Qualitative Research Design: Qualitative research is a formative method of research that is preferred by many researchers as allows the researcher to use several techniques to gather information by seeking answers to research questions. Merriam (2005) stated, “Qualitative research is interested in how meaning is constructed, how people make sense of their lives and their worlds. The primary goal of a basic qualitative study is to uncover and interpret these meanings” (p. 24).Qualitative research
Methodology: In this chapter, the research methods commonly employed in social sciences, namely, qualitative, quantitative and mixed methods will first be discussed. I shall then describe my own research design, including the philosophical approach I adopted. This approach will be explained by identifying the ontological and epistemological standpoints assumed. The research strategy will be clarified, and the sampling procedures and participants of the study will be described. The processes of data
naming whenever a new comet, creature, or phenomenon is observed. New theories are also given names because God entrusted human beings with the power of classification and naming, since God bestowed that gift on Adam. It would be impossible to do science without first being able to name objects and identify phenomenon. Genesis 6:12 - 22 1.Describe how Noah demonstrated the use of the concept of measurement? In Genesis 6:12-22, God instructs Noah on how to built the ark, and even tells him why it
Chapter II Review of Related Literature and Studies Related Literature The Related Literature are statements taken from science books, journals, magazines, newspapers and any documents from authorized scientists, Science experts or well-known Science agencies. These statements can support your study through their concepts, theories, principles and laws. Footnoting is important on this part. Related Studies The Related Studies are
reality as observable and external so that they are interested in conducting research which is based on measurement or calculation. Therefore, it is the ontological and epistemological beliefs that usually drive the methodological preferences, but what helps the researchers make their final decisions about research methods is the guiding research question(s). Sechrest and Sidani (1995) point out the commonality that both methodologies “describe their data, construct explanatory arguments form their
Fundamentals of Research Methodology Monique Vann PSYCH 540 March 24, 2013 Jeanne Henry, Ph.D. Fundamentals of Research Methodology This paper will explore the fundamentals of research methodology in the Psychology field and discuss the importance of psychology. The answers to these questions are the basis for the theories that led to research. Research is the groundwork performed by Psychologists in order to answer questions about behavior and the mind. The outcome of the research will
qualitative research techniques, methods, approaches, concepts or language are combined into a single study. A growing body of literature debates the philosophy behind using mixed methods and reports the findings of studies conducted using mixed methods designs [2].Despite some paradigm wars between qualitative and quantitative research (discussed by Nudzor[3] and Andrew [2]), mixed methods research (MMR) is commonly known as valuable method of addressing the deficits behind the qualitative and quantitative
CHAPTER 3 RESEARCH METHODOLOGY 1. Introduction Business research is considered as a truth seeking function that collects, analyses and reports information which enables decision makers to become more effective in their decision making (Alvesson and Deetz, 2000). Conducting primary research is inevitable as far as the aim of this research is concerned. However it is vital that the right kind of methodology be adopted which helps the researcher to achieve the research aim properly. In the selection

It is widely recognised that conducting violent research against moral is a crime, such as the experiments at the Nazi camp. However, it is a controversy on how to treat the results from these unethical researches. In my point of view, the results are separate from the moral obligations to the researcher, although the suffering and rights should be seriously respected. The results from unethical researches should be accessible to the public due to its value and validity, but should also be published
