 It is a process of gathering data or information and harnessing curiosity of the researcher.

Research is a study to validate a factual claim about a specific problem, issue, or concern. A
researcher should conduct a literature review to gain an understanding of the
existing research and debates relevant to a particular topic or area of study, and to present that
knowledge and the discovery in the form of a written report. 
Lesson 1

ACTIVITY 1: QUESTION AND ANSWER

1. Research is a study where the researcher will investigate or conduct a survey and gathering
data or information to harness the curiosity of the researcher for their research topic.
2. “A seeking for truth, information or knowledge.” The inquiry and nature of a research gives
bits of knowledge into the issue or problem and creates thoughts and theories that includes
a handle of investigating the characteristic that leads to inquiring questions, gaining
knowledge and discoveries, and making disclosures regarding to the research topic.
3. Research is a study of materials and sources in order to establish facts and reach new
conclusions. It is systematic investigation or process of inquiring.
4. Research is important to our daily life activities for the reason that it is an instrument for
gathering information and building knowledge. We use this procedure to inform action,
gather evidence for theories, and contribute to developing knowledge in a field of study.
5. We need to conduct research is to gather accurate information and gain knowledge
regarding the topic or the issue.

What is It?

1. We did an inquiry or research about the bad effects of drugs on our health and on our social life.
We conducted a survey among the teenagers and some adults and asks several questions.
2. As a learner in high school, research is important in our daily life in view of the fact that we can
gather information for a factual claim and also builds and gain knowledge.

Whats More
1. KNOWLEDGE. Conducting research develops your skills to think critically and relate it in every
decision you do.
2. COMBINING THE IDEA OF “INQUIRY” “INVESTIGATION” AND “ IMMERSION". This is where the
concept of “Research” comes in.
3. INVESTIGATION. A systematic examination of a certain event or phenomenon.
 4. IMMERSION AND INQUIRY. It is when the researcher immerses theirselves in the data gathering
activities and the data he has gathered is carefully read or examined by them in detail.

WHAT I HAVE LEARNED

1. When we are inquiring,  It involves questioning and interrogation. It is aimed not only at
obtaining information and data about the issue, but it is also meant to settle any questions that
people may have on the subject. Research is a systematic
investigation into and study of materials and sources in order to establish facts and reach new
conclusions.
2. Research opens up new door of innovation,new ideas and a stride forward to invent new things.
Students come to build their self-confidence , self-efficacy, problem-solving aptitudes, inquire
about data , improves judgment skills  and communication of that information and their interest
in and ability to deal with issues around them.

Activity 1

1. Research is practical and realistic. It is Practical because we attain new forms of information
when we practice it and it is directed towards problems . It is also Realistic because it is based
on the assumption of a scientific approach, which demands that research should be start with
an hypothesis, that should be falsifiable, followed by a scientific study in which the hypothesis is
tested.
2. Selecting a research problem is important and it is the first step of research process. The main
purpose of selecting a research problem is to identify and explain the problem.
3. “Research starts with a problem and ends with a problem.” It implies that, in order to begin a
research, you must have a certain issue or problem to study about, but there are confinements
in your study and as you discover or find something unused around your topic, there will always
be a new problem or issue and questions that will arise.
4. The purpose of research ethics in doing research are; they advance the points of research, such
as expanding knowledge, they support the values required for collaborative work, such as
common regard and fairness.

5. A research can be replicated or imitated since it is made by different researchers. It can also be

broadcasted and written for everyones added information. A finding, in any case, is completely
original and unique that it cannot be replicated.

DISCUSSION OF ACTIVITY 1

1. THE SEVEN STEPS OF THE RESEARCH PROCESS

STEP 1. DEFINE AND DEVELOP YOUR TOPIC (RESEARCH PROBLEM)
● FACTORS TO CONSIDER IN SELECTING A RESEARCH PROBLEM
(1) RESEARCHER’S AREA OF INTEREST
(2) AVAILABILITY OF FUNDS
(3) INVESTIGATOR’S ABILITY AND TRAINING
STEP 2. FIND BACKGROUND INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR CHOSEN TOPIC (REVIEW OF RELATED
LITERATURE)
 STEP 3. PLAN YOUR RESEARCH DESIGN INCLUDING YOUR SAMPLE (METHODOLOGY).
STEP 4. GATHER NECESSARY DATA USING OPEN ENDED QUESTIONS (FOR QUALITATIVE
RESEARCH) AND CLOSED-ENDED QUESTIONNAIRE OR PAPER PENCIL TEST QUESTIONNAIRE (FOR
QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH) (DATA GATHERING ACTIVITIES).
STEP 5. PROCESS AND ANALYSE DATA USING THEMATIC ANALYSIS (FOR QUALITATIVE
RESEARCHER).
STEP 6. FORMULATE NEW INSIGHTS GAINED (FOR QUALITATIVE RESEARCH) CONCLUSIONS (FOR
QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH) AND RECOMMENDATIONS.
STEP 7. DEFINE NEW PROBLEM.

2. ●INFORMED CONSENT.
● HONESTY.
● OBJECTIVITY.
● INTEGRITY.
● CAREFULNESS.
● OPENNESS.
● RESPECT FOR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY.
● CONFIDENTIALITY.
● RESPONSIBLE PUBLICATION.
● RESPECT FOR COLLEAGUES.

● SOCIAL REPONSIBILITY.

● NON-DISCRIMINATION.

● COMPETENCE.

● LEGALITY.

● ANIMAL CARE.

● HUMAN SUBJECTS PROTECTION.

WHAT’S MORE?

READ AND ANALYSE

 1. The application of ethical rules and proficient codes of conduct to the collection,
investigation, announcing, and distribution of data approximately investigate subjects, im
specific dynamic acknowledgement of subjects’ right to protection, privacy, and educated
consent.Ethics in qualitative research necessitate sustained attention of two interconnected
worlds: the world of the researcher and the world of the participant. It reflects the need for
researchers to develop an ethical research vocabulary at the inception of their research life
through multiple modes. The modes may include dialogue in the spoken and written and
visual to affect their aims to adhere to the principles of respect, beneficence,
nonmaleficence, and justice in a way that is mutually beneficial to the participant and the
researcher.
2. For now, it’s unethical to use human models as studies for SARS-CoV-2 infection and
transmission study.  It is unethical to move forward with such trials at the current time

WHAT I CAN DO
1. Resaerch should be empirical, logical and cyclical.
2. It is important to follow the ethical standards in conducting a research to promote the aims or
advance the points of research, such as knowledge, truth, and avoidance of error, and in order
to protect the dignity, rights and welfare of research participants.

1.Natural setting
Uses open-ended questions
Inductive in data gathering activities
2. Results are based on larger sample sizes that
are representative of the population.
Uses more flexible processes
6. Replicability is the extent to which such re-
study is made feasible by the provision of
sufficient information about research procedures
in the first study.
No conclusions formulated
9. Uses purposive sampling
Data analysis is subjective
Dependent on statistical tools
2. Uses descriptive research questions.
3. Deductive approaches are commonly
associated
Results oriented and highly structured

Has high output replicability
8.
Uses large sample size
10. Data analysis is objective

What I Can Do

1. Quantitative research can help you see the big picture, uses large ample size and highly
structured. Qualitative research are exploratory, subjective and uses open-ended questions.

Additional Activities

1. QUALITATIVE. It has natural setting and the case is subjective.

2. QUALITATIVE. The research is subjective and the researcher can use open-ended questions on
the participants of the research.
3. QUANTITATIVE. The research is objective, number-based and dependent on statistical tools.
4. QUALITATIVE. It has a natural setting and the case is subjective.
