The book Business Research Methodology has been written as per Indian University Syllabus. The book covers both theoretical explanations and quantitative techniques of research required in business. The contents include chapters like defining research problem, development of research methods, research designs, problems of measurement, problems of validity, sampling techniques, qualitative and quantitative analysis, report writing etc. Chapters like case study method, survey, focus group discussion and multivariate analysis are add-ons explaining the techniques in detail, but in a simple way. A unique feature of the book is sub-chapters 'How to do', after every chapter. It is Learning by discussion. Two research scholars 'Jolly and Dolly' discuss the issues in research in a sample language. Fifteen research projects contributed by research scholars from various colleges and universities are discussed and analyzed by these research scholars. It is learning by role play method.

This book has been so designed as to familiarize a beginner with the basic concepts of research, approaches to research, categories of research, preparation of research proposals, etc., on the one hand and to train him in the use of basic mathematical and statistical methods for his advantage. A researcher with no mathematical background will find it an acceptable foundation course in quantitative techniques. Research methodology is also taught as a basic course in the recently introduced M. Phil. programmers in many Indian Universities. The book, we hope, shall cater to their requirements as well.

This book is likely to prove to be a 'cry in the wilderness'. But it is not a, 'crying wolf'. In early April this year the author was standing in front of 'Swamiji's mango tree' at Belur Math for the umpteenth time perhaps. This grand old sentinel had been standing there even before Swami Vivekananda had acquired the land for the Ramakrishna Math and Mission on the Western bank of the Ganga. This was in 1898. It has thus been a witness to Divine events, and is perhaps now at least one hundred and twenty-five years old, still bearing mangoes and giving shade. This book is appearing at a time when education in India is being treated as a 'business' sector worth 90 billion per year, when teachers in handsomely remunerative government institutions are resorting to hunger strikes and else for still larger pay packets, etc. It is appearing in a period when heavy-weight opinion-moulders are writing books with titles like − 'Fault Lines of Mind Civilization', 'The Siege Within', 'India Unbound' and the like. They do not seem to mind advocating, 'compound fracturelines, or 'siege without', or 'borrowed bondages'. They forget, or ignore that this is the land of 'guru-gariba-vasa' ages ago Vishnusharma (of Panchatantra fame) had refused to accept any remuneration for educating a Kings children. Education, sbiksha daan was not put for sale. These pages are seeing the light of day also when this author had been summarily put down by two senior IAS officers (once at Mussoorie and once at IIM Calcutta) asserting that Vivekananda was not an authority on Indian culture and whatever he had done was outside India, nothing within. Moreover, it is a time when gross national product (GNP) is soaring while gross national character (GNC) is nosediving. The book is emerging when the world seems to have turned wild. Everything is being made unsustainable: harmony at home, sacred manage, frugal lifestyle, purity of air and water, harmony with Nature, nobility in teacher-student relationships, etc., − Quiet desperation − has yielded to groaning desperation. Yet, ironically, all this is accompanied by the stupid cant of sustainable development. The pervasive tendency now is one of ugly duplicity − which this book has tried to avoid. Contents - 1.

The Curriculum Framework for the Two Year B.Ed. Programme, rightly suggested that student-teachers should be encouraged to become reflective practitioners. For this, three interrelated areas were suggested – Perspectives in Education, Curriculum and Pedagogic Studies and Engagement with the Field. One of the courses suggested under Perspectives in Education is 'Knowledge and Curriculum'. This course aims at introducing students to perspectives in education and focusing on epistemological and social bases of education. The framework notes that this will help prospective teachers to take decisions about and shape educational and pedagogic practice with greater awareness of the theoretical and conceptual underpinnings that inform it. The National Curriculum Framework for Teacher Education (NCFTE, 2009) elaborated the context, concerns and vision of Teacher Education and underscored that Teacher Education and school education have a symbiotic relationship. Development in both, Teacher Education and School Education will, therefore, reinforce each other and bring about a qualitative change in the educational scenario. To ensure this quality, it is necessary for all teachers to thoroughly examine the concepts of knowledge, curriculum, syllabus and textbooks. After all, curriculum is not something that is 'handed down to teachers'; rather it is something that is 'created by teachers'. Mindful endeavours will help teachers understand the curriculum and decide the best means to transact the curriculum. The present book is a humble effort to help student-teachers and teacher-educators delve into the realms of the epistemological and social bases of education. The book helps to explore various facets related to knowledge, education and curriculum. The contributions of various educational philosophers have been examined from the point of view of their influence on present-day education. Education has witnessed a marked change due to changes in society. The impact of these changes has been analyzed. Appropriate research studies have been taken into consideration and quoted wherever necessary. Concept maps have been included to encapsulate the essence of certain concepts. A special feature of the book is the inclusion of some cases of exemplary education. These examples not only clarify concepts like democratic education and multicultural education, but they also inspire teachers to emulate the efforts of great educationists. Contents - 1.
