 +
 +1. Understanding IGNOU's Research Requirements
 +
 +
 +Before choosing your techniques, consider IGNOU project deadline ([[https://elclasificadomx.com/author/dwaynehills/|elclasificadomx.com]])'s specific requirements:
 +

 +
 +A. Statistical Analysis
 +
 +Descriptive: Averages, percentages, distributions
 +Inferential: Regression testing, hypothesis testing
 +Tools: Excel, SPSS, specialized statistical software
 +
 +
 +B. Thematic Analysis
 +
 +Coding: Identifying patterns in narrative responses
 +Interpretation: Drawing insights from observations
 +Tools: NVivo, manual analysis methods
 +
 +
 +7. Frequent Research Mistakes to Avoid
 +
 +
 +Incompatibility: Selecting methods that don't match with research questions
 +Data Problems: Too small respondent size, biased selection
 +Instrument Flaws: Badly constructed interview guides
 +Ethical Violations: Neglecting consent requirements
 +Analysis Errors: Misinterpreting data, overgeneralizing findings
 +
 +
 +8. Selecting the Appropriate Methods for Your Subject
 +
 +
 +Evaluate these factors when deciding your approach:
 +
 +
 +
 +Nature of Research: Exploratory objectives
 +Available Resources: Budget, availability to data
