the conceptual framework within research that organise foundation on behalf of evidence.
Research method:
It is a type of process that collect data related the project while representing the range of
element that associated with research study. The research type can be divided into two ways:
Qualitative research and Quantitative research (Huang and et.al., 2019).
Qualitative data collection method is based on the assumptions that considered existing
theories and models which applicable in the information gathering. It will provide brief idea
about the previous existing theories and became easier for researcher to criticise.
Quantitative research method is based on the numerical calculation where it measures
overall mathematic data or information. This type of method will provide the accurate results on
the basis of solution.
Scholar will choose qualitative research method for collecting large volume of
information regarding research topic. It will gather relevant information about project through
questionnaire for identifying the opinion of student within institution.
Research Design:
It is based on the strategy that has to be implemented within research study and how it

Conclusive is based on the Quantitative research method which mainly focused on
identify the measure numerical solution and generating finding. On the other hand, Exploratory
research is based on the research questions in order to identify problem and how it can be
resolved in proper ways. It willingly to change the direction of new data or information.
As per investigation, scholar will use exploratory design approach for understanding
problem and issue within research study.
Data collection method:
It is defined as a sequential process that mainly used for collecting data about the research
topic and how it can deal within appropriate manner. It can be categorised into two manner such
as primary and secondary data collection.
Primary data collection is based on the purpose of study where it analysed about the research
questions. It mainly focused on the research Aim for understanding overall relevant concepts for
further enhancement (Cheng and Tsai, 2019). On the other hand, secondary data collection is
based on the existing theories and model which applicable in previous study. Researcher will use
Journals and article for analysing the overall relevant data. In primary data collection, research
will focus on the objectives that could finding the answer of problem within project.
Sampling:
It is mainly described about the members, who are participating in research project where
member finding the solution by using different approaches within case study. Each and every
participate can be divided significant role for identifying solution of problem. It is representing
the large size of population where researcher will choose 20 members in project where each one
has performed their specific role for further enhancement.
PRIMARY DATA ANALYSIS
The primary data analysis is based on the data collection which analysing the process of
making sense of gathering relevant data and answer the questions (Laffe and et.al., 2019). It is
mainly supporting the hypotheses research for designing to access. In the research study,
Researcher will choose qualitative method for collecting information by using Questionnaires.
