Q1. What are the basic research design issues? Describe them in some detail.

Ans. Kesearch design is an important aspect of conducting research as it determines the overau

structure and plan for a study. There are several key issues that need to be considered wnen

designing a research study. Some of these include:

1. Research Question: The first step in the design process is to clearly define the research question.

This question should be specific, well- defined and relevant to the topic of study.

generalization of the results.

3. Data Collection Methods: There are various methods for collecting data, including self- report
method wll
measures, observation, physiological measures. The choice of data collection

depend on the research question and the resources available.

4. Measurement: The measurement of variables is an important aspect of research design. The

choice of measures should be based on the research question and the theories being tested.

5. Control Groups: In some studies, controlgroups are used to compare the effects of an
intervention or treatment with a pon- interventional group. The choice of control group and the
method for controlling for extzaneous variables are important considerations in the design process.

6. Data Analysie Fhe choice of data analysis method wil depend on the research question, the type
of data being collected, and the hypotheses being tested.

7. Ethical Considerations: Ethics is a critical consideration in research design. Researchers must

consider the potential harm to participants, confidentiality, and informed consent when designing a

study.

These are some of the basic issues that must be considered in research design. It is important to
consider each issue carefully and to have a well- designed plan in place before conducting the study
to ensure the validity and reliability of the results.

 Q.9 Visit the website https://www.indiastat.com. Discuss with your class how you might
use the data available via links from this web page in archival research. In particular, you
should concentrate on the research questions you might be able to answer using these
data to represent the part of the reality you would be researching.

Ans:-IndiaStat is a website that provides access to a vast array of data and statistics related
to India. The website provides data on various aspects of Indian society and the economy,
including demographics, health, education, industry, and trade. This information can be a
valuable resource for archival research, as it can provide a window into different aspects of
India's past and present.

Here are some research questions that can be answered using the data available on
IndiaStat:

Demographics: What were the population trends in India over the past few decades? How
has the age structure of the population changed? What hayebeen the trends in fertility and
mortality rates?

Health: What have been the trends in major health indicators such as life expectancy, infant
mortality, and maternal mortality? How hayé these changed over time and across different
regions of India?

Education: What have been the trends in literacy rates and school
enrollment in India? How
have these changed over time and across different regions of India?

Industry and Trade: What have been the trends in industrial production and exports in India
over the past few decades? How have these
changed over time and across different regions
of India?

These arejust a few examples of the types of research questions that can be answered
using the data available on IndiaStat. By using this data, researchers can
gain a better
understanding of the trends and patterns in different aspects of Indian
society and the
economy, and use this information to gain insights into the
country's past and present.
