Methodology
Research methodology is a way to systematic solve the research problem or to study. It may be
understood as a science of studying how research is done scientifically. In it, we study the

methods but also the methodology.
We can say that research methodology has many dimensions and research do continuous a part
of the research methodology. Thus, when we talk of research methodology we not only talk of
research methods but also consider the logic behind the methods we use in the context of our
research study and explain why we are using the particular method or technique and why we are
not using other so that research result are capable of being evaluated either by the researcher
himself or by others.
Research:
Research in common parlance refers to search for knowledge. It is a scientific and systematic
search for penitent information on a specific topic. In fact, research is an art of science
investigation. The advanced Lerner’s dictionary of current English lags down n the meaning of
as ‘a careful investigation or inquiry especially through search for new facts in any branch of
knowledge.”
Objective:
The purpose of research is to discover answer to question through the application of scientific
procedures. The main aim of research is to find out the truth which is hidden and which has not
been discovering yet.
