Research – Methodology and Ethics
RESEARCH – METHODOLOGY AND ETHICS
This essay attempts to identify and sum up two research methods (Qualitative and Quantitative
Research Methods), assess their relative strengths and weaknesses and explain how two ethical
issues arise from research. Qualitative and Quantitative research approaches are two of the various
methods used in sociological research. The use of these methods can be very important and can
normally produce efficient, realistic and logical results.
So what is qualitative research and what is quantitative research? To begin with, we look at the
distinctions between the forms of research. Thus, on first consideration, the use of questionnaires as
a research technique might be seen as a quantitative strategy, whereas ... Show more content on

Qualitative descriptions can play the important role of suggesting possible relationships, causes,
effects and dynamic processes.
Because statistics are not used, but rather qualitative research uses a more descriptive, narrative
style, this research might be of particular benefit to the practitioner as she, or he could turn to
qualitative reports in order to examine forms of knowledge that might otherwise be unavailable,
thereby gaining new insight.
Qualitative research adds flesh and blood to social analysis.
Both qualitative and quantitative research methods have some similarities, for instance, whilst
quantitative research may be mostly used for testing theory, it can also be used for exploring area
and generating hypotheses and theory. Similarly qualitative research can be used for testing
hypotheses and theories even though it is mostly used for theory generation.
Qualitative data often includes quantification, e.g. statements such as more than, less than, most as
well as specific numbers, quantitative, i.e. questionnaire approaches can collect qualitative data
through open–ended questions.
ETHICAL ISSUES IN QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH
During the designing of questionnaires and the training of interviewers a number of ethical issues
need to be taken into consideration. Respondents have a right to be informed about the nature and
purposes of the study and how the information will be used prior to data collection. The issue of

Fundamentals of Research Methodology Paper
Psychology is a discipline which seeks to study the thoughts and actions of men in a scientific way.
Science is a marvelous development in the history of human thought. The American Heritage
Dictionary defines psychology as the science dealing with the mind, mental and emotional
processes, and the science of human behavior. It defines science as systemized knowledge derived
from observations and study. Scientific study is a way of understanding life and developing theories
based on what is observed (Simonton, 2009). Psychologists develop theories and conduct
psychological research to answer questions about behavior and mental processes that impact
individuals and society. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Although quantitative research is an integral part of doing research; qualitative research explores the
processes that underlie human behavior using interviews, surveys, case studies, and other personal
techniques (Salkind, 2009). Its general purpose is to examine human behavior in the social, cultural,
and political contexts in which they occur. Qualitative research can be powerful and appropriate
non–experimental way to explore an academic question rigorously, as when additional context is
needed to explain phenomenon missed by quantitative research methods. When properly performed,
qualitative research projects add to the body of knowledge on their subjects and make the researcher
well informed (Salkind, 2009).
Qualitative research deals with descriptions and data that can be observed, but not measured. It
explores items such as textures, colors, smells, tastes, and appearances and is obsessed with the
quality of the item. Its goal is to describe the meaning, rather than drawing statistical inferences.
What these experiments lose in reliability, they gain in terms of validity; providing a more in–depth
and rich description. Quantitative research deals with numbers and data that can be measured. The
length, height, speed, time, humidity, cost, age, weight, area and volume are the items quantitative
research methods deal with. The quantity of the item is

Research Methodology Introduction: Introduction in research is the most important section as it
gives an overview of the research and the contents of the document to the readers. It should take
users from their own lives to the place of the research analysis. Introduction part should give the
essential information of why the research topic is important in the field. It should be concise though
it does not have any word limits. In general introduction gives the review of the research. It is the
best place to tell any assumptions that is there in the research if any. It should define the outline of
the research and it should end with research questions which makes reader understand what exactly
the research paper is going to achieve. Literature Review: Literature review is briefly summarizing
the article which was reviewed. It is more focused on the topic of analysis and how it relates critical
analysis in your research work to other research works. To start with literature review, skim the
articles to get the idea of research work. Focus on introduction, conclusion and some paragraphs to
gather general purpose of the article and based on that group the articles into categories For
instance, group them into topics and subtopics. If exact words from the article is taken, citing that
sentence with page number is essential. Also the most important part is that the articles should be
relevant to the topic of research. Literature review is more about evaluating and integrating the

