Week 2: A Perspective : Introduction of Research Methodology



In my own perspective Research Methodology is a specialized technique that is used to identify, select, a process, and analyze information on a topic of research problem. On average in the research paper, each section of the methodological element enables the reader to critically evaluate and draw a comparison to support the overall study. I think these sections of the methodology answer three key of questions in my mind : How is data collected or being generated? How is it beling analyzed? and what the researchers's finding about the issues they raised.

To come out with the manageable research, the research proposal is compulsory to overview the first sight of what issues a research want to raise. Research proposal include 3 main chapter which are:-
1. Chapter 1- Introduction
2. Chapter 2- Literature Review
3. Chapter 3- Methodology. 

These proposal then can be the overview on what design can be implement to our research. After being approve, the process of data collection, finding and discussion can be proceed. Research design help us to find the strength and weakness of the journey of research's writing. 

From Dr Sharifah's class on 2nd March 2020, I could share that doing research need to be manageable and having general steps that can be follow:-

1. Determine topic - can be related to current issues. 
2. Specify research problem
3. Specify research question/ objective/ hypothesis. (Usually, the objective is about 3 or 4 objectives that through the objective, we can create the research questions and hypothesis). 
4. Literature  Review (LR) 
5. Determine methodology (the target population, quantitative and qualitative)
6. Collect data
7. Analyze data
8. Reporting finding

Week 5 : The Reflection of Chapter 1

The chapter 1 have been started with the the introduction of research proposal. My mind started to stuck at the research objectives. However, the research objective is not the core of the subject for the overall study. Someone ever said to me, "the maturity of a thesis is based on the research gap, not the research objectives. From the research gap, we can think how to conduct the research, finding the solutions for the research gap". It is like we want to solve the world problem. The feel of reasoning in problem statement is like, the half of the thesis's heart have been complete. By starting the chapter 1, I can find several problems that related to my study. And of course because of my interest in occupational safety and health field, I do several reading to find the problem present to be investigate. Regarding to the readings, I could see that the implementation is not yet become our culture or in other word, I can say, the OSH Culture in our society. The knowl

picture source:  https://pro-papers.com/cn/literature-review-writing   In the research proposal, chapter 2 is focusing on Literature Review writing.  The literature review provide a valuable mechanism for remaining informed amidst an ever-increasing body of scientific work. It is a search and evaluation of the available literature in your given subject or chosen topic area. It documents the state of the art with respect to the subject or topic you are writing about. Basically, there are 4 components of a literature review includes: - •a description of the source; •a summary of the source’s main points; •a discussion of gaps in research; •an evaluation of the source’s contribution to the topic. picture source: Koons et al (2019) To systematize this multifaceted process, we present the “why, when, who, what, how, and where” of composing a literature review article. The current work provides structures and guidance for this fundamental effort which can establi
