CHAPTER SCHEME
CHAPTER I Introduction
The purpose of introduction is to introduce the research project to the readers. It should contain a clear
statement of the objectives of research i.e., enough background should be given to make clear to the reader
why the problem was considered worth investigating. A brief summary of other relevant research may also
be stated so that the present study can be seen in that context. In this chapter followings should get the
mentioning:
The Methodology adopted in conducting the study must be fully explained. The scientific reader would
like to know in detail about such thing. How was the study carried out? What was its basic design? If the
study was an experimental one, then what was the experimental one, then what were the experimental
manipulations? If the data were collected by means of questionnaires or interviews, then exactly what
questions were asked (The questionnaires or interview schedule is usually given in an appendix). If
measurements were based on observation, then what instructions were given to the observers? Regarding
the sample used in the study the reader should be told: Who were the subjects? How many were there?
How were they selected? All these questions are crucial for estimating the probable limits of
generalizability of the findings. The statistical analysis adopted must also be clearly stated. In addition to
all this, the scope of study should be stated and the boundary lines be demarcated. The various limitations,
under which the research project was completed, must also be narrated.
2.5 Methodology
A detailed presentation of the findings of the study, with supporting data in the form of tables and charts
together with a validation of results, is the next step in writing the main text of the report. This generally
comprises the main body of the report, extending over several chapters. The result section of the report
should contain statistical summaries and reductions of the data rather than the raw data. All the
results should be presented in logical sequence and splitted into readily identifiable sections. All relevant
results must find a place in the report. But one is to decide about what is relevant in the basic question.
Statistical tools are to be used for analyzing the data, which is mandatory.
A statement of Conclusions & Suggestions in non-technical language is required so that all concerned
can easily understand it. Based on data analysis presented in earlier chapters, relevant observations
inference to be made/drawn. And in second part of this chapter. Practical suggestions/recommendations
are to be given to the organization. Then, if the findings happen to be extensive, at this point, they should
be put in the summarized form.
Appendices
