Abstract

Research in education is being conducted in central universities, state universities, deemed-to be universities, private universities, and institutes of India. The Indian education system has not utilized the findings of research in education for improving the teaching-learning process, evaluation procedures, the development of instructional material, curricular as well as co-curricular activities, etc. One of the reasons for not utilizing findings is the quality of research in education. In this paper an attempt was made to peep deep into the quality of research in education conducted at the doctoral level and available on Shodhganga. The criteria used for studying the quality of research in education were wording of title, objectives and hypothesis, sampling techniques, tools, experimental design (only for experimental research), data analysis, and findings. Data were collected from theses of 178 universities in India available on Shodhganga. Each thesis uploaded on Shodhganga was analyzed in respect of the wording of the title of research, the wording of objectives & hypotheses, sampling techniques, tools, experimental design, data analysis, and findings. On the basis of content analysis, it was found that, on the whole, research in education is too weak from all points of view. Thus, there is an urgent need to think of a strategy to be used for improving the quality of research in education.
