Part: Methodology
Task description
In this task, you will write the Methodology chapter (typically Chapter 3) of your research report. This outlines what you intend to do (research design) and how you intend to do it (procedures and methods), building directly on your previous chapters. The description must be precise enough for another researcher to replicate your proposed study. For guidance on research methods, refer to Real Reseach Methodology.
What you must include
Your Methodology must:
Specify your research design (for example, experimental, correlational, descriptive, qualitative, quantitative, or mixed methods).
Detail the specific methods for data collection (for example, survey, experiment, interviews, simulation) and analysis (for example, statistical tests, thematic analysis).
Justify why these methods suit your research question, problem, and context.
Describe procedures step-by-step, including sampling, instruments/tools, data handling, and validity/reliability measures.
Address any ethical considerations, limitations, or potential biases specific to your methods. Where quantitative approaches are used, you may review Quantitative Research Techniques for additional context.
We will discuss research methodologies and chapter structure in class, with examples provided. Follow the suggested guidelines in "Research Report_Methodology Template File".
Length and format
Word count: 1,500 - 2,000 words (excludes references, tables, figures).
Use clear headings/subheadings (for example, Research Design, Data Collection, Data Analysis).
Include tables/figures if helpful (for example, flowchart of procedures; not counted in word limit).
Use IEEE referencing style for any methodological sources cited.
