The educational
-researches are concerned with three goals and educational research activities
are oriented to achieve these three Objectives:
1.
Theoretical Objectives
This may be
referred to the development of theory. The scientific researches may lead to
the establishment of new edifice of knowledge or thoughts. The theoretical
research always has implications for future action and should allow the
prediction of natural phenomenon. In educational, theoretical bases are given
for practice. Theory of education deals with entire framework of Education.
Theoretical expansion is essential in the field of education.
2.
Factual Objectives
A second objective
of educational research is to find out-new facts or the accommodation of new facts.
This serves descriptive function. An investigator usually concerns with the
objective together specific information through surveys or historical studies.
The problems of this nature can be solved
by scientific enquiry.
3.
Practical Objectives
When a theory is
applied in a action, it is termed as practical purpose. The third objective is
to solve a practical problem, which is of immediate concern with an
investigator. The purpose is to improve and modify the practice. The applied
research and action research focus the attention towards the practical aspects.
This objective may be achieved individually or collectively but the purpose is
the improvement of current practices. The result of such investigations does
not contribute in the fund of knowledge. These are usually personal projects to
bring excellence in their own job. The problems may be solved by scientific
procedure but critical thinking or trial error procedure may solve some
problems.
