Introduction to Social Research Methods (Burmese & English)

The book is a research manual primarily targeted to Myanmar individuals who are involved in social projects or have an interest in developing their research skills, but have little knowledge of how to conduct social research. We also hope that this manual will be of interested to a larger audience at a time when social research is much needed in Myanmar.

The manual is divided in two parts: Basic level (Chapter 1-12) for those who have no prior knowledge of how to conduct research; and Intermediate level (Chapter 13-21) for those who have some acquaintance with social research. Chapters in the first part introduce the basic concepts of social research and the research methods commonly used for collecting data. Chapters in the second part elaborate some of the concepts introduced in the first part. They also give guidance on how to produce evidence based on the data collected and how to produce reports.
