Research Methodology
Choosing a Research Topic
You must ask yourself the following questions:
- What are you going to investigate?
- How will you conduct the research?
- Why is it important to investigate this issue?
- What elements are part of choosing a research topic?
Understanding the Issue
The issue is resolved through scientific procedures. The beginning of the investigation is the problem.
The Problem
A crisp and direct relationship between two or more variables in the problem, which can be tested empirically and can find an answer.
Research Topic
A list of local, national, etc. problems, and thus deduce.
Approach to Research Problems
Minimizing defects and fundamental relationships. There are three aspects: description, elements, and formulation of the problem.
Description of the Research Problem
To describe an objective reality of the problem. It identifies all the characteristics of the problem, facts, and events.
A Complete Statement of the Problem
Includes all the facts, relationships, and explanations that are important in research.
Developing the Approach to the Problem
It is conveniently located in a geopolitical context.
Elements of Problem Description
Background, facts and events, and item characteristics and context.
Formulation
Identify all the elements, aspects, and features in an understandable form accurately.
Conceptual Division Process of the Problem
This is to fix the main idea, the basic assumptions underpinning the initial argument in relation to the problem. The end of the recommended approach is to write some questions: What? When? Why? Who? Where? With what? How? Why? How much?
Justification of the Research Problem
Reasons and motives for which the research is to be conducted. Support with convincing arguments, why and what is done.
Interest Rates
Personal, institutional, and political rights. Reasons why you are interested.
Research Objectives
Allow to predict, explain, and describe phenomena and acquire knowledge of the phenomena studied. Purpose of research, reference.
Clear and Precise Objectives
To understand and develop, deepen, and implement. Know the scope and limitations; you must have consistency. Pose a general goal that should be broader than any of the specific aims (which is being studied). Infinitive verbs are used unconjugated.
Formulation of Hypothesis
Precise guides that guide the researcher to check the problems being investigated, arising from the development of the approach. They are made according to criteria that allow them to be useful in the research process. A tool to help sort, organize, and synthesize the recognition by a proposition.
Hypo “under” thesis “assumption.” An assumption that establishes relationships between events or phenomena, using two or more variables and missing checks.
Must be clear. Composed of variables (attributes that are measured in the assumptions or they can be operational concepts, qualities, or characteristics).
Scientific Hypothesis
We must follow a set of rules, part of scientific research.
Give the Essence
The definition should give the essence of what it attempts to define, i.e., its nature, its limits.
Avoid Tautologies
You should not directly or indirectly contain the target.
The Purpose of Scientific Work
Is to discover their existence and magnitude as well as test the relationships that bind them together.
Independent Variables
Elements or factors that explain a scientific phenomenon (cause or background).
Dependent Variables
Effects or results of attempts to investigate a phenomenon (effect or result).
The object determines the variables studied.
Theoretical Framework
A set of theoretical principles that guide research, establishing relevant units for each. (Theoretical framework, conceptual frameworks, conceptual framework, and the framework).
It is the section that includes the exclusive theoretical framework on which a research topic is supported in a logical manner, where their conceptual elements are inherent in the theory(s) under consideration.
Tamayo y Tamayo Said That it Fulfills the Following Functions:
- Delimitation of the research.
- Suggest research guides.
- Summarize existing knowledge.
- Express general theoretical propositions, principles, and laws.
The Theoretical Framework
It is a conceptual methodological tool that is built on the basis of relevant information to the research, more precisely with the theories that supported other research.
The Methodology
A general procedure to obtain a more precise target of the investigation.
