dc.description.abstractThe objective of the study was to analyse and determine the research and statistical methods used in the postgraduate theses and dissertations of Education and Library and Information Science Departments of Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria from 1987 to 1997. Titles of completed theses and dissertation approved and submitted to the Departments of Education and Library and Information Science and were available to the researcher during the period of study constituted the population of the study. 279 titles of these theses and dissertations were compared and analyzed. The method adopted for this study was the documentary method. The theses and dissertations of the two Departments were physically examined using evaluative and content analysis method. The result showed that in terms of statistical methods used, Post graduate students of Education department used more of inferential statistics in the analysis of their theses and dissertations than those of Library and Information Science Department which are mostly descriptive in nature. However, there are some theses and dissertations from both Departments that did not use any form of statistics. In terms of the research method adopted by the postgraduate students from the two Departments under study, it was discovered that the students from both Departments used almost the same research methods. There are some students from some sections of Education Department that used some methods such as quasi experimental, expos facto in their theses and dissertations. On the whole, there were similarities in both the research and statistical methods used in the analyses of the theses and dissertations of the postgraduate students of Library and Information Science and Education departments. This could be due to the fact that both category of students are taught by the same statistics and research method lecturers. In the light of these findings, the researcher recommends that postgraduate students of Education and Library and Information Science should be firmly grounded in their knowledge of both research and statistical methods.en_US
