Introduction to research methodology.pptxahmedmcjdu
Introduction to research methodology. Research methodology is a structured and scientific approach used to collect, analyze, and interpret quantitative or qualitative data to answer research questions or test hypotheses. A research methodology is like a plan for carrying out research and helps keep researchers on track by limiting the scope of the research. Several aspects must be considered before selecting an appropriate research methodology, such as research limitations and ethical concerns that may affect your research.
The research methodology section in a scientific paper describes the different methodological choices made, such as the data collection and analysis methods, and why these choices were selected. The reasons should explain why the methods chosen are the most appropriate to answer the research question. A good research methodology also helps ensure the reliability and validity of the research findings. There are three types of research methodology—quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-method, which can be chosen based on the research objectives.
Moreover, A research methodology describes the techniques and procedures used to identify and analyze information regarding a specific research topic. It is a process by which researchers design their study so that they can achieve their objectives using the selected research instruments. It includes all the important aspects of research, including research design, data collection methods, data analysis methods, and the overall framework within which the research is conducted. While these points can help you understand what is research methodology, you also need to know why it is important to pick the right methodology.
By the end of this presentation you should be able to:
Describe different types of data collection techniques
Demonstrate dimensions , type of observations and how to prepare and conduct observation
Understand the practical communication skills for interviews to ask good questions , probe and follow up questions .
Able to prepare for interview
Understand the characteristics and uses of focus group discussions
Conduct focus group discussions

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter 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.

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.

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.

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.

5. ::Develop Academic Personal Branding :: [ Outcome of Soft Skills]
[Results – Quality Research Work]
Appropriate branding needs to attract the right people and invest time money,
experience, knowledge, and commitment.
Define your brand
First and foremost, you need to decide what you want your personal
brand to convey about you.
Your personal brand should represent something that is unique to you,
your personality, your passions, your talents and your dream goal.
Ask yourself:
What do I want to be known for?
If you Google your own name, are you happy with what the search
results show about you and your work?
How can I promote my research and increase its visibility?
6. A Researcher should have good
Communication Skills
Effective communication enhances your professional success
• No matter how interesting the content is that you are sharing, if your
communication skills are not up to scratch, it’s often an uphill struggle to
inform, influence or inspire others.
When you communicate well, you motivate others to act
• Being able to convey your message with confidence and clarity
significantly impacts your ability to influence and persuade others to
follow your lead.
• Whether you are looking to inspire your colleagues to collaborate on a
tough project, win stakeholder support for a new Spin Off’s idea, or
persuade other Institutions to buy your latest research’s solution/service,
how you present your message is critical to your success.
7. "A blow with a word strikes deeper than a blow with a sword"
Robert Burton
“Not only is it important to ask questions and find the
answers, as a scientist I felt obligated to communicate with the
world what we were learning.”
― Stephen Hawking, Brief Answers to the
Big Questions
“If you just communicate, you can get by, but if you
communicate skilfully, you can work miracles”
Jim Rohn
8. “
Communication is not just one thing. It is a complex process by
which people manage and create research messages.
High-level communication skills can fast-track your research
progression
Never before has the discipline of soft-skills/communication been
more exciting, diverse and innovative than today.
Academic research and training are directly affected by these
developments.

