Research methodology is a way of finding out information and answering questions. It includes the methods and techniques used to collect data. For example, if you want to know which type of fruit is the favorite among your classmates, you could use a survey. First, you would create a list of fruits and then ask your classmates to choose their favorite. After collecting the answers, you can analyze the data by counting how many people chose each fruit. This helps you understand which fruit is the most popular. Research methodology helps people gather facts, test ideas, and make decisions based on evidence. It can be used in science experiments, surveys, and even when writing reports on different topics.
