...CHAPTER 3 RESEARCH METHODOLOGY Research Design This chapter presents the methodology of the study by which the research activities were undertaken. This included the research design, the subject of the study, the locale, the research instruments, data gathering procedure and statistical treatment of data. Method of Study This study used the descriptive correlation method since its purpose was to determine the existing condition of the students’ study habits and their academic achievement. Moreover, it also described the existing relationship between students’ academic achievement and their learning environment. According to Good and Scales, a descriptive investigation includes all the studies that support to present facts concerning the nature and status of anything – a group of persons, a number of objects, a set of conditions, a class of events, a system of thought, or any kind of phenomena which one may wish to study. Subjects of the Study The subjects of the study were the Fourth Year High School students from Public and Private schools in Taguig. See Table 1 for the breakdown of sample. Table 1 School Type Male Female Total Total This study focused on the study habits and learning environment in relation to the academic achievement of Fourth Year level students of President Diosdado Macapagal High School, Signal Village National High School, Athens Academy and Royal Era which were utilized as the samples of the study.

Prologue Information technology (IT) investment decision-making impacts all industries but sometimes in different ways. For example, Karadag et al. (2009) explored the importance of IT investment decision-making methodology in lodging industry. The research found that evaluation activities for hotel IT investments have not been performed widely and consistently and that some types of hotels tend to use more financial and non-financial IT evaluation methods, since all investments are expected to show a positive return on investment. The research findings highlight the importance of the use of IT investment evaluation techniques and the 3 4 Information Technology Investment: Decision-Making Methodology major differences in their use require a substantial need for understanding a wide variety of IT investment methodologies to satisfy decision-making needs. To provide useful decision-making in IT...

Whilst family, partners and friends may have been generally very supportive this is NOT the place to record that support. Abstract This must be no more than ONE Page in length; and include the purpose, methodology, findings and main conclusions of your Dissertation. NB. It should allow a busy reader to assess the value of this Document in the minimum of time; i.e. like the flyleaf of a book. Contents Your Dissertation must include an accurate Contents Page. NB. A busy reader may not want to read your entire Dissertation; so make it easy for them to find what they do want to read. List of Tables & Figures The order in which these should be presented is: Charts, Figures, Maps, Tables & Photographs. The numbering convention for the above is the Chapter number followed by the number in the sequence next; e.g.: Chart 1.4 (i.e. the 4th Chart in the 1st Chapter) Fig 3.2 (i.e. the 2nd Figure in the 3rd Chapter) Each should include a heading that concisely describes it; e.g.: Chart 1.4 – Average Rainfall in Scarborough from 1999 to 2004. Place these in an appropriate place in the text; i.e. when you first refer to them, and, if you need to refer back to them, make sure that you reference their number and page number; e.g.: It would appear that the...

...is the audience? You need to imagine someone who is well-educated in your broad area but who does not know about your specific research. You will need to define and clarify some terminology and concepts. writing? When should I start writing? Begin your writing early. The more work you've done at the proposal stage the easier it will be. Set up folders that will contain separate documents for each chapter or major section. Add to these as you develop your ideas. The order in which you write about your research is often not the same as the order of the finished chapters or sections. Discuss and work out a draft for organising your chapters with your supervisor. Using questions to guide your structure Here are some questions to help you think about some sections you might include in your minor thesis. The suggestions on the right follow a ‘traditional’ thesis structure, but there are other ways of structuring your thesis. Introduction What is the research about? Literature review What is already known in this area? Research question What do you want to find out about? Methodology How did you go about your research? Results/Findings What did you find?...

...approximately 5% of their gross income on information systems development and support. This equates to approximately $15,000,000 to $35,000,000 annually (Whitemarsh Information Systems Corp. 2008, p.). Information systems may cost significantly less. In comparison, information systems, contingent upon other factors such as size of the company, and complexity of the information system cost may range anywhere from $2,000,000 to $10,000,000 per system. Corporate leadership clearly has a strong influence upon information system expenditures and may have unrealistic expectations associated with anticipated return on investments in information systems. This research paper explorers the need for a formalized approach to systems development and the methodologies available to the developer. Additionally, this research...

...03-Bloomberg-45467.qxd 12/26/2007 11:52 AM Page 65 CHAPTER 3 Presenting Methodology and Research Approach OVERVIEW Chapter 3 of the dissertation presents the research design and the specific procedures used in conducting your study. A research design includes various interrelated elements that reflect its sequential nature. This chapter is intended to show the reader that you have an understanding of the methodological implications of the choices you made and, in particular, that you have thought carefully about the links between your study’s purpose and research questions and the research approach and research methods that you have selected. Note that in the proposal’s chapter 3, you project what you will do based on what you know about the particular methods used in qualitative research, in general, and in your tradition or genre, in particular; hence, it is written in future tense. In the dissertation’s chapter 3, you report on what you have already done. You write after the fact; hence, you write in past tense. As such, many of the sections of chapter 3 can be written only after you have actually conducted your study (i.e., collected, analyzed, and synthesized your data). To write this chapter, you need to conduct literature reviews on the methodological issues involved in qualitative research design. You need to show the reader that you (a) have knowledge of the current issues and discourse, and (b) can relate your study...
