Research Methodology
Introduction
The module intends to introduce students to academic research and provide some in-depth understanding of the research methodology. The module covers the process and techniques of research, research design, identification of research areas and the preparation of research proposal. At the end of the course, students should be able to identify issues, problems and areas of research, identify relevant data and information required for the research, develop data collection techniques, design research process and prepare research proposal.
As a last year degree student, we are required to come out with a thesis within one year times. The five major chapters of the thesis are research proposal, literature review, design and methodology, result and findings, conclusion and recommendation. In Semester 5, we only required to finish the first two chapter which are research proposal and literature review. At the third week of the semester, each of us are assigned to one supervisor to guide us throughout the whole thesis. First, we need to identify area of interest and come out with our desired topic. After the approval of research topic, we need to proceed with 2-3 objectives.
The topic of my thesis is "The impact of economic recessions towards the survival of contractor firms in Malaysia". Under the guiding of my supervisor, I have come out with my research objectives and thesis background. The objectives of my thesis are:
After finalized the research objectives, a lot of research is required to proceed with our Thesis. have found over hundred of journals to find for relevant information. I need to find a lot of relevant information and data to complete my research proposal and literature review. Through this subject, I had learned to do the research in the more accurate and effective ways. Besides that, after finish the first two chapter of the Thesis, I am able to seek information from a variety of sources,and express ideas clearly, effectively and confidently
