Learning Objective

I can write a methods section that clearly explains how I collected and analyzed data.

  • 1

    The methodology chapter is important because it allows readers to evaluate the reliability and validity of the research.

  • 2

    In the methodology section, you should describe your methods of data collection and data analysis, but avoid discussing your results.

  • 3

    A strong methodology section will justify your methodological choices by explaining why other methods were unsuitable and how your approach contributes new knowledge.
