Tipos de Pesquisa [Catálogo dos tipos de metodologia científica para TCC]

Summary

In this video, Professor André Fontenelle explains how to classify the methodology for your final thesis (TCC). He outlines the essential elements of research methodology, including the purpose, objectives, approach, methods, and procedures, and emphasizes the importance of clearly defining these for your project. The video also introduces complementary elements that add depth to your methodology, such as data collection tools and analysis variables. Viewers are encouraged to classify their research according to at least five criteria, with more in-depth explanations to follow in upcoming videos.

Takeaways

• 😀 The methodology section of your TCC is crucial for defining the technical boundaries and guiding the research process.
• 😀 The methodology helps clarify the steps of your research and ensures you meet the evaluator's expectations.
• 😀 There are no standardized classifications for research methods; each scholar defines their own criteria for classifying methodologies.
• 😀 The methodology must be classified according to at least five criteria: purpose, objectives, approach, methods, and procedures.
• 😀 Research can be classified based on its purpose into pure/basic, strategic, or applied research.
• 😀 Research objectives can be classified into descriptive, exploratory, or explanatory types.
• 😀 The research approach can be qualitative, quantitative, or a combination of both (Qualy-quantitative).
• 😀 Research methods include inductive, deductive, dialectic, or hypothetical-deductive reasoning.
• 😀 There are various research procedures such as bibliographic, documental, case study, experimental, field, observational, survey, action, and participatory research.
• 😀 Complementary elements in a methodology provide additional details, like the units of analysis, data collection instruments, variables, and research stages.
• 😀 Depending on the methodology chosen, you might need to explain additional details, such as how you selected participants or gathered data.

Q & A

What is the importance of correctly classifying the methodology in a TCC?

Correctly classifying the methodology in a TCC is essential as it informs evaluators about the technical limits of your research, specifies what you are committed to doing, and guides you throughout the research process.

Why is the methodology considered a crucial component of a TCC?

The methodology is crucial because it outlines the research design, objectives, and procedures. It serves both as a guide for the researcher and a detailed plan that helps evaluators understand how the research will be conducted.

How many broad classes of methodology exist, according to the video?

The video outlines two broad classes of methodology: essential elements and complementary elements.

What are 'essential elements' in a research methodology?

Essential elements are the mandatory components that must be described in a research methodology. They include the purpose, objectives, approach, methods, and procedures used in the research.

What are the different classifications of research based on its purpose, as mentioned in the video?

Based on the purpose, research can be classified as basic (pure), strategic, or applied.

How can research be classified based on its objectives?

Research can be classified based on its objectives into three types: descriptive, exploratory, or explanatory.

What are the three main approaches to research mentioned in the video?

The three main approaches to research are qualitative, quantitative, and mixed-methods (Qualy-quantitative).

What are the different methods of research outlined in the video?

The research methods mentioned include inductive, deductive, dialectical, and hypothetical-deductive.

What types of procedures can be used in a research methodology?

The video lists several types of research procedures: bibliographic, documentary, case study, experimental, field research, exploratory, survey, action research, and participatory research.

What are 'complementary elements' in research methodology?

Complementary elements add details and clarification to the essential elements. These include the units of analysis, instruments for data collection, variables or dimensions considered in the study, and the stages of research development.

When are complementary elements required in a research methodology?

Complementary elements are required when specific types of research procedures are used. For instance, if conducting a case study, the researcher would need to explain how they selected the interview questions and participants.

Why might it not be necessary to explain complementary elements for certain types of research, like bibliographic research?

In bibliographic research, explaining the process of selecting books or sources is not required, as it does not add value to the research methodology.

What are some key challenges when classifying a TCC methodology?

One challenge is that there is no universal standard for classifying research methods; each scholar may categorize methodologies differently. Therefore, the researcher must justify their choices when classifying their research.

How should a researcher classify their TCC methodology?

The researcher must classify their TCC methodology according to at least five criteria: the purpose, objectives, approach, methods, and procedures used. Each of these categories can include multiple sub-methodologies that need to be explained in detail.
