Research methodology
I perceive that authors focuses on describing the key argument that research question is
highly important for the researchers. The authors demonstrate that methodology refers to the
method of evaluating and investigating the techniques used by the researchers, describing
limitations and resources which are considered in conducting the research (Clough & Nutbrown,
2012). Through investigating the perception of the author I reveled that research decisions and
research questions are mainly developed and highly based on the purpose of conducting the
research. The author revealed that research question is significant it is because it set the limit and
parameters for conducting the study; it also helps in defining the problems and issues as well as
find the manner of clarifying the different situations. Further, it is important because it set the
path and support in moving in the right direction during the procedure of the research. I also
revealed that it help in developing better practice of research and helps in understanding the
manner of doing the work and performing the task in the research.
Qualitative research
Through my investigation Brockington and Sullivan argues that qualitative research
support the researchers to collect the data in natural setting rather than focusing on artificial as
well as constructed results. Qualitative method includes different type of technique which
includes semi-structured interview, group discussions and oral histories. The method provides
responses and implications to the researchers to get the subjective experience. The authors
describe various examples of PRA (Participatory Action Research) technique which includes
wealth ranking, Mapping etc (Brockington & Sullivan, 2003). The Ethnography is also the
technique which is used to develop the different range of the qualitative data in which some of
the technique includes such as observing the participants and oral testimony.
Further, authors also describe the overall description of the qualitative data through the
side of quantitative that is it demonstrate that it is considered an error and some the researchers
find qualitative data is somehow inferior (Brockington & Sullivan, 2003). It is because of
describing the information and showing results without the help of statistical information that is
no testing and no validation of the data which were collected according to the subject matter. It is
