Research is the foundation for the building of knowledge and problem solving. It must be well-understood method to ensure that it is precise, reliable, and imaginative. With todays world fast-paced and data-driven environment, it is really necessary for students and professionals alike to learn how to research properly. "The Textbook on Research Methodology" was designed to suit many users, ranging from novice students who are conducting their first studies to veteran professionals who want to hone their research skills.
Here, we discuss such topics as research methods and combine theory with practical application. We cover the basic aspects of research design, data collection, hypothesis building, and result analysis and focus on the necessity of choosing the appropriate methods depending on the type of research. Paying special attention to both qualitative and quantitative methods, we ensure that readers know how to deal with complex research questions. The use of modern tools such as SPSS and JAMOVI in order to analyze and interpret data to draw insights is a key part of this textbook. Data analysis plays an important role in making most decisions nowadays; therefore, learning how to utilize them properly is highly pertinent. With clear tutorials and examples, readers are guided through step-by-step ways to utilize these programs in performing actual statistical analysis, thereby increasing the validity and trustworthiness of their results.Case studies, along with practical exercises, are of further use to introduce these methodologies within real-world settings.
