Research Methodology in Education: Strictly on the Basis of Prescribed Syllabus with Modern Trends

Major advances in educational research in the 20 century ensured that the knowledge imparted to students in the formal schooling set-up catered to the society’s continually changing social, economic, political and cultural needs and concerns. As such, in a world where change is the only constant, educational research has become crucial to impart to students a broad spectrum of information and knowledge which can equip them with the necessary skills to carve their own niche in life. The present book is an attempt to introduce the readers to the rigours and procedures of educational research, considering the import that it carries within the educational set-up. The emphasis is upon delineating the types of educational research, the processes involved in their implementation, and what they entail. Attention has been devoted to an understanding of the ways in which educational research itself has evolved, with a focus on current trends in the field aiding in highlighting this. In addition, the relevance of educational research has been continually underlined by the various critical perspectives included in each of the chapters, which seek to foster a better comprehension of educational research.
