2. To Conduct a research
( 3rd /4th month of the Internship)
3. To Write a report

3. Introduction:
This course will enable the student teacher to know the basic research methodology, to identify the school based research problem and to solve them scientifically.

4. Guidelines:

Research report should be in student teachers’ own handwriting.

6. Guidelines:

10. What is Research?
In a scientific method, first a person clarifies her idea what she want to acquire. She reviews previous studies and combines with its own experience and defines the problems. Then she collects the data from the informants and subjects. After gathering the data se summaries and analysis it and try to come on the particular conclusion. At the end she does documentation of the investigation that she carried out.

11. Educational Research
Educational Research is applied science. When the research procedure is adapted to solve the problems in education, to find out facts in education, to answer the questions in education is called educational research.

12. Types of Research methods
Historical
(Past)
(Present)
Descriptive
Experimental
(Future)

13. Historical Research
Historical research tends to find facts in the past. Researchers focuses on historical sources to collect the data.
e.g.Case-study

14. Descriptive Research
A researcher may analyze the data that he has collected and discovers that different variables are correlated. It is about finding the status of variable in present situation.
E.g.- Survey

15. Experimental Research
Experimental research provides the control on the variable and give opportunity to modify the variable in controlled situation. Researcher establishes a systematic and logical association between manipulated factors and observed effects.

16. Research Proposal
A research proposal is a concise and coherent summary of your proposed research. It sets out the central issues or questions that you intend to address. It outlines the general area of study within which yourresearch falls, referring to the current state of knowledge and any recent debates on the topic.

17. Research Area in Educational Research
Learning difficulties
Learning styles
Subjects specific skills
Achievement
Aptitude
Interest
Behavioral issues of learners
Use of new methods
Application of ICT
Program Development

Inclusive education
Teaching styles

18. Variable
Dependent - on which the impact will be done ( impact/effect/change)
Achievement, attitude, learning style, problems
Independent – with which the impact will be done ( treatment/intervention/Program)
Remedial program, use of ICT, use of different strategies)
