From this learning, I gained my understanding about how the research methods are
effective in accomplishing the aim and objectives of the research matter. It is evaluated that
the research methodology could facilitate to the investigator for selecting a suitable method
with reliable sources to collect the feasible information about the research matter. These
methods are research design, data collection method, data analysis method, sampling method,
and ethical consideration. These methods play an imperative role in pumping the investigator
to reach at a reliable conclusion (Berry and Sauer, 2018)
I increased my understanding of mixed research design that could consider two methods like
qualitative and quantitative method. The qualitative method could be effective in getting the
conceptual information about the current research matter. The quantitative method will
enable to get the numerical information about the research matter. I also gained my
understanding of the data collection method in which I understood two methods that are
known as primary and secondary data collection method. The primary data collation method
could facilitate to the researcher for collecting the factual information by considering the
survey through questionnaire method (Berge, 2012). I observed that designed questions are
related to the research matter, which was enough to get favorable data in favor of research
matter.
It could lead to directly meet with the research participants and collect their opinion
towards the research matter. The secondary data collection method is also another method to
get the data from the existing sources that known as the books, articles, journals, online and
offline sources, company websites, as it would lead to getting the conceptual information in
the favor of the specified research matter. I used relevant and updated books for obtaining
accurate data. I realized that standard books are effective in getting reliable information
towards concern.
