Answer:

The research methodology section of your dissertation should include details about how you conducted your research and why you chose a particular method of research. In other words, it must include the methodology used in your research as well as the reasoning behind it. In your case, you can explain why you chose the survey methodology for your dissertation.

The research methodology section must include the following:

  • Research objectives
  • Rationale for choosing the research approach
  • Rationale and description of data collection and data analysis tools used
  • Sample techniques used in the survey
  • Description of how each data collection tool was administered
  • Description of data sources or participants of your survey
  • Discussion of the limitations of the study
