About the Workshop

Capacity building and personality development have become key requirement for survival in today’s global environment, particularly in academia, where advancements have become more dynamic than previously. In the social sciences, research has become so important to faculty members that professional progress without it is nearly impossible. The inclusion of this feature in the new national education policy, 2020, has increased the value of social science research. Given the importance of capacity building programmes in academics, it has become necessary to use this as an opportunity to strengthen our affirmative action policies in higher education by organising such training with a priority for young faculty (regular/ad hoc/contractual). In light of the current pandemic situation, the training programme will be conducted in offline format, which will provide a conducive safe environment for learners and resource persons to participate in this academic exercise with safety measures during workshop.

To gain a better understanding of how to do qualitative research.
To provide learners with understanding about how to conduct social research.
To teach writing skills with a concentration on peer-reviewed journals.

Themes for the capacity building program:

The suggested capacity-building programme would be focused on the following main themes in order to attain the above-mentioned objectives:

Research Technique, focusing on social research methodology
Developing research instruments and determining the best strategy for conducting qualitative research.

10 Days Free and Fully ICSSR Sponsored Research Methodology Course

Indian Institute of Teacher Education is conducting Ten Days Research Methodology Course for M.Phil./Ph.D./PDF Scholars in Social Sciences in Offline mode from 1^st September to 10^th September 2022. The Course is fully Sponsored By Indian Council of Social Science Research (ICSSR) New Delhi

About the Research Methodology Course:

NEP 2020 insists upon Quality Research in HEIs and quality research requires research skills, research ethics and conceptual clarity about the entire research process. Research scholars pursuing Ph. D. have to do research on a particular problem to obtain the degree. They have to work under the guidance of the supervisor of their choice or else provided by the concerned university. Supervisor guides the research scholar to work in a proper way. Though the scholar has to do lot of activities before and after consulting the supervisor. He/she can carry out such activities in a proper manner to realise the objectives of the research, only if he/she has an ability for the same. On the other hand, the scholar has to follow the research ethics to complete the research in such a way that it would contribute in knowledge generation or it would be helpful in taking effective decisions for the betterment of the society and in encouraging the researchers to conduct quality research.

The study of the journey of human development reveals that human being always tries to get new knowledge and experience. Instead of accepting the nature as it is, man continuously tries to make changes in natural phenomenon. Such efforts give the results beyond our imagination. This happens because, among all living beings, only the man possesses logical thinking ability. Due to which, he has curiosity of getting more and more knowledge. He thinks in an inductive or deductive way to satisfy his curiosity, tries to learn something new by experience or he studies by scientific method with logical thinking in order to create new knowledge or to develop the existing knowledge. The man starts thinking logically as soon as the questions arise in his mind like ‘Why?’, ‘Why not?’, ‘What does it mean?’, ‘Why this happens?’, ‘What is the solution of this?’ or ‘What will be better than this?’ etc. He starts thinking logically to get the answer of such questions and takes a decision regarding the answer of the question. Such decisions increase his knowledge, develop new principles and theories, or fill the gaps required for developing the knowledge. The process of getting answers in this way, nurtures his tendency of research.

Research is a scientific process and it is completed by following the steps in a proper sequence. Right from the identification of research area and research problem, the researcher has to take rational decisions to decide the research activities at different stages of the process. This can be done in a goal oriented and an effective way, if the researcher has proper layout of the task to be performed during the research process. It is well known fact that responsible conduct of research, and safeguarding ethics and academic integrity in scientific research is extremely crucial. It is also true that, nowadays, compromised publication ethics and deteriorating academic integrity are contaminating all domains of research. The Ph.D. and post doctoral fellowship (PDF) scholars have to keep themselves away from any such activity that leads them to violate research and publication ethics. Like other fields, education is an area in which efforts are being continuously made to make it more fruitful. Impact of education policies, rules and regulations is checked out by government and other agencies related with this area. Inquiry and minor, major and action research are continuously done by these agencies in order to evaluate current education system. In this way, researches in this area reveal the ways to make it more effective.

Knowledge in all of its forms has a pertinent role in individual development and success in society. Thus, the decisive role of education and research in the generation, dissemination and utilization of this knowledge is a proven fact. Research bolsters the logical habits of systematic thinking and organization by instilling scientific and inductive thinking. In order to deal with the problems of society and to foster a spirit of critical inquiry amongst the researchers, there is a need to build research capacities among them. This research methodology workshop aims to provide research participants with a set of skills and potentialities needed to commence effective research in the field of social sciences. Most importantly, assists the individuals to carry out research work from the basic concept
