Research Methodology
For this research, the qualitative research is being selected because most of the studies
mentioned in the literature review are based on the quantitative method along with the
longitudinal study. Also, the qualitative research is the multi-method which is in the focus having
involved a naturalistic, an interpretive approach to the subject matter as found from Dharssi and
Perry (2017). This research method will be useful for this research as it focuses on the
understanding of a research query in the form of an idealistic approach. Although the
quantitative method is one extremely reliable method and it is founded on the numeric which can
be propagated by all other researchers, the qualitative method is further used for the
understanding of the beliefs of people , the attitudes, the experiences , the interactions and the
behaviors. It will help in generating the non-numerical data and the integration of the qualitative
integration in a research strategy which is gaining enhanced attention in all of the disciplines.
The research methodology is the specific procedure or the technique that is used for the
identification, the selection, the processing and analyzing information regarding a particular
topic. In a particular research, the section of methodology allows the readers to evaluate critically
the overall validity and the reliability of the study (Kumar 2019). It is the path used by the
researchers in conduct the research. It further depicts the ways through which the researchers
will formulate their issue and the objectives for presenting the outcome from the data that is
obtained at the time of the study(Dharssi and Perry 2017). The methodology further shows the
way the outcomes of the research will be obtained with the meeting of the study objectives. The
chapter is dedicated to discussing the research methods which were used at the time of the entire
research process. It consists of the study from the research strategy to the dissemination of the
result. In here, the research strategy is outlined along with the research design, the study area, the

data sources such as the primary or the secondary data , the consideration of the population, the
sample size, the questionnaire sample size determination, the data collection through survey ,
questionnaire, the interviews and others which enhance the reliability of the data, its validity, the
inclusion criteria, the ethical consideration and the like. The methodology section will cover the
process of collecting data through which the research questions can be answered. The aim of the
study is to examine the educational challenges faced by migrant children in the United Kingdom.
The qualitative research is also used as the strategy that is philosophically incongruent
with all of the experimental research. Moreover, the qualitative research has contributed hugely
in the health research. Also, in the clinical trials, the qualitative research leaves a great impact on
the collection of data, the analysis along with the interpretation of the outcomes. A short case
study and the semi-structured interview will also be used in this research because the semi-
structured interviews will be helpful because the respondents will avail the opportunity of
delivering insightful responses without going off the topic (Berger 2018). The semi-structured
interview occurs when the interviewer does not follow a formalized list of the questions. They
ask for open ended questions, allow for a discussion with the interviewee instead of a
straightforward question and answer format. This method will be useful because the questions
will be prepared ahead of the time and allow the interviewer to become prepared and appear
quite competent at the time of the interview. It will also provide freedom to the informants for
expressing their opinions according to their wish (Haghi et al. 2018). The thematic analysis will
also be used in this research. This type of analysis is considered as the most significant form of
the analysis related to the qualitative research. It usually elaborates on the identification, the
analysis and the interpretation of the patterns of meaning. The analysis is further understood
being a method or the technique in contrast to the qualitative approaches. It will be helpful as it
