American sociologist

Inculcates thinking &

promotes logical habits of

thinking and organization

Provides basis for

Gov policies

Solving operational &

planning problems of

business and industry

Keeping in view several

Get intellectual joy of

doing some creative work

Creating values for

society

Get respectability

Research

Approaches

Inferential Method Experimental Method Simulation Method

Logic -> Conclusion = trueBasis = true -> Untested conclusionKnown premises -> Testable conclusionPremises

Generality general -> specificSynthesis from specific -> generalGeneral from

General the interactions between the specific &

general

Use of data

To evaluate propositions or hypotheses related to

Theory

Falsification/

Verification of the

theory

Create and build theory

combine existing theory, where appropriate, to construct new theory or modify existing theory

Research Approaches

Types of Research

Determine essence of

phenomena through

specific data, including

systematic collection &

presentation of data

Applied

Scientific research-> Real-world problem

Fundemental

Improving scientificknowledge -> Gathermore info -> Undestandphenomena

Quantitative

Applicable to phenomenathat can be expressed interms of quantity

Criteria of

Good Research

SYSTEMATIC LOGICAL

EMPIRICAL REPLICABLE

PROCESS

2 Extensive

literature survey

Writting down brief summaryUndertaking extensive literatur survey connected w/ problem

3 Developing

the hypothesis

Starting inclear terms working hypothesis or hypotheses -> Delimiting area of research & keep researching on right track

Discussing about problems' origin and seeking solutions

Examining data & recordReviewing similar studiesExecuting personal investigation on a limited scale to secure greater insights

4 Preparing

the Research design

Stating conceptual struture within which research would be conducted

-> Providing relevant evidence w/ minimal resources Preparing research design:

- Obtainability of info

- Competence of researchers

- Organization & reasoning leading to the selection of means of obtaining info

- Time, cost factor, resources available for the research

5 Determining

sample design

Deciding ways of selecting sample; different research may

require various methods of sampling

6 Collecting

the Data

Collecting data through survey and/or experiment, based on thenature of investigation, objectives, resources, available time, anddesired degree of accuracy, as well as ability & experience of

researchers

Executing the project in a systematic manner and in timeKeeping the survey as much as realistic as possibleArranging properly interviews, training interviews, ensuring thesurvey isunder statistical control, coding machine-processed data

7 Execution

of the project

8 Analysis

of Data

Establishing categoriesCondensing data into groups & tables; classifying data into categoriesCoding = transforming categories of data to symbols that may be tabulated and counted

Editing = improving quality of data & codingAnalysis work = applying well defined statistical formulates; analyzing collected data

with statistical mesures

Testing earlier formulated hypothesesResultinh in accepting or rejecting the hypothesis

9 Hypothesis

testing
