ONLINE RESEARCHPROJECT ON INDUSTRIAL TRAINING
FOR
5th SEMESTERS OF B.S C. (MARITIME HOSPITALITY STUDIES )
INSTRUCTIONS FOR RESEARCH /PROJECT
FOR ACADEMIC YEAR 2020 – 21 & 2021 - 22
For the Academic year 2020 -21, the Industrial Training pertaining to Semester V is to be
replaced by an Online Research Project because of the Covid 19 pandemic. The Online
Research Project may be qualitative or quantitative.
Each student of 5th Semester as the case may be is required to do a n Online Research Project
in fulfilment of the requirement of the Internship Semester.
For the purpose of the Online Research Project, each college will divide their students into
batches of 10 – 15 students each and will allot a research guide as per the Research Project
Topic, who will guide and monitor them through this journey of Online Research Project.
The guide could be a subject expert in the relevant topic selected by the student.
The student will be restricted to collecting data using interactive digital platforms only.
During the tenure of research, no student must venture out for data collection or sampling and
maintain the norms of social distancing. Safety of the students is of prime importance.
At periodic intervals of no t more than 15 days, the guide will interact with each student
(online) assessing the progress of the Online Research Project. This interactive session may
also be used for resolving doubts that a student may come up with while pr ogressing in his
project.
The Topic for Research /Project can be chosen by the student based on his/her area of interest
in hospitality and tourism areas. Once a student has chosen and confirmed his topic of
research with his guide/mentor, he /she will no t be allowed to change or deviate from the
chosen topic.
Students would do a Basic Research Methodology course before they start their research
projects.

GUIDELINES TO A RESEARCH /PROJECT
CONTENTS OF A RESEARCH /PROJECT REPORT
INTRODUCTION.
•This section includes discussions concerning the practical and/or theoretical importance of
the topic as well as a description of the research problem. It often starts by introducing the
reader to the topic and making a case for the practical significance of the issues being
investigated and/or the contribution that the study could make to our understanding of the
phenomenon.
•The statement of research problem(s) is intended to indicate what th e general purpose of the
study is. This is often done through broadly stated questions or statements regarding whether
and how the research variables are (or are expected to be) related to (or affected by) one
another.
•Finally, the introduction section should include the working definitions of those terms used
in the study that do not have a commonly known meaning or for which several meanings may
be used.
REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE AND THE RESEARCH MODEL.
Page 9
•The review of the related literature describes and analyzes the published studies that are
directly related to, and/or have some relevance to, the topic and research questions at hand.
•Related literature should be integrated with, and weaved into, the material in this section and
not be sim ply catalogued.
•The review could conclude with a brief summary of the literature and its implications.
•The study's theoretical/conceptual model and its hypotheses are developed based on the
researcher's logical reasoning as well as the implications of his/her literature review.
• Note that the study's hypotheses should be stated in a language consistent with its proposed
conceptual framework and the literature review; they should not be stated in the null and
alternate hypotheses forms.
•Also, a well -developed hypothesis is testable; that is, it can be confirmed or disconfirmed
through the collection and analysis of data.
METHODOLOGY.
•The methodology section includes a description of the research sample (subjects), data
collection method, measure ment instruments, and data analysis procedures.
•The description of sample/subjects includes not only the sample size and statistics regarding
the subjects but also a definition and description of the population from which the sample
was selected.
•This section also describes the method used in selecting the sample or samples. In the case
of questionnaire surveys, information on response rates also should be provided.
•The description of instruments should identify and briefly describe all instruments u sed to
collect data pertinent to the study, be they tests, questionnaires, interview or observation
forms, or unobtrusive data such as absenteeism reports or productivity figures.
•When possible, information on validity and reliability of the measures us ed should be
reported. Also, sources should be cited for measurement instruments/procedures (e.g., scales)
developed by other researchers.
•The method section is usually concluded with a few statements about the analysis
procedures utilized to test the study's hypotheses.
RESULTS & DISCUSSION.
•Some authors use a single section to both present and discuss the data analysis results.
Others deal with the two issues in two separate sections. In either case, the statistical
techniques that were applied to the data must be mentioned and the results of each analysis
summarized, tabulated, and then discussed. For each research hypothesis, the statistical test
of significance selected and applied to the data is briefly described, followed by a statement
indicating whether the hypothesis was supported or not supported. Tables and figures are
used to present analyses results in summary and/or graph form and to add clarity to the
presentation. Good tables and figures are uncluttered, self -explanatory, and non -redundant.
•In addition to simply presenting the results in a straightforward manner, the author also has
to provide the readers with his/her interpretation of the results, implications of the findings,
conclusions and recommendations. Each result is dis cussed in terms of the original
hypothesis to which it relates and in terms of its agreement or disagreement with results
obtained by other researchers in similar/related studies. If the results are consistent with the
theoretical model, researcher's expe ctations, and/or findings of other researchers,
explanations must be provided as to what the results mean and what their theoretical and
practical implications are. When the results do not support the hypotheses and/or contradict
Page 10
previous findings, not on ly their meaning, but also possible reasons for the discrepancies
must be discussed.
•Often during a study apparent and/or interesting relationships will be noticed that were not
hypothesized by the researcher. These unforeseen results should be acknowled ged and
discussed. Such results often form the basis for future studies specifically designed to
examine the issue more carefully.
•Finally, the researcher should address the study's limitations and make recommendations for
future research. It is notable that in the discussion portion of this section the researcher is
often permitted more freedom to express opinions and reasonable speculations/assertions that
may be rather indirectly and implicitly based on data analysis results.
SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS.
•This section is very similar to the abstract section except that it appears at the end of the
report (preceding the REFERENCE section).
•It summarizes the study's findings in an easy to understand manner. It also explains the
practical implications of those findings, and points to recommended directions for future
research in that area.
REFERENCES/BIBLIOGRAPHY.
•The references section, or bibliography, lists all the sources, alphabetically by authors' last
names that were directly used in writing the report.
Every source cited in the paper must be included in the references, and every entry listed in
the references must appear in the paper.
•Style manuals, such as the APA (American Psychological Association) manua l, will give
you the correct procedure for all in -text and reference citations.
•This form is usually different for books, jo
•journal articles, and magazine articles. It is recommended that you use the APA style. It is
important that whatever form is used be followed consistently.
APPENDIC ES.
•Appendi ces include information and data pertinent to the study that either are not important
enough to be included in the main body of the report or are too lengthy.
•Appendi ces contain such entries as mater ials especially developed for the study (e.g., tests,
questionnaires, and cover letters), coding scheme, print out of raw data, and the computer
print -out of statistical analyses.
RESEARCH AREAS
Hospitality is identified as the act of giving genuine care and kindness to a stranger, friend or
whoever is in need. Hospitality involves friendly treatment of guests or tourists and is a very
important sector in the tourism industry. Hospitality industry covers
• Accommodation
