATA COLLECTION AS IN TIP 5

A) The usefulness  of strategy games to help pupils  in SSTs cohort think and react to different situations better.

B)As a research shows , playing strategy games allows some students to think and react better in some situations as they do in the games

D) There are less than 400 pupils in SST now so it would not need much resources and also we can easily play strategy games from the internet or they can be gotten from other places

E) The number of pupils in SST is very few so it is easy for a number of us to manage them

F) It is accessible as every one is in SST and also because we plan on giving an online test instead of a written test.
