An introductory text on research design, written in English by Dr Dushar Dayarathna and issued by Godage International Publishers, an established Colombo house publishing in Sinhala and English.
The title sets out the intention plainly: a primer aimed at readers meeting research methodology for the first time. That audience is usually undergraduate and taught postgraduate students facing a first proposal, dissertation or supervised project, along with professionals who have to design a small study without formal training behind them. Books of this kind are often written to the structure of local degree programmes, and a Sri Lankan student working to a departmental handbook may find the framing closer to their own requirements than an imported textbook offers.
It is in English throughout, so no reading knowledge of Sinhala is needed. The format is slim rather than encyclopaedic, which suits a text meant to be worked through at the start of a course rather than consulted as a reference across years.
Worth considering if you are building a shelf of Sri Lankan academic and study titles, teaching introductory methods, or looking for a compact starting point before moving on to heavier methodological reading.
