Basic vs applied research
Basic research aims to explore the principles behind social phenomena and enhance understanding through developing theory, focusing on the "what", "why", and "when" of topics using academic terminology. Applied research focuses on applying outcomes practically to improve practices and solve issues, focusing on "how" in a more understandable style, such as improving classroom teaching in a specific school.
General process of social sciences research
This document outlines the general process of social sciences research in 9 steps: 1) Identifying a research problem, 2) Formulating research questions, 3) Reviewing relevant literature, 4) Refining the research questions, 5) Designing the research methodology, 6) Implementing the research design through data collection, 7) Analyzing the collected data, 8) Deriving findings and conclusions from the analysis, and 9) Writing a report of the research. The document provides examples and explanations for each step of the research process.
Abstract writing: what, why, when, how?
This document discusses research abstracts, providing information on what a research abstract is, why it is used, when it should be written, and how it should be structured. It explains that a research abstract gives readers a brief summary of the research background, aims, methods, results and conclusions in about 150-300 words. It helps readers decide whether they need to read the full research paper or thesis. While included early in a research report, the abstract is generally written after completing the research so the researcher can fully summarize the process, outcomes and implications. The document then provides an example of an abstract summarizing a study on perceptions of reflection in a teacher education program.
Research proposal
The document outlines the key components of a research proposal: what, why, how, and when. It explains that a research proposal provides a blueprint for a proposed study, answering what the research is about, why the study is being conducted, how it will be carried out, and when the different stages will take place. Specifically, it should describe the research topic, objectives, and questions; the rationale and significance of the study; the research design, data collection and analysis methods; and a timeline for completion.
Writing research proposal general structure and content
This document outlines the general structure and contents of a research proposal, including an introduction, statement of the problem, research objectives, background literature review, research methodology, expected outcomes, timeline, and references. It provides guidance for writing a research proposal, with key sections to address and the overall framework to follow.
Ontology empistemolgoy and methodology
Ontological, epistemological, and methodological considerations in social science research are discussed in this presentation.
Write a research thesis structure and process
This document outlines the structure and process of writing a research thesis. It defines a research thesis as a comprehensive written report that describes the aims, objectives, rationale, background, methodology, results, and implications of a research project. The general structure includes preliminary pages, an introduction with objectives and rationale, a literature review, methodology, results and findings, and a conclusion with recommendations. The writing process involves drafting, getting feedback from supervisors and peers, reflecting and revising multiple times, and finally proofreading and formatting the final thesis.
Research hypotheses what, why, how
This document discusses research hypotheses. It defines a hypothesis as a tentative explanation of a relationship between variables that is tested through empirical research. Good hypotheses clearly state relationships, use precise language, and represent research objectives. Developing hypotheses gives direction to the research process by providing tentative answers and guiding data collection and analysis. Hypotheses can be descriptive, relational, simple, complex, null, or alternative. The author provides examples to illustrate different types of hypotheses.

Research types in social sciences by design
This document discusses research types in social sciences. It describes research design as referring to the overall structure of a research project, including paradigmatic considerations, research questions and objectives, and data collection and analysis processes. Research methods refer to specific processes for sampling data sources, collecting data through techniques like interviews and questionnaires, validating data, and analyzing data. The three main research designs are quantitative research, qualitative research, and mixed methods research, which make use of quantitative, qualitative, or both quantitative and qualitative data collection and analysis methods, respectively.
Mixed method research design
Mixed-method research combines both qualitative and quantitative data and analysis techniques to explore research questions. It uses both methods simultaneously or sequentially. The rationale is that it brings rigor, richness, and triangulation to data collection and supports findings by using multiple data sources and methods. Researchers must justify using a mixed approach and ensure they have the expertise to deal with its complexities.

