Introduction Research is process of finding solution to an identified problem or opportunity through systematic investigation and study. There are seven steps involved in research process. There are many different types of research and the descriptive research is a very powerful methodology to obtain desire outcomes. Descriptive methodology is in which there is no manipulation of research environment. The questionnaire technique is used to collect data and is able to provide a good result. 1. Question
Cooper & Schindler (2003) identified that two broad research methods are often used across various studies for logical reasoning. Two broad categories of research approaches are deductive approach and inductive approach. Research approach is usually selected by the researcher depending upon the nature of study and its specific requirements. In an inductive approach, the researcher first begins to collect relevant in accordance to the study under discussion. Once a substantial amount of data in the
Research Methods Newman, Ridenor, Newman, and DeMarco suggest that when the purpose of the research is complex, it is necessary to have multiple questions which frequently necessitate the use of mixed methods. Mixed methods have the potential to contribute to addressing multiple purposes and thus to meeting the needs of multiple audiences for the results (Newman, et al., 2002 as cited in Mertens & McLaughlin, 2004). A mixed method design is one in which both quantitative and qualitative methods
Section III. Choice of Research Method: Quantitative, Qualitative or Mixed? The selection of data analysis techniques to deal with research questions or hypotheses and the techniques chosen for the data collection is informed and guided by what we call the research method. Hence, research method is a procedure, and also the analytical techniques to be chosen and the methods to be chosen will also be dictated by the choices of the methodologies made and by the theoretical framework (Sumner and Tribe
Two different research methods are there which includes qualitative and quantitative in order to analyse the aim and objectives of the research study. Qualitative research method makes use of exploratory research by understanding the opinions, reasons and motivations related to the study. It involves creation of idea based on which quantitative research is conducted. This research method makes use of content and previous researches in order to elaborate the context of the topic. While on the other

This study used a qualitative approach based on the Qualitative Research method. The main objective of qualitative research is to examine the individual’s whole experience, not simply looking at specific parts. It is commonly used to understand people's experience and to express their perspectives. In this method of research the researcher generates or constructs knowledge, hypotheses, and grounded theory from data collecting during field work' (Johnson & Christensen, 2012). It studies groups and
This chapter explains how and why different research methods are selected by the author. The author has made logical justification of different research methodology techniques in accordance with the aim and objectives of the research. Research methodology helps the researcher to get a systematic solution of the research problems. Kumar (2008) mentioned research methodology as the science of conducting research. Cottrell and McKenzie (2011) argued good research should be followed by the well-established
CHAPTER 3: RESEARCH METHODOLOGY 3.1 Introduction In this chapter the research methodology used in the study is described. The main purpose of this research is to study the effectiveness of bus priority lanes in the city of Kuala Lumpur. This research will be conducted at Jalan Raja Laut, Kuala Lumpur area. The researcher wanted to know whether the bus priority lanes are fully utilized by public bus or wasting the precious road space due to under-utilized as the purposes of the research is done.
The scientific method is an approach used by psychologists and researchers who want to have a systematic and objective way of recording and understanding behaviour and any other topic that may be of interest. It is comprised of four main steps that will be discussed below, along with my example research situation. Before a researcher can dive into doing research, s/he must identify a question of interest. The researcher might make an observation of some strange phenomena or even everyday behaviour
this research study I had to consider the selection of the preferred method of data collection has a purpose. To evaluate a research study to gain in-depth information, regardless the method style of data collection. The choice of collecting the data depends largely on the question which the researcher wishes to obtain information. However each method has its particular strength and weakness, therefore when researcher chooses a research method, researcher need to use the most appropriate method that
1. NURSING RESEARCH Research is a detailed study into a particular problem, issue or concern using scientific method. It could also be defined as gathering information usually to answer a particular question or problem. Nursing research is a systematic study that provides evidence used to support nursing practices. Nursing, being an evidence based practice, has been developing since the time of Florence Nightingale till date, where nurses now work as a researchers and as well as in clinical setting
This research project will use mixed research methods in order to obtain qualitative and quantitative data. The qualitative data will be acquired through the review of literature as well as the analysis of other sources so that one can understand what previous research was done on the topic and how to formulate a response to the hypothesis from one’s own discoveries as well as other research sources. The primary research is found through quantitative data, which will be attained from an experiment
Research is an academic activity as such the term should be used in a real-world sense. Research methodology is a way to systemically answer the research problem, it may be understood as a science of studying how research is done scientifically. According to Clifford woody research comprises defining and redefine problems, formulating hypothesis or suggesting solutions, collecting and evaluating data, making deductions and reaching conclusions. The determination of research is to discover answers
4.2 Stage one: Research Objective 4.2.1 Objectives The first step is that decide the objectives, the main purpose of this stage is to define the problem what researcher has. The researcher needs to know the question what the problem is, what answer is necessary for the question, and what information need be required to manage for the answer. Problem: How do luxury brands influence customers’ purchasing behavior? 4.2.2 Research Objective 1 The first step is that decide the objectives, the main
objectives framed for the study determines the method for collecting the required data. The method adopted should be in tune with scientific principles and adequate enough to provide valid generalisations. The study involves collection of data from a large representative sample. In educational research, Survey method is the application and adaption of the classical method. The research concept points out that normative survey is normally used in the type of research which intends to discover the normal or
A qualitative method was used to gather data. The interviewer developed a qualitative interview questionnaire that consisted of structured interviews aimed at generating qualitative data. This data, known as descriptive data, are the values of which cannot be measured numerically but can be distinguished by classifying into sets. After collection, the data was consolidated, interpreted and analysed. Data and information will be presented using point themes to allow users have a reliable presentation
be conducted using a quantitative method. This method is practiced survey types of data collection. There are various types of surveys such as telephone survey, mail survey or internet survey that's being used by researchers to collect data from the respondents. This study will use descriptive survey to collect the data, which will ask the participants to answer questions administered through questionnaires. This survey will conduct with a method of face to face in distributing the
Communication Research Method Introduction There is a perception that quantitative research is much trusted because it is claimed to be systematic. But what is quantitative research? Quantitative research is explaining phenomena by collecting numerical data that are analysed using mathematically based methods. Quantitative research also refers to social research that employs both empirical methods and empirical statements. (Cohen, 1980) He says that an empirical statement is defined as a descriptive
Qualitative research is a type of research that looking for the answers of a question or provides the understanding of human experience. It is conducted systematically and the answers have to be proven by evidence and data collected. The qualitative research is unique as the researchers may produce finding that’s were not determined in advance and it may be applicable beyond immediate boundaries of the study. This type of research method is effective for the researchers to find out the specific information
