Research It is always good to know the reason on ‘why’ we do the things To answer we need evidence or data Evidence is generated through the systematic search of the knowledge .
Research The systematic search of knowledge require the series of procedure starting from Identification of problem To set aims and objective Designing the suitable method Collection of data analysis and interpretation. Drawing conclusion and recommendation The set of procedure is called research
Research- definition It is a process of discovering new knowledge. It is a logical and systematic search for new and useful information on a particular topic. It is an investigation of finding a solution to scientific and social problem, through systematic analysis.
Research- recherche - french Means to seek again . To go about seeking
The act and process of thinking Act Act and think
Thinking is the top of bliss and joy in human-Aristotle
World is full of question and the human life is to find the answer - S ocrates
Why do we do research 1.Popular opinion can be wrong
Long time ago people thought earth was flat
Why we have to do research Flat Sphere
2. Humans should use their thinking capabilities to confirm the truth

Edward J enner- vaccine for small pox- maid infect with cow pox got immune and not infect by small pox
3 . Scientific approach is needed to provide solution rather than accepting the norms and opinions
The need to transmit knowledge Merit not belongs to the person who discover something, but to the one who describes it and convince the world about it
To stand from the peer group To make you to stand out from the crowd Only the quality and quantity of the research matter. Critical thinking is the key aspect of the research Why do we do research
To provide the solutions to medical challanges
Need for Research Developing efficient learning process Discover issue Finding opportunities Sharing of valuable information
Need for Research Nourishing the minds Understanding issues Business success New opportunities
Innovation Legal requirement Knowledge building Need for Research
To solve the scientific and non scientific problem. To analyse the process of phenomenon It is vital in decision making [in scientific and non scientific field] Need for Research
It provides basis for all government policies in our economic system. Preparation of budget, allocation of fund to different section, solution for social problem. Need for Research
Research is an important too in pharmaceuticals [ new drug for diseases ] Research in industry to improve the quality of products. It leads to a new style of life. Need for Research
To categorise It involves in forming a concepts . It can be useful in explaining which things belong together and how.
To describe Descriptive research relies on observation as a mean of collecting data. It examine situation. it establish norms. It can predict what happen again under the same circumstances.
To explain It design to deal with complex issues.
To evaluate It involves in making judgement. Quality can be measured either in an absolute sense or on a comparative basis.
To compare Two or more contrasting cases can be examined to highlight differences and similarities between them, leading to a better understanding of phenomena.
To correlate The relationship between two phenomena are investigated to see whether and how they influence each other. They are measured as levels of association.
To predict It is done in research when correlation is already known. Prediction of possible future based on strong relationship between two or more characteristics or event in the past, then these should exist in similar circumstances in the future leading to predictable outcome.
To control Once we understood the event or situation, we may find a ways to control it. All the technology relies on this ability to control.
Develop refine and extend the scientific base of knowledge, which is required for quality health care . Provide a foundation for evidence based medical practices. Help in expansion of knowledge which is essential for continued growth of health care profession.
To enhance their professional identity. Enhance accuracy of different biomedical educational and administrative techniques. To develop and refine theories and principles applicable in different health care disciplines. To solve problems or answer questions related to health care .
Need for design of experiment
A research design is a framework for conducting the research experiments or projects. It describes the steps for acquiring the information needed to solve research problem.
A research design is used to plan , to show how all of the major components of the research project contribute to attempt the main research problem. It provides the steps and the plan for successfully carrying out the study.
It is the strength of any research protocol , a document that outline the planning of study. It increases the chances of gathering all of the information required to answer a research problem. If the research design is sound and strictly follows the protocol then the information gathered during research is useful.
Strict execution of procedures and techniques specified in the research protocol increases the chance of results that the research will be accurate and significant to the other researcher. It is significant in terms of reliability of the results outcomes. It is the firm foundation for the entire research
It is important because by employing the research design in the research the other researchers can be able to reproduce it. It makes procedures clearer that are used to ensure the protection of research matter. It helps to maintain the integrity of the information gathered in the study.
It facilitates the smooth completion of the various research activities. It makes the research as efficient as possible by establishing maximum information with minimum expenditure on labor material and time
Advantage of research design It minimizes the inaccuracy. It eliminates bias and marginal errors. It minimises the wastage of resources such as labor , materials and time. It is helpful in collecting and identifying the research materials.it is helpful for testing of hypothesis It provides an overview to other expert researcher. It guides the research activities in the right direction
