Research is evidence-based practice or a result that is proven repeatedly when called for, research is search for facts and knowledge. Finding reasons why research is important seems like a question which is obvious, as it is well known that without research every field may attain the state of rigidity or stagnation with no growth and no changes taking place, but many people avoid getting involved in research because of several reasons. The students may not show inclination towards research and the academician could just be doing it for the sake of promotion purposes. Yet, for those who want to learn new things, explore new thoughts and new ideas and involve in creating something new research is a must- whether or not they are members of a learning institution. The revolution in technological growth is the evidence to showcase the need of research in every sector. The results of research can lead to changes in methods and practices, doing research is not just an imperative, but a need.

Abstract


Research is evidence-based practice or a result that is proven repeatedly when called for, research is search for facts and knowledge. Finding reasons why research is important seems like a question which is obvious, as it is well known that without research every field may attain the state of rigidity or stagnation with no growth and no changes taking place, but many people avoid getting involved in research because of several reasons. The students may not show inclination towards research and the academician could just be doing it for the sake of promotion purposes. Yet, for those who want to learn new things, explore new thoughts and new ideas and involve in creating something new research is a must- whether or not they are members of a learning institution. The revolution in technological growth is the evidence to showcase the need of research in every sector. The results of research can lead to changes in methods and practices, doing research is not just an imperative, but a need. This paper explores the various reasons why research is important in education and what is its contribution in the development of the human growth and its civilization.
