প্ৰজ্ঞা-An intuition

From 3rd September 2025 to 22nd September 2025, we had our refresher course. Each day consisted of four sessions running from 9:30 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. quite a long schedule. We were provided with good food free of cost: a healthy breakfast in the morning, lunch, and tea breaks in between. Various teaching professionals were invited to deliver lectures and share their insights on specific topics, which made the sessions engaging and informative. On the 18th and 19th of September, we had our MCQ tests and PowerPoint presentations. The schedule was arranged alphabetically, and since my name starts with P, I had my turn on the 19th. On that day, the presentations began at 2:00 p.m. In the middle of our session, we received the heartbreaking news that Assam’s heartthrob, Zubeen Garg, had passed away in Singapore. At first, the news was not fully confirmed, so we continued with our presentations. But once the confirmation came, we were all completely devastated. After the 19th, the entire envi...

On Saturday, 30th August, at 10:30 in the morning, Polly Ma’am conducted an online class where I had to present my research topic—why I chose it, why it is a problem, and the criteria I used. Ma’am mentioned that among all five of us, I was the only one who could clearly present the research problem. This boosted my confidence. For Monday’s class, she gave us another assignment: to read two research papers, identify which theory the authors have used, explain the problem, why and how they applied that theory, and how it relates to policy change.

On 1st September 2025, we attended the classes of PV Ma’am and AB Ma’am. On 2nd September 2025, in our 3rd Semester PV Ma’am’s class, we learned and revisited the Observation Method and Participant Methods of Research. Later, during our coursework class, I had to present my assignment: reading two research papers, identifying the theories used by the authors, explaining the problems addressed, why and how the theories were applied, and how they relate to policy change. In addition, I also reflected on why and how those theories could be applied in my own research and how they might influence policy change in my area of study. By God’s grace, I was able to present it well. Ma’am appreciated me, saying “You are so structured and so clear.” She even told my fellow classmates, “She is too good.”

In PKB Ma’am’s class, she shared many PDFs of original books. That day, I had to speak on Mary Wollstonecraft. She appreciated me, saying, ‘You’ve read the article thoroughly—that’s great.

At 9 AM, we had our Research Methodology class with Polly ma’am (3rd semester). She discussed Qualitative research, longitudinal research, conceptual research, and empirical research.After class, Anuradha and I went to meet our guide. On 25th August evening, she had interviewed us on a specific topic related to her own research. That day, I shared my thoughts in my mother tongue. Yesterday, she appreciated it and said: “You speak very well.” “You must study and write well.” “The students of DR College must be really missing you.” “Your hair accessories look very pretty.” “You both are excellent.” Later, we spent time in the library searching for books related to our research topics. My crochet hair accessories added a little handmade touch to the day.

Re-write:What is Research? Research is a scientific, systematic, and logical process that begins with identifying a research gap and proceeds through appropriate methods and tools, forming a sound methodology. It is rigorous and relevant, carried out under control, and based on rational inquiry with critical evaluation. Research draws conclusions through inferential and structural analysis, aiming at the production and reproduction of knowledge. It produces new knowledge by ensuring validity, systematic inquiry, and logical reasoning. ●What is Social Science Research? Social Science Research is a scientific and systematic study undertaken to understand social reality and the social world. It aims to explore social problems and social issues by focusing on their different social aspects. The process begins with describing the content, then contextualizing it within society, and finally conceptualizing the findings in a meaningful framework.
