Structuring the Method Chapter

Posted on February 7, 2015by Cikgu UmmI

While it is often referred to Chapter 3, a method chapter for a quantitative study could be written in
Chapter 4 for a developmental study where methods for development are discussed in Chapter 3 while
Evaluation of the product method are discussed in Chapter 4. Both chapters can also be included in one
chapter with two division. Chapter 3 division I is for Methods of the Media Development while Chapter 3
division II is for Methods of the Media/Program Evaluation. An example of contents to be included in the
method chapter would be as follows:
