Publisher's Synopsis
The characteristic features of educational research may be depicted in terms of the changing conception of education. If we consider education as a formal discipline like philosophy, psychology and sociology etc., the accent and emphasis in educational research will be altogether different from the one when it is constructed mainly as a practice or an an activity performed by the society to produce and sustain its social, cultural, and economic potentialities. The major topics dealt in this book are : Sphere of Educational Research; Kinds of Educational Research; Intelligence Tests; Sampling in Research; Experimental Methods; Historical Methods; Hypothesis of Research; Research Design; Processing and Presentation of Research Data; Presentation of Research Report; etc.
