Dimapur, Oct. 7 (EMN): A one-day workshop on research methodology was organised by the Research Cell of Kohima College, Kohima, with Dr. Seyiekhrielie Whiso, assistant professor and IQAC coordinator, Science College, Jotsoma, as resource person.
“Research Methodology is a specific technique of selecting the right tools to analyse data,” stated Dr. Watijungshi, KCK’s principal in his keynote address. He encouraged the college teachers to focus on research work as the quality of a college depends on its teachers and that research activities carry a huge plus point during NAAC assessments which strives for “quality.”
Dr. Eunice Alinger, secretary of Research Cell, KCK, while outlining on the importance of the workshop, stated that the Research Cell, KCK, initiated the workshop for various reasons. She also stated that no Indian University has a place at the top in the Global University Ranking adding in the last five years the ranking of the Indian universities has gradually declined.
She stressed on urgency in introducing research work in India and add volume of research work to become more competitive in the global ranking. She however noted that there is now an unhealthy trend of research activities being taken up by teachers hurriedly for the sake of promotion which results in poor-quality research.
She, therefore, said the objective of the Research Cell, KCK, was to encourage the faculty members to do research purely out of love for research. She added that as educators, it was essential to write about Naga culture and document oral narratives.
Resource person, Dr. Seyiekhrielie, in his presentation, elucidated on the methods and techniques, objectives, types and structure of a research paper. He also stressed on the UGC norms and amendments in API under CAS (Career Advancement Scheme).
The concluding remarks were given by Moanungla Kevichusa, HOD English Department, KCK, while the vote of thanks was delivered by Megovono Usou, coordinator, IQAC, KCK.
