Seven Days National Workshop on
Recent Trends in Research Methodology
Proposal
A) Review state of art
Introduction:
Research is a systematic and scientific search for pertinent information on
specific topic. The aim of the research is to discover an answer to question through
the application of scientific procedure. These procedures have been developed in
order to increase the likelihood that the information gathered will be relevant to the
question asked. The research undertaken should also reflect a methodology that has
been not used earlier for the same purpose.
Since the last few years the use of the internet for research has become of
age. It is very certain that technological developments and social diffusion of
internet will dramatically shape the future of research. Innovative techniques can
uniquely be administrated to proceed with the recent trends in the research
methodology.
The search for knowledge through objective and scientific method of finding
the solution to a problem in research. Research information is neither intuitive nor
haphazardly gathered. Literally, research means to search- again. It connotes
patient study and scientific investigation wherein the researcher takes another,
more careful look to data to discover all that be known about the subject of study.
Second, if the information generated or data collected and analyzed are to be
accurate, the researcher must be objective. Thus the role of the researcher is to be
detached and impersonal rather than engaging in a biased attempt to prove
preconceived ideas. If bias enters the research process, the value of the data is
considerably reduced. Scientific research methods have to be used by the
researcher to answer the questions at hand. Scientific research methods refer to
techniques and procedures that help the researcher to know and understand the
research problem. The scientific method requires systematic analysis and logical
interpretation of empirical evidence to confirm or disprove prior conceptions. In
research, first testing these prior conceptions or hypothesis and then making
inferences and conclusions about the problem lead to the establishment of general
laws about the problem. Because research cannot provide final and infallible
answer in many a case, there has been a constant effort to devise procedure using
recent innovative techniques and trends that will increase the problems accuracy of
the answer. For the researcher who is preparing to develop tools of research, he or
she not only needs to develop the necessary skills using them but also to
understand the logic behind them. Thus the workshop is titled as recent trends in
research methodology.