The term communication is derived from the latin word "communis“ ,
means - ‘to share’ or ‘to be in relation with’.
Communication is a process by which information is exchanged between individuals
through a common system of symbols & signs of behavior.
- Webster’s Dictionary
Communication is interchange of thoughts, opinions or information by speech,
writing or signs.
Robert Andersion
An understanding CommunicationProcess
10. Referent:
• A referent motivates the sender (or receiver) to share information (message, objects, sounds, sights,
time schedule, ideas, perceptions, sensation, emotion, odour, etc.) that may initiate communication .
Sender:
• A sender is a person who encodes & sends the message to the expected receiver through an
appropriate channel.
• A sender is the source of the message that is generated to be delivered to the receiver after
appropriate stimulus from the referent.
Message:
• The message is the content of communication & may contain verbal, nonverbal or symbolic
language.
• Perception & personal factors of the sender & receiver may sometimes distort this element & the
intended outcome of communication may not be achieved. For ex, the same message may be
communicated or perceived differently by two individuals.
Channel:
• A channel is a medium through which a message is sent or received between two or more people.
• Several channels can be used to send or receive the message, i.e seeing, hearing, touching,
smelling, & tasting.
• While selecting channels of communication, several factors must be considered: availability of
channel()s , purpose, suitability, types of receivers, types of message, preference of sender &
receivers, communication skills of the sender, cost, etc.
11. channels of communication :
Visual channel: Facial expression, body language, posture, gestures, pictures & written
words, electronic mails, mass media, etc.
Auditory channel: Spoken words, sounds, telephone or mobile communications, delivering
audio content (radio, voicemail), etc.
Tactile channel: Touch sensations, therapeutic touch, etc.
Combined channel: Audiovisual media, consoling a person with touch & spoken words.
Receiver:
• A receiver is an individual or a group of individuals intended to receive, decode & interpret
the message sent by the sender/source of message.
• A receiver also known as decoder.
• He is expected to have the ability & skills to receive, decode & interpret the message.
Feedback:
• It is a return message sent by the receiver to the sender.
• It is most essential element of the communication process as it shows that the receiver has
understood the primary message sent by the sender & the communication process is now
consider complete.
• A successful communication must be a two-way process where the sender sends the
message & receives feedback from the receiver.
• These feedback could be verbal & nonverbal.
12. An Overview of Research Process
Word ‘Research’ comprises of two words
= Re+Search. It means to search again
• Research means a systematic investigation or activity to gain new knowledge of the
already existing facts.
• Research is an intellectual activity.
• It is responsible for bringing to light new knowledge.
• It is also responsible for correcting the present mistakes, removing existing
misconceptions and adding new learning to the existing fund of knowledge.
• Research is also considered as the application of scientific method in solving the
problems.
• It is a systematic, formal and intensive process of carrying on the scientific method of
analysis.
• There are many ways of obtaining knowledge.
• They are intuition, revelation, and authority, logical manipulation of basic assumptions,
informed guesses, observation, and reasoning by analogy.
• One of the branches of research known as empirical research is highly goal-oriented
technique.
13. Process of defining the Research Problem
• State your research problem / research topic.
• Are there any sub-problems?
• What is the background (literature review) on this problem?
• What is good about tackling this problem?
• Why should we be interested in answering the research question?
• Discuss your problem with peers and experts.
• Have you looked at this problem from all sides to minimize unwanted
surprises?
• Think through the process. Are you capable of addressing the issue?
Can you foresee any pitfalls in data collection and analysis? What tools
are available for you to use?
• What research procedure will you follow? (RM)
1. Search for relevant
literature
2. Evaluate sources
3. Identify themes,
debates and gaps
4. Outline the structure
5. Write your literature
review
14. Steps in
Research Design
1. Choose a Topic.
2. Literature Survey
3. Focus research question.
4. Design the study.
5. Collect the data.
(self-completion questionnaire or a structured interview)

15. Some Ethical Issues
• Informed Consent.
• Respect for privacy.
• Confidentiality and anonymity of data.
• What is permissible to ask?
• No harm to researchers or subjects.
• No deceit or lying in the course of research.
• Consequences of publication.
16. It is not always easy for young researchers to anticipate where ethical
issues might emerge while designing their research project.
So what are some questions that a researcher might consider?
1. A first premise for a researcher is to ‘do no harm’.
2. Researcher may try to anticipate any potential ethical issues,
unexpected adverse effects may occur, in which case, the study
should be halted or modified.
3. Researchers should also take into consideration how they are going
to ensure privacy and confidentiality of the participants.
4. GREIP team research ethics protocol
Before embarking on any research project, the researcher and/or
research team will carefully consider whether the study can cause
potential harm to anyone involved. If the researcher identifies any
possible ill effects, the team will seek the best approach to minimize
these effects.
17. 5. The researcher and/or research team will always obtain informed consent
from all parties involved in the research prior to implementing the research
project.
6. The researcher and/or research team will ensure confidentiality of all
research subjects, including data stemming.
7. In the case of compilation of personal data from the informants, data will
only be gathered to further the study and will not be used for any other
purpose.
8. Processed data (anonymized, codified, etc.) may be used for academic or
educational purposes such as publications, conferences, teaching materials
and policy documents only if this has been included in the written consent
form signed by the informants.
9. In the case of international research collaboration in which the researcher or
a member of the research team is the lead investigator, the Ethics
Statements of all the countries involved in collecting and handling the data
be considered.
