Discussion
The 'Methodology' section of a research proposal includes .............
(i) Population and sample of the research.
(ii) Results of the prior research.
(iii) Information about data collection techniques and tools to be used in research.
(iv) Findings of the present research.
Answer: A
The methodology section covers the population and sample, and the data collection techniques and tools, so the answer is (i) and (iii) are correct.
A research proposal describes the study before it is done. Its methodology section explains how it will be carried out: the population and the sample (i), the research design, and the techniques and tools of data collection (iii), such as questionnaires or interviews, along with the planned analysis.
Results of prior research (ii) belong in the literature review, and findings of the present research (iv) cannot appear in a proposal, since the study has not yet been done. Every option with (ii) or (iv) is wrong.