CHAPTER 3
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Introduction
In doing the research, the methodology must be appropriate so that the analysis findings could reach
the objective. Research methodology proposed one procedure in order way to be follow to answer
all the questions in the research that want to be made. Quoted by Denzin and Lincoln (1994),
methodology is a process that related with research objective and data. In the others word, it is early
research planning that include the research scope, data collection method, data collection process
and data analysis method. For Ranjit (2005), methodology is one of crucial part in research, in order
to ensure the research can be done in the systematic way Overall, this chapter will discuss on the
research frame and the methodologies used in order to meet the research objectives. Research
process been divided into three main parts there are preliminary research part, data collection and
last one data analysis.
Research Methodologies
Research methodology is a way how the research is conducted step by step and in order. There are
two methods used for data collection which is the primary data and secondary data. These data can
be obtained and used many ways. The data is taken and analyzed in advance to produce a result that
we can use for research and future reference. This study will relate to the objective we want to
achieve and finding the answer to every objective we seek. In order to successfully achieve the

Surveys
Another option available for research methodology entails the use of surveys for gathering insightful
real time information. The use of surveys, researchers have the availability to develop and gather
responses, which either support or disprove hypotheses. Humphrey (2012) administered surveys
asking questions about leadership's impact on an organization's culture and climate focusing on
transformational leadership tenets. This particular method allowed the researcher to develop and
form hypotheses related to the study (Cooper & Schlinder, 2011). Walumbwa and Hartnell (2011)
examined the correlation of leadership and employee performance through the method of a survey
also involving transformational leadership and an underlying variance. While both research studies
entailed sampling of a population through surveys, they each have varying degrees of advantages
and disadvantages conducive to their use. The advantages of a survey include:
Time– a quicker turnaround offering an opportunity to gather and analyze results
Composition– allows for development of questions in relationship to the hypotheses
Quantity– the desired amount for sampling, developing a baseline for expected return of surveys

This chapter discusses the methodology used for this research. Describing type of methodology in
research study and define the chosen method and approach for this research. Then, the outline of
research strategy used, framework this research conducted and data sources collected to obtain valid
and reliable research as the objective determined. Review of Research of Methodology
Broadly speaking, there are several purpose of research. It depends on the objective of the research
itself. First, research is conducted to get review from existing knowledge. Second, to investigate the
problem and existing situation. Third, to provide solutions to problems. Fourth, to explore and
analyse more general issues. Next, to construct or create new procedures or systems. After that, to
explain new phenomenon. Then, to generate new knowledge. Otherwise, combination of any
previous purposes. The purpose of research will determine the suitable method used to get the
objective.
Type of research
In general, research works commonly classified into four categories, namely: exploratory,
descriptive, analytical and predictive research (libguides, 2015) . Exploratory research. This type
conducted for a problem that has not been clearly defined. It looks for pattern, hypotheses or ideas
that can be tested. Can help determine the best research design, data collection method, and

Disadvantages Of Research Methodology
ii. Scientific methodology. This is the type of research methodology which focuses on the use of
scientific procedures or methods in research. Kothari. C. R (2004, 10) mentions that, "scientific
method implies an objective, logical and systematic method, i.e., a method free from personal bias
or prejudice, a method to ascertain demonstrable qualities of a phenomenon capable of being
verified, a method wherein the researcher is guided by the rules of logical reasoning, a method
wherein the investigation proceeds in an orderly manner and a method that implies internal
consistency". Scientific methodology can also be defined as the process of pursuing truth as
determined by logical considerations. Scientific methodology tries to achieve the go of research by
experimentation, observation, logical arguments from accepted suggestions and combining all these
three in changing proportions. iii. Pure research. This type of research involves developing and
testing theories and hypotheses that are challenging to the researcher intellectually but may or may
not be applied practically at the present time or even in future. The information acquired through
pure research is searched for in order to add to the existing body of research methods. Pure or basic
research does not necessarily focus on finding answer to specific questions or solve specific
problems, it is carried out in order to expand knowledge and review the unknown. It is undertaken

research the group for the express exertion to solve the issues. Action research is in any environment
where people will engage in a collective manner and are goal directed. Action research starts with an
action theory the primary focus of the theory is to introduce changes brought about by the conjecture
of the community, group or organization. Action research relies upon the evident gathered from
numerous standpoints, while lending to a more effective strategy to progress a community,

