12 Day’s Capacity Building Programmes (CBP) on Research Methodology and Academic Writing for faculty in Social Sciences
About Capacity Building Programmes (CBP)
The ICSSR Training and Capacity Building Programmes are extending financial support for organizing workshop on research methodology and capacity building programme to cater the needs of the social science faculties. These days Social science research is acting as a device for predicting social behavior, its planning and control. Social science research has assumed great significance as it contributes to societal development
and ultimately to the nation. Society is a diverse set of individuals and is highly interlinked, which has reshaped the research in social sciences. Over the years, one can identify a transition in the Indian higher education from a narrow disciplinary focus towards multidisciplinary engagements. A formal recognition of this is provided by the NEP 2020.
Another challenge in social science research is quality writing (academic writing). Various universities & research agencies are conducting research and producing their findings with an aim to address social problems along with its multifaceted relevance. However, the atrocities of the university and research organizations are that they are not able to produce effective academic writing. According to many academicians, university
and research organizations in India do not have sufficient infrastructure to produce quality researchers. Through ages it is seen that the skill of quality writing has been learnt by academician/researchers own their own. If early career teachers & researchers get enough exposure, training and support, academicians from India, for sure, will be the best in academic writing for many years to come.
The biggest strength of academic writers is that they can improve through practice & training. The process of practice & training often involves lots of guidance & efforts. The academic writer needs time to (a) search for appropriate style, academic & logical consistency, clarity pertaining to each type of writing and publication avenue, acknowledging the contributions & information made by other academicians (b) understand them (c) practice these skills over the years. Now there is a need to bring together different disciplinary experts to respond to societal problems and promote their knowledge.
