means of various objective methods and procedures. The term objective indicates that these methods and procedures do not rely on personal feelings or opinions and that the specific methods are used at each stage of the research process. These methods include procedures for drawing samples (e.g. simple random sampling)‚ measuring variables‚ collecting information and analysing the information. Research methodology considers and explains the logic behind research methods and techniques. Sources

Describe the scientific method of research. Be sure to identify the key components‚ providing examples of each. Use external sources to support your answer. The methods of science are the methods of all correct thinking. In all thinking we are concerned with getting and organizing knowledge‚ or with testing‚ applying‚ and developing the knowledge we have already acquired (Jones‚ 1909). According to Zikmund‚ Babin‚ Carr‚ and Griffin‚ “the scientific method is a set of prescribed procedures for
