Methodology Chapter

Research paradigms, interpretivist, positivist, qualitative, quantitative .. it’s no wonder many students find writing the methodology chapter confusing especially if English is not your first language.

The methodology chapter is the framework on which you will build your study, if it not strong enough your whole study might collapse. Here are the normal headings you will find in this chapter.

Research Paradigm: the underlying philosophy and approach that is underpinning your study

Method (Why did you chose it? What theory, values, ethics, or knowledge informs the choice? Did you consider any other method?)

-interview (open, closed)

-survey

-ethnography

-case study

-content analysis

-story telling

- mixed method approach (triangulation)

Research Design

Ethical considerations

Data Analysis – how will you analyse the data you have collected

Significance of the research

Limitations of the research

In the field – what happened when carrying out the research in setting
