I. OBJECTIVES
After finishing this module, the learners should be able to:
1. present written research methodology

II. INTRODUCTORY CONCEPT


Good Day! You are halfway to completing your study. You are expected to have already
chosen the appropriate qualitative research design for your study, described sampling procedure and
sample and planned data collection, data gathering instrument and analysis procedures, which were
discussed.

Review the TERMS!


✓ METHODis a technique which the researcher uses to gather and generate data about the subject of
study
✓ METHODOLOGY is the section of the research paper which explains why the researcher chose to
use particular methods. It also includes the descriptions of any and all theoretical and/or ideological
concepts informing and influencing the course of the study, and the researcher’s rationale behind
adhering to these concepts.
✓ RESEARCH DESIGN is a plan which structures a study to ensure that the data collected and
generated will contain the information needed to answer the initial inquiry as fully and clearly as
possible.

Research methodology is a description of how exactly you conducted your research. You should provide
detailed information on the research design, participants, equipment, materials, variables and actions taken
by the participants. The method section should provide enough information to allow other researchers to
replicate your experiment or study. (Cherry, 2017)

How to Write the RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

Step 1: PARTICIPANTS

The Participants section tells the reader a minimum of 3 pieces of information:


1. Who was in your study;
2. The population used;
3. Any restriction on the nature of your participant pool. (APA Method Section, 2017)

You must give the following information in your Participants section:


1. The total number of participants and the number assigned to each experimental condition
2. The major demographic characteristics of the participants (such as age, etc.)
3. You must report the way the participants were selected
4. You must indicate if your participants are not representative of general population and if the
selection process was restricted in any way.
5. If they went to different groups, were they randomly assigned? (APA Method Section, 2017)
Step 2: MATERIALS OR APPARATUS

The Materials or Apparatus section tells the reader what equipment and tools you used to run your
experiment and to acquire data.
The rules for writing this subsection are as follows:
1. Standard equipment (such as screens, timers, keyboards, etc.) can be mentioned just by
name and without details.
2. Specialized equipment should give name, model number, and supplier name and location.
3. Complex equipment is named and then the reader is referred to the Appendix for
illustrations and greater details.
4. Custom equipment is named and labeled as custom equipment. Then, the reader is referred
to the Appendix for illustrations and greater details.
5. In your descriptions of the apparatus and materials, do NOT tell in detail how you will use
them.
How apparatus and materials are used belongs in the Procedure section.

Step 3: DESIGN & PROCEDURE

Describe the type of design used in the research. Specify the variables as well as the levels of these
variables. (Cherry, 2017: “APA Method Section,” 2017) this subsection gives the reader a summary of each
step in the execution of the research. This summary must be concise, precise and logical. Do not burden
the reader with too much detail but give enough so the reader can follow what is being done. (“APA Method
Section”, 2017)

Take Note!!
➢ Describe what you did and how you did it. The interested reader should be able to repeat the study
from the account provided. (‘APA style: Method,” 2017)
➢ Be concise, precise, and logical in your writing.
➢ Use the past tense in writing the methods section.
➢ Provide enough details to enable the reader to make an informed assessment of the methods used
in obtaining the results in relations to the research problem.
