Two Week Capacity Building Programme on Research Methodology and Academic Writings for Faculty members in Social Science disciplines

About the Capacity Building Programme:

Capacity-building on an individual level requires the development of conditions that allow participants to build and enhance existing knowledge and skills. It also calls for the establishment of conditions that allow individuals to engage in the “process of learning and adapting to change”. Research is a simultaneous process of thinking, studying, analysing, and writing. Social science research is characterized by the diversity of theoretical perspectives, methodological strategies, data collection practices and analysis techniques. This has made it always necessary to provide training and orientation on a continuing basis to young faculty members to equip them with methodological skills. A basic requirement for high quality research in Social Sciences is the training in the science and art of doing research. While the philosophical basis of social science research is common to social sciences generally, different subjects have evolved their own theoretical frameworks and research procedures/techniques. However, scholars engaging themselves in interdisciplinary or multidisciplinary research need to familiarize themselves with the research strategies of disciplines other than those in which they are trained. Moreover, from the stage of the research problem to the ultimate reporting and publication of the findings, there are several aspects in which a good researcher has to refine his skills. This programme aims to give exposure to in-service faculty, preferably lecturers/assistant professors in social science disciplines, to the latest advances in their subjects, technological spin-offs, etc., and enhance their general methodological and writing skills.

The research methodology training Programme is designed to facilitate the initial phase of designing and planning a research work in social sciences by giving faculty members a clear overview of the basic elements of research writing common to social sciences. The training program will introduce the essential elements of writing a thesis (issue, contexts, texts, methodology and voice). After introducing these concepts, the training Program will give faculty members the opportunity to articulate these concepts in their own research issues. The training Programme will orient the participants about various components of research, i.e., epistemology, methodology and method, and simultaneously organize discussion sessions on how to write research proposals, research thesis and research articles during their research work. The training Programme will focus on developing the skills of identifying the basic elements of description, analysis and argument, and incorporating them into their writing practice.

Learning Outcomes

At the end of the Training Programme, the participants will be able to:

  • Become familiar with the core components of a research work, i.e., writing synopsis and thesis.
  • Articulate these components in relation to own research work.
  • Engage in critical evaluation of each of these elements in relation to the own research work.
  • Learn to identify differences between description, analysis and argument in social science writing.
  • Learn to conceptualize research paper writing in social sciences.
  • Guide participants for collaborative and multidisciplinary research in the areas of social science and allied disciplines.

Course Contents:

The course has been designed in a modular format with emphasis on interactive sessions, exercises and discussions on sample research papers/outlines prepared by the participants during the training. The course would benefit the participants from all social science disciplines. The course will focus on identifying the research issues, formulation of objectives and hypotheses, research design, data analysis tools, selection of statistical methods, and use of computers for data processing. The course content will include the following main topics and will be based largely on the course outlines developed by the

ICSSR as given on the ICSSR website.

Broad Themes:

  1. Theoretical approaches to social science research: Nature, Scope and Theory
  2. Research Design: Selection of a research problem, formulating hypotheses and indicators, methods of sampling and inference, research documentation
  3. Library Skills and Resources
  4. Strategies in social science research: qualitative, quantitative and mixed methods

Concept note:

Research methodology is a fundamental aspect of any scientific inquiry, and its significance cannot be overstated, especially for Ph.D. scholars. As Norman K. Denzin (2017) argues, research methodology is the backbone of social science research, providing the necessary tools and techniques to investigate complex social phenomena. This ten-day course on research methodology aims to equip scholars with the knowledge and skills required to conduct rigorous and scientifically sound research in the social sciences. The importance of research methodology for scholars lies in its ability to guide them through the process of generating new knowledge while critically evaluating existing theories and concepts. As C. Wright Mills (1959) famously stated, the sociological imagination enables researchers to grasp the interplay between individual experiences and larger social structures. The course will cover the three major research methods in social science: quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods. Quantitative research, rooted in the positivist tradition, seeks to establish causal relationships between variables by analyzing objective reality through the use of statistical tools (Bryman, 2016). This method is particularly useful for analyzing large-scale data and identifying patterns, making it an essential tool for Ph.D. scholars working with extensive datasets.

Ten Day Research Methodology Course in Social Sciences

The course is targeted to provide a comprehensive understanding of the research methodologies in social sciences. Through the course, the Ph.D. researchers will be acquainted with the fundamentals and approaches in social science research, tools, methods and sampling techniques to be followed in research. Participants will be trained in data analysis methods used in quantitative and qualitative research. Specifically, the participants will be provided thorough training on conceptualizing an opertionalizing methods in social research.

Throughout the ten-day course (offline), participants will be engaged in a systematic exploration of the research process, from formulating objectives and hypotheses to collecting, rocessing, and analyzing data. Emphasis will be placed on the theoretical and methodological underpinnings of each research method, ensuring that Ph.D. scholars develop a deep understanding of the principles guiding their research endeavors.

This research methodology course is an invaluable opportunity for scholars to enhance their research skills and navigate the complex landscape of social science research. By mastering the tools and techniques of quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods research, participants will be well-equipped to contribute to the advancement of knowledge in their respective fields and make a lasting impact on the social sciences.

The selected participants will get Course kit, reading materials and a certificate of participation.

OBJECTIVES

  1. To provide Ph.D. scholars with a comprehensive understanding and knowledge of the three major research methods in social science: quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods.
  2. To equip Ph.D. scholars with the necessary skills and techniques of data collection, conducting fieldwork via surveys, interviews, ethnography etc.
  3. To train them with the necessary skills of data analysis, writing the research, ethical concerns involved in the social research.
