I am going to teach a research methodology course next semester for undergraduate students and need good material for this course. I already taught it two times, but need new good resources.
If you haven't already, using emergent behavior for research is a new field capable of opening up a variety of previously unreachable solutions. It has completely changed the way I conduct almost all my research these days, and I don't know why this methodology is not more commonly used. Happy to discuss.
The methodology of different sciences may vary. According to the methodology of legal research I can recommend:
Methodologies of legal Research. Which Kind of Method for What Kind of discipline? / Ed. M. Van Hoecke. Oxford & Portland, Oregon: Hart Publishing, 2011. xv, 294 p.
In congruence with the replies mentioned by Polemer Macalelong Cuarto, Andrew Lizzio and Andrey Skorobogatov, I recommend to check the books and articles of John W Creswell and Joseph Alex Maxwell
Depends on the subjects you are teaching. But you may check the following from the business subjects:

Couple of book authors relating research methodology specially in education segment can have good resources for you. Number 2 and 5 could be best resources for delivering lectures on medium level learners in PG course and 1, 3 and 4 are for beginners who wish to teach research methodology as a subject in UG course.. For undergraduate classes 1, 3 and 4 can be chosen as a reference materials. If curriculum is designed for business related courses like like MBA, post graduate diploma in business and marketing, than this book may not be good resources.
