Synopsis

Book Title: “Learn to Conduct a Research Study for the First time” Summary: Chapter-1 opens the entire discussion by giving a background to research in general touching on the requirements for conducting a research study. Chapter-2 deals with issues in regard to the “Research Problem” looking at how you build-up your research problem and eventually your research statement. Chapter-3 discusses the “Research Literature” looking at: purpose, literature search, relevance, documentation. Chapter-4 attempts to give an illustration of what we mean by “Research Models, Concepts, and Theories”. Chapter-5 looks at the “Research Aim and Purpose”. Chapter-6 deeply interrogates the “Research Methodology” looking at: variables, research types, designs, research population, sampling methods, instrumentations, piloting, validity/reliability, ethical issues.
