False.
Research design and research methodology are related concepts, but they are not the same.
-
Research design refers to the overall plan or blueprint for conducting a research study. It outlines the structure of the research, including the type of study (e.g., experimental, observational, qualitative, quantitative), the population being studied, how data will be collected, and how the results will be analyzed.
-
Research methodology, on the other hand, refers to the specific methods and procedures used to collect and analyze data within the framework of the research design. This includes techniques for data collection (e.g., surveys, interviews, experiments) and analysis methods (e.g., statistical tests, thematic analysis).
In summary, research design is the overarching plan, while research methodology is about the specific methods employed within that plan.
