Methodology

The section of a research paper explaining data collection and analysis procedures, including data sources.

IMRaD Format

IMRaD is a common structure for scientific papers: Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion.

Standard Methods

Key elements should be adopted from proven, standardized methods, with proper citation. Changes should be specified.

Invention Method Writing

Explain simplification or innovation when writing methods for an invention. New processes should show inventive steps.

Study Notes

  • This learning material is a product of collaborative efforts from the Schools Division of Iloilo and DepEd Regional Office VI - Western Visayas.
  • The development of this resource is to guide learning facilitators and help learners meet K to 12 standards.
  • This resource aims to guide learners in completing activities at their own pace using community resources and improve lifelong learning skills for employment.
  • The Capstone Research Activity Sheet helps facilitators conduct learning activities specified in MELC with minimal face-to-face interaction.
  • This resource helps students continue learning outside of school by providing meaningful activities for independent learning.
  • Students should carefully read and understand the instructions before performing the activities and assessments, which will be returned to the facilitator.

Methodology

  • The methodology section explains the data collection and analysis procedures and describes the data sources in a research paper.
  • The IMRAD format is used as a structure in scientific papers, where "Methodology" becomes "Materials and Methods".
  • Key element in writing a comprehensive methodology/materials and methods is adoption of proven standard methods that are cited.
  • Changes to standardized methods should be specified.
  • Novel invention processes or methods should be highlighted to demonstrate innovative steps.

Components of Materials and Methods Section

  • Biology relates to collection/identification of specimen, extraction, preparation, biosafety, testing and data analytics and disposal.
  • Invention relates to planning/design, collection/construction, device testing and data analytics.
  • Descriptive research design includes purpose, sample and sampling construction, data gathering, collection and construction and testing.

Example of Data Tabulation

  • Table 4.1 illustrates antibacterial activity of Origanum vulgare crude methanolic extract on: Staphyloccoccus aureus.
  • It includes treatments, number of samples (n), and the mean ± SD of the zone of inhibition diameter in mm.
