Hi there my dear student! Today, you and your classmates will begin a new week of distance learning. We are all physically away from each
other do not think that you are alone in this learning journey. There are other students learning with you too. And also I will closely guide and assist
you in your lessons. Please be guided of the following:
• This study guide will help you with the flow of the activity and the lesson.
• Answer the activities on a separate sheet of paper. (Please take care and do not write anything on your module
and other activity sheets.)
• If you see this icon you are free to reach me if you need my assistance. You can find my contact no. on your class
schedule. (You can also reach me out through social media platforms.)
• Expect to receive a phone call or a text message from me for the follow up.
• Compile all your answer sheets at the end of the week and wait for the announcement when to submit them.
TIME ALLOTMENT: 4 HOURS/WEEK
What do you expect to learn in this topic?
At the end of the week you should be able to:
1. Differentiate the goals and purposes of research.
2. Classify research based on the objective of the study and the condition under which the
study is done.
3. Apply the guidelines/ criteria in the selection of research topic/ problem.
4. Write a research title that describes what a study is all about.

TYPES OF RESEARCH… Continuation
However, if the research is done to find an application of the knowledge whether new
or old, it is classified as applied research.
Applied research try to solve problems or help practitioners accomplish tasks. It is
frequently a descriptive research and its main strength is its immediate practical use.
Applied research is designed to answer specific questions aimed at solving practical
problems. New knowledge acquired from applied research has specific commercial
objectives in the form of products, procedures or services.
Sometimes classifying a research becomes difficult when it does not actually deal
with the application but only indicates how the generated information could lead to an
initial application.
Application of basic knowledge is popularly called technology. It is intended to
improve our quality of life although it may also have some harmful effects. For example,
trinitrotoluene (TNT) was produced initially to nitrate cellulose to improve fabric quality.
However, it is now used as an explosive.
Let’s Practice!
Things to Ponder!

Learning Task 3B: What do you think?
It is always useful to refer to some criteria when one has to decide on what research to pursue. A checklist of guidelines is given in
Table 7.1 to assist you in selecting a topic for research.
Procedure: Copy and accomplish the table below. Put a check (/) across the criteria to which your response is yes and a cross (X)
opposite the criteria to which your response is no.
Note: One table per topic that you have chosen from the list.

You have reached the end of your learning journey for the week. Now, ask yourself.
“Do you need to review and go back to some tasks and concepts that you miss out?
or
Are you ready to move to the next learning journey?”
