1. INTRODUCTION TO RESEARCH
J. JANARDHAN

2. WHAT IS RESEARCH ?
 In common parlance refers to a search for knowledge.
 It’s a scientific and systematic search for knowledge.
 Its an art of scientific investigation
 It’s a voyage of discovery
 Pursuit of truth
with the help of study,
observation,
comparison and experiment

3. WHAT IS RESEARCH?
 Research comprises
defining and redefining problems,
formulating hypothesis
collection or evaluating data
Reaching conclusion

4. OBJECTIVES OF RESEARCH
 To find out the truth
i. To gain familiarity with a phenomenon
(Exploratory research)
ii. To portray accurately the characteristics
(Descriptive research)
iii. To determine the frequency
(Diagnostic research)
iv. To test the casual relationship
(Hypothesis testing research)

5. RESEARCH APPROACHES
 There are two basic approaches
i. Quantitative approach
ii. Qualitative approach
 Quantitative research determines the
characteristics in-terms of numbers
 Qualitative research is concerned to the attitudes,
opinions and behavior.

6. RESEARCH PROCESS

7. FORMULATING THE PROBLEM
 Formulating the general topic into specific topic
 Understanding the problem
 Narrow it down the concept
 Phrase the problem in operational term
 The statement is of basic importance
 It determines the data

8. REVIEW THE LITERATURE
 Undertake the extensive literature survey
 Official resources must be considered in first
e.g.: Academic Journals, Conference Proceedings, Govt. reports, books etc.,
 One source leads to another
 The earlier studies should be carefully examined
 A good library will be of a great help
e.g.: Internet, Google scholar etc.;

9. DEVELOPMENT OF HYPOTHESIS
 State the problem in clear terms
 Working hypothesis is tentative assumption
 It sets focal point for research
 Tests must be conducted to analysis the data

10. DEVELOPMENT OF HYPOTHESIS
 Can develop the W. H by
Discussion
Examine the data
Review the similar works
Exploratory personal investigation

11. RESEARCH DESIGN .
 R.D. facilitates research to be as efficient
 Possible to get maximum data
 R. D. must be
i. Exploration
ii. Description
iii. Diagnosis
iv. Experimentation


12. DETERMINING SAMPLE DESIGN.
 Constitute a ‘Universe’ or ‘Population’
 Enumerate the all the items in the population
 Its definite plan for collecting data
 Deliberate sampling Random Sampling
 Systematic Sampling Stratified Sampling
 Quota Sampling Cluster sampling
 Multi stage sampling Sequential Sampling

13. DATA COLLECTION
 By Observation
 Personal interview
 Telephone interview
 Mailing the questionnaire
 Through schedule

14. EXCUTION
 It can give you chance to correct the action
 It saves your time and money
 It saves your energy in research

15. ANALYSIS
 Must be analysed the raw data into useful
 Coding and Tabulation are the part of analysis
 Generalisation & interpretation the data

16. REPORTING THE THESIS
I. INTRODUCTION
i. Statement
ii. Objectives
ii. Methodology
iv. Scope of the study/ importance of the study
II. SUMMERY
