Research Article Analysis Paper
Researching journal articles will be important to the graduate student. This paper will analyze a published journal article.
Research Article What why how & where to write
This paper introduces the methodology of research article. It provides some information that could be useful for the new researchers to write a research article. Not only that but also it helps them to know where to publish his academic writings. The Methodology used in this research is both descriptive and analytic.
Education refers to the social institution guiding a society's transmission of knowledge--including basic facts, job skills, and cultural norms and values--to its members. One important way of imparting the education is done through the formal schools and the extent of schooling in any community is closely tied to its level of economic development and overall community development. In Kashmir division, District Budgam is most backward district in terms of education. Being educationally backward has its ramifications in other socio economic aspects of the district. One reason of this backwardness is the tribal population of the district, which is showing passivity towards the education. The present paper is based on an empirical study conducted within one of the tribal villages of the Budgam namely Ringzabal. Inspite of having Govt. Middle and a Govt. Primary school, the dropout rate of children is much high. In whole village there are just three students, who have passed the secondary class exams. Because of various reasons they did not sustain their studies. Besides the dropout children, there are also a good number of never admitted children, who mostly are engaged in child laboring and it is one important issue within the village related to children. Lack of proper school infrastructure, community passivity towards education, migration of the community, lack of sports material, toilets etc are few reasons for the poor status of education in the village. In this paper an attempt has been made to analyze the various factors, issues and problems, which are hindering the process of education in the village. The present study has been carried out in line with the qualitative research strategy. In this study researchers used the research methods suiting to this research strategy and used non participant observation and interviews as research methods.
Handbook for Writing Research Paper
What image comes into mind as we hear the words 'Research Paper': working with stacks of articles and books; hunting the 'treasure' of others' thoughts; preparing research report on the basis of primary or secondary data? Whatever image we create, it's a sure bet that we're envisioning sources of information-articles, books, people, and artworks. Yet a research paper is more than the sum of sources, more than a collection of different pieces of information about a topic, and more than a review of the literature in a field. A research paper analyzes a perspective or argues a point. Regardless of the type of research paper the researcher is writing, the researcher should present his own thinking backed up by others' ideas and information. A research paper involves surveying a field of knowledge in order to find the best possible information in that field and that survey can be orderly and focused. Classification of Paper into one or the other Category Pick the category which most closely describes the paper. Though some papers can fit into more than one category but it is good to assign the paper to one of the categories listed below to facilitate searching within the database: Research Paper: This category covers papers which report on any type of research undertaken by the author(s). The research may involve the construction or testing of a model or framework, action research, testing of data, market research or surveys, empirical, scientific or clinical research.
The data collection method. (The data collected from both primary and secondary sources was used in this research for achieving the research objectives.)
Research is the gathering of information with the intention to solve a problem/ opportunity which have not been addressed before. It is also a systematic data based on critical and objective and scientific enquiry into a specific problem for the purpose of finding solutions to the problem. Ideally it is a process that aids decision making in business. The research steps are identifying the problem, theory assumption, variables and hypothesis, proposal, literature review, research methodology, presentation and recommendations. However, in this piece of writing attention is focused on areas that should be included in the methodology section of the research proposal. Research methodology is the systematic ,theoretical ,analysis of the method applied to a field of study .Alternatively ,it is a research approach that strategically investigate a problem with which the whole dissertation is concerned .It can be linked to the foundation of a building in construction and, therefore needs to be robust; if it is weak the research will also be weak. Its strength is determined by data collected whether primary or secondary. Data acts as raw materials of the research. Effective data meets the objectives and hypothesis of the research project, hence appropriate methods should be used to gather data. From the above definitions it can be concluded that research methodology is a totality of what is going to be done in the research. There are three methods that can be used to conduct an academic research such as research strategies for example case studies ,surveys, research and experimental design ,research methods for example interviews ,questionnaires ,observations and documentary analysis and data types such as qualitative and quantitative data .Research methodology has got some steps which needs to be taken into consideration which include research design ,target population ,data collection and procedures ,validity and reliability and data presentation and analysis. Zikmund (2005) cited that a research design is a master plan specifying the methods for collecting and analysing the needed information. Another author defines it as a plan, structure and strategy of investigation as conceived as to obtain answers to a research problem. It gives the framework of the research plan of action and the researcher to decide which design to adopt. There are types of research design such as:
