P3 Reflect on the effectiveness of research methods applied for meeting objectives

After the research was conducted by me I reflected on my performance. I analysed that I was able to achieve my goals and objectives on time. I acted as team leader for project and assigned roles to each team member. For this I had to do a lot of planning. I managed activities with the help of Gantt chart. It provided me an insight on how activities will be conducted and what time each activity will take. It helped in conducting research in smooth way. I created a proper communication structure so that effective coordination is there. With this team member were able to communicate with each other. I noticed that they also helped each other in order to complete their task. With this it was easy for team to move forward in step by step manner. By conducting research I gained skills and knowledge about various things. I learned about different research methods and how they are applied. The major challenge that I faced was analysing and interpreting of data. I was having no experience in this. So I hired an expert who did this for my project. He used SPSS for this. He also gave me training for using SPSS. I learned how to use it and it increased my confidence.

P4 Consider alternative research methodologies

Research is conducted by using several research methodologies. The selection of research methods on nature of research. Also, it depends on willingness of researcher on which method he or she may use (Bei and Dongsheng, 2014). The research methods must be analysed effectively otherwise it will affect the end results. In context to research, quantitative approach is applied. Other than this, qualitative approach can be used. It helps in having a deep analysis of research topic. Besides this, it includes hypothesis and required mathematical support. On the other hand in research design descriptive method is applied. Exploratory and experimental design is used to explore topic. Generally, it is used in scientific and mathematical research.

In addition to this data sampling method is also of different types. Non probabilistic method is used to selected for random sampling. In this large number of people are selected in which it is very difficult to measure ( Marshall and Rossman, 2014). Usually, it is used when research is conducted at large scale. Alongside this, secondary method can be used to collect data. In this previous articles, newspapers are analysed to collect data. Also, positivism philosophy is alternative method that is used. In this case studies are analysed and data is collected. It is applied in research determining interrelationship between two elements.
