Research and Its Importance in Daily Life

Research is the scientific investigation of phenomena which includes the collection, presentation,
analysis, and interpretation of facts that lines an individual‘s speculation with reality. It is a process of inquiring.
It provides solutions to problems that are based on knowledge, not on mere beliefs, guesses or theories. In
research, a systematic and well-planned procedure is required to meet the need in order that information is
acquired and evaluate its accuracy and effectiveness.
Moreover, John W. Criswell defines research as “a process of steps used to collect and analyze
information to increase our understanding of a topic or issue”. It consists of three steps: Pose a question,
collect data to answer the question, and present an answer to the question (Creswell, 2008).It is the
continuous discovery and exploration of the unknown. It entails an investigation of new facts, leading to the
discovery of new ideas, new methods, or improvements.
The importance of research in daily life are the following:
1. Research directs us to inquire about the right information by conducting further investigation of the
actual condition. It leads us to be cautious in giving results by proving lies and supporting the truth.
2. Research empowers us with knowledge to discover new things and issues in life. It helps us solve
problems in health, crimes, business, technology, and environment.
3. Research facilitates learning as an opportunity to share valuable information to others as a way of
recognizing various concerns for public awareness.
4. Research improves the standard of living.
