This chapter outlines the methodology used in a research project or thesis. It should describe the purpose, objectives, operational framework as a flowchart, type of research (e.g. descriptive, experimental), design (e.g. survey, case study), population, sampling technique, data gathering procedures, instrument validation, and data analysis procedures in enough detail that another researcher could replicate the study. The level of detail and specific elements covered may vary depending on the type of research or project.

Wu Jiajin is a Sr User Experience Consultant at Objective Asia
At the UXID2014 conference, she made a workshop about how to do a UX research. Here is what she said about the workshop:
"Empathising with the people who use your products is critical in UX Design. You must get to know your users intimately and Jiajin will review lots of ways to do that:
1. Types of user research and choosing what methods to deploy
2. When to do usability testing in your design process
3. Getting user research done quickly in Agile projects."

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
2. Chapter Overview
• Chapter III is your thesis or project
“recipe”.
• You describe the steps you took to conduct
your research or designed your project.
• How detailed should it be?
• The reader should have enough
information that he/she could replicate
your research with the same or similar
population and arrive at the same results.
3. Re-Introduce the Reader
• What is it again you are doing?
– Purpose statement
– Objective
– A paragraph or two.
• If the reader is interested in your
methodology, he/she does not have to go
back and forth through Chapter I to revisit
the purpose and objectives.
4. Operational Framework
• A visual representation of your steps to
complete your research.
• Construct a flow-chart with labels.
• Make it a “figure” for your document.
• Follow APA style for formatting a “figure”.
• Be sure to have a narrative of your
Operational Framework.
• Tell the reader what occurs at each step.
5. Methodology

• Design
• Population
• Sample & sampling
• Data gathering procedure
• Data analysis procedure

same?
– Is there inter-item reliability?
16. Population
• Describe the subjects of your study.
• What characteristics do they share that
includes them in your population of
interest?
• Will you include all members of the
population in your study? (Census).

17. Sampling
• Is the size of our population so big that a census
is too costly, or will take too much time?
• Sample the population
– Random
– Stratification
– Proportional
– Clusters
– Purposive
• Sample must be representative of the population
18. Response Rate
• How many participants responded to your
survey?
– Early vs late respondents
