    1.

    1 Methodology is the
    systematic, theoretical
    analysis of the methods
    applied to a field of
    study. It comprises the
    theoretical analysis of the body
    of methods and principles
    associated with
    a branch of knowledge.
    Typically, it encompasses
    concepts such as paradigm,
    theoretical model,
    phases and quantitative or
    qualitative techniques. (
    Irny and Rose, 2005)
    A methodology does not
    set out to provide solutions - it
    is, therefore, not the same
    thing as a method. Instead, it
    offers the
    theoretical underpinning for
    understanding which method,
    set of methods or best
    practices which
    can be applied to specific case,
    for example, to calculate a
    specific result.
    1.2 Research: The process of
    research came into being due
    to man’s quest to be at tune
    with his
    environment and also
    understand nature. To achieve
    this, man uses the tools of
    experience and
    reasoning available to him.
    Man also makes use of
    experience and authoritative
    sources beyond
    his immediate circle.
    Experience and authority are
    rich and major sources of
    hypothesis, which
    are based mainly on
    common sense knowledge
    and haphazard events,
    therefore it can be
    unjustified for drawing
    conclusions on events.
    Hence research hypothesis
    formulation using
    experience and authority is
    judged to be unscientific.
    Research anchors on scientific
    reasoning;
    which could be inductive and
    deductive or both. Research
    is a combination of both
    experience
    and reasoning and can be said
    to be the most appropriate way
    of discovering the truth,
    precisely
    in the natural Sciences.
    Research methodology: This is
    a set of systematic technique
    used in research. This simply
    means a guide to research
    and how it is conducted. It
    describes and analysis
    methods, throws
    more light on their limitations
    and resources, clarify their
    pre- suppositions and
    consequences,
    relating their potentialities to
    the twilight zone at the
    frontiers of knowledge.
    Advantages of Research
    Methodology: The following
    are the advantages of
    research
    methodology:
    1. Advancement of wealth of
    human being
    2. Provision of tools for
    carrying out the research
    3. Develops a critical and
    scientific attitude, disciplined
    thinking to observations
    4. Enrichment of the
    research process and
    provision of chance for in-
    depth study and
    understanding of the subject
    5. Helps to inculcate the
    ability to evaluate and use
    research results with
    reasonable
    confidence and in decision
    making
    6. Inculcates the ability to
    learn to read and think
    critically.
    1.4 PHILOSOPHIES AND
    RESEARCH
    METHODOLOGIES
    6
    1 Survey: This is used to
    obtain data about practices,
    situation views at one point
    in time
    through questionnaire or
    interviews
    2. Case Study: this involves an
    attempt to describe
    relationships which exist in
    reality
    3. Simulations: This involves
    copying the behaviour of a
    system and is used in
    situations where
    it is difficult to solve
    problems analytically. It
    typically involves the
    introduction of random
    variables. It has a problem of
    making the data collected
    sufficient enough to resemble
    reality.
    4. Subjective/argumentative
    research: This is used for
    generating new theories and
    ideas which
    can subsequently be tested. It
    is subject to research bias. It is
    unstructured and subjective
    form of
    research.
    5. Action research: This is the
    most useful form of research.
    It involves application in
    which the
    researcher attempts to
    develop results or obtain
    solutions of practical value
    to the people with
    whom the researcher is
    working and at the same time
    developing theoretical
    knowledge.
