CHAPTER 5
METHODOLOGY: THE HISTORY OF
ANGLO-INDIAN EDUCATION
AND THE SURVEY METHOD FOR THE
FIELD STUDY
1.Introduction
The purpose of this chapter is one. It outlines the plan
used for seeking fresh evidence and re-examining historical
evidence of the history of Anglo-Indian education from the
fifteenth to the twentieth century. It discusses the
methodological issues raised by the contemporary
investigation of Anglo-Indian education.
This chapter will argue that, in order to study the present
day disadvantage in the Anglo-Indian community in India,
two distinct but overlapping fields of enquiry needed to be
studied.
(1) It was vital to discover whether or not educational
disadvantage was rooted in the historical background
of this minority community.
(2) The social reality of the classrooms and the
educational experience of Anglo-Indian students in
their own schools needed to be investigated.
The structure of this chapter offers an analysis of the
various research methods evaluated by the researcher and
summarises the processes that led to adopting a particular
research method.
