, What is Research?
Research is a systematic and scientific investigation that aims to discover new
knowledge, validate existing knowledge, or solve problems. It involves a rigorous and
structured approach to inquiry that is guided by specific objectives and research
questions. Research can be conducted in various fields, including the natural sciences,
social sciences, and humanities. It typically involves the collection and analysis of
data using various methods and techniques, such as surveys, experiments,
observations, and interviews.
Aim: To find out the truth which is hidden and which has not yet discovered yet.
Objectives of Research:
To gain familiarity with a phenomenon or to achieve new insights into it.
To portray characteristics of a particular individual, situation or a group.
To know the importance of reliability and validity for tool standardisation.
To test hypothesis of a casual relationship between variables.
, For example, if you measure a cup of rice three times, and you get the
same result each time, that result is reliable. The validity, on the other
hand, refers to the measurement's accuracy. This means that if the
standard weight for a cup of rice is 5 grams, and you measure a cup of
rice, it should be 5 grams
