SVYASA Online Classes Summary

Any research has to start with Research Problem.

Research Problem: It is nothing but Research Gap.

Research Gap: From journals we came to know that Trataka was studies on eye sight, but not stress. So
this is the Research Gap.

Intervention:

Intervention Group:

Control Group: Intervention is not given.

Sources of Research Problem: Choose a broad topic. Then some reading. Then narrow it down. Come to
one point. Then identify the research problem and then question. Should be focused, measurable,
researchable. No random question. From where to get sample, sample size, questionnaire,
measurement tools, proper variable, etc. Some questionnaires are very costly. Whether feasible. Should
be clear.

Synopsys/ Research Proposal: Pre-synopsis. These are the measurement tools I will use, sample source,
variables, population, place to go interested in. Should help society.

Pilot Study: No earlier study. Can be done on small group.

Problem Statement: Framing of Problem in proper sentence is Problem Statement.

Problem Question: From the Problem Statement in the form of question is “Problem Question”.

Different research can be done like: Systematic Review, Meta-Analysis.

For MSc, we keep Intervention only. Min Duration 1 month. Max 3 to 6 months for MSc.

Research Process:

1. Identification of Research Problem

2. Literature review
3. Preparation of Conceptual and Theoretical Framework
4. Formulate Hypothesis
5. Preparation of Research Design
6. Sampling
7. Data collection
8. Data analysis
9. Reporting

1. Identification of Research Problem: we did. Day to day problems. Experience. First Pilot Project.
Then start research. Talking to expert of the field (yoga).
2. Literature Review: Two kinds”
 a. Ancient Literature Review: Like in Chhandogya Upanishad. Indian and Foreign Literature
– Can also be considered. Proper structure.
b. Scientific Literature Review

Research Methodology:

Citation and References: SVYASA uses APA format.

Vancouver – is numbering system.

Bibliography v/s Reference

In the report, recent studies first. Try not to use very old studies. Prioritize on 5 years first.

Good Researcher qualities

 Effect of Influencing Variable (Independent Variable) on the Influenced Variable (Dependent

Variable) on Young Boys (Population).

Source of Research Problems:

- Reading journal article

- Research not done on any aspect (like Reading article on trataka given for myopia persons. Now
we can think giving Trataka for children on who fatigue was tested and its impact) This is
research gap.
- Talking to Therapists
- Talking with common people
