The Importance of Research:

Study implications:

The main purpose of the research is to get deep into the

topic so that something helpful can churn out, which can be
helpful for everybody and used in that particular niche
sector.

The quality which you maintain while research should

always be high so that the information that you get can be
used in certain policies and any future project implications.

Goals of Research:

Working on a research project will obviously be a

challenging and rewarding experience, provided you put the
best of your expertise and skill in it.

It is an opportunity that helps you to pursue an in-depth or

deep original study about any topic which interests you.

The main aim of the goals is to provide the best of the

solution to some of the world problems and also to enhance
our knowledge.
The “Iterative” Process of Research:

Iteration is one of the keys to successful research.

Researches usually do not end, the study goes on deep and
deep.

There may be instances when you will take the time to find
the expected results but ultimately you will be getting the
outcome.

One thing that you will always observe during research, are
the questions that arise one after the other. These questions
usually lead to new ideas, revisions, and improvements.

All these, in turn, will be very helpful in the research process

making data more effective and useful.

How does research impact our daily

life:
“Research is to see what everybody else has seen, and to
think what nobody else has thought.” – Albert Szent-Gyorgyi

In simple words, have you ever thought about how would be

the world have been without any development of technology
or anything?
Well, the life people enjoy now or the things that we do in
minutes which earlier looked impossible are all because of
the research.

Research not limited to any one sector but has been done for
almost every sector.

Some of them are technology, healthcare, defense,

precautionary steps against natural calamities and many
more.

So research plays a very important role in our day to day

life.

Research is the best and reliable way to understand and act

on the complexities of various issues that we as humans are
facing.

“…Aside from the pure pursuit of knowledge for its own

sake, research is linked to problem-solving,” John
Armstrong, a respected global higher education, and
research professional write for The Conversation.
“What this means is the solving of other people’s problems.
That is, what other people experience as problems”.

What is Educational Research?

Any kind of educational research requires a few steps of
inquiry to provide the solution to any particular research
query.

Creswell defines educational research as,

“…Aside from the pure pursuit of knowledge for its own

sake, research is linked to problem-solving,” John
Armstrong, a respected global higher education, and
research professional write for The Conversation.

Types of Educational Research:

There are majorly 3 types of educational research.

Descriptive:

This type of research will try to describe things as they

presently are.

Correlation:

This type of study will try to identify the relationship

between two or more things.

Experimental:

This research tries to display a relation between two or more

things. They usually might be groups.
The Importance of Research in the
Advancement of Society:

“Human needs never end”

Believe it or not, but it is the truth. We have habituated to

adapt to new things, as our desires and wants increases day
by day.

As our demands increase, the requirement of research also

rises. It can also be said that research is what that makes
our life easier. It is just the result of curiosity or a new
innovative idea.

When we have any problem, we usually think of a solution or

get confused. Several questions arise in our mind like what
do you think will the next big thing? or what to do to
overcome this problem.

Here comes the role of research. This helps us in many ways

and provides us with a complete solution to the problems
faced by humans. Now when we humans, satisfied without
any problems, this results in the advancement of society. So
research overall helps in the advancement and development
of society.
Why Research is Important to
Students?

The research is important for the students because it helps

them to have a detailed analysis of everything. When you
have a proper in-depth analysis of any topic, the result
comes out to be fruitful and also the knowledge is enhanced.
Other benefits of research to the students are as follows:

1. Enhances knowledge:

When you research any topic, you get to know detailed

information about that topic. The more the knowledge of the
topic, the more successful is the research. So, in order to get
good output, the student needs to do maximum research.

2. Clarifies confusion:

The research helps in clarifying the complicated facts and

figures. If the student has any doubt on the subject, the
student must research and study it in detail so as to remove
all sorts of confusion and get a proper understanding of the
content.

3. To have a proper understanding of the subject:

To understand the subject, one needs to go in depth of the
lines. The scanning of the content will never do any good for
the students.

In order to learn the subject and to know the unknown facts,

research, detail study, and full analysis are the must.

4. To learn about the methods and issues:

Proper reading, the finding is the only way by which you can
learn about the methods and the current issues. Not just the
current issues, rather the previous past issues can also learn
in detail through the research. The research includes various
methods by which it can be done.

5. Understand the published work:

Research is done through the work already published. The

experts and the researchers had already done some of the
research and the students are asked to go through that
published material to understand the idea and the vision of
those researchers.

6. Learn to create a balance between collaborative

and individual work:
When the students do research, they get to know how to
create a balance between the collaborative and the
individual work. Individual work in which the student has to
do, while the collaborative work means that work which has
already been done by the previous researchers.

So, in this manner, the students get to know which points to

take into consideration and which points are to be ignored.

7. To know the interest:

The students also get to know their area of interest.

Sometimes, the students aspire to become researchers only
in their near future which is quite helpful.

So, through this, we come to know that the research not only
helps with the accomplishment of the work but also helps in
understanding what needs to be done in their future.

8. To know how the original study originated:

Research is performed to understand the concept from

scratch. Like, if you wish to know from where has the
concept originated, then this could be done only through the
research work.
It can also define as an investigation because the student
eventually ends up with expanded research.

9. Understanding the rationale:

By engaging in the process of research, the students

understand the concept in an easier manner as the rationale
of the topic know in a better manner.

For example, by preparing the hypothesis, one truly

understands the nuances of the research topic. Not just this,
the research also helps in being a source of one on one
mentorship which also plays a vital role in the brain
development of the individual.