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
1. RESEARCH PARADIGM
Stating a knowledge claim means that researchers start a project with certain assumptions about how
they will learn and what they will learn during their enquiry. These claims might be called as
paradigms (Lincoln & Guba, 2000; Mertens, 1998); philosophical assumptions, epistemologies, and
ontologies (Crotty, 1998); or broadly conceived research methodologies (Neuman, 2000).
Philosophically, researchers make claims about what is knowledge (ontology), how we know it
(epistemology), what values go into it (axiology), how we write about it (rhetoric), and the processes
for studying it (methodology) (Creswell, 1994).
The researcher brings to the choice of a research design assumptions about the knowledge in claims.
In addition, operating at more applied level are strategires of inquiry or traditions of inquiry
(Creswell, 1998) or methodologies (Mertens, 1998) that provide specific direction of procedures in
research design.

d. Mediating.
Power point 11
If you are having trouble understanding this variable, you are exactly where you are supposed to be.
Hopefully, my explanation will help you! A mediating variable explains the relationship between the
two other variables. As an example, let's consider the relation between social class (SES) and
frequency of breast self–exams (BSE). Age might be a moderator variable, in that the relation
between SES and BSE could be stronger for older women and less strong or nonexistent for younger
women. Education might be a mediator variable in that it explains why there is a relation between
SES and BSE. When you remove the effect of education, the relation between SES and BSE
disappears.
Power point 12
While researchers will never state that one variable caused another variable to occur, as there are so
many variables to consider in social science research.
However, we do use the term 'causal relationship' or cause and effect relationship', where the cause
has to precede the effect and the relationship cannot be explained by any other factors that are being
considered.

2.1 Overview of Systematic Literature Review
This section of chapter was to thoroughly define and go through systematic literature review
research method.
2.1.1 Definition
Kitchenham and Charters (2007) proposed that systematic literature review has been a widespread
research methodology since 1990s, but it was initiated by medical research where number of well
documented standards has evidently showed its use. While, since the year 2004, systematic reviews
are also performed by many software engineering researchers and number of important engineering
conferences also seek submissions in this research category. In addition to this many popular
journals and magazines have distinct section for papers, which are also based on this research
methodology. (Kitchenham & Charters, 2007)
According to Kitchenham,
"A systematic literature review (often referred to as a systematic review) is a means of identifying,
evaluating and interpreting all available research relevant to a particular research question, or topic
area, or phenomenon of interest" (p.8).
The fundamental study of the systematic literature review is known as primary studies, and the

Because qualitative research is conversational , it is important for data collectors to maintain clear
boundaries between what they are told by participants and what they convey to the participants.
Keeping a proper record of so is problematic for the researcher . Consequently the data may get
manipulated.
Advantages of qualitative research:
1. Through qualitative research a researcher can seek to explore phenomena in depth and detail.
2. In qualitative research more flexible instruments are used. It has an iterative style of eliciting and
categorizing responses to questions.
3. With the help of qualitative research one can describe variations, relationships, individual
experiences among groups and describe group norms.
4. As the set of questions can be open ended we can have a more comprehensive study about the
subject. Interviews are not limited to particular questions and can be redirected or guided by
researchers in real time.
5. Some aspects of the study are flexible.

Research Methodologies
Research Methodologies In selecting a research methodology, researchers must approach the subject
matter with consideration of that which is desired as a data outcome. In light of this, the most
commonly used methodologies are quantitative, qualitative and mixed methods. The quantitative
study is usually defined so as a result of a clearly delineated range of numerical scales, sets or
representations designed to concretely define the findings of the resultant research. By its hypothesis
and its methodology, this study will be required to employ a process which is geared toward
empirically defensible findings. The determinism of numerical evaluation is widely considered less
vulnerable to individual biases unless it can be deduced that such bias informed the composition of
the equation methodology. Qualitative analysis essentially places a heavier demand upon the
involvement of the researcher in designing the frame for data analysis and the manner in which this
analysis is carried out. This means that the qualitative research must plumb through a considerable
amount of research and data in order to whittle down observational findings to a set of relevant and
useful resolutions. And indeed, after the processes of observation and information gathering, it can
be both time–consuming and intellectually taxing to reduce these findings to the most meaningful
and relevant indicators available. This difficulty is further intensified by the inherently complicated

video, and computer games has substantial short–term effects on arousal, thoughts, and emotions,
increasing the likelihood of aggressive or fearful behavior in younger children, especially in boys.
The evidence becomes inconsistent when considering older children and teenagers, and long–term

