Dissertation Research
Methods
CREATED BY ESSAY-ACADEMY.COM
The structure of your
dissertation depends on your
approach to researching the
topic. This post discusses
different ways you can take to
research information for your
work.
The term “Approach” does not
mean just the type of data you
are going to use for dissertation
but also orientation of your
study and arguments that you
are going to apply.
Selecting research methodology
for any kind of dissertation
depends on your own
knowledge and research
abilities.
The first thing to remember is
that it is necessary to provide
the reason why you included
this particular information.
Your topic provides you with
selection of possible
methodologies on order to stay
within limits.
QUALITATIVE OR QUANTITATIVE – WHICH TO
CHOOSE?
Let’s use the following example
of using both approaches.
Quantitative information is
appropriate when you want to
find out about popularity of
illegal drug use within particular
age group. Qualitative approach is the best
when you want to investigate
reasons for this group to engage
in this kind of behavior.
QUALITATIVE OR QUANTITATIVE – WHICH TO
CHOOSE?
You have already done many
research papers. Take time to
think about research
methodologies that you have
used in your previous works.
Ask your peers about their as
well. Remember that you will have to
provide justification for your
research methods so you have
to be comfortable with it in order
to able to explain your reason.
YOUR CHOICE OF METHODS DEPENDS ON
THE FOLLOWING:
• Personal preferences to approaches (realist and so on).
• Own abilities to collect and analyze information required
• Choice of topic that interests the student
• Way of establishing research Problem.
CAN THESE METHODS BE COMBINED IN ONE
DISSERTATION PAPER?
It is allowed to combine these
two methods. Let’s review an
example. Your research
question requires using
quantitative data as you want to
examine implications of a policy.
On the other hand, you want to
include a ‘human touch’. This means
providing interviews of people which
have experienced the policy to
describe its effect on certain individual
form different age group.
IN THIS CASE IT IS ALLOWED
TO USE COMBINATION OF
THESE METHODS.
