''A research problem is not solved by apparatus; it is solved in a man's head'. - Charles F.
Kettering.
The purpose of education is to empower an individual to succeed in the future. Success depends upon how far students experiment on their own and realise that the method of learning is connected to reality. It is the duty of the teachers to support the real facts of life by connecting classroom lectures with real-life experiences. Teacher educators can train the student teachers since they are the future teachers of the young students by planting the seeds of knowledge of the future through pragmatic research.
Today, there is a mixed scenario of research in education. Research in education is repetitive, devoid of freshness in the case of research problem, approach and in methodology. Philosophical & historical studies are very rare. There is more of descriptive and quantitative research than qualitative research. There is more of borrowed methodology than indigenous. There is lack of continuity, cumulativeness and synthesis in most of the studies. Culture for incubation of ideas is grossly lacking. Research methodology must be compatible with the local problems. Today, Compatible indigenous research methodology has to be evolved in social sciences researches. The pursuit of knowledge should be conducted with sincerity and care in the research.
