Following are the types of Research. Fundamental Research Research Applied Research :- Applied Research is a form of systematic inquiry involving the practical application of science. It accesses & uses more part of the research communities accumulated theorem, knowledge method & techniques for a specific purpose applied research is compared to pure research in discussion about research, ideals, methodology programs and project. Applied research deals with solving practical problems & generally employs empirical methodologies. Because applied research resides in messy real world, strict research protocols may need to be released For Eg. It may be impossible to use a random sample. Thus transparency in the methodology is crucial. Implication for interpretation of results Action Research Applied

brought about by relaxing an otherwise strict canon of methodology should be considered. Fundamental Research :- Fundamental Research is also known as basic research. This research is carried out to increase the understanding of fundamental principles. It is not intended to yield immediate commercial benefits. Pure research can be thought of as arising out of curiosity. However in the long term it is out of curiosity. However in the long term it is the basic for many commercial products & Applied research . pure research generates now ideas, principles theories which may not be immediately utilized though are the foundations of modern progress to development in different areas. 3) Action Research :- Action research is a research imitated to solve as immediate problems or a reflective process of progressive problems solving by individuals working with others in team or as part of a Community of Practice to improve the way they address issue & Solve problems Action participating in an

organization change situation while conducting research. It can also be undertaken by larger organization assisted by professional researchers with the aim of improving their strategies & knowledge of the environments within which may practices. Research methodology :- To systematize a method of presentation some pattern is necessary. In research there are different types of method through which the researcher carries the activity some of those methods are as follows:Historical Method Descriptive Method Experimental Method

1) Historical Method :- Described what was the process involves investigation, recording, analyzing and interpreting the events of the past for the purpose of discovering generalization that for helpful in understanding the present

and in predicting the future. Historical research attempts to go back to primacy original or first-hand sources of information. 2) Descriptive Methods :- Describe what are it involves the description, recording, analysis and interpretation of present nature, composition or contract & may attempts to discover relationships that exist between

existing non-manipulated variables. 3) Experimental Methods :- Describes what will be when certain factors are carefully controlled. The focus is on the cause- effect relationship variables are carefully manipulated for the purpose of determining their influences. Population :- A research population is also known as well-defined collection of individuals or object known to have similar characteristics. All individuals or objects within a certain population usually have a common. Binding characteristic or trail. The research involves 30 students of K.M.E.S English medium Jr. College & Huda English Medium Jr. College. 3.6 SAMPLING The researcher has chosen simple random sampling 1) Simple Random Sampling :- Every member of the population has a known and equal chance of been selected. It is also called chance sampling. Eg. If we have to select a sample of 300 items from a universe of 1500 items, then we can put the name or member of all the 1500 items on slips of paper & Conduct a lottery. 2) Stratified Random Sampling :- Population is divided into martially exclusive groups such as age group & random Sample are drawn from each.

3) Cluster (Area) Sampling :- The population is divided into mutually exclusive groups such as block & the research drawn a sample of the group to interview. (Non-Probability Sampling) 1) Convinces Sampling :- The research selects the easiest population member from which to obtain information. 2) Judgment Sampling :- The researcher uses his judgement to select population member who are good prospects for accurate information. 3) Quota Sampling :- The researcher finds and interviews a prescribed member of people in each of several Categories. 3.7 TOOLS :The researcher has chosen simple random types of tools sampling for her research 1) Attitude Scales :- The information that attempts to measure the attitude or belief of an individual is known as attitude scale. 2) Sociogram :- A socio gram is a graphic representation of social links that a person has it is a graph drawn that plots the structure of interpersonal relation in a group situation. 3) Interview :- The interview is an oral questionnaire instead of writing the response the subject or interview given the needed information orally is a face to face conversion. 4) Observation : observation is a systematic viewing of specifies phenomenon in its proper setting together date for a particular study. 5) Checklist :- Checklist enables the observer note only whether or not a trail or characteristic in present.

6) Rating scale :- Rating scale is a device for obtaining judgments of the degree to which an individual process certain behavior traits & Attributes. 7) Questionnaire :- A questionnaire consists of the set of questions presented to a respondent for answers.

As there are no standard answer to these questions. 3) Combination of both :- it begin with a series of both closed & ended questions with basic to tick or scles to rank & then finish with a section of open ended question. The researcher has chosen Yes/ No type closed ended questionnaire for researcher. 3.8 Data Collection :- The following procedure was adopted to collect data for the research 1) Questionnaire was Xeroxed in excess 2) The Xeroxed copies of questionnaire was distributed among the J.R College students of K.M.E.S and Huda J.R College

4) Their responses was collected.
