2. Research Methodology (2-0-0-2-2) Course Overview P.Sreenivas Asst.Professor, Department of Computer Applications

3. Research Methodology – Course Overview The course is designed to support students in developing their research project s and to assist them in defining their mode of enquiry. It will give students a general introduction to research, its methodologies, challenges and way of conduction. Students will be equipped to plan and organise their research, as well as to communicate their findings . Prerequisite: Knowledge of evaluation

4. Research Methodology – Importance “If we knew what we were doing, it wouldn’t be called research, would it ?” Albert Einstein

5. Research Methodology – Overview These days, quite often, people are talking about research both in academic institutions and outside in industry. In most cases, very little attention is paid to an important dimension relating to research i.e. research methodology.

6. Research Methodology – Overview To solve the difficulties coming in the way of Research is the main work of designing a methodology. It is necessary not just to identify the problem for Research but to determine the best method to solve that problem as well. 

7. Research Methodology – Importance For instance to understand: the person who is researching need not just to know how to calculate mean etc. for a set of data, or how to find a solution of a physical system, or how to find the roots of algebraic equations but also need to know- a suitable method for the decision problem . the order of accuracy of the outcome of a way for the problem. the efficiency of the way.

8. What is Research?? There are lot of definitions with lots of buzzwords endless, sometimes painful, convincing, experimental, findings, consistent, analysis, implications, publish, statistics, never perfect, boring, time consuming, experts, unpredictable

9. What is Methodology?? A specific way or method for performing process. An organized, documented, set of procedures and guidelines A step-by-step approach for carrying out the procedure.

10. What is Research Methodology?? Methods to collect data, and the concepts and theories which underlie the methods. A scientific and systematic way to solve researc h problem using various logical steps.

11. Research Methodology – Importance The role of Methodology in solving the problems in the way of Research are : It helps in deciding the best method to resolve the difficulties for Research . Research describes how efficient the method is in solving the problem It aids to know the accuracy of the way decided to apply in Research for a suitable outcome.
