As we know that research means to create new knowledge, application of exist knowledge, creation of insight in already known knowledge and for this we are conducting research. we also know that we have many types of research i.e. on the basis of research we have two type of research 1- Fundamental research and 2- Applied research, on the basis of nature of knowledge we have 3 types of research i.e. Philosophical research, Scientific research and Historical Research, on the basis of process we have many types of research i.e. Experimental research, Case study research, Survey research ( I do not accept survey as research method because survey is just for data collection process nothing else), Ex-post fact research, Ethnography research, Historical research, phenomenological research etc. Now problem is that the scientific research starts through hypothesis but as an examiner of many thesis I seen that there is no hypothesis in the research thesis while the researcher are formulated assumptions and saying hypothesis. We know that hypothesis is formulated with two clause first clause represents the action and second clause represents the tentative answer therefore hypothesis writes If........ and then ............
we can take an example like- If teaching effectiveness of physics teachers of universities measure on the dimension of command of content, presentation style in classroom, interaction between students during class teaching and time management then there will be difference between male and female physics teachers of universities on above dimensions.
But many of researchers writes only second clause as hypothesis while it is assumption not hypothesis because second clause is just general inference not conditional or specific situations. Here too much misunderstand in between hypothesis and assumption. One more important thing is that assumption will be proved while hypothesis will be tested. So, it is must for research guide to for conceptual clarity of research and their method and for research without understand the research methodology don't start the research.
On the above brief description about research concept and hypothesis will create quality in research otherwise we will just bind the thesis and increase the no.
Hypothesis is explicitly tested by an experiment while an assumption is tested implicitly. Means difference is in level of acceptability of both things. Sometimes experiment is behind and some times not that is the last thing. While which research falls in which category it depends on its use, applications, scope and concepts it covers. Basically it's about framing the knowledge and it's levels change itself during this process as per things it includes.
1. Since hypothesis is a tentative statement regarding Alternative and Null hypothesis. However, the research follows the significance of P value at 90%,95% and 99% confidence levels. So, in this connection, the misunderstanding of hypothesis will be done while delivering the results.
2.Framing Type 1 and Type 2 errors at different situations
The term hypothesis is a tentative assumption that we made before proceeding to our research. It represent a idea on the basis of which our whole research is based. So, common misunderstanding about hypothesis is that it is considered as assumption which is wrong. And there are various types of researches that include different hypotheses so, we should see which type of research we are conducting and accordingly we have to use type of hypothesis as well.
Without action there can not be results and further things. Scientifically when something is present concrete then only next things
considered otherwise base is required first of all to think in a direction. But when same thing is implemented in theoretical environment then a huge difference may come and many things
may confuse the examiner or observer. But final answer will be according to all parameters present and environment they create. If experimental basis is present then only we can come to direct results otherwise all things will take time to reach to the conclusion and standard method is must to follow.
