RESEARCH METHODOLOGY AND PROCEDURE

3.1 INTRODUCTION

Research methodology has threefold objectives, Theoretical, factual and application. These objectives are achieved by employing different methods and strategies of research. Regarding research method Sukhia and Meherotra (1) in 1966 say,

“The decision about the method to be employed, however always depends upon the nature of the problem selected and the kind or data necessary for its solution methods selected should always be appropriate to the problem under investigation feasible, preplanned and well understood”.

Hypothesis

The hypothesis is a concise, clear statement containing the main idea or purpose of your scientific research. A hypothesis must be testable and falsifiable, meaning there must be a way to test the hypothesis and it can either be

A review of the earlier studies gives the scholar an understanding of the previous work that has been done.

3. The results of review actually provide the data used in Research.

4. It enables us to know the means of getting to the frontier in the field of our problem. Until we have learnt what others have done and what still remains to be done in our area, we cannot develop a research project that will contribute to furthering knowledge in our field.

5. A review of the earlier studies would develop the insight of the investigations; the information thus gained will have researcher’s time.

6. The importance of the Review is quite the insight in delimiting the research problem and in defining it better.

7. The review of the earlier studies will give the student the insight he needs to convert his tentative research problem to a specific and concise one.

8. A review of the earlier studies can help the researcher worker in waking him about the research possibilities that have been overlooked.

9. In the process of reviewing the earlier studies, the students are on the alert for finding out research approaches in his area that have proved to be
