Methodology
-include how they
were used, what
observations were
gathered, and how
these observations
were processed to
formulate a
conclusion
interpreting
essentially their
meaning and
significance in
relation to the
problem
investigated.
- if one obtains the
same result using
identical
experimental
conditions and
materials, there is
evidence of
reproducibility of
results, making the
research reliable.
-Findings are often
explained in terms of
treatments or
methods to which the
materials or samples
have been subjected
to.
-If the procedures
employed are
appropriate and
relevant to the
investigation, then
the research is valid.
- Validity of the
research is another
characteristic
needed to establish
its worth.
