[Audio] Good morning everyone. Today's presentation is about research methodology and how to get started. We'll look into what research is, why we conduct it, and how we can define it. I look forward to going through this journey with you..

[Audio] A systematic process of gathering and analysing data, research is a way of gathering evidence to answer questions and solve problems. It may include literature reviews, surveys, experiments, interviews and more, to further our knowledge and provide new solutions or insights. Additionally, research serves to verify and validate knowledge, providing us with evidence-based information to make informed decisions..

[Audio] A systematic method of collecting and analyzing data to gain new knowledge or insight is known as research. It involves the use of multiple techniques like surveys, experiments, case studies, etc. Research is a process of gathering information and testing it with the intent of coming up with solutions to problems or acquiring knowledge. Specialized tools and techniques, such as statistical analysis, comparative analysis, etc., may be required to comprehend the subject or issue in study. By employing rigorous and systematic research methods, researchers are able to obtain new insights into the world..

[Audio] Establishing a framework of philosophies and procedures, as well as tested methods and techniques to ensure unbiased and objective results is an integral part of any research project. These elements are vital in order to ensure the successful completion of the research..

[Audio] Research Methodology is a systematic approach to finding the answers to research questions. It involves the identification of research topics, the collection of data related to those topics, and the analysis and interpretation of that data. It is essential to use the correct methodology to ensure that the research is valid and reliable, thus making it the foundation for any research project. Understanding and properly applying research methodology is a critical part of any research endeavor..

[Audio] Methods used in research vary depending on the research question being asked. Quantitative research focuses on collecting numerical data, such as survey results, and uses statistical analysis to draw conclusions. Qualitative research focuses on collecting data through methods such as interviews and observations in order to draw conclusions about sociological or psychological aspects of the topic being studied. Both of these methods involve the use of carefully designed protocols, standards and techniques, in order to ensure valid results and replicable findings. Additionally, research methods can also include experiments, case studies or historical analysis. Ultimately, research methods are used to gather and analyze data, in order to answer a specific research question..

[Audio] It is important to keep in mind that while conducting research, you need to be aware of the ethical implications of your work and ensure that your research meets the standards set by your institution.