They are much cheaper than ethnography with a greater effectiveness, however, all of these
interviews or surveys were based on the retrospective data, respondents answered the questions by
their memory and the issue may happened for a long time. There could be a great influence on the
quality of data since the ability of respondent to recall information differed from one to another and
some incorrect information often occurred (Baker, 2003). The third approach considered in this
study is the real–time experience tracking developed by MESH planning. This is an approach to
record 360–degree touchpoints of brand by respondents in real time. There are three stages of data
collection. The first stage uses the pre–online questionnaire to collect information about brand
health and relationship quality. The third stage uses the same questions to ask respondents'
perception after brand encounters in order to identify any change. While the second stage for data
collection is the most crucial process in the approach. Respondents are asked to send SMS message
to report any brand encounter via mobile phones. And the online diary also helped to expand these
experiences (Willis et al 2010). Meanwhile, for identifying the CIs, weekly questionnaire will be

Research design constitutes the entire strategy for data collection including the specific data analysis
techniques or methods the researcher intends to use. Three major approaches are mostly considered
by researcher during research methodology. These are quantitative, qualitative or mixed approaches.
However, Ghauri et al. (1995) maintained that quantitative and qualitative methods are two types of
research methods mostly used by researchers.
According to Bryman& Bell (2007), the quantitative method entails systematic empirical studies
which involve quantifying through the assistance of mathematics and statistics. Data is collected and
transformed into numbers which are empirically tested to see if a relationship can be found in order
to be able to draw conclusions from the results gained. On the other hand, qualitative research does
not rely on statistics or numbers rather qualitative research often refers to case studies where the
collection of information can be received from a few studying objects.

Quantitative And Qualitative Research Methodology
Quantitative and Qualitative Research Methodology Comparison
Research, as defined by Merriam Webster, is "the activity of getting information about a subject"
(Research, n.d.). When looking at the research process there are two main approaches for gathering
information; qualitative and quantitative approaches. The qualitative approach focuses on describing
information in a deep thought provoking manner. Adversely, the quantitative approach focuses on
information from a larger number of people and applies statistical techniques to recognize patterns
in the data ("Organizing," n.d.). In the educational setting, principals are the leaders of the school.
Principals need to develop teachers, create a safe and productive work environment, and try to
impact student achievement. Great principals search for new and inventive ways to make their
school thrive. Research provides principals opportunities to better understand problems and changes
in the school setting. Using research–based data, principals can help promote student and teacher
success in the educational setting.
Qualitative and Quantitative Research methods The article "Involving Young People in Changing
Their School Environment to Make It Safer" draws upon qualitative research to explore the process
of involving teachers and students in student action groups. The article draws on the qualitative
process by using semi–structured interviews with a small sample of students and staff members

This thesis assesses the cost for Chinese urban residential construction projects(The project is a
residential building with reinforced concrete framework) using projections of urbanisation rates,
building size and construction quality. Chinese urban residential construction is expected to remain
at elevated levels for the next couple of decades, but growth will undoubtedly decrease. As the
urbanisation process winds down and as improvements in building quality become more
incremental, construction is expected to peak in 2017 and fall back below current levels sometime
around 2030. This study is dependent upon a number of assumptions. The rate of dollar is same for
constriction period , the fuel and co2 emitted from transporting material to the construction site has
been ignored , because it happens before the first process (A process) of this study, however there
are upside risks as well. The evolution of floor space per capita is quite uncertain. Construction
project performance has traditionally been calculated in terms of time, cost, quality and quantity.
Lately, environment has been considered the fourth dimension and construction organisations have
been discussed to adopt EA systems. This study focuses on forth dimension more frequently than

