 Concept Notes

The Methodology
Research methodology
 is a systematic way to solve a problem.
 It is a science of studying how research is to be carried out.
 the procedures by which researchers go about their work of describing, explaining and
predicting phenomena are called research methodology.
 It is also defined as the study of methods by which knowledge is gained.
 Its aim is to give the work plan of research (Rajasekar at al., 2013).
 This part of the research paper explains the procedure in collecting and analyzing data
and also describes the sources of data. (Baraceros, 2016).

In writing the Methodology, your group needs consider the following:

1. Using the given outline and guidelines, write your Methodology. Make sure that you
accurately paraphrase, summarize, or directly quote the information you have taken
from your sources. These sources should be cited properly.
2. Be sure that your references are taken from reliable sources.
3. The methodology section should generally be written in the past tense.
4. The methodology chapter explains what you did and how you did it, allowing
readers to evaluate the reliability and validity of the research. It should include:
i. The type of research you did
ii. How you collected your data
iii. How you analyzed your data
iv. Any tools or materials you used in the research
v. Your rationale for choosing these methods

Spacing -double-spaced, Font - Times New Roman Font size - 12.
Margin- one-inch margin (top, bottom, right side), one and one-half inch margin
