How do you choose a research methodology?

- Using qualitative research works better if you wish to understand something (concepts, thoughts, experiences)
What is the importance of research methodology?
The study of research methodology provides us the necessary training in choosing methods, materials, scientific tools and training in techniques relevant for the problem chosen. Assignment: (1) List out at least 10 methods which you have learned in your UG and PG courses and write their purpose or application.
How do you identify a methodology?
The methodology section or methods section tells you how the author(s) went about doing their research. It should let you know a) what method they used to gather data (survey, interviews, experiments, etc.), why they chose this method, and what the limitations are to this method.
What did I find out in quantitative research?
Quantitative research deals in numbers, logic, and an objective stance. Quantitative research focuses on numeric and unchanging data and detailed, convergent reasoning rather than divergent reasoning [i.e., the generation of a variety of ideas about a research problem in a spontaneous, free-flowing manner].
What are quantitative and qualitative tools?
Common quantitative methods include experiments, observations recorded as numbers, and surveys with closed-ended questions. Common qualitative methods include interviews with open-ended questions, observations described in words, and literature reviews that explore concepts and theories.
What is the advantage of quantitative research?
Quantitative Research Pros: Larger sample: A broader study can be made, involving more subjects and enabling more generalization of results. Objectivity and accuracy: Few variables are involved as data relates to close-ended information.
