Methodology
After you have reviewed the literature and developed a convincing case for your study, you
must decide on the specific actions you will take to meet the study’s stated purpose. This
means that you must develop some plan or strategy that will give you the information needed
to provide an answer to your research questions and test the hypotheses.
This plan or strategy
specifies the procedures you propose to follow in collecting the data pertaining to your
research question. Specifying the procedures requires several actions, such as identifying the
research participants, the instructions to the participants, what information will be obtained
from them, how you will get this information, how will the information be analyzed. You must
thoroughly think through each step of your study and decide how you will conduct each one.
After you have thought through and decided on each step, you must provide a written narrative
of these steps in your research proposal. In this written version, you should be sufficiently exact
so that someone else could read the Method section and conduct the same study that you have
proposed. If another researcher can read your Method section and replicate your study, then
you have provided an adequate description of a description of
• the research participants,
o The research participants are the individuals who actually participate in the
research study. In your research proposal, you should specify exactly who the
research participants will be, how many will participate in the study, their
characteristics (e.g., age, gender), and how they will be selected for inclusion in
your study.
• any instruments that are to be used in data collection,
• the design of the study, and

The design is the plan or strategy you will use to investigate your research
question(s).
• the procedure to be followed in collecting the data.
• Data Analysis
o After you have provided a description of how you propose to collect the data for
your study, you need to specify how you propose to analyze your data.
Examples of Methodology and Design:
Quantitative noninterventional longitudinal correlational design
Quantitative interventional experimental design
Quantitative cross-sectional correlational design.
