USE OF ICT IN RESEARCH

9. A research scholar while writing his/her thesis uses ICT at various stages of research conducted. He/she justifies the conceptual errors in

interpreting results attributing the same to the specific ICT devices.

This will be labeled as

ATechnical incompetence

B. Research design’s inadequacy

C. Moral and ethical lapse

D. Human error

कोई शोधार्थी अपना शोध प्रबंध लिखते समय शोध के विभिन्न चरणों में आई सी टी (ICT) का प्रयोग करता / करती है। वह परिणामों का निर्वचन करने में अवधारणात्मक त्रुटियों को सही ठहराता / ठहराती है और इसके लिए विशिष्ट आई सी टी युक्तियों को जिम्मेदार मानता / मानती है। इसको कहा जाएगा:

A. तकनीकी अक्षमता

B. शोध डिजाइन की अपर्याप्तता

C. नैतिक और नीति-विषयक कमी

Certainly! The option “A. Technical incompetence” refers to the lack of technical skills or proficiency in handling and interpreting data or results obtained through the use of ICT (Information and Communication Technology) devices during the research process. In this scenario, the research scholar is justifying conceptual errors in interpreting the results and attributing them to the specific ICT devices used.

When conducting research, especially with the involvement of ICT devices, it is crucial to have a strong understanding of the tools and techniques used for data collection, analysis, and interpretation. Technical competence refers to the ability to effectively and accurately use these tools and technologies.

In this case, if the research scholar is attributing errors in interpreting the results to the specific ICT devices, it implies that they lack the necessary technical skills or knowledge to appropriately utilize or interpret the data obtained from these devices. They may not have a comprehensive understanding of the capabilities, limitations, or proper methodologies associated with using ICT devices in research.

The label of “technical incompetence” suggests that the research scholar’s deficiencies lie in their technical expertise, which may hinder their ability to accurately analyze and interpret the research findings. It highlights the need for further training, development of skills, or seeking assistance from experts to overcome these limitations and ensure accurate research outcomes.

It is important for researchers to continuously improve their technical competence to minimize errors and enhance the validity and reliability of their research findings. This includes being aware of potential biases or limitations associated with the use of ICT devices and taking necessary precautions to address them.
