Research Methodology
1) Foundation of Research: Meaning, Objectives, Motivation, Uslty. Concept af theory, empiricism,
deductive and inductive theory. Characteristics of scent method - understanding the language of
research Concept, Construct, defini, Variable, Research Process
2) Problem dentifiation & Formulation: defnson and formulatieg the research problem, Necessity
‘of defining the problem, importance of Iterature review in defising 9 problem, Research Question =
Investigation Question - Measurement issues - Hypothesis ~ Quelties of 2 good hypothesis ~ Null
hypothesis & Alternative Hypothesis. Hypothesis Test - Logic &mportance
3) Research Design: Concept and Importance in Reseach » Features of 9 good research design
Exploratory Research Design» Concopt, Types and uses, Descriptive Research Design = concep, types
and uses. Exper mental Design - Concept of independent & Dependent variables.
4) Qualitative and Quantitative Research: Cualtatve ~ Quantitative Research - Concept of
‘measurement, causality, generalization, replication. Merging the tao approaches,

Non Response. Characterscs of a good sample. Proabilty Simple - Simple Random Sample,
Systematic Sample, Stratified Random Sample & Mult-stage sampling Determiningsize ofthe sample
Practical eonsideraton in sampling and sample sie
18) Data Analysis: data Preparation ~ Univariate analysis (requency tables, bor chats, ple chats,
percentages), Sivar'ate analysis - Cross tabulations and Ch:squae rest ncuding testing hypothesis of
association,
9} Interpretation of Data and Paper Wiig: Layout of a Research Paes, loumalsin Computer Sclence,
Limpact factor of journals, when and where to publish? Ethical issues lated to publishing Plagiarism
and Sef Papas. Use of Encylopedia, Research Guides, Handrook ete, Academe databases for
concerned dsciping
