This chapter outlines an overview of the research approach adopted in the study as well as the research methodology and the practical approach adopted to achieve the set objectives of the study. In addition, it also highlights the data collection methods, ethical considerations, and data analysis. Case studies will be used as a research strategy as they are distinguished by their ability to investigate a phenomenon which, in this case, will be the upgrading heritage buildings through sustainable
CHAPTER THREE: 3. Research Methodology 3.1. Introduction 3.2. Research Approach This section highlights the main research approaches in depth, along with their associated methods. After reviewing these methodologies in details, this section will end by selecting the most suitable approach for this research. 3.4. Quantitative Approach A quantitative research could be defined as a process that is formal, systematic and objective, where numerical data are used to gather information about something
3. Research Methodology In order to address the objectives set out in this research, a quantitative research approach has been employed and follows models developed by Tinbergen (1962), MacCullum (1995), Andrew (2002), and Augustin and Tawah (2012). The study is designed in such a way that it doesn’t take the entire model developed by any one of these scholars, instead it adopts those variables which are appropraite to the situation under investigatation and adds some relevant explanatory variables
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
Methodology For describing the research design of the thesis, this chapter aims to explain the methodology and epistemological approach of my research, to provide the detailed outline of research design and research process, to address the ethical issues involved in the fieldwork, and to reflect the limitations. 1. Methodological approach The methodological approach of this study is guided by its aims and research questions. This section starts from the clarification of research questions to explain
Research Methodology 3.1 Introduction Methodology is a scientific and systematic approach for relevant information on a specific topic. Suitable and correct usage of methodologies determines the consistency of success of any research. Bryman (2008) and Ethridge (2004) suggest that methodology used in conducting a research ascertains the objectives of the research. The collection of data, structuring and analyzing the results or findings needs proper usage of techniques and methodology. This chapter
INTRODUCTION Research methodologies are the essential part in doing research and it had been discussed in many past studies in order to give more understanding toward this issue. It can be divided into few parts which are quantitative research, qualitative research and mixed method research. However, among these research methods it cannot be stated which methods are the most comprehensive because each methods have their own value in research. This task trying to give full view of qualitative research and
management systems has rendered the waterfall system obsolete. As a result, organizations that still use the waterfall system may not be as competitive as other that use the new technologies, such as the agile project management tool. Statement of Research Problem The current situation, especially in software development projects, is such that the agile model has found applications. However, there are confusions as to whether the agile project management model is any different from the traditional
and affective, as well as behavioural components. Existing sports fan research utilises either strong qualitative, or more often, strong quantitative methodologies. The strengths and weaknesses of each approach are outlined, developing the argument that the use of a single methodology often fails to explore all of these components. The use of a mixed methods approach is suggested to counteract this weakness and to enhance research into the sports fan. Introduction Although interest in the sports
following chapter details the approach used in creating the methodology used to test the hypothesis. The core aspects of the research design are discussed along with an explanation of the multi-modal evaluation techniques and why they are required. The research strategy is presented, outlining a design based research approach. The various elements of the methodology and the gamified learning profile we generate through its usage are explained. Issues of undertaking research of this nature are discussed
