Study Notes

Research Methodology

The main focus of the Research Methodology chapter in a research paper is to describe the approach, methods, and procedures used to collect and analyze data.

Types of Studies

Phenomenological Study: explores the lived-experiences of participants during an event or activity to understand their perceptions and meanings.
Ethnographic Study: aims to learn and describe the culture, norms, and behaviors of a group or community.
Case Study: provides an in-depth look at a specific case or situation to gain detailed insights and understanding.
Grounded Theory: primarily uses coding and memoing to build a theory based on data.

Qualitative Research Methods

Historical Method: focuses on analyzing historical data and documents to understand past events and their significance.
Discourse Analysis: aims to analyze language and communication to understand social constructs and power dynamics.

Sampling Techniques

Purposive Sampling: involves non-random selection based on convenience or other criteria.
Criterion-Based Sampling: usually used where inclusion criteria is set before choosing a participant.

Data Analysis

The most commonly used process in analyzing qualitative data is coding and theme identification.

Research Instruments

The primary purpose of a research instrument is to collect data.
A questionnaire typically consists of a set of questions designed to collect data from participants.
Open-ended, long-form questions in a questionnaire allow participants to provide detailed and rich responses.
Data collected from a data collection questionnaire can be qualitative or quantitative in nature.
