Study Notes
Methodology of a scientific research: Chapter 1
-
Specific Objectives: At the end of this chapter, students will be able to define methodology, scientific research, different types of scientific research and distinguish between these types.
-
Methodology Definition: "Methodology" comes from the Latin word "Logos," meaning "speech, investigation, and interpretation."
-
It is the science of a method, the systematic and scientific approach to research.
-
Research Methodology: It describes techniques and procedures for identifying and analyzing information on specific research topics.
-
Key elements often included in a research methodology comprise the type of research, data collection and analysis, tools, and materials used, and the mitigation of potential research biases.
-
Note: Research methodologies are typically developed after the approval of a research proposal and before actual research.
Introduction to the module
- Specific Objectives: Students will be able to define methodology, define scientific research, identify types of scientific research, and distinguish between these types.
Definition of scientific research
- A scientific research is a process used by scientists to investigate phenomena.
- Scientists use different methods and techniques to gain new knowledge.
- Scientific research aims to validate or expand existing knowledge.
Classification of scientific research
-
Data collection techniques: Research can be observational (observing without interfering) or experimental (interfering and observing changes).
-
Causality relationships: Research can be descriptive (describing what is happening) or analytical (explaining why changes are occurring).
-
Time relationships: Studies can be focused on a single point in time (cross-sectional) or repeated over a period (longitudinal).
Additional topics
- Clinical scientific research often takes place in clinics.
- Medical records are a common source while studying a particular theme.
- Laboratory scientific research takes place in labs.
- Social descriptive research examines norms, values, and beliefs in a culture.
- Homework: Students are asked to classify different studies based on type.
