Description
Research is an organized and systematic investigation of a problem where an investigator attempts to gain solution to a problem. In order to get the right solution clearly defined objectives are important. A clearly defined objective directs a researcher in the right direction. Without a clear objective a researcher is aimless and directionless in conducting the study. Without focused objectives no clear scientific findings can be expected.
The course on “Developing and Framing Research Objectives” is designed to provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of the process of formulating clear and focused research objectives. Participants will learn the importance of well-defined research objectives in guiding the research process, setting clear expectations, and ensuring research outcomes align with the intended purpose. The course will cover various techniques and strategies for developing effective research objectives, including defining the research problem, identifying research questions, and aligning objectives with research methodologies.
Apart from this the course will elaborate on Refining research objectives based on research constraints and how to take care ofΒ ethical considerations while framing objectives.
By the end of this course, participants will be able to Understand the importance of clear research objectives in guiding the research process, Develop SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound) research objectives, Evaluate and refine research objectives based on feasibility ,relevance andΒ ethical considerations .
Target Audience:
- Researchers from various disciplines
- Graduate students
- Professionals involved in research projects
- Anyone interested in enhancing their research objective development skills
