Abstract: | The paper presents some investigations on the life quality of orphaned children placed in foster families in Poland. The author’s
own method with the elements of original survey investigations was presented. Consecutive steps on constructing the investigation
method were presented. Firstly the investigation goals were set, the subject of investigations was selected and then the form
of a questionnaire was suggested. It was essential to choose factual issue to construct the research tool. Two groups of respondents
were appointed: children and foster parents. Two research questionnaire forms were presented and their application conditions
were highlighted. The method was verified in practice upon the selected representative families. The effectiveness of the
method was assessed considering some external factors which appeared during the investigations. The role of the researcher
and his influence upon the obtained results was emphasized. It was stressed that the cooperation with the social worker who
runs the foster family program during the investigations was of crucial importance. In conclusions the suggested research
method was assessed and its weak points were featured. Some suggestions aiming at improving both the method and the research
tool in the form of a questionnaire were recommended. |