Research paradigms in social sciences
The document discusses research paradigms in social sciences. It explains that research should not be viewed solely as a process of data collection, analysis, and findings, but rather should begin with reflecting on the "why" of social phenomena. This reflection shapes our worldview or paradigm, including our views of reality and knowledge. The main paradigms are described as positivism, which sees reality as objective fact, interpretivism, which sees reality as subjective perception, and pragmatism, which sees elements of both objectivity and subjectivity in reality. Our paradigm influences our methodological choices in research.
Research problem
A research problem is a specific issue, difficulty, contradiction, or gap in knowledge that you will aim to address in your research.
Research gap what-why-how
This document discusses identifying research gaps. It explains that a research gap is an unexplored, less explored, or inadequately explored area of knowledge that could add to the field if studied further. Identifying research gaps is important to rationalize and justify a research study. Potential sources of identifying gaps include personal experiences, reviewing previous related studies and their suggested further research, meta-analyses, popular topics on journals, and discussions with supervisors and colleagues. The document provides guidance on what a research gap is, why identifying one is important, and potential ways to find a gap.
Research topic
The document discusses choosing a research topic. It states that the research topic sets the direction of the research project and is the basis for formulating the research question and identifying relevant literature to review. Research topics can stem from ideas, problems, personal interests, current events, or community needs. Factors like personal experiences and availability of data and materials should also be considered. Sources of research topics include personal experiences, non-scholarly sources like news media, and scholarly sources like journals and books. When choosing a topic, it should pose a relevant question and make a specific contribution to existing scholarly literature.
Difference between quantitative and qualitative research
Researchers usually work within a paradigm that is consistent with their world view, and that gives rise to the types of question that excite their curiosity.
The maturity of the concept of interest also may lead to one or the other paradigm: when little is known about a topic, a qualitative approach is often more fruitful than a quantitative one
Mixed method
This document provides an overview of mixed-methods research. It defines mixed-methods research as involving both quantitative and qualitative research methods in a single study to provide a more complete understanding than either method alone. It notes that mixed-methods research started in the 1950s and has become prominent in educational research. Examples of mixed-methods studies are provided. The document also discusses different views on what mixed-methods entails, advantages like clarifying relationships, and challenges such as being time-consuming. Three common mixed-methods research designs - exploratory, explanatory, and triangulation - are outlined.

The document discusses using one-minute papers (OMPs) to assess student learning in library instruction sessions. It collected 342 OMP responses from 10 instruction sessions and analyzed them using Wolstenholme's categorization framework.
Results showed that reflective statements and those with further insight indicated deeper understanding compared to topic named responses. Analysis by course revealed which concepts resonated most. Reflective questions identified topics that challenged students' thinking and areas for instructional improvement.
The author proposes using OMP responses to extend learning beyond one-shot sessions. Responses could be addressed in follow-up emails providing clarification or additional material. Students' reflective questions present opportunities for individual consultations to further dialogue and engagement. OverallPpt on writing reseach paper

The Literature Review Model
Key Vocabulary
· Personal Interest— The subject or question that first inspires interest. This should not be confused with a preliminary topic.
· Research Interest— A personal interest that has been refined by specificity, focus, and vantage point.
· Preliminary Topic— A research interest that has been refined enough to be a potential topic but has not yet been tested by research.
Curiosity is the heart of all research. The origin of most research interests stems from the conflicts, issues, concerns, or beliefs encountered in daily work. We question why specific facets of work succeed while others fail, why some strategies or tactics succeed more than others, or why people think, learn, and act in certain ways. Examples from the workplace that can stimulate research are: What causes the conflict among members of committee work groups? How accurate are standardized test scores in measuring individual student achievement?
Leaders trying to improve organizations seek ways to develop better programs, to improve working relationships, and to motivate people to complete specific tasks. They might ask, for example, what is the recipe for creating successful change? Is having a forceful leader a precondition for a successful group? How does the principal guide the teaching staff to improve student performance? Does success come from “telling it like it is”? Each of these questions can initiate the need to seek answers from others, to do research.
Examine this idea called research interest. Notice in the preceding examples that the i ...

