Educational learning resource need assessment of 21st century university buildings in Nigeria

Abstract

This study investigated the accuracy and effectiveness of employing frame stories in a pilot study to be implemented in future studies. Employing the Method of Empathy-based Stories (MEBS), six participants participated in constructing positive and negative frame stories through Google Forms. The writers used the observation method to assess the effectiveness of frame stories. The writers also included the results of previous studies and sought professional validation to enhance the study's reliability. The study's findings highlighted several factors that needed to be taken into account when integrating frame stories into future MEBS research. The study reveals that the effective integration of MEBS in future research requires the conduction of pilot studies to ensure the development of well-designed frame stories. Providing informed consent was found to significantly boost participants' autonomy in engaging with the frame story. Additionally, the use of instruction and freedom to write frame stories in first language, alongside with 5-minute video-based explanations was shown to enhance participants understanding and engagement in writing the frame stories. The study suggests diversifying data collection methods beyond Google Forms, including email and social media, to ensure the findings are applicable across diverse contexts
