Key Topics to Revise

1

1. Choosing a Research Method

  • Every research question needs an appropriate or suitable research method.
  • A given question may be answered with more than one method, but a given research method is not necessarily appropriate for all questions.
  • After specifying the research question, the first task of the researcher is to select a suitable method.
2

2. Survey Method

  • A survey involves asking a relatively large number of people the same fixed set of questions.
  • The number considered large depends on context and topic; examples include 30, 100, or 2000.
  • Questions may be read out by an investigator, or the questionnaire may be filled in by respondents themselves.
3

3. Interview Method

  • An interview is always conducted in person.
  • It usually involves fewer people than a survey, sometimes as few as 5, 20, or 40.
  • Interviews may be structured or unstructured.
4

4. Observation Method

  • Observation means systematically watching and recording what is happening in a chosen context or situation.
  • It also requires attention to what is not happening, because that may be as important as what is happening.
  • The researcher must avoid pre-judging what is relevant before watching.
