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.
