RESEARCH PROPOSAL

BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY:

This research is based on identifying the attitudes towards various online academic courses
which students seek to pursue their careers in, the institute specializes in business related
academics but seeks to further expand its offering towards the field of information technology
and computer science as the world overall is digitalizing this is one of the most rapidly growing
sector in the modern world.
In a world where change is constant, there is a perpetual need to learn new skills, acquire
knowledge and gain qualifications that are relevant in today's technologically driven
marketplace. In a thriving digital economy, the demand for skilled professionals with both
technical and analytical skills is stimulating job creation and creating competition amongst
employers looking to secure valuable talent.
In recent years, colleges and universities have come under increasing pressure as costs have
risen. This increase is due to investments in expensive technology, teachers’ salaries and
administrative costs. While governments have confirmed that they can no longer afford to
subsidize their educational efforts as generously as they used to.
The institute specializing in business related academics trying to transition towards IT and
computer science and trying to expand its horizon will raise some questions as to whether the
quality and efficiency of the new field of academics being offered is adequate or not.

SCOPE OF THE STUDY:

Many online universities and institutes have been offering online courses for graduation,
masters, and undergrad programs. This is quite beneficial as the student can learn the subject
from the comfort from his home. Further they can take up their time and need not to quit jobs.
This way of learning helps them achieve higher educational qualification and in turn get
promotional jobs.
Further if a person needs some to join course and is lacking some expertise, he can take up
college prep courses online to get ready for regular course.
OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY:
 To study the impact and the interest of students taking online classes/courses.
 To study the impact of methods of e-learning.
 To study the ease level of students using computers and information technology.

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM:

“To study the attitude of various online academic courses offered for students in the era of
computer science and information technology.”

HYPOTHESIS:
Ho: There is no significant influence on students taking online academic courses.
H1: There is a significant influence on students taking online academic courses.

LITERATURE REVIEW:
The Internet has made online learning possible, and many educators and researchers are
interested in online learning courses to enhance and improve the student learning outcomes
while battling the shortage in resources, facilities and equipment particularly in higher
education institution. Online learning has become popular because of its potential for providing
more flexible access to content and instruction at any time, from any place. It is imperative that
the researchers consider, and examine the efficacy of online learning in educating students. For
this study, the researchers reviewed literature through meta-analysis as the method of research
concerning the use of ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation and Evaluation)
framework for designing and developing instructional materials that can provide wider access
to quality higher education. It represents a descriptive guideline for building effective training
and performance support tools in five phases:
o Analysis
o Design
o Development
o Implementation
o Evaluation

In higher education, e-learning is gaining more and more impact, especially in the format of
blended learning, and this new kind of traditional teaching and learning can be practiced in
many ways. Several studies have compared face to face teaching to online learning and/or
blended learning in order to try to define which of the formats provides, e.g., the highest
learning outcome, creates the most satisfied students or has the highest rate of course
completion. However, the studies often show that teaching and learning are influenced by
more than teaching format alone.

METHODOLOGY:
The nature of the study is non-experimental research designed with a special reference to
descriptive research study. This research design is taken due to the exploration of various
attitudes, behaviors and thoughts of respondent of the study. This research study follows
standard ethical protocol.

SAMPLE OF THE STUDY

All the students of the institute will be consider as the population of the study.

INSTRUMENT FOR DATA COLLECTION:

A questionnaire with multiple points with various concerns taking a whole overview of the
online academic system will be designed keeping the format of research objectives. Surveys can
also be conducted.

SECTION B

Test value is 4. It shows that all the variables conducted by the test is
considerable because 4 shows that we all are agreed on the test that is conducted
and mean value is almost 4. Whereas collective mean in 4.07 that shows that this
test is agreed.
 This test conducted 185 responses that is shown by N of every variable.
 There are 4 independent variables: Multi-channel retailing, Perceived
diagnostic, self-image congruence and behavioral consistency whereas only
1 dependent variable that is Brand image.
 We took 185 respondents and their mean is almost 4 that shows almost
everyone is agreed. We took test value=4 that means our test is been
agreed and confidence interval=95% that means our test has run
successfully and correctly. Mean difference is very less i.e. 0.6 that means
our mean is reliable according to the data.

Ho: There will be insignificant impact of Multichannel retailing, perceived

diagnostic, self-image congruence and behavioral consistency on Brand image.
 HI: There will be a significant impact of Multichannel retailing, perceived
diagnostic, self-image congruence and behavioral consistency on Brand image.

MULTICHANNEL RETAILING:
Reject Ho if mean > 4
Impact:
Mean of multichannel retailing is more than 4 so the null hypothesis will be
rejected and there will be no insignificant impact of this variable on Brand image.
Hypothesis will be rejected and there would be no significant impact of this
variable on brand image.

PERCEIVED DIAGNOSTIC:
Reject Ho
Impact: Mean of the variable > 4 so the null hypothesis will be rejected and there
will be no insignificant impact of this variable on Brand image.
SELF-IMAGE CONGRUENCE:
Accept Ho if mean < 4
Impact: Mean of the variable < 4 so the null hypothesis will be accepted.
BEHAVIORAL CONSISTENCY:
Reject Ho
Impact: Mean of the variable > 4 so the null hypothesis will be, rejected and
there will be no insignificant impact of this variable on Brand image.
F) RELIABILITY TEST STATISTICS:
Threshold value is greater than 0.6 so that means any value >O.6, the data is
reliable. If Cronbach's Alpha's value is <0.6, then the data is not considered
reliable. The higher the value, the greater the reliability of the variable.
 Multi-Channel Retailing has a value of 0.44, it is not reliable.
 Perceived Diagnostic has a value of 0.782, it is reliable.
 Self-image congruence has a value of 0.816, it is reliable. Behavioral
consistency has a value of 0.599, it is not reliable.
 Brand Image has a value of 0.101, it is not reliable.
