Exploring and Applying Research Methodologies and Methods suitable for research conducted within the Computer Science discipline
The choice of a research methodology and related research methods reflect not only the context of the research but also include decisions related to the way the research is initially framed through the hypothesis statements or research questions.
This discussion invites you to research and reflect on the different research methodologies and related research methods, in light of a research idea or topic that holds your interest. You may choose any research idea or topic, including one you may have discovered as part of the Week 1 Brainstorming Activity.
To prepare for this discussion
Review the learning resources and media for this week
Conduct an initial review of research articles related to the research idea or topic you’ve chosen, reviewing the types of research approaches used by the researchers, their choice of methodology and methods and why these approaches were chosen. Select two to be utilised for your initial posting in Week 1
Reflect on your own personal experiences with Computer Science projects that might have required you to investigate the feasibility of a particular technology or application of a technology within a context, from a ‘problem solving’ perspective.
To complete this discussion
In Week 1: Create an initial post (300-500 words) in which you present and discuss research methodologies and related methods. Making use of your initial review of potential research articles related to the research idea or topic you’ve chosen, provide a short summary of each of the two articles, describing the research methodology and research method(s) employed in the research. Critically evaluate the choices of researchers in terms of the appropriateness in supporting the aims and objectives of the research. Include an explanation on how the methodology and method(s) employed in the research might be appropriate for your own research topic. In addition to the two articles provided in your own posting, you are expected to cite several other academic and/or practitioner references to support your post.
In Week 2: Respond to your colleagues, by commenting on, or critiquing, the analysis of research methodologies and methods that they have presented, locating similarities and differences when compared to your analysis. You may also want to provide additional supporting information pertaining to the analysis and appropriateness of the described research methodologies and methods, using academic references for support. (300-500 words)
In Week 3: Post a final executive summary (500 words max) of the peer and instructor deliberations that have related to your own post, reflecting on lessons that have been learnt and changes or realignments that you have made following the class discussions. In the unlikely event your initial post has received no additional comments from your peers, include different points of view retrieved from the literature.
Only the final summary post is subject to the late submission penalty (third week discussion forum deadline). Other posts submitted after their respective deadlines would not be subject to the late penalty but submitting late would have a negative impact on the final grade because of the “discussion forum engagement and responsiveness” criterium in the marking rubric. The information about the late submission policy can be found here:
What do I do if I can’t meet a deadline or need to submit my work late? – (liverpool-online-study.com)
The recommended word count for the full discussion forum is 1500 words. The initial post should be between 300-500 words. The response posts should be between 300-500 words. Only the final summary post will be subject to the maximum word count policy. This final post must not exceed 500 words. References and images are not included in the word count. As per the assessment length policy, penalties will be applied to assessments which exceed this length.