Research Methodology Of The Research Approach
This chapter outlines an overview of the research approach adopted in the study as well as the
research methodology and the practical approach adopted to achieve the set objectives of the study.
In addition, it also highlights the data collection methods, ethical considerations, and data analysis.
Case studies will be used as a research strategy as they are distinguished by their ability to
investigate a phenomenon which, in this case, will be the upgrading heritage buildings through
sustainable designs and construction. The chapter also rationalizes the sampling approaches and the
research methods used for collecting the data in the case studies. To achieve the objectives, data for
this study will be collected using two qualitative research methods: document analysis and semi–
structured interviews which were used to give a scholarly definition of the term "sustainable
adaptation to heritage sites and buildings" which is part of the objectives. The chapter also looks at
the qualitative analysis techniques which will be used to analyze the data.
3.2 Research approach
The difference between qualitative and quantitative research is basically a methodological issue and
the researcher's decision to choose a specific research approach should be based on its suitability to
answer the established research questions (Bryman, 1992). A qualitative approach according to
(Creswell, 2003) should be a logical subjective approach and should be able to describe experiences

Research Methodology For Research Methods Essay
Survey research methods are one of the most widely used research methods in education. This non–
experimental, quantitative research design is most often used to gather information about the
subject's attitude, beliefs, opinions, or similar types of information (McMillian & Schumacher,
2010). With this method, the researcher selects a sample of subjects and either administers a
questionnaire or conducts interviews to collect data from the subjects.
There are several benefits to using surveys in educational research. First of all, the researcher can
gather information from a small group of subjects (the sample), but apply the results to a larger
number of people (the population). Additionally, many educational researchers choose survey
methods because of the versatility, efficiency and generalizability that surveys provide (Schutt,
1996). Surveys are versatile, because they have been used in many different areas of educational
research. They are also very cost–efficient and, for the most part, do not require the time that most
other methods do. This makes them popular among researchers. As previously mentioned, the
researcher can gather data from a small group of subjects instead of the entire population, but
generalize the results to the population. This, in itself, is a huge benefit when sample generalizability
is a goal.
Important Considerations for Survey Research Design

This method includes the observer not being part of the group and just watching from a far distance.
The advantage of this method is that the observer may get some good data as they are observing
closely. Easier to record data as you are not participating, also it is very cheap and simple. However,
the disadvantages are that you may not get as much data as you are not a part of the discussions so
you may not get a lot of information as you would like. BOOKS: Books are in formation written
down by people. They can be written down as knowledge or real life stories. The advantages form
getting information and writing data from a book is that you will find out a lot of information that
you didn't already know. Also you will extend you knowledge by reading. However, the information
may not be accurate and could be false. Another weaknesses form getting information books is that
it is also quite time consuming looking for the answers and information when reading a book.
WEBSITES: This method is another way to get data from. Websites are also very good because they

So, the method section is used to explain all those techniques, tools that are discussed in those
research papers. Categorizing the various techniques, steps that are explained in the research paper
in a readable and understandable manner is called procedures. It can be better explained as the step
by step process of an experiment, how it was started and how the process follows. Some research
topics results in browsing for more related research papers which might be difficult to categorize. In
this situation, procedures helps to prioritize those information's of various research papers. Methods
and procedures are the significant part of the research paper.

the most mandatory part of a research paper and it is the core of the technical paper. And the result
section is the sensitive part of a technical paper because it is the area where the final outcome is
discussed. Some readers might scan the introduction and they will directly switch to results section
to view the outcome and if they are satisfied they might wish to read the full technical paper. Result

an elective do so for a variety of reasons. Some students plan on going into business in college or
are genuinely interested in personal finance. Some students are just taking the class because their
friends are taking it too or because their guidance counselors put them in the class to fill their

Research Methodology
Overview of the Research Methodology Action research is the most suitable process to use in order
to address this research problem. The researcher needs a solution that's reliable to use and
appropriate to administer in a classroom setting. The issue, although prevalent throughout the
district, is still unique in the parameters of this fourth grade class. It is not the goal of the researcher
to generalize their findings to a large population, but instead to meet the needs and weaknesses of a
single group of students with which the researcher interacts with regularly.
Proposed Research Design The researcher will use action research to collect both quantitative and
qualitative data. The main objective of this research is to positively affect students ability to solve
word–problems effectively and efficiently. Therefore, the quantitative data will measure their
growth from before and after intervention. The qualitative data will gather students' responses
regarding the benefits of using/reusing taught methods. In addressing the first research question
(How effective are language–focused techniques at improving 4th grade students' understanding of
math word problems?), empirical data will serve as evidence. To answer the second research

