- 4. MEANING OF RESEARCH “A systematized effort to gain new knowledge” - Redman and Mory The word “research” originated from the old French word “recerchier” meaning to search and search again. Deepak Sharma
- 5. MEANING OF RESEARCH • It literally implies repeating a search for something and implicitly assumes that the earlier search was not exhaustive and complete in the sense that there is still scope for improvement. • Research in common parlance refers to a search for knowledge. • It may be defined as a scientific and systematic search for pertinent information on a specific topic/area. • In fact, research is an art of scientific investigation. • The Advanced Learner’s Dictionary of Current English lays down the meaning of research as “a careful investigation or inquiry especially through search for new facts in any branch of knowledge”. Deepak Sharma
- 6. Basic operations in Systematic Research Research is a scientific approach of answering a research question, solving a problem or generating new knowledge through a systematic and orderly collection, organization, and analysis of information with an ultimate goal of making the research useful in decision- making. Deepak Sharma
- 7. BASIC OPERATIONS 1. Data collection: It refers to observing, measuring, and recording information. 2. Data analysis: It refers to arranging and organizing the collected data so that we may be able to find out what their significance is and generalize about them. 3. Report writing: It is an inseparable part and a final outcome of a research study. Its purpose is to convey information contained in it to the readers or audience. • In this context, legal research is defined as ‘systematic’ finding law on a particular point and making advancement in the science of law. • It involves a systematic search of legal materials, statutory, subsidiary and judicial pronouncements. Deepak Sharma
- 8. LOGICAL STEPS OF RESEARCH For making advancement in the science of law, one needs to go into the ‘underlying principles or reasons of the law’. An approach becomes systematic when a researcher follows scientific method. Research is systematic, because it follows certain steps that are logical in order. Deepak Sharma
- 9. LOGICAL STEPS OF RESEARCH • Understanding the nature of problem to be studied and identifying the related area of knowledge. • Reviewing literature to understand how others have approached or dealt with the problem. • Collecting data in an organized and controlled manner so as to arrive at valid decisions. • Analyzing data appropriate to the problem. • Drawing conclusions and making generalizations. Deepak Sharma
- 10. Where do I begin research? The Answer includes in it each step of a course of action that begins with an analysis of the facts of a problem and concludes with the application and communication of the results of the investigation. Deepak Sharma
- 11. WHERE DO I BEGIN RESEARCH? Asking the Question Identifying the important factors Formulating hypotheses Collecting relevant information Testing the hypotheses Working with the hypotheses Reconsidering the theory Asking new Questions Deepak Sharma
