“The Nature of Inquiry and Research”
THE NATURE AND IMPORTANCE OF RESEARCH
What is Research?
The word research was come from two word, the prefix RE, which means “again”, and
the word SEARCH, meaning “to look for something. In other words, research suggests an
action that denotes “to look for something again”. Research also is a systematic process of
finding solving or finding answers to an inquiry.
Aims of Research (VA3)
1. Verification of Existing knowledge
Research is aimed at verifying or proving the veracity of the existing theories or

knowledge. This verification may lead to the development of the new ideas,
strengthening a current knowledge, or debunking a theory.
2. Acquisition of the New Knowledge
Aside from strengthening the veracity of a theory, research also brings forth new
ideas regarding a theory or even crate a totally new theory.
3. Application of the New Knowledge
Once the new ideas or innovation are proven true, they are then utilized and
translated to something useful to mankind. It is only through utilizing the results of
research that one can truly fulfill the ultimate purpose of research, that is, to
alleviate people’s quality of life.
4. Advancement of the Researcher’s Expertise
As researchers conduct more investigations, they do not only verify theories or

discover new ideas and technologies, but also gain relevant experiences that
enhance and deepen their knowledge and skills in the area of their investigations.
Functions of Research (EDE)
1. Exploration
When its purpose is to provide foundation for future studies, the research is called
exploratory investigation. This kind of research seeks to find more information about

a topic and a broader perspective or an additional knowledge to what is currently

known.
2. Description
When the primary purpose of research is to give additional information on newly

discovered idea are results of exploration, it is called descriptive research. Descriptive
research fills in the details and gaps regarding a particular idea, which the intent to
expand understanding.
3. Explanation
Once newly discovered ideas are described thoroughly, it is imperative for

researchers to understand why these came into existence. Connection between
these ideas needs to be established to advance the body of knowledge. This task of
looking at how things are connected and how they interact is the primary purpose of
explanatory research. This type of research aims to explain relationships existing
between variables, quantitatively or qualitatively.
Characteristics of Research (R2LC2AO)
1. Realistic
Research is realistic undertaking that must result to empirical data. Empirical data
are those derived from actual observation of a phenomenon, interviews of the
people who have witnessed an incident, analysis of firs-hand document sources,
excavation of artifacts, and other actions that d valid evidence of one’s investigation.
2. Replicable
Research procedures must be written clearly and chronologically for it to be

replicable that other researchers can redo or repeat the investigation with the intent
of verifying the generated information. It is only though this process of replication
that a particular research can claim verifiability of valid and reliable or consistent
results. Activities that cannot be repeated do not possess this characteristic and,
therefore, cannot be technically classified as research.
3. Logical
Research follows valid, definite principles, frameworks, and procedures. These are
proper, logical, and ethical approaches to search the answers to a specific question.
Failure to follow these procedures correctly may yield invalid and unreliable
outcome.
4. Cyclical

IMPLEMENTATION:
School Director
R11-QUAL
Life Units: hrs
Research is cyclical. It starts with a problem and ends with another problem. As
soon as a research question is answered, other questions may arise. These new
questions may refine the answers generated, fine-tune the research methods’, or
modify the answered research questions. This process continues until such time that
a purified body of knowledge is attained.
5. Critical
The research is said to be critical when the researcher is careful and precise in
processing ideas and judgment. In this way, a high level of confidence can be
established on the execution of research procedures to gather empirical data,
analysis and interpretation of results, and formulation of valid conclusions and
appropriate recommendations. this is especially true in qualitative research where
statistics yield little help, quantitative research. The credibility of the researcher
plays an important and critical role in qualitative research.
6. Analytical
After employing strictly and correctly the predetermined procedure and gathering
empirical data, the latter must be analyzed to elicit the desired meaning from the
obtained information. It is only through this process that research results become
relevant not only to the people who participated in the investigation – the
respondents – but also to those who similar characteristics. Proper analysis of the
data should be done before making final conclusions.
7. Objective
Objectivity is defined as the lack of bias or prejudice. Analysis and interpretation of

data, and drawing out implication from research data must be free from bias and
alteration to favor a certain hypothesis, a personality, or an organization. Inclination
toward bias results to the total failure of research activity.
