Research Methodology: Hypothesis, Design, and Objectives
The hypothesis serves as a *guide* to research. Even if it is difficult to establish hypotheses in studies that are reported as descriptive, it is what leads us to ask other questions. The scenarios, which lead us directly to the variables taken into account during the design and operationalization of the research, are what lead us to answer the question: What is to be collected from the previously defined social reality? Strictly speaking, a hypothesis is merely a statement about the relationship between two variables. For example, today’s youth is plus or minus X else’s youth-time…
The Methodology of the Project Design
Once the purpose of the research is defined, the project enters the proposal being studied as such an object. A body part of the project that goes from the first methodological justification of the means of starting up with which the researcher counts, starting with the experience of the researcher or team.
Methodological Justification
It complements the delimitation of the research object. It seeks to justify the quantitative or qualitative perspective, or perspectives, with which you have to enter their joint function, are assumed in the main object of investigation. The main questions to be answered are:
- Why do you opt for the quantitative-qualitative perspective?
- Why is it chosen, if any, to articulate both?
- Why do you opt for an ethical-behavior explanation from the researcher or EMIC explanation of behavior from the perspective of the subjects investigated?
They can also show the limitations of the perspective taken for the purpose of research and the limitations of the other perspective, not assumed, for our object of investigation. The perspective taken can only be the best or least bad, but not only, as it is almost always an approximation to social reality.
Development of This Paragraph Requires Methodological Awareness
Ortà appears accurate division between the relevance of the quantitative perspective when it comes to investigating facts or factual opinions, references to behaviors of individuals, behavior not recorded in the statement of the individual but on the conduct of such behavior, that is mediated by their views or beliefs, and the relevance of the qualitative perspective when it comes to investigating motivations, representations, and whose main objective is to demonstrate how through the speech of people. However, there are objects in the midst of complicated assignment, as the views in its most common techniques that are addressed by both perspectives. Moreover, there is talk of the adequacy of a methodological approach to an object of research to be justified. If the attachment was not directly required methodological justification, since it is always possible to investigate any subject from any of the two.
Specific Objectives
If the project is intended to solve an important social problem, the empirical approach puts us in touch with a multitude of dimensions of this social reality. The purpose here is to break the question into small questions that may provide answers on approach. The listed objectives are fleshed out in sub-objectives and secondary objectives. The process may be infinite. The issue is to establish what questions were going to do and respond to the study. The objectives and sub-section identify the key points that warrant investigation, particularly from an operational perspective. They should be of interest to the possible beneficiary institution of research and designed to take into account their results. Such a project can stay away from the short and give an air of detached fragmentation of objectives, where some appear after the other, unless it is supported with a brief explanation of the variables to consider.
