Research Framework and Methodology .pptx Situation Analysis.AnaLyn523989
The research framework and Methodology, These two elements serve as the backbone of study, guiding its design and execution, and ultimately determining its validity and reliability.
The Research framework, also known as theoretical or conceptual framework, provides the overall direction for the study. It outlines the key concept, theories, or ideas that that underpin the research, and maps the research, and maps out how these are related to each other. it provides a lens through which the researcher views the world and shapes the questions they ask, the data they collect, and how they interpret this data.
On the other hand, the research Methodology, refers to the specific procedures or techniques used to identify, select the process, and analyze information. It includes the research design, the sampling method, the data collection technique, and the statistical tools used for data analysis. The methodology ensures that the research is conducted in a systematic, logical, and unbiased manner.
Together, the research framework and methodology form the blueprint of the research. they ensure that the study is grounded in existing knowledge, follows a clear and coherent structure, and employs rigorous and appropriate methods.
As we delve deeper into these topics, we will explore their importance in ensuring the quality and integrity of research, discuss various types of research frameworks and methodologies, and provide practical tips for developing your own. Whether you are a seasoned researcher or a beginner, understanding these elements is key to conducting effective and impactful research.
What are some common research designs used in research methodology?
Research design is a critical aspect Research methodology as it provides the overall structure for the procedure the researcher follows.
Experimental Design, This design is commonly used in scientific research where the researcher manipulates one variable and observe the effect on another variable. It is typically used to establish cause and effect relationship.
Quasi Experimental Design, Similar to the experiment design, but lacks of elements of random assignment. It's often used when it's not practical or ethical to conduct a fully controlled experiment.
Descriptive design, This involves gathering detailed information about specific phenomenon or behavior without manipulating any variables. Surveys, case study, and observational research fall into category.
Correlational Design, This used to study the relationship between two or more variables without manipulating any of them. It can reveal patterns of association, but it does not establish causation.
Longitudinal Design, In this design, researchers conduct several observations of the same subjects over period of time, sometimes lasting many years
Cross sectional design, This involves looking at different groups of people who differ in one key characteristic at one specific point in time
Remember, the choice research design depends on the res
