Technical field of Proposal: Research Methods and Applications of Statistical Tools and Techniques

Title of Proposal: “FDP on Research Methodology – Developing the Collective

Competence”`

Abstract

The quality and value addition of the education system in any country largely depends on the academic

and professional qualifications, knowledge, skills, attitudes, and professional knowledge and

competencies of the faculty deployed for creating and disseminating knowledge at different levels of

education in the system. Undoubtedly in higher and professional education institutions, operating either

by the State or private higher education providers; faculty, the prime mover in the education system,

Application ID: 1



needs to regularly upgrade their academic and professional qualifications, subject matter knowledge and

the core competencies so as to improve the quality of their teaching as well as the research work.

For the growth and development of any academic institution, continuous research work and that too of

high quality, in the various domains of its operations has become a bare minimum necessity, if the

institute has to keep its neck high among its contemporaries and compete nationally and globally. The

faculty, therefore, should have fairly good knowledge of various research methodologies and

statistical tools/techniques/software for analyzing data, interpreting inferences, and drawing results

and findings. Such research knowledge reservoir is expected to be available with the faculty for

carrying out their own research work for their professional growth and satisfaction, and also to guide

and help students in carrying out their minor research projects as required under the prescribed course

curriculum of the university.

In general, research has primarily been seen as an academic activity conducted only by the academic

professionals. However, it is not always a concept that is used only by the practitioners, managers and

policy makers. Further, it has also been observed that very often this academic activity is carried out

by the academicians in their labs. but in isolation. Therefore, a wide gap exists between the

academicians and practitioners in understanding the genesis and the usefulness of particular research

work. This prevailing scenario leads to a somewhat mismatch between those who create the evidence

base and those who are positioned to implement the research findings at the field level. Educational

institutions, therefore, not only supply skilled human resources to various sectors of our economy, but

must contribute even in intangible ways i.e. by producing quality applied research addressing directly

the contemporary and emerging business issues, nationally and globally.

Being inquisitor by nature, academicians and professionals are always learning, discovering things,

analyzing information, and finding ways and means to improve the problem solving capacities and

capabilities of the organizations with their well proven scientific alternatives, which are in tune with

the emerging needs of the society. These entire set of endeavors with sharp focus on finding facts/truth

constitutes research. Since in any academic environment, teaching and research are always

complementary and supplementary to each other, therefore teaching also involves substantial amount

of creative thinking and experimentation. In this context the whole set of questions may include: does

a teacher’s conduct and behaviour lead to improved academic performance, increase in motivation

Application ID: 2



level, sincere commitment, and the better behavior among students? Does conduct of teachers in and

outside the classrooms amounts to improvements or otherwise in students’ performance? However,

research is envisaged to be a more formal and systematic method to improve students’ performance.

Since by profession, teachers in general are thought-leaders and thought-guides, therefore teachers are

strongly passionate to conduct research and also fine-tune their teaching pedagogies and the findings

using the research outcomes on the subject.

The proposed Faculty Development Program (FDP) has been designed as a specialized program for

career development and advancement of faculty members from Management disciplines. The proposed

Program is expected to develop their competencies in identifying contemporary research areas,

understanding recent developments and advancements made in the identified subject domain researches

through wide spectrum of research designs and learning to select correct teaching pedagogy backed by

well proven scientific findings. It will enable them to effectively use the judicious mix of qualitative and

quantitative statistical tools/techniques/methods in order to enrich the quality of research to be

undertaken by them either in their individual capacity or on the platform of an institute.

The proposed FDP has been broadly designed keeping in mind the following three factors into

consideration-the knowledge, the contents, and the processes. The roadmap of the proposed FDP

comprises various advanced level research topics like ANOVA, Exploratory and Confirmatory Factor

Analysis, Cluster Analysis, Discriminant Analysis, and Structural Equation Modeling etc. The focus is,

therefore, not only on exploring the conceptual understanding of these topics but also enabling

participants to understand the usages of statistical tools/techniques/software like SPSS and LISREL for

treatment of the collected data. However, usages of such research tools and advanced statistical

techniques will be situation-specific and the interpretation of outcomes will be the prime focus of

technical sessions planned for the FDP.

Objectives

Following participants focused broad objectives of the proposed FDP will be to:

Strengthen and enrich research backed teaching – learning pedagogy; Give proper insight into the quantitative and qualitative research methods; Identify contemporary research areas/issues and suggest a workable methodology to academic

institutions for closely working with industries;

Application ID: 3



Familiarize with the use of advanced tools for conducting research as well as the statistical software like SPSS and LISREL etc;

Extend support in getting hands-on experience to use software for applying advanced statistical tools like multiple regression, multi-discriminate analysis, structural equation modeling and econometric models; and

Enhance competency for undertaking quality research at par with international standards.

Project Impact - Expected Outcome

After attending the proposed Program, participants are likely to gain better insight and understanding

into the contemporary research areas. This would enable them to synchronize and attune their research

projects with industry relevance wherein the burning and pressing issues can be addressed through their

valuable suggestions and recommendations made out of research findings. Thus the proposed Program

sets high quality standards in order to produce knowledge that is applicable outside the research settings

with implications that go beyond the groups, who have participated in the conduct of research.

A sound research project’s edifice quite often relies on the research design and the research

methodology adopted to arrive at the genuineness in its findings. Thus through this Program,

participants would gain conceptual clarity of the research design and methodology. Familiarity with the

research tools and techniques would further enable participants to do statistical analysis as well as the

interpretations correctly. Thus participants will learn to appreciate and build coherent relationships

between and among the instruments, data and analytical methods; which is imperative for any good

research project.

Further through survey research technique method, participants will learn to develop capabilities to

design questionnaire and interview schedules. Subsequently, they would learn to collect relevant data

through survey research technique method by which they can examine and test the hypotheses.

A mixed bag of qualitative and quantitative research method is considered to be imperative these days to

develop and enhance the quality of research. After undergoing the Program, participants would be

expected to demonstrate proficiency in applying the judicious mix of research methods in developing

and conducting empirical studies.

Participants having familiarity with advanced statistical techniques like Regression Analysis,

Discriminant Analysis, Cluster Analysis and ANOVA will find this Program as booster dose/inputs and

Application ID: 4



thus be able to develop proficiency in applying advanced statistical tools and techniques, and

simultaneously interpret the data with approximation generated out of SPSS.

The familiarity with structural equation modeling and software usage LISREL for the same would bring

participants to a level where they can do model testing fitness and construct development. This would

eventually develop their competencies to conduct quality research and the acceptability of the same in

the high professional circles. Further, these inputs will also facilitate participants to effectively guide

their present and the future research scholars.
