Research methodology refers to the specific strategies and techniques used to conduct research. This process involves choosing a topic, formulating a question, and deciding how to gather information. Researchers might use surveys, experiments, or observations to collect data. For example, if a student wants to find out how different study habits affect test scores, they could survey classmates about their habits and compare the results with their scores. This way, they can see if there’s a pattern. The methodology also includes analyzing the data and drawing conclusions. This structured approach helps ensure that the research is reliable and valid, meaning that it accurately reflects what is being studied. By using a clear methodology, researchers can share their findings and help others understand the topic better.
