Research Methodology

Research is one way to nurture our critical thinking and analytical skills. It gives a gateway to explore and expand our knowledge in the chosen discipline(s) through the development of scientific theories and concepts. To obtain a reliable research outcome, it is important to follow a standardized approach to conducting experiments. Research Methodology is a way of methodically solving a research problem. The research design for the research problem characterizes the blueprint of the research which integrates the different components of the study in a structured and logical way. The study of research methodology guides us to choose appropriate methods, techniques, tools, and materials for the chosen research problem.

This module aims to provide students with in-depth knowledge of research methodologies with a focus on the significance of the research, different types of research, steps carried out in performing different research work - Defining research problems; Literature Review, Research methods; Writing Reports, Thesis, Research Proposals, Scientific Papers, etc. Upon completion of this module, the students should be able to understand the importance of research, develop and articulate research questions that are related to the purpose of the study, to identify and develop research problems.
