Basic Research Training
MKCRD provides foundational research training for those new to the field. Our Basic Research Learning program covers essential research methods, data collection techniques, and analysis tools. This training is designed to equip individuals with the fundamental skills required to undertake social research, from formulating research questions to writing reports. The program ensures that participants are well-prepared to begin their own research projects with confidence and clarity.
Advanced Research Training
The Advanced Research Training at MKCRD offers a full-cycle research experience, guiding students through the entire process—from team formation and training to data collection and publication.
Step 1: Team Formation & Training: Interns are grouped into teams of 3-5 members and receive specialized training on research methodologies, proposal writing, and project design.
Step 2: Data Collection & Analysis: Teams gather data and analyze it under the mentorship of MKCRD experts, applying research methods to real-world issues.
Step 3: Report Writing & Publication: Teams compile their findings into a comprehensive research report, with guidance on how to structure, write, and present their research. Interns are supported in publishing or presenting their research through MKCRD’s platforms or external venues.
This model is designed to provide interns with hands-on experience, from conceptualization to publication, allowing them to gain a holistic understanding of the research process.
