The document discusses measurement in research. It defines measurement as assigning numbers or labels to represent concepts quantitatively or qualitatively. It explains that the first step is to identify the area of interest through a constitutional definition that specifies research boundaries and a central theme. An operational definition then precisely defines what attributes will be measured and how values will be assigned. Cross-cultural variations must also be considered when measuring concepts to account for differences in perceptions. Measurement scales include nominal, ordinal, interval, and ratio.

The process of a Assigning numbers or labels to different objects under study to represent them quantitatively or qualitatively is called measurement. Primary step to identify the area or concept that is of interest. A concept can be understood as a general
idea derived or inferred from specific
instances or occurrences. A construct is a general idea or an abstract
inferred or derived from specific instances.
CONSTITUTIONAL DEFINITION: ◦ Will specify the research boundaries and also will definite the central theme of the study. ◦ E.g. studying the educational system in India. ◦ Whether primary education ? or secondary education? or adult education program ? OPERATIONAL DEFINITION ◦ Defines precisely what attributes and feature of the concept are to be measured. ◦ Specifies the process of assigning a value to the concept. ◦ Acts as an interface between the theoretical concept and live environment. The variations in the perceptions and beliefs of the measurement variables of different people that are related to the study. E.g. The survey about beef consumption
