Concept, nature and scope of research in social sciences.
Types of research fundamental, applied and action
research, experimental and non- experimental research.
Variables, types and their measurement. Selection and
formulation of research problem.
Hypothesis– importance, selection criteria (quality of
workable hypothesis), formulation and testing of
hypothesis.
What is Research and Why Do It ?
 
What?
 
  
Investigation of a problem in scientific manner.
 
The systematic , rigorous investigation of a situation or
problem in order  to generate new knowledge or validate existing
knowledge.
 
Why?
Create, have fun, play
 
Invent, be on leading edge of discovery, be a scientist
 
Transfer discoveries to benefit society
 
Work in interesting and rewarding careers
Choosing a Research Area
 
Criteria
Exciting and interesting area to you
Important problems in area
Researcher’s aptitude- visualize the problem
 Researchable
 Feasible ( research competencies, financial consideration ,
time requirement & administrative consideration )

Research Topic and Research Statement
 
 
If there is a knowledge gap in an area that need to be
investigated, the research problem identifies this gap.
Where as the 
research topic 
is simply a broad area of
interest, the 
research problem 
 identifies what is
problematic about that topic.
 
Research Statement: A statement specifies exactly what
is being studied.
 
Ex.- 
Jaunpur janpad ke snatak star ke kshatro me rastriya
surksha ke prati dristikon ka  ek adhyayan
.
Definitions of Research Problem
 
 A research problem is a discrepancy between what one
knows and ought to know to solve a problem.
 
 Generally speaking , a problem exists when there is no
available answer to some question.
 
 A problem is a interrogative statement that asks- what
relation exists between two or more variables.
 
 A situation or circumstance that requires a solution to be
described, explained, or predicted. It is an unsatisfactory
situation that wants you to confront.
Where do research questions come from?
 
                          Develop an idea
 
Select a general area- Where do research questions come from?
 Observations
  From theory
  Review of literature
  Creativity
  Historical facts
  Suggestion for further research
  Serendipity
  Consideration of existing practices and needs- why & how ?
    Take courses, attend seminars
      Talk to professors, visitors, other students
       Learn about yourself, what you like, etc.
       Solve some research problems
 
Review of literature
 
There may be areas , as revealed by a dearth of  available
literature  on the topic that remain unexplored.
 
Review of literature will also help to identify what is known and
what is not known about the research problem. Therefore, the
research problem could be specified and stated at this point.
 
 
 
 
 
 
From prior researches
 
 Continuing research lines – a related series of studies
 
    
Replications & extensions
     
No study can stand by itself, must be replicated for confidence in the
results
 
   Types of replications
 
            
Direct replication 
– “
exact replication.” Purpose is to determine
reliability:
Reliability = how consistent or replicable are the research findings
?
 
 
Systematic replication (extension
)
at least one aspect of the study
 is different, e.g., different subject population, setting, variations in
the independent variable, etc.
 
Creativity
 
 
Creativity – using your imagination to find
new ways to answer questions.
Elements of  Creativity-
Novelty or originality- uncommon
Fluency-how many
Flexibility-how many types
Elaboration
Suggestion for further research
 
Every research report suggests areas for continued
study
 
 
Kinds of the problem
 
   Philosophical Problems
   Historical Problems
   Survey type Problems
   Theoretical Problems
   Practical Problems
   Co relational Problems
   Experimental Problems
 
Writing the statement of the research problem
 
   
“A Well said problem is half done.”
 
Follow the rules while writing research problem:
 
   should be pin –pointed
 
    not ambiguous
 
   should be clear and understandable
 
    define key words
 
 
 
 
The problem statement could be done in two forms:
 
Declarative:
 
The relationship between the nurses
 job
satisfaction and tendency to leave work
 
Interrogative: 
 
Is there a relationship between the
nurses
 job satisfaction and tendency to leave work?

  2. Topics covered Concept, nature and scope of research in social sciences. Types of research fundamental, applied and action research, experimental and non- experimental research. Variables, types and their measurement. Selection and formulation of research problem. Hypothesis importance, selection criteria (quality of workable hypothesis), formulation and testing of hypothesis.

  3. What is Research and Why Do It ? What? Investigation of a problem in scientific manner. The systematic , rigorous investigation of a situation or problem in order to generate new knowledge or validate existing knowledge. Why? Create, have fun, play Invent, be on leading edge of discovery, be a scientist Transfer discoveries to benefit society Work in interesting and rewarding careers

  4. Choosing a Research Area Criteria Exciting and interesting area to you Important problems in area Researcher s aptitude- visualize the problem Researchable Feasible ( research competencies, financial consideration , time requirement & administrative consideration ) Significant

  5. Research Topic and Research Statement If there is a knowledge gap in an area that need to be investigated, the research problem identifies this gap. Where as the research topic is simply a broad area of interest, the research problem identifies what is problematic about that topic. Research Statement: A statement specifies exactly what is being studied. Ex.- Jaunpur janpad ke snatak star ke kshatro me rastriya surksha ke prati dristikon ka ek adhyayan.
