Assessment of knowledge of primary research among post-graduate student-teachers

Primary research gives us first-hand knowledge and new ways of thinking about a subject or question, and it is an important part of both academic and scientific inquiry. It means getting information from experiments, surveys, interviews, observations, and other ways of gathering information. This kind of study is necessary to find out novel ideas, test hypotheses, and prove that theories are correct. This study investigates the knowledge of primary research among post-graduate student-teachers. The study has been conducted on a representative sample of 100 post-graduate student-teachers. A questionnaire developed and validated by the researcher has been used to collect the data. The statistical techniques t-test, two-way ANOVA, and Tukey’s multiple posthoc procedures were used for the analysis. The study found significant differences between post-graduate education (M.Ed.) and physical education (M.P.Ed.), male and female student-teachers with knowledge scores towards conducting primary research.
