- Summary:
-
In response to the poor conceptualizations and research methodologies of the small amount of research on human development in India, the faculty of the M.S. University of Baroda held a 15-day workshop for researchers--faculty members and doctoral candidates--in the area of child development. This document reports, in condensed form, discussion on the major components of the workshop. In meetings on what needs to be researched and why, participants discussed their research interests and the relevance of social science research. The discussion of ways to research covered the processes of reviewing the literature, formulating problems, selecting and defining variables, selecting a sample, collecting information, constructing tools, understanding statistics, and conducting qualitative analyses. In the discussion of research designs, experimental and nonexperimental designs, selection and presentation of designs, and integration of the elements were considered. Discussion of pragmatics of research covered the topics of research management, the process of finding support, and the presentation of research to scientific and lay communities. Findings from the evaluation of the workshop are reported. Related materials are appended, including worksheets on analyzing and critiquing a study and designing a study. (RH)
