This document provides an introduction to psychological research. It defines research as a systematic investigation to establish facts through information gathering. The goals of psychological research include description, explanation, prediction, and control. Research methods can be experimental, involving the manipulation of independent variables, or correlational, exploring relationships between non-manipulated variables. Key aspects of the research process are identifying problems, formulating hypotheses, collecting and analyzing data. Ethical considerations like informed consent and protecting participants are also discussed.
This presents the meaning, characteristics, values, and the types of research- according to who does the study, application of the results, research methodology, and data-gathering.
In this ppt Research and Theory explained in detail which covers Meaning of theory, Definition of Theory, Contribution of Research to Theory, Criteria of Theory, Theory and Facts, Role of Theory in Research, Uses of Theory in Research
This PPT contains detailed information on Research Paradigms which covers Functionalist paradigms, Interpretive paradigms, Radical humanist paradigms and Radical structuralist paradigms.

This presents an overview about relevance and significance of statistics as a valid tool in enhancing quality of research. It also touches upon some misuse and abuse of statistics.
Research methods and paradigms is a topic from the subject Methods of Research (FC 402) of the degree Master of Arts in Educational Management, quantitative research, descriptive, survey, developmental, correlational, causal-comparative, experimental, true experimental, quasi-experimental, qualitative research, mixed methods research
Basic but informative information's about research methodology. Research is a basic need for society. Knowingly or unknowingly always we are doing research of anything's anytime. Just we are not aware that we are doing research. So, research is very important part of our life and in our study obviously. So, do research, spread knowledge and learn more and more.
And dear reader, if you find my ppt helpful and informative please give me feedback.
And if you have any suggestion ,then you are always welcome.
Thank you.
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.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

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.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
4. What Research is?
Attempt to achieve systematically and with the
support of data the answer to a question, the
resolution to a problem, or the greater understanding
of a phenomenon
Generation of new information and testing of ideas
5. Scientific Research
Characteristics of scientific findings are:
Empirical
Systematic
Precise
Verifiable
Public
Ethical & Ideological neutrality
Objective
7. Goals Questions asked to
reach the goal
Description What happens?
When and where does it
happen?
How does it happen?
Explanation Why does it happen?
Prediction What will happen next?
Control How can we influence this
behavior or intervene in
this situation?
8. Goals of Psychological Research
Description of social behavior
Are people who grow up in warm climates different from those in
cold climates?
Establish a relationship between cause & effect
Does heat cause higher amounts of aggression?
Develop theories about why people behave the way that
they do
We dislike Duke students to feel better about ourselves
Application
Creating effective therapeutic treatments, more successful
negotiation tactics, and greater understanding amongst groups of
people
9. Purposes of Research
A research can be undertaken for two different
purposes:
To solve a currently existing problem (applied
research)
To contribute to the general body of knowledge in a
particular area of interest (basic/fundamental
research)
10. The Scientific Research Process
Identifying the
problem
Defining the
problem
Formulating
Hypothesis
Data collection
Analyzing the data
Preparing a report
11. The Process of Doing Research
First, select a topic
Good theory:
Has predictive power
Is simple & straightforward
Then, search the literature
Find out what others have done that
may be applicable to your area of
interest
12. The Process of Doing Research
Next, formulate hypotheses
Hypothesis: specific statement of
expectation derived from theory
State the relationship between two variables
Variable: can be any event, characteristic,
condition, or behavior
13. Let’s take a closer look . . .at variables
Dependent variable (outcome variable)
Dependent on the influence of other factor(s)
How do we operationally define?
Independent variable (predictor variable)
Factor(s) that change the outcome variable
How do we operationally define & manipulate?
Control group
14. The Process of Doing Research
Then pick your research method
Experimental vs. co relational (DesignDesign)
Field vs. laboratory (SettingSetting)
Finally, collect & analyze your
data
15. Correlational research
The purpose of correlational research is to discover
relationships between two or more variables.
Relationship means that an individuals status on one
variable tends to reflect his or her status on the other.
16. Cont.
Helps us understand related events, conditions, and
behaviors.
Is there a relationship between educational levels of
farmers and crop yields?
To make predictions of how one variable might
predict another
Can high school grades be used to predict college
grades?
18. Experimental ResearchResearcher manipulates one variable (IV) to see effect
on other variable (DV)
Try to hold everything else constant
True experiments have
Random sampling: selecting Ps randomly from
population
Random assignment: chance assignment to condition
19. Let’s take a closer look . . . at research
methods
Research methods used in psychology:
Observation
Case Study
Tests, Questionnaire, Survey
Experiment
20. Imp. Concepts in Research
Population: any set of individuals (or objects) having some common
observable characteristics.
Sample: the subset of a population which represents the
characteristics of the population.
A sample consists of respondents or subjects
An informant: a person from whom a linguist obtains information
about language, dialect, or culture.
A corpus is a collection of written or spoken material.
A hypothesis is a tentative statement that proposes a possible
explanation to some phenomenon or event
21. Triangulation
Triangulation is an approach to data analysis that
synthesizes data from multiple sources.
a combination of Quantitative & Qualitative
techniques are implied
Ideas stemming from Qualitative research are
tested empirically through Quantitative studies.
Combined findings enable psychologists to design
more meaningful and effective strategies.
22. Major Limitations in
Conducting a Research
Time
Costs
Access to resources
Approval by authorities
Ethical concerns
Expertise
23. Ethics in ResearchShould the study be done?
Value vs. potential cost
APA guidelines
How do we protect Ps?
Informed consent
Confidentiality & anonymity
