This chapter discusses research methods and includes sections on design, data collection, and data analysis. It describes qualitative and quantitative research designs. For design, it explains that qualitative research is loosely designed before fieldwork while quantitative research is pre-structured with hypotheses. For data collection, qualitative uses interview guides and open-ended questions, while quantitative uses questionnaires and closed-ended questions. For data analysis, qualitative uses content analysis and quantitative uses SPSS. The chapter also discusses using mixed methods and considering ethical issues in data collection procedures.
Research vs research methodology - Research Methodology - Manu Melwin Joymanumelwin
Research methods may be understood as all those methods/ techniques that are used for conduction of research.
Research methods or techniques, thus, refer to the methods the researchers use in performing research operations.
This intensive course will provide an opportunity for participants to establish and/or advance their understanding of qualitative research through critical exploration of research approaches and methods. This course will take an academic-based fieldwork approach which will enhance participants’ skills to plan and execute qualitative research in a specific context. Participants will use theoretical underpinnings to begin, to critically review literature relevant to the field of study, analyse it and then present it in written and verbal form.

RESEARCH APPROACHES AND DESIGNS
A Research design is the framework or guide used for the planning, implementation and analysis of a study. It is a systematic plan of what is to be done, how it will be done and how the data will be analyzed.
ELEMENTS OF RESEARCH DESIGN
Research design is also known as a blueprint thatresearchers select to carry out their research study,sometimes research design is used interchangeably withthe term methodology. Research design includes majorelements like:
The Approach
The Population, Sample and Sampling Technique
The Time, Place and Sources of Data collection
Tools and methods of data collection
Methods of data analysis
The presentation would help post graduate students, research scholars, academicians and NGOs involved in research to understand research methodology in a simple manner.
To have a clear understanding of research methodology you can view the upcoming presentations which will be uploaded soon.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2. Introduction
• In this chapter proposal deals with methods for the
research.
• It will focus on:
What type of data will be needed (design)
How to get the data (data collection)
What to do with data once collected (data analysis)
3. Design
• Qualitative
• Unfolding Research
• Research is loosely
designed before going
to field
• Eg: loose/no hypothesis
• Research is designed
during field work
• Quantitative
• Pre-Structured Research
• Research is designed
before going to field
• Eg: hypothesis,
variables, conceptual
framework
4. Data Collection
• Qualitative
• Interview Guide
• Open ended
questions
• Quantitative
• Questionnaire
• Close ended
questions
6. Qualitative, Quantitative or Both
• Logic of a study including the way research question
or hypothesis are framed clearly shows whether it is
qualitative or quantitative
• That logic flows into the design, data collection and
data analysis.
7. • Example:
• Experimental comparison (cause and effect is
checked) it would be quantitative
• Ethnography (cultural significance of behavior) it
would be qualitative.
• Or mixed methods
• Example:
• Quantitative survey and also qualitative in-depth
interviews.
8. Design
• Research design accommodate both
qualitative and quantitative approaches.
• Research design means connecting
research question to data i-e what tools
and procedures will be used.
• Research design is the plan that tell how
research will be conducted.
9. Strategy
• A careful plain for achieving a particular
goal.
• Quantitative research design vary from
interventionist to non interventionist.
• Qualitative generally non interventionist.
12. Data Collection And Procedure
• How will the data be collected?
• Instruments – quantitative data
• Quantitative data collection instruments are
questionnaires, standardized measuring
instruments
• Instruments – qualitative data
13. Qualitative data are most likely to be words,
which we get by asking (interviewing), watching
(observation) or reading (documents)
14. Ethical issues
Data collection procedures need to be organized
both to maximize the quality of data, and to deal
with the related issues of access and ethics.
•Informed consent
•Privacy
•Ownership of data and conclusions
•Honesty and trust
•Harm and risk
