1. The document discusses the functions and importance of research design which includes identifying procedures to conduct a study and ensuring validity through quality. 2. It states that research design provides a blueprint that specifies procedures for measuring variables, selecting samples, collecting and analyzing data to test hypotheses. 3. Key aspects that must be covered in a research design are the study population, how it will be identified, what data will be collected and why, and how respondents will be contacted. This helps obtain accurate answers to research questions.
Functions of Research Design
- 2. Important Concept Your achievement is worth praising What you want to study How you are going to conduct your study What procedure will you adopt How will you carry out the task What should you do or not to do Core of research design
- 3. What is a Research Design Research design is a rode map Answers should beValid, objective and accurate It is a procedural-cum-operational Research design is the arrangement of conditions Research design is a plan of decision about questions Q1-What study you give to use Q2- How you select your respondent Q3-How you collect your information from respondent Q4-How you analyzed your data Q5-How you communicate your findings
- 4. Researcher Justification Your rational and justification shape your decision about your research journey Critically support your justification from literature reviewed Results are reliable and valid for you and others
- 5. According toThyer A traditional research design is a blue-print for how research study is completed, operational variables used for measured and selecting sample of study, collecting data is used for testing hypotheses and analys the results.
- 6. Functions of Research Design: There are two main functions of research design: 1. The first one refers the identification of procedures to undertake a study. 2. Second one emphasizes the importance of their quality to ensure validity of research.
- 7. Through research design you can: • Conceptualize an operational plan. • Ensures the procedures to obtain accurate answers of research questions.
- 8. Important requirements: • Specify everything clearly . • Everything should be written in detail. • Named the research design like:- before and after, comparative, random experiment etc. • Should provide information about the following: Who will constitute the study population. How will the study population be identified.
- 9. What type of data should be collected for use and why. In the case of interviews where will they be conducted. How should respondents contact you if they have queries.
- 10. Theory of causality and the research design: in social sciences, there are many causes that are responsible for changing a phenomenon, while on other hand there are so many factors on which we do not have any control. these factors can effect the phenomenon. sometimes there are one independent variable and two. if you add more independent variable then it makes it more complicated, expensive and difficult. All these variables have link with dependent variables.
- 11. It helps you to understand different set of independent variables that cause the change in the dependent variables. It also helps you to determine and isolate the impact of different categories of variables. You validly, objectively and accurately verify the impact of independent variables.

- 13. There are set of factors that can effect the relationship between counseklling and marriage problems. 1. Counselling (independent variables) 2. The change in positive and negative in the extent of martial problems (extraneous variables).
- 14. Hence in any casual relationship, changes in the independent variablesmay be attributed to three types of variables: Change in the dependent variables Change attributable to independent variables Change attributable to extraneous variables Change attributable to a chance or random variables
