3. Research methodology is the
specific procedures or
techniques used to identify,
select, process, and analyze
information about a topic. In
a research paper, the
methodology section allows the
reader to critically evaluate
a study's overall validity and
reliability.

4. Types of research methods can be broadly divided into
two quantitative and qualitativecategories.
 Quantitative research “describes, infers, and resolves problems using
numbers. Emphasis is placed on the collection of numerical data, the
summary of those data and the drawing of inferences from the data
 Qualitative research, on the other hand, is based on words, feelings,
emotions, sounds and other non-numerical and unquantifiable elements. It
has been noted that “information is considered qualitative in nature if it
cannot be analysed by means of mathematical techniques. This
characteristic may also mean that an incident does not take place often
enough to allow reliable data to be collected

5. Research design is defined as a framework of methods and techniques
chosen by a researcher to combine various components of research in a
reasonably logical manner so that the research problem is efficiently handled.
It provides insights about “how” to conduct research using a particular
methodology. Every researcher has a list of research questions which need to
be assessed – this can be done with research design.

7. Scales of Measurement. Data can be classified as being
on one of four scales: nominal, ordinal, interval or ratio.
Each level of measurement has some important
properties that are useful to know.