It is generally done in interviews, open–ended questions or focus groups. Generally, there is a small
number of participants that participate in this type of research because these type of research takes
time and need many resources. Interviews can vary from being highly structured and guided by
open–ended questions or be less structured and take the form of conversational interviews.
As there are few number of participants and as it costs so much for this type of research , the result
from a Qualitative Research cannot be generalized to the whole population. Nevertheless, these type
of research serves as a spring board for larger studies and deeper understanding that can inform
theory , practice and specific situations.

quantitative data are measurement in which numbers are used directly to represent the
characteristics of something, thus, the number related records lends itself to statistical analysis.
While qualitative data represents descriptions of things that are made without assigning numbers
directly. This method is architecture to facilitate better understanding of people, understand the
culture and social perspective of people (Myers, 2009). The following differences were emphasized

This research methodology is an action plan because the researcher is trying to create a
improvement plan in her own school. This will be working with at–risk and special education
students in the math classroom and ways to better serve those students using differentiated
instruction and technology to help lessen the educational gaps those students have and to raise MAP
scores.
Proposed Research Design
The proposed research plan will include two classrooms of at–risk and special education students
math classes. Incorporating technology and researched based instruction to help increase MAP
scores and student understanding. The instruments used will be pre– and post tests, MAP scores for
the year, informal daily bell ringer and teacher responses. This unit will take one quarter to complete
and will help in looking at further instruction in math for these students in years to come. Because of
the small sampling and that it is based in one school an action methodology is the best fit.

Research – Methodology And Ethics

  • 1. Research ‚Äì Methodology and Ethics RESEARCH – METHODOLOGY AND ETHICS This essay attempts to identify and sum up two research methods (Qualitative and Quantitative Research Methods), assess their relative strengths and weaknesses and explain how two ethical issues arise from research. Qualitative and Quantitative research approaches are two of the various methods used in sociological research. The use of these methods can be very important and can normally produce efficient, realistic and logical results. So what is qualitative research and what is quantitative research? To begin with, we look at the distinctions between the forms of research. Thus, on first consideration, the use of questionnaires as a research technique might be seen as a quantitative strategy, whereas ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Qualitative descriptions can play the important role of suggesting possible relationships, causes, effects and dynamic processes. Because statistics are not used, but rather qualitative research uses a more descriptive, narrative style, this research might be of particular benefit to the practitioner as she, or he could turn to qualitative reports in order to examine forms of knowledge that might otherwise be unavailable, thereby gaining new insight. Qualitative research adds flesh and blood to social analysis. Both qualitative and quantitative research methods have some similarities, for instance, whilst quantitative research may be mostly used for testing theory, it can also be used for exploring area and generating hypotheses and theory. Similarly qualitative research can be used for testing hypotheses and theories even though it is mostly used for theory generation. Qualitative data often includes quantification, e.g. statements such as more than, less than, most as well as specific numbers, quantitative, i.e. questionnaire approaches can collect qualitative data through open–ended questions. ETHICAL ISSUES IN QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH During the designing of questionnaires and the training of interviewers a number of ethical issues need to be taken into consideration. Respondents have a right to be informed about the nature and purposes of the study and how the information will be used prior to data collection. The issue of anonymity, ...

Science is a marvelous development in the history of human thought. The American Heritage Dictionary defines psychology as the science dealing with the mind, mental and emotional processes, and the science of human behavior. It defines science as systemized knowledge derived from observations and study. Scientific study is a way of understanding life and developing theories based on what is observed (Simonton, 2009). Psychologists develop theories and conduct psychological research to answer questions about behavior and mental processes that impact individuals and society. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Although quantitative research is an integral part of doing research; qualitative research explores the processes that underlie human behavior using interviews, surveys, case studies, and other personal techniques (Salkind, 2009). Its general purpose is to examine human behavior in the social, cultural, and political contexts in which they occur. Qualitative research can be powerful and appropriate non–experimental way to explore an academic question rigorously, as when additional context is needed to explain phenomenon missed by quantitative research methods. When properly performed, qualitative research projects add to the body of knowledge on their subjects and make the researcher well informed (Salkind, 2009). Qualitative research deals with descriptions and data that can be observed, but not measured. It explores items such as textures, colors, smells, tastes, and appearances and is obsessed with the quality of the item. Its goal is to describe the meaning, rather than drawing statistical inferences. What these experiments lose in reliability, they gain in terms of validity; providing a more in–depth and rich description. Quantitative research deals with numbers and data that can be measured. The length, height, speed, time, humidity, cost, age, weight, area and volume are the items quantitative research methods deal with. The quantity of the item is ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Surveys Another option available for research methodology entails the use of surveys for gathering insightful real time information. The use of surveys, researchers have the availability to develop and gather responses, which either support or disprove hypotheses. Humphrey (2012) administered surveys asking questions about leadership's impact on an organization's culture and climate focusing on transformational leadership tenets. This particular method allowed the researcher to develop and form hypotheses related to the study (Cooper & Schlinder, 2011). Walumbwa and Hartnell (2011) examined the correlation of leadership and employee performance through the method of a survey also involving transformational leadership and an underlying variance. While both research studies entailed sampling of a population through surveys, they each have varying degrees of advantages and disadvantages conducive to their use. The advantages of a survey include: Time– a quicker turnaround offering an opportunity to gather and analyze results Composition– allows for development of questions in relationship to the hypotheses Quantity– the desired amount for sampling, developing a baseline for expected return of surveys However, the disadvantages of surveys include: Distribution– must construct method for distribution ...

