@dr.pfarelo.matsila: Your methodology chapter is NOT a research methods dictionary! 😭📚 One of the biggest mistakes postgraduate students make is spending pages defining research concepts without explaining WHY and HOW those methods apply to their own studies. Your examiner wants to understand the logic behind your methodological choices, not just whether you can define qualitative research. Remember: A strong methodology chapter demonstrates alignment, justification and methodological coherence. 🎓 Part 1 of Research Skills Unravelled. Save this video for your next methodology chapter revision! #research #postgrad #phd #studentlife #mentorship

Dr Pfarelo Matsila (PhD) :
📌 A little reminder: Your methodology chapter must answer THREE important questions:
1️⃣ WHAT are you going to do?
2️⃣ WHY is this approach appropriate for your study?
3️⃣ HOW will you actually do it?
If your methodology chapter cannot answer these questions clearly, it may need some work.
💬 Which part of writing your methodology chapter do you find most challenging? Let's unpack it in Part 2! 👇🏽
