Panimula
This is just the scientific way of what you are doing in your everyday life -
exploring things, asking questions, observations and other activities that you
experience. This is just the start of the conventional way of providing answers
to your questions and observations - and that is through research which you
will explore in this lesson. Specifically, you are expected to share research
experiences and knowledge, explain the importance of research and
describe the characteristics, processes and ethics of research.

Research is an investigation or experimentation aimed at the discovery

and interpretation of facts, revision of accepted theories or laws in the light
of new facts, or practical application of such new or revised theories or laws
(Merriam-Webster Dictionary, Retrieved from https://www.merriam-
webster.com/dictionary/research).

According to Zarah (2020), the main purpose of research is to inform

action, to prove a theory and contribute to developing knowledge in a field
or study. This article will highlight the significance of research with the following
points:

1. a tool for building knowledge and for facilitating learning;

2. means to understand various issues and increase public awareness;
3. an aid to business success;
4. a way to prove lies and to support truths;
5. means to find, gauge and seize opportunities;
6. a seed to love reading, writing, analyzing and sharing valuable
information; and
7. nourishment and exercise for the mind.

Moreover, since the purpose of research is to inform action. Thus, a

research study should seek to contextualize its findings within the larger body
of research. Research must always be of high quality in order to produce
knowledge that is applicable outside of the research setting. Furthermore, the
results of the study may have implications for policy and future project
implementation.

Research involves a systematic process that focuses on being objective

and gathering a multitude of information for analysis so that the researcher
can come to a conclusion. The scientific research process is a multiple-step
process where the steps are interlinked with the other steps in the process. If
changes are made in one step of the process, the researcher must review all
the other steps to ensure that the changes are reflected throughout the
process.

The research process often begins with a very broad idea for
a topic you’d like to know more about. You do some preliminary research to
identify a problem. After refining your research questions, you can lay out the
foundations of your research design, leading to a proposal that outlines your
ideas and plans. Although different models of the research process exist,
each containing different numbers of stages, most include the same general
elements.

Research is a process of collecting, analyzing and interpreting

information to answer questions. But to qualify as research, the process must
have certain characteristics: it must, as far as possible, be systematic,
controlled, rigorous, valid and verifiable, empirical and critical.

Characteristics of Research

1. Empirical. Research is based on direct experience or observation by the

researcher.
2. Logical. Research is based on valid procedures and principles.
3. Cyclical. Research is a cyclical process because it starts with a problem
and ends with a problem.
4. Analytical. Research utilizes proven analytical procedures in gathering
the data, whether historical, descriptive, and experimental and case
study.
5. Critical. Research exhibits careful and precise judgment.
6. Methodical. Research is conducted in a methodical manner without
bias using systematic method and procedures.
7. Replicability. The research design and procedures are replicated or
repeated to enable the researcher to arrive at valid and conclusive
results.