  • 17. Research Methodology : Research Project RESEARCH METHODOLOGY 1. RESEARCH PARADIGM Stating a knowledge claim means that researchers start a project with certain assumptions about how they will learn and what they will learn during their enquiry. These claims might be called as paradigms (Lincoln & Guba, 2000; Mertens, 1998); philosophical assumptions, epistemologies, and ontologies (Crotty, 1998); or broadly conceived research methodologies (Neuman, 2000). Philosophically, researchers make claims about what is knowledge (ontology), how we know it (epistemology), what values go into it (axiology), how we write about it (rhetoric), and the processes for studying it (methodology) (Creswell, 1994). The researcher brings to the choice of a research design assumptions about the knowledge in claims. In addition, operating at more applied level are strategires of inquiry or traditions of inquiry (Creswell, 1998) or methodologies (Mertens, 1998) that provide specific direction of procedures in research design.

Power point 11 If you are having trouble understanding this variable, you are exactly where you are supposed to be. Hopefully, my explanation will help you! A mediating variable explains the relationship between the two other variables. As an example, let's consider the relation between social class (SES) and frequency of breast self–exams (BSE). Age might be a moderator variable, in that the relation between SES and BSE could be stronger for older women and less strong or nonexistent for younger women. Education might be a mediator variable in that it explains why there is a relation between SES and BSE. When you remove the effect of education, the relation between SES and BSE disappears. Power point 12 While researchers will never state that one variable caused another variable to occur, as there are so many variables to consider in social science research. However, we do use the term 'causal relationship' or cause and effect relationship', where the cause has to precede the effect and the relationship cannot be explained by any other factors that are being considered.

It has an iterative style of eliciting and categorizing responses to questions. 3. With the help of qualitative research one can describe variations, relationships, individual experiences among groups and describe group norms. 4. As the set of questions can be open ended we can have a more comprehensive study about the subject. Interviews are not limited to particular questions and can be redirected or guided by researchers in real time. 5. Some aspects of the study are flexible. 6. The issues and subjects covered can be evaluated in depth and in detail. 7.

  • 26. Research Methodologies Research Methodologies In selecting a research methodology, researchers must approach the subject matter with consideration of that which is desired as a data outcome. In light of this, the most commonly used methodologies are quantitative, qualitative and mixed methods. The quantitative study is usually defined so as a result of a clearly delineated range of numerical scales, sets or representations designed to concretely define the findings of the resultant research. By its hypothesis and its methodology, this study will be required to employ a process which is geared toward empirically defensible findings. The determinism of numerical evaluation is widely considered less vulnerable to individual biases unless it can be deduced that such bias informed the composition of the equation methodology. Qualitative analysis essentially places a heavier demand upon the involvement of the researcher in designing the frame for data analysis and the manner in which this analysis is carried out. This means that the qualitative research must plumb through a considerable amount of research and data in order to whittle down observational findings to a set of relevant and useful resolutions. And indeed, after the processes of observation and information gathering, it can be both time–consuming and intellectually taxing to reduce these findings to the most meaningful and relevant indicators available. This difficulty is further intensified by the inherently complicated task of clearly ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Qualitative research on my paper would be the research that I found that on my topic from creditable sites that consisted of data with no numbers included. Kevin Browne stated, "There is continuing debate on the extent of the effects of media violence on children and young people, and how to investigate these effects. The aim of this review is to consider the research evidence from a public–health perspective. A search of published work revealed five meta–analytic reviews and one quasi–systematic review, all of which were from North America. There is consistent evidence that violent imagery in television, film and video, and computer games has substantial short–term effects on arousal, thoughts, and emotions, increasing the likelihood of aggressive or fearful behavior in younger children, especially in boys. The evidence becomes inconsistent when considering older children and teenagers, and long–term outcomes for all ages. The multifactorial nature of aggression is emphasized, together with the methodological difficulties of showing causation. Nevertheless, a small but significant association is shown ...

