 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

Being inspired to be an agent of providing quality education,

the developer thought of a way on how to help the learners
achieve quality learning. Moved by the fact that Research subjects
lack Learning Resource Materials, the developer conceived of
making a Learning Activity Sheet that would aid the learners I
understating their research lesson.
The developer is so much grateful to the Division LMS
supervised by Mr. Ronald T. Marquez, Education Program Supervisor
for his assistance. To the School LMS team led by Mrs. Michelle P.
Flores, for her patience in checking activity sheets.
To Mr. Jose V. Benardez, Abra High School Principal and Mrs.
Percinia B. TAluban for always encouraging the teachers to think of
ways on how to make learning happen to every learner.
To her family, colleagues and friends for the support and love.

Research Proposal

The research proposal is a comprehensive written plan of how the project will be
done. It includes the topic, design, significance and methodology. Since, this is still a plan, it
means it isn’t executed or carried yet, future tense will be used. Remember that a well-written
research plan contributes to a better flow to conduct the SIP. It may lead the researcher to
organize the things that must be done in the course of the conduct of SIP. This proposal serves
a blueprint to help the researcher keep going in the entire duration of the conduct of SIP.

Furthermore, it describes what the learner will investigate, will discern its importance
and how you will do it. The format varies depending its field category.

RESEARCH PLAN

All projects must have a Research Plan/ Project Summary

a. The Research Plan is to be written prior to experimentation to give details on the
rationale, research question/s, methodology, and risk assessment of the proposed
research.
b. If changes are made during the research, such changes can be added to the
original research plan as an addendum, recognizing that some changes may
require returning to the IRB or SRC for appropriate review and approvals. If no
additional approvals are required, this addendum serves as a project summary to
explain research that was conducted.
c. If no changes are made from the original research plan, no project summary is
required.
Some studies, such as an engineering design or mathematics projects, will be less
detailed in the initial project plan and will change through the course of research. If
such changes occur, a project summary that explains what was done is required
and can be appended to the original research plan.
The Research Plan/Project Summary should include the following:
a. RATIONALE: Include a brief synopsis of the background that supports your
research problem and explain why this research is important and if applicable,
explain any societal impact of your research.
b. RESEARCH QUESTION/S, HYPOTHESIS/ES, ENGINEERING GOAL/S,
EXPECTED OUTCOMES: How is this based on the rationale described
above?
c. Describe the following in detail:
• Procedures: Detail all procedures and experimental design including
methods for data collection, and when applicable, the source of data
used. Describe only your project. Do not include work dne by mentor or
others.
• Risky and Safety: Identify any potential risk and safety precaution
needed.
 • Data Analysis: Describe the procedures you will use to analyze the
data/ results
d. BIBLIOGRAPHY: List major references (e.g. science journal articles, books,
internet sites) from your literature review. If you plan to use vertebrate animals,
one of these references must be an animal care reference.

Items 1-4 below are subject-specific guidelines for additional items to be included
in your research plan/project summary as applicable.
1. Human participants research:
a. Participants: Describe age, range, gender, racial/ethic composition of
participants. Identify vulnerable populations (minors, pregnant women,
prisoners, mentally disabled or economically disadvantaged).
b. Recruitment: Where will you find your participants? How will they be invited
to participate?
c. Methods: What will participants be asked to do? Will you use any surveys,
questionnaires or tests? If yes and not your own, how did you obtain? Did
it require permissions? If so, explain. What is the frequency and length of
time involved for each subject?
d. Risk Assessment? What are the risks or potential discomforts (physical,
psychological, time involved, social, legal, etc.) to participants? How will
you minimize risks? List any benefits o society or participants.
e. Protection of Privacy: Will identifiable information (e.g. names, telephone
numbers, birth dates, email addresses be collected? If not anonymous,
what procedures are in place for safeguarding confidentiality? Where will
data be stored? Who will have access to the data? What will you do with
the data after the study?
f. Informed Consent Process: Describe how you will inform participants about
the purpose of the study, what they will be asked to do, that their
participation is voluntary and they have the right to stop at any time.
2. Vertebrate animal research:
a. Discuss potential ALTERNATIVES to vertebrate animal use and present
justification for use of vertebrate.
b. Explain potential impact or contribution of this research.
c. Detail all procedures to be used, including methods used to minimize
potential discomfort, distress, pain and injury to the animals and detailed
chemical concentrations and drug dosages.
d. Detail animal numbers, species, strain, sex, age, source, etc., include
justification of the numbers planned.
e. Describe housing and oversight of daily care.
f. Discuss disposition of the animals at the end of the study.
3. Potentially hazardous biological agents research:
a. Give source of the organism and describe Biohazard Safety Level (BSL)
assessment process and BSL determination.
b. Detail safety precautions and discuss methods of disposal.
4. Hazardous chemicals, activities and devices:
• Describe Risk Assessment process, supervision, safety precautions
and methods of disposal.

Activity 2
Browse to Learn More

Directions: Before you start working on your Research Plan, have some readings
relative to your topic from the magazines, journals, published or unpublished Science
Investigatory Projects, books or scholarly articles from the internet. Enlist five major
sources with complete bibliographic data. Be sure to follow the Chicago Manual
of Style (CMOS). DO NOT COPY the idea but summarize what you will get from these
sources to save your time in substantiating your introduction part. Remember to keep
them for your next activity.
