RESEARCH
METHODOLOGY
 RESEARCH DESIGN
This section describes the specific
research approach you will use in the

study, historical, phenomenological, and
the like. The research design is
dependent on the purpose of the study
and the set of specific research
questions you have formulated.
 RESEARCH LOCALE

description of the setting is very
important in a qualitative research
since the setting or context may
have an effect or impact on the
behavior of the respondents.
 SAMPLE OR THE

the study. The description may include
the demographic profile of the
respondents such as age, educational
background, occupation, and other
information, that may be relevant in
understanding the (behavior of the)
respondents.

instruments you will use in the
study such as interview questions,
interview protocols, observation
guide, survey form, focus group
discussion questions, and others.
DATA COLLECTION PROCEDURE

undergo in order to collect the data for your study.
In some types of research, particularly
ethnographic and case studies, the specific date
(and sometimes, exact time) of doing the steps
(i.c.. observing the participants) are important. The
instruments used to record data (e.g., pen and
paper, audio and/or video recorder) may also be
mentioned.
