For the facilitator:

Welcome to the Practical Research 2 Modular Distance Learning

(MDL) Module Designing Research Useful in Daily Life!

This module was collaboratively designed, developed, and reviewed by

educators both from public and private institutions to assist you, the teacher,
or facilitator in helping the learners meet the standards set by the K to 12
Curriculum while overcoming their personal, social, and economic
constraints in schooling.

This learning resource hopes to engage the learners into guided and

also aims to help learners acquire the needed 21st-century skills while taking
into consideration their needs and circumstances.

In addition to the material in the main text, you will also see this box
in the body of the module:

Notes to the Teacher

In view to the new normal world we are facing, this
module was created to answer that education should
not stop for our learners.

This Practical Research 2 Module for Quarter 1

is all about Designing Research Useful in Daily Life.
With this we are trying to allow our learners to work
independently in discovering through simple and
enjoyable activities/ experimentation that are aligned
to the competencies that they should learn.

As a facilitator, you are expected to orient the learners on how to use

this module. You also need to keep track of the learners' progress while
allowing them to manage their learning. Furthermore, you are expected to
encourage and assist the learners as they do the tasks included in the module.

What is It

• The government have some important reasons for why implementing the
4Ps, DRRM, GCQ, and Total Lockdown. These reasons came out because
of research.
• In designing research, the researcher needs to consider the usefulness
of research projects to be conducted to the community where he or she
belongs, to the bigger community, the Philippines, Asia, and the world.
• In deciding on a research topic, the researcher should see to it
that the research project would be worth the planning, execution