They are much cheaper than ethnography with a greater effectiveness, however, all of these interviews or surveys were based on the retrospective data, respondents answered the questions by their memory and the issue may happened for a long time. There could be a great influence on the quality of data since the ability of respondent to recall information differed from one to another and some incorrect information often occurred (Baker, 2003). The third approach considered in this study is the real–time experience tracking developed by MESH planning. This is an approach to record 360–degree touchpoints of brand by respondents in real time. There are three stages of data collection. The first stage uses the pre–online questionnaire to collect information about brand health and relationship quality. The third stage uses the same questions to ask respondents' perception after brand encounters in order to identify any change. While the second stage for data collection is the most crucial process in the approach. Respondents are asked to send SMS message to report any brand encounter via mobile phones. And the online diary also helped to expand these experiences (Willis et al 2010). Meanwhile, for identifying the CIs, weekly questionnaire will be sent to respondents about the CIs happened in the past week.

Finally, the data analysis and research limitations were looked at. . 3.2 Research design Research design constitutes the entire strategy for data collection including the specific data analysis techniques or methods the researcher intends to use. Three major approaches are mostly considered by researcher during research methodology. These are quantitative, qualitative or mixed approaches. However, Ghauri et al. (1995) maintained that quantitative and qualitative methods are two types of research methods mostly used by researchers. According to Bryman& Bell (2007), the quantitative method entails systematic empirical studies which involve quantifying through the assistance of mathematics and statistics. Data is collected and transformed into numbers which are empirically tested to see if a relationship can be found in order to be able to draw conclusions from the results gained. On the other hand, qualitative research does not rely on statistics or numbers rather qualitative research often refers to case studies where the collection of information can be received from a few studying objects.

Quantitative And Qualitative Research Methodology Quantitative and Qualitative Research Methodology Comparison Research, as defined by Merriam Webster, is "the activity of getting information about a subject" (Research, n.d.). When looking at the research process there are two main approaches for gathering information; qualitative and quantitative approaches. The qualitative approach focuses on describing information in a deep thought provoking manner. Adversely, the quantitative approach focuses on information from a larger number of people and applies statistical techniques to recognize patterns in the data ("Organizing," n.d.). In the educational setting, principals are the leaders of the school. Principals need to develop teachers, create a safe and productive work environment, and try to impact student achievement. Great principals search for new and inventive ways to make their school thrive. Research provides principals opportunities to better understand problems and changes in the school setting. Using research–based data, principals can help promote student and teacher success in the educational setting. Qualitative and Quantitative Research methods The article "Involving Young People in Changing Their School Environment to Make It Safer" draws upon qualitative research to explore the process of involving teachers and students in student action groups.

This non– experimental, quantitative research design is most often used to gather information about the subject's attitude, beliefs, opinions, or similar types of information (McMillian & Schumacher, 2010). With this method, the researcher selects a sample of subjects and either administers a questionnaire or conducts interviews to collect data from the subjects. There are several benefits to using surveys in educational research. First of all, the researcher can gather information from a small group of subjects (the sample), but apply the results to a larger number of people (the population). Additionally, many educational researchers choose survey methods because of the versatility, efficiency and generalizability that surveys provide (Schutt, 1996). Surveys are versatile, because they have been used in many different areas of educational research. They are also very cost–efficient and, for the most part, do not require the time that most other methods do. This makes them popular among researchers. As previously mentioned, the researcher can gather data from a small group of subjects instead of the entire population, but generalize the results to the population. This, in itself, is a huge benefit when sample generalizability is a goal.
