PRACTICUM

TOPIC: A STUDY ON “RESEARCH IN SOCIAL SCIEAL SCIENCE EDUCATION”

.

INTRODUCTION

                                        Research is research conducted by social scientists following a systematic plan. Social research methodologies can be classified along a quantitative/qualitative dimension.

·         Quantitative designs approach social phenomena through quantifiable evidence, and often rely on statistical analysis of many cases (or across intentionally designed treatments in an experiment) to create valid and reliable general claims. Related to quantity.

·         Qualitative designs emphasize understanding of social phenomena through direct observation, communication with participants, or analysis of texts, and may stress contextual subjective accuracy over generality. Related to quality.

While methods may be classified as quantitative or qualitative, most methods contain elements of both. For example, qualitative data analysis often involves a fairly structured approach to coding the raw data into systematic information, and quantifying interceder reliability. Thus, there is often a more complex relationship between "qualitative" and "quantitative" approaches than would be suggested by drawing a simple distinction between them.

Social scientists employ a range of methods in order to analyze a vast breadth of social phenomena: from census survey data derived from millions of individuals, to the in-depth analysis of a single agent's social experiences; from monitoring what is happening on contemporary streets, to the investigation of ancient historical documents. Methods rooted in classical sociology and statistics have formed the basis for research in other disciplines, such as political science, media studies, program evaluation and market research

NEED AND SIGNIFICANCE

The principle of beneficence holds that

(a) The subjects of research should be protected from harm.

 (b) The research should bring tangible benefits to society. By this definition, research with no scientific merit is automatically considered unethical.

CONCLUSION

                            Research is a conscious effort guided by the purpose with may be varied in nature it may be specific to an event or person or wider to a community a country a search for newer methods or adopting the older ones. The method is accordingly chosen to fulfill the aim or purpose. Social research help towards rapid growth by accelerating rate of growth and studying the basic the basic obstacles in the path of development. Social research help in guiding the social growth on proper lines and towards more cherished popper line and towards more cherished goal. It also provides growth models according to the social condition of the topic concerned. It assists in the understanding of the social phenomena and in the evolution of new theories. it also aim at revising accepted conclusion. Theories or laws in the light of newly discovered facts or the practical application of such new or revised conclusion.  The origin of research is curiosity. It therefore means a continued starch for knowledge and understanding
