The authors felt during their several years of teaching experience that students fail to understand the books written on Research Methodology because generally they are written in technical language. Since this course is not taught before the Master’s degree, the students are not familiar with its vocabulary, methodology and course contents. The authors have made an attempt to write it in very non- technical language. It has been attempted that students who try to understand the research methodology through self-learning may also find it easy. The chapters are written with that approach. Even those students who intend to attain high level of knowledge of the research methodology in social sciences will find this book very helpful in understanding the basic concepts before they read any book on research methodology. This book is useful those students who offer the Research Methodology at Post Graduation and M.Phil. Level. This book is also very useful for Ph.D. Course Work examinations.

Research methodology is a way to systematically solve the research problem. It may be understood as a science of studying how research is done scientifically. In it we study the various steps that are generally adopted by a researcher in studying his research problem along with the logic behind them. It is necessary for the researcher to know not only the research methods/techniques but also the methodology. Researchers not only need to know how to develop certain indices or tests, how to calculate the mean, the mode, the median or the standard deviation or chi-square, how to apply particular research techniques, but they also need to know which of these methods or techniques, are relevant and which are not, and what would they mean and indicate and why. Researchers also need to understand the assumptions underlying various techniques and they need to know the criteria by which they can decide that certain techniques and procedures will be applicable to certain problems and others will not. All this means that it is necessary for the researcher to design his methodology for his problem as the same may differ from problem to problem.

The most important of research methodology in research study it is necessary for a researcher to design a methodology for the problem chosen and systematically solves the problem. Formulation of the research problem is to decide on a broad subject area on which has thorough knowledge and second important responsibility in research is to compare findings, it is literature review plays an extremely important role. The literature review is part of the research process and makes a valuable contribution to almost every operational step. A good research design provides information concerning with the selection of the sample population treatments and controls to be imposed and research work cannot be undertaken without sampling. Collecting the data and create data structure as organizing the data, analyzing the data help of different statistical method, summarizing the analysis, and using these results for making judgments, decisions and predictions. Keywords: Research Problem, Economical Plan, Developing Ideas, Research Strategy, Sampling Design, Theoretical Procedures, Experimental Studies, Numerical Schemes, Statistical Techniques.

The Scientific Method
Who really uses it?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_7sSuhQ1_24
Steps in the Scientific Method
Thomas Edison wasn’t having a simple ordinary day and simply stumbled upon a source of light that would change the
George Eastman didn’t just wake up one day and decide to invent a camera to take a picture of a bird...
He invented the camera!
Inventor of the light bulb!
No! Both scientists planned their experiments for years using a process called the “Scientific Method”
The “Scientific Method” is one of the ways scientists organize their ideas to develop a scientific plan to answer a question.
Step 1:Question
The question that you are trying to solve. This might be based on an observation you have made, or something you have wondered about.
Many times scientists struggle writing the exact question or problem they would like to solve.
Usually, they think of problems that have a connection to their own life.
In 1796 Edward Jenner wanted to find a cure for smallpox, a disease that
was killing hundreds of thousands of people, including his family
members. He knew that several women in his community that worked on dairy farms
were catching a disease called “cowpox”, which was not a serious disease. He also noticed that none of these women ever got smallpox, which is a fatal disease.
He decided to experiment and intentionally infect a young man with cowpox. Forty days after giving the young man a shot of the cowpox disease, he concluded that the boy was free from ever getting smallpox.
Therefor, he had invented the smallpox vaccination and cure.
Stop and Talk:
What might Edward’s question have been before beginning his experiment?
(mini bio of Edward Jenner) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qdrpujSHfsU
Step2:Research
Before Madame Curry completed her final experiment on radioactivity in 1910; she researched book after book looking for information of what others scientists had concluded about uranium in their studies.
Research helps us understand what might happen during our experiments and what sort of caution we should take as we work.
There are lots of ways to get more information about topics we want to study, brainstorm a list of 5 places you can look for information.
(mini bio of Madame Curry) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZEV4KJBJvEg
Step 3:Hypothesis
Based on research and experience, scientists write a hypothesis which states what they THINK will happen when they perform their experiment.
Create a hypothesis for each of these questions:
1. What type of dishsoap is the best at cleaning greasy dishes?
I think___________because______________________.
2. What candy bar weighs the most?
3. What types of flowers are most bees attracted to?
Step 4:Experiment
Ben Franklin hypothesized that lightning was a source of electricity, and that the electrical effect of lightening might be transferable to another object which could be recognized as electricity.
His most famous test of this hypothesis was performed when he attached a key to a silk string at the end of a kite, which he flew outside during a dark day. The results of his test were very important to our knowledge of how electricity is transferred today.
(For more information on this experiment watch until minute 2:00)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TmdyKiwMJ78
In order to test your hypothesis, you will need to create and perform an experiment.
A good experiment will always include the following:
- List of materials
- List of procedures
- Variables -These are the things you change in your experiment
- A plan for recording and organizing data collected
Step 5:Analyze the Data
After you have completed your
experiment, you will analyze (study)
the results to determine if the hypothesis
should be accepted or rejected.
It is important to organize your results in order to better understand them. You should make a table, a chart, or a graph to share your data.
Here is an example of the data
collected from a student who wanted
to determine what caused soda to
cool the quickest. Here are the
average temperatures of the soda
after 30 minutes.
Make a list of three things you notice about the data given.
Step 6:Conclusion
After analyzing your data, you should be able to decide whether your hypothesis should be accepted (it was correct) or rejected (it was not) while providing evidence for your decision.
In your conclusion you should:
- Restate your hypothesis
- State if the hypothesis should be accepted or rejected
- Give evidence from your data for your choice
Step 6: Conclusion
Imagine you are this student, your hypothesis was that soda will get the coldest if it is put in the freezer.
After analyzing the data, write a conclusion for this experiment.
Remember to:
- Restate the hypothesis
- Accept or reject the hypothesis
- Use evidence from your experiment

What is "Science Writing?"
At first glance, science writing seems simple. It's writing about topics related to science and can include works of creative nonfiction, nature essays, or scientific articles. But science writing is different from scientific writing. While scientific writing is usually intended for a specialized audience of scientists and researchers, science writing brings important scientific discoveries into the lives of the general public in creative and meaningful ways. Pieces of science writing can be very different from one another and can come in a number of formats. They can be long or short, detailed or generalized. They can be articles, books, videos, essays, podcasts, and more.
This page serves as a guide for discovering credible science writing sources and connecting various fields of study. Scientists, students, educators, and writers can use it to find articles, videos, books, and other examples of science writing to support their interests. Whether you are an avid reader or an aspiring science writer, this guide is for you!
