Research methodology sample can be useful to guide the selection of a suitable methodology

Research methodology sample  is important when the students have to select a methodology for their research when writing a  thesis  or a research paper. But, students face the dilemma of where to find the good methodologies for samples.

the differences between Method and Methodology

我發現來英國唸書的碩士生,大多不知道這兩者的差別 今天呢~就來小小討論一下Method和Methodology 大家都知道Method,我們可以說它是approach也可以說它是tool 在研究中,我們需要方法來幫忙我們探討研究的問題 像常用到的observation, interviews, questionnaire等這些都是research method 但是要該如何進行這些reseaech methods?進行的順序又是如何?這時我們就需要methodology幫我們說明 但什麼是Methodology?我第一次見到時查了字典'方法論' 說真的看得似懂非懂,'方法論'不就是在講方法,那不就跟Method一樣? 我想很多人的想法跟我當初的看法是一樣的,就是Method=Methodology 但是事實上這兩者是不能畫上等號 很多書中解釋Method和Methodology的差別 不過我最喜歡Clough, P. and Nutbrown, C.的解釋 methods可被視為the ingredients of research,而methodology則是提供a particular research recipe的理由 (Clough, P. and Nutbrown, C., 2002, A Student’s Guide to Methodology, London, Sage.) 這樣寫大家似乎還是很不瞭解,那我舉一個簡單的例子 今天我要做'紅燒獅子頭'這道菜 我需要材料: 絞肉:600公克 ‧豆腐:半塊 ‧大白菜:300公克 ‧荸薺:5顆 ‧香菜:3顆 配料: ‧醬油:5大匙 ‧高湯:4杯 ‧糖:1大匙 ‧薑水:1茶匙 ‧胡椒粉:1/4茶匙‧紹興酒:1茶匙‧沙拉油:3杯‧太白粉:3大匙‧太白粉水:3大匙‧麻油:1大匙 我們都知道這些材料是做紅燒獅子頭的要素,但是大家都還是不知道該如何做紅燒獅子頭 因此我在更進一步說明做法 ●先用醬油5大匙、紹興酒1大匙、薑水1茶匙及糖1大匙,調成「綜合調味料」備用。 ●荸薺洗乾淨之後,去皮切碎。荸薺切碎後與豆腐一起放入絞肉裡攪拌均勻。加入鹽1茶匙、薑水1茶匙、胡椒粉1/4茶匙、紹興酒1茶匙、太白粉3大匙及麻油1大匙繼續攪...
