Nine research methods of the thesis

1. survey method

One of the most commonly used methods in thesis research is to collect materials about the actual situation or historical situation of the research object purposefully, planned and systematically. It comprehensively uses historical methods, observation methods and scientific methods, such as talks, questionnaires, case studies and tests, to comprehensively analyze, compare and summarize a large number of collected data, reveal the essence and provide people with regular knowledge. Among them, the most commonly used method is questionnaire survey.

2. Observation method

It refers to a method that researchers directly observe the research object with their own senses and auxiliary tools according to a certain research purpose, research outline or observation table, and summarize the theory or law with universal promotion value. Scientific observation is purposeful, planned, systematic and repeatable.

3. Experimental method

It is a scientific research method to discover and confirm the causal relationship between things by changing the main branch and controlling the research object. Commonly used in chemistry, physics, biology and other natural science majors. It has initiative, control and causality.

4. Literature research methods

Mostly used in theoretical research papers. It is a method to obtain information by investigating documents according to certain research purposes or topics, so as to comprehensively and correctly understand and master the problems to be studied.

5. Case study method

It is a research method to identify a specific object among the research objects, investigate and analyze it, and find out its characteristics and formation process. There are three basic types: personal investigation, that is, investigation and study of a certain person in the organization; Group investigation, that is, to investigate and study an organization or group; Problem investigation is to investigate and study a phenomenon or problem.

6. Quantitative analysis method

It is a method to scientifically reveal the law, grasp the essence, clarify the relationship and predict the development trend of things by analyzing the quantitative relations such as the scale and degree of the research object.

7. Qualitative analysis method

It is a method of thinking and processing all kinds of materials obtained by induction and deduction, analysis, synthesis and abstract generalization, so as to get rid of the rough, get rid of the false and keep the true, understand the essence of things from the outside to the inside and reveal the internal laws.

8. Interdisciplinary research methods

The method of using multidisciplinary theories, methods and achievements to conduct a comprehensive study of a subject as a whole is also called "cross-study method". Researchers are required to have clear and complete research methods and ways of thinking.

9. Empirical research methods

According to the needs of the existing scientific theory and practice, it puts forward the design, uses scientific instruments and equipment, observes, records and measures the changes of accompanying phenomena, and manipulates purposefully and step by step under natural conditions to determine the causal relationship between conditions and phenomena. The focus is on the "what" of the phenomenon itself.