So, above are the reasons by which we come to know the

benefits of the research for the students.

What is the Importance of Research to

Humankind:

Humankind involves everything from a pin to an elephant.

Every bit of information, the things to live and survive are
needed for mankind, should be known.

As if the essentials will not be known then we will remain

illiterate, unaware of what is happening in the society or
around the world. Research is important for humankind
because of the various factors:

1. Helps in understanding society:

When one does some research related to society, the human

becomes aware and also alert of the good and bad things. In
order to know society’s norms, policies, code of conduct, one
needs to do proper research or it may become difficult to
survive in society.

2. Helps in knowing the culture:

Every society has it’s own culture. In order to understand

the culture of a particular society, research about that
society needed.

If you do not do research or read maximum about any topic,

you will fail to know the hidden meanings and the concepts
about society’s culture and will remain unaware of the same.
So, if you are curious to know and learn something new,
then the research work will help.

3. For more awareness, research needed:

To make yourself aware, reading is the key. Read the

published books and the research already done by an expert.
Once you have gone through the research work of great
alumni, you feel like being on the top of the world as the
information flows into your head. Not just this, if you wish to
plan any holiday, you become aware of the weather and the
requirements of that particular place. This way also research
is very helpful.

4. For making the right choices for a career:

Research needed in all fields, i.e. it is pervasive. For even

the smallest information, one needs to research and
understand.

For example, if you need to know about careers with greater

scope overseas, you will have to research that too. So, this
way research is of great importance to everyone, be it a
student, a traveler, teacher, professor, researcher himself.

5. Knowing the truth:

If you wish to know the truth about anything like reading,

learning, and research is the only way. When you read and
research on any topic, you get to know the truth.

The real facts and statistics come across which enlightens

the person and also increases one’s knowledge.
6. Update about the technology:

If there comes any new technology, the human gets to know

about that also through the research work.

So, basic research is helpful to humans to know what new is

coming in the market. Also, it helps in being updated about
the present scenario of the society one is living in.

7. Differences between good and bad:

When a person reads the already published material, it

builds trust and also enlightens one’s mind. The person is
able to differentiate between right and wrong which further
helps in the decision making process.

So, above are the reasons which say why one should do
research or what is the importance of research. It is for the
whole of mankind, which involves individuals from every
group and age. Whatever an individual reads, it somewhere
and at sometime surely helps as it gets accumulated in the
knowledge bank of an individual.

Why is Research Important in

Education:
As earlier said, the role of research is important in all fields,
in a similar manner, the importance of research in education
is very vital. This is because of various reasons like:

1. It is a systematic analysis:

In education, research is essential as it gives a systematic

analysis of the topic. Also, the objectives clearly defined in
the research process. One needs to study in a systematic and
controlled manner, and this is exactly what the research
work provides an individual.

2. Leads to great observations:

In the field of education, the research helps in coming to one

conclusion. That conclusion can achieve by observing the
facts and figures in depth.

So, such in depth knowledge is provided by following various

research methods only. In this way, research also assists in
leading to greater observations.

3. Results in predictions, theories, and many

principles:

The researchers come up with valid predictions, theories,

and great results through the observations, hypothesis and
research queries. So, this way also helps researchers to
come up with great conclusions.

4. Improving practices:

The educational research is important for the students to

improve practices and at the same time, it helps in
improving those individuals who really wish to bring
improvement in those practices.

So, this way educational research helps in the overall

improvement of the individual. Be it a student or any
teacher who is researching on some topic, it is of great help
to them. It acts as a lighthouse and empowers the individual.

5. Develops new understanding related to the

learning, teaching, etc:

The educators benefited through various research as it helps

them in having a better understanding of the subject. Along
with this, it develops greater understanding related to
teaching, learning and other educational administration.

The new knowledge further helps in improving the

educational practices of the teachers and professors.

6. Helps in initiating the action:

The research you do should result in performing some action
or practice. So, the research should aim to produce the
highest result which compliments the study. Also, you should
make sure your study ensures the applicable findings so as
to match the result.

Research helps in performing well and also sheds away all

the problems. This way, you are able to understand the role
of research which further helps in the decision making
process.

7. Helps in decision making:

Good research requires proper time and effort. It prepares

the person for taking essential decisions which further
necessitates the same from all the participants involved in
the process.

For better results, the participants need to consider the

required consequences and all the risks involved in the
whole process.

8. Brings consistency in the work:

When the work is done with full in-depth analysis, it tends to

be right and accurate. The process of research help brings
consistency in the work, which lessens the flaws and
mistakes in the final outcome of the process.

The consistency needed in all sorts of work or you might

have to end up getting the wrong and inaccurate result. The
research takes lots of time and effort, so the researcher has
to be specific and sure with the facts so that the end result is
clean and without any silly mistakes.

9. Motivates others:

Educational research builds patience because it is a lengthy

process. In order to get fruitful results, you need to build
patience and only then you will be able to motivate others.

Also, if your research is full of the right facts and figures, it

will ultimately motivate others. Not just this, accurate
research assists in enhancing the reader’s knowledge which
might not be possible for any other person.

So, above are some of the benefits that research provides in

the field of education. Every kind of research, every kind of
method has been always useful and gives a positive result. In
case, you find something fishy during the research work, it is
advisable to consult someone superior to you, or some
expert.
Research is useful in all the fields and is used by all the
departments, whether public or private. The research work
is done by all age groups, whether the students or the
teachers and even humankind in order to understand the
society, it’s rules and other policies.
