RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

. [Virtual Presenter] Good morning everyone. Today I will discuss research methodology and its importance for postgraduate students. I will provide an overview of the essential components essential for successful research and will discuss how research methodology should be applied in order to achieve the best results. Let's begin our session..

. [Virtual Presenter] Research is a logical and systematic investigation to uncover new and beneficial information on a given topic. It involves an analysis of existing knowledge and data to find resolutions to scientific or social issues. It is a search for knowledge, and knowledge is information about matters which can be gathered from various sources such as experiences, observations, books, journals or nature itself. Through research, we can make new contributions to existing knowledge and progress in our field..

[Audio] Systematic investigation into a subject to discover facts and draw conclusions requires the collection and analysis of data and information. This process of inquiry is employed in many areas, such as the sciences, the humanities, and decision-making. Through research, new products and services may be designed and knowledge may be advanced. It is a methodical process of posing questions, gathering evidence, analyzing data, and forming conclusions. Achieving fruitful results requires methodological rigor, accuracy, and precision..

[Audio] Conducting research requires consideration of the framework of research approaches, utilizing procedures, methods and techniques that have been evaluated for their validity and reliability. It is essential to maintain an unbiased and objective research process to achieve accurate outcomes..

[Audio] Research methodology provides a systematic way to solve a problem and is a science of studying how research can be carried out effectively and efficiently. Procedures used to describe, explain and predict phenomena are detailed, with the ultimate aim of giving a solid work plan for conducting research..

[Audio] Research Methodology is an essential part of postgraduate studies, involving the use of various approaches to collect samples, data and find solutions to problems. These methods typically involve theoretical procedures, experimental studies, numerical schemes, and statistical approaches. They are planned, scientific, and value-neutral in nature, allowing for explanations to be built from collected facts, measurements, and observations rather than reasoning alone..

[Audio] Organizing data and information, analyzing and interpreting it, coming to a conclusion, and keeping in touch with a supervisor and mentor for any queries or guidance throughout the process are necessary in order to conduct research. For specific consultation related to this or any other research related subjects, Dr. Khatijah Othman of FKP USIM is available. Her contact information is khatijah@usim.edu.my..
