Analysis of Methodology

Introduction

Research is a systematic and logical search for useful and new information on specific topic. Research is an investigation for finding solutions on social and scientific uses through objectives and systematic analysis. Research is basically a search for knowledge and discovery of hidden truths. We in order to research or find answers to our questions or problems use certain type of methodology. Methodology helps individuals to understand why a person wants to do research in particular way. Moreover, it also helps others to know what a person is doing. It provides confidence to finding agencies that their money is not going to wasted (Shaughnessy & Jeanne, 2011). When writing a research it is very important to state its methodology so that others can understand the importance of what an individual have done and make sense of how it all worked. Methodology piece explains what have a person done and why. In this paper we are going to do analysis of methodology of 3 articles.

The chosen methodology to be analyzed is Survey Researches. The main topic for the research is based on TESOL (Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages). The purpose behind choosing survey research method is because it assesses opinions, thoughts and feeling and it has more widespread and global goals. Under this method researcher use surveys to collect factual data by asking questions that help understand attitudes, desires, opinions, and beliefs of individuals. We can take example of Yoko Kobayashi in which she has examined the perspectives of employees speaking Japanese in ESL institutions of Canada. This study aimed to develop a comprehensive file on opinion, experience, and perceptions of Japanese speaking staff.
