Designing your PhD research methods

Conclusion
 In-Brief

PhD Research Methodology Research Design helps in planning the research

design and assist you in collecting and analyzing the needed information for
your PhD research. The main objective of Research Design Methodology
is to formulate a research problem that requires precise investigation for
developing a working thesis. PhD Methodology Research Design Help
follows a well-organized procedure utilized by scientist to drive your study
and get a good outcome.
Introduction

The Research Design and Methodology is the

integral part of the study that aims to explain how to
drive the research and which data analysis method
you will use to research.

It is a framework that explains various other

research theories, assumptions to give a working
framework suitable for your study.

Contd..
The research method includes information such as,

A framework of research such as assumptions and theories.

Methods and techniques used to enhance the reliability and validity of the research work

The theoretical orientation of the research

Justification for choosing this method

Consideration and limitation of selected research method

Designing your
PhD Research
Methods Experts for framing a PhD Research Design &
Methodology is based on the data needed to
interpret the result of the research.

Qualitative data is descriptive and which can be

1. Defining Basis
observed not measured.
Information
Qualitative or Quantitative data is information about quantities.
Quantitative
2. Determine The approach of data collection varies based on
the Subject different fields of the study and relies on the required
of the information.
Experiment
So, determining the area of study is required to drive
the research method.

The objective of data collection is to ensure the

information and reliable data for statistical
analysis, so it is easy to make data-driven decisions
for research.

3. Identify the
Approach The two different approaches to follow in research
of the method is a qualitative and quantitative approach.
Research
Methodology The research approach is a plan and procedure that
consist of steps of broad assumptions to methods of
data collection.

Choosing the right data collection method is an

important step that can change the fate of the
research you carry out.

4. Identify
Sample
Design
The sample design is a framework that serves as the
basis for the selection of the survey sample and can
change many other aspects of the survey.

Identification of sample design is a more significant

step that provides a basic plan and Methodology for
selecting the sample.

5. Data
Collection
It is the process of collecting, analyzing,
measuring, accurate research using the standard
validated technique.

Framing PhD Research Methodology is the

process of validating the information on target
variables involves two Primary Dissertation
Research Methods.

Contd..
6. Analysing
and
Interpretation It is the process of making sense to collect data
using various techniques.

Data collection is the systematic analysis of

recording the information.

Data interpretation involves explaining those

patterns and trends.

Contd..
QUALITATIVE RESEARCH METHOD

Qualitative type of research method focuses on examining the area of study

through external factors.

This type of research has various ways to collect data from an individual.

The primary dissertation research method used are interview, open-ended

questions, focus group.

PhD Research Design Consulting Services helps in gaining insight into people’s
thought and beliefs around certain behaviour and system.

Contd..
The three primary dissertation research method used to collect the data are,

I. Case study:

The case study is the only standard approach to study the working environment with
the help of multiple sources of data.

It provides a detailed study of a specific subject like the person, group, event,
organization.

These case study commonly use in education, clinical and business research.

It is the research method that involved a detailed examination of a particular study.

Contd..
II. Observation:

The observation is a data collection method gathered knowledge of the research

phenomenon by observing researched phenomenon—one of the simplest methods
that do not require any technical knowledge to get results.

Scientific controlled observation requires some technical skills to interpret the data.

Observation is the main basis of formulating the hypothesis.

The main advantage of this method is researchers do not depend on the

information provided by the respondent.

Contd..
QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH METHODS

I. Primary data collection:

It is the approach of data collected by the researcher.

This approach allows the researchers to decide what exact variables operationalized
in the study.

PhD Research Design and Methodology analyze the data using a statistical
technique to assess the natural relationship between the variables.

Contd..
II. Secondary data collection:

This approach differs and involves the statistical analysis of data collected by other
researchers.

It requires selection of publicly involved data sets for research.

Secondary data analysis saves time for researchers to assess the information reliable.

However, before start using these data’s researchers must build the research
question based on the available data.

Contd..
Conclusion

Data analysis is the process eventually helps to

arrive conclusions by proving the hypothesis.

Qualitative Research Methodology Editing Helps

to frame the objectives that are supposed to
measure, explore the relationships between
multiple measures.