Conceptual and theoretical frameworks difference
This document discusses conceptual and theoretical frameworks in research. A conceptual framework links the main concepts in a study, such as the relationship between motivation and learning. A theoretical framework analyzes and interlinks relevant theories, such as theories of learning and motivation, to explore the research questions. Theoretical frameworks are used to examine how theories drive the objectives of a study, like investigating the impact of teacher motivation on student learning. Concepts, theories, and their interrelationships comprise conceptual and theoretical frameworks.
Apa citation and referencing
This document provides an overview of APA citation and referencing guidelines according to the 7th edition of the APA Publication Manual. It discusses the American Psychological Association, the purpose of citation and referencing, and the APA style. Examples are given for different types of in-text citations, such as citations for one, two, or three+ authors, organizations as authors, and secondary sources. Guidelines are also provided for referencing various document types, including books, book chapters, journal articles, theses/dissertations, newspapers/magazines, and other sources like blogs, websites, and personal communications.
Sentence types by function
The document discusses the four main types of sentences: declarative sentences that state or describe information, interrogative sentences that ask questions, imperative sentences that give commands or instructions, and exclamatory sentences that express emotions or feelings. Examples are provided for each sentence type to illustrate their purpose or function in communication. The document was written by Dr. Muhammad Ilyas Khan of the Department of Education at Hazara University Mansehra.
Sentence types by structure
This document defines sentences and describes their structure and types. It defines a sentence as a group of words that expresses a complete thought with a subject and predicate. Simple sentences contain one clause, compound sentences contain two main clauses joined by a conjunction, and complex sentences contain a main clause and subordinate clause. Sentences can also be declarative, interrogative, imperative, or exclamatory depending on their function in expressing a statement, asking a question, giving a command, or expressing strong feelings.
Punctuation in English: an introduction
The document discusses punctuation in English. It defines punctuation as the process of arranging and structuring words to make texts clearer and meaningful. It then provides examples of unpunctuated versus punctuated texts. The rest of the document discusses common punctuation marks used in English, including their general uses. It covers punctuation marks such as periods, question marks, exclamation marks, commas, semicolons, colons, apostrophes, quotation marks, hyphens, dashes, parentheses, brackets, ellipses, and slashes.
Parts of speech
This document defines and provides examples of the nine main parts of speech in English: noun, pronoun, adjective, verb, adverb, preposition, conjunction, interjection, and article/determiner. It was written by Dr. Muhammad Ilyas Khan of the Department of Education at Hazara University Mansehra and defines each part of speech and provides an example using the name "Ali" to illustrate how each part of speech is used.
Functional English: an introduction
Functional English refers to using the English language in a practical sense for communication purposes like listening, speaking, reading and writing. It focuses on using English in routine life. To use English functionally requires having a good vocabulary, knowledge of grammar rules, parts of speech, tenses and good comprehension skills. The process of developing functional English involves building vocabulary, learning grammar, and polishing the four skills through regular listening, speaking, reading and writing activities in English.
Qualitative research definition and characteristics
The document discusses qualitative research, its definition and characteristics. It notes that while quantitative research originated in the natural sciences and focuses on measurement, statistics and generalization, qualitative research emerged in the social sciences due to difficulties quantifying human behavior. Qualitative research aims to understand phenomena through context and interpretation rather than testing hypotheses. It is naturalistic, flexible and inductive, beginning with data collection before developing theories. Researchers get personally involved through long-term study of small, purposeful samples and analyze textual rather than numerical data.
Statement of problem
This presentation is about an elaboration of the definition, rationale, and structure, and content of PROBLEM STATEMENT as an important component of the research reports.
Literature review in text citation
This document discusses in-text citations which are used to authenticate sources of information included in literature reviews. There are different referencing styles like APA, MLA, and Chicago. In-text citations refer to sources inside the document and reference lists provide full details of citations at the end. In-text citations are used for direct quotes, paraphrasing others' work, or briefly mentioning other authors' ideas. They involve mentioning the author's name and year of publication. Long quotes are indented without quotes. Paraphrasing rewords others' ideas into one's own words.
Conceptual framework: an example
This document presents a conceptual framework for teacher education. It contrasts a technical focus approach where teachers are seen as classroom-focused subject experts who employ behaviorist teaching methods, versus a reflective practice approach. Reflective practice views teachers as agents of social change who critically examine the socio-economic relevance and aims of education to transform outcomes through moral craftsmanship. The framework positions reflective practice as transforming teachers into professionals who consider the broader impacts of education.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
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.
