Research Methodology

Research Methodology is the process that is adopted to select, process and analyse

information about the research topic. It enables the reader to evaluate the validity of the

research by considering different research methods like qualitative, inductive approach,

primary or secondary research and thematic analysis (Alase, 2017).

Research Philosophy

Research philosophy is developed by the researcher to sort the research problems as how it

should be analysed. It is one of the ways to collect as well as analyse the data to solve the

research problem. There are different types of research philosophy like positivism research

philosophy, pragmatism research philosophy, realism research philosophy. For conducting

the research study, the interpretivism research philosophy is used by the researcher. It is

because interpretivism research philosophy rely on the basis of principle which states that

researcher performs role in observing the social world (Mohajan, 2018). This research

philosophy is defined as the philosophy where the participant response in the practical

research is used to arrive at the outcomes. This kind of philosophy is focused on the beliefs

and opinions of human beings within the research study. It has been determined that through

the application of this research the responses are valid and close to the truth.

Research Approach

Research approach is one of the ways that helps in sorting out the problem. There are

different types of research approach such as inductive approach and deductive approach. For

conducting this qualitative research study, the researcher has adopted inductive research

approach. Inductive research is the approach where the new data is collected from the field

that aids in developing theories and solving research problems. At the same time, this kind of

approach does not need any kind of hypothesis formulation within the research study
 3

(Hammarberg, Kirkman, and de Lacey, 2016). The inductive approach is adopted because it

is one of the downward process of thoughts and leads to useful outcomes. This kind of

approach is less time consuming. This is also the kind of approach that would help the

researcher to enable more time for practice and application. Apart from this, it has been

determined that inductive approach would be quite effective for the research outcomes.

Types of Research Method

There are different types of research method such as qualitative and quantitative. For

conducting this research, the researcher has adopted qualitative research. It is defined as the

research which focuses on the qualitative data which is relevant to the research problem. The

reason of selecting this type of research method because it is in the form of attitudes, beliefs,

opinions etc. This is one of the kinds of research depend on the participant views in the

research study (Fletcher, 2017). It is the types of subjective research that showcase the

problem of research. This is the research method that measures the attitudes and participants

perceptions. In this type of research method there is no statistical test for the kind of research

to analyse the information. It has been determined that through the use of qualitative

information that focus on the in-depth interview as well as survey. These are the basic

reasons of selecting the qualitative research method for conducting the research study.

Data Collection

Data collection is the process of collecting data from the large number of populations. It

comprises of two types of data collection that include primary and secondary data collection.

For conducting this research study, the researcher has selected secondary data collection

method. It is defined as the second-hand data that is collected by the researcher through the

use of secondary sources like articles, journals etc (Tuffour, 2017). This data collection

method is selected because this helps in attaining the theoretical knowledge for the qualitative

research study. It has been depicted that this helps in attaining the secondary sources and
 4

attaining the positive outcomes. This method showcase proper outcomes and effective data

collection as there is the used of secondary sources. It depicts the information attainment in

an effective manner.
