knowledge. Hence research can be termed as the search for truth or discovery of new things or builds body
includes the collection relevant information, and careful analysis of data, recording and reporting of valid
conclusion, that may lead to creation of new knowledge, development of theory, principles, and
generalization.
The developed theory, Knowledge, principles or generalization may help the researcher or
concerned authority to predict occurrences of certain possible events and thereby make possible to ultimate
control of unwanted events. Research also means that the process of testing the validity of assumptions and
formulated hypotheses. When we come to the educational research it is the process of scientific inquiry to
