Abstract

This article explores effective strategies for teaching research methodology to master’s students who are required to write a 5,000 to 7,000-word mini-dissertation as their capstone project. Through a comprehensive analysis of teaching approaches, including traditional classroom instruction, online and hybrid models, and experiential learning, this study identifies best practices for facilitating students’ mastery of research skills. By examining pedagogical theories and empirical evidence, the article provides actionable recommendations for educators. Additionally, it addresses common challenges faced by students and offers solutions to support their success. The implications of these findings for curriculum design and the future of graduate education are discussed.
