This textbook familiarises the reader with the knowledge of the concepts of educational research, research process, and its outcome. The book presents its content, related to educational research, in eight chapters in simple and lucid language. It consists of detailed discussions about the basics of educational research, research problem, review of literature, hypothesis, sampling, research designs, tools of research, analysis, and report writing. The inclusion of quantitative and qualitative designs, brief discussion about the application of statistics, and the reporting style add to the book.The volume initiates with the basic concepts of educational research, focuses on the research problem, and clarifies the need for review of the related literature to progress to the next critical phase: the formulation of a hypothesis. Discussing the sampling process that plays a pivotal role in ensuring the reliability, relevance, and applicability of the study's outcomes, it explores the research design that facilitates an efficient research process which is followed by the analysis of data collected through the application of research tools to a selected sample. Despite the rigour and insight of a study, it remains incomplete and ineffective unless its findings are communicated to the intended audience. This necessitates the inclusion of the research reporting and the development of professionalism in the research area.This comprehensive textbook will be an invaluable reference guide for undergraduate and postgraduate students and doctoral scholars across various disciplines like social sciences, management, education, and allied fields. It will also appeal to readers interested in the intersections of education, research, and societal development. Pedagogically rich, this book ensures relevance and practicality for students to equip them with research
