WHAT IS
RESEARCH?
Research is defined as the scientific
investigation of phenomena which includes
the collection, presentation, analysis, and
interpretation of facts that lines an individual ‘s
speculation with reality.
WHAT IS
RESEARCH?
Solutions to problems must be based on
knowledge, not on mere beliefs, guesses, or
theories.

In research, a systematic and well-planned

procedure is required to meet the need so that
information is acquired and evaluate its
accuracy and effectiveness.
WHAT IS
RESEARCH?

It is a process of inquiring.
 CHARACTERISTIC OF RESEARCH

1
ACCURACY.
It must give a precise, exact or accurate data, every entry should
honestly, and appropriately documented or acknowledged.

2
OBJECTIVENESS.
It must deal with facts, should objectively look at the basis on which the work is founded. Not just
a mere opinion arising from assumptions, generalizations, predictions, or conclusions. The results
must be validated.

3
TIMELINESS.
It must work on a topic that is fresh, new and interesting to the present society. Refers to the
appropriateness of a research to be updated

4
CLARITY.
It must succeed in expressing its central point, by using simple, direct, concise and correct language.
 CHARACTERISTIC OF RESEARCH

5
RELEVANCE.
Its topic must be useful in improving our society or in solving a
particular problem affecting the lives of people in the community.

6
SYSTEMATIC
It must take a place in an organized or orderly manner. Research must follow a systematic process
to assess the quality of the studies they have found.
 TO EXPLORE
1 Exploratory research is best utilized in pioneering studies that focus

PURPOSE OF on topics that have not been investigated before or that use new
techniques in collecting and analyzing data

RESEARCH TO DESCRIBE
2 The researcher dives into the field of study and simply describes what
he or she has found out about it.

TO EXPLAIN

3 Another reason why people conduct research is to explain things,

events, and phenomena, discovering the answers to “why” it has
become so
 WHY IS
RESEARCH
IMPORTANT?
 IMPORTANCE OF
RESEARCH
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 and
findings by proving lies and
supporting the truth.
 IMPORTANCE OF
RESEARCH
2. Research makes a necessary
recommendation to improve the
government’s program to suit the
needs of those who are affected by
the program.
 IMPORTANCE OF
RESEARCH
3. Research empowers us with
knowledge and discovers new
things and issues
in life. It helps us solve problems in
health, crimes, business,
technology, and the environment.
 IMPORTANCE OF
RESEARCH
4. Research facilitates learning as
an opportunity to share valuable
information with others as a way of
recognizing various concerns for
public awareness.
 IMPORTANCE OF
RESEARCH
5. Research develops our attitudes
to not believe automatically
without further investigation of the
real situation.
 TYPES OF
RESEARCH
 DESCRIPTIVE RESEARCH
this type of research aims at defining or giving a
verbal portrayal or picture of a person, thing, event,
group, situation, etc. This is liable to repeated
research because its topic relates itself only to a
certain period or a limited number of years. Based on
the results of your descriptive studies about a subject,
you develop the inclination of conducting further
studies on such a topic.
CORRELATIONAL RESEARCH-
shows relationships or
connectedness of two factors,
circumstances, or agents called
variables that affect the research. It
is only concerned in indicating the
existence of a relationship, not the
causes and ways of the
development of such a relationship.
EXPLANATORY RESEARCH-
this type of research elaborates or explains not
just the reasons behind the relationship f two
factors, but also the ways by which such
relationship exists.
EXPLORATORY RESEARCH-
an exploratory research’s purpose is to find out
how reasonable or possible it is to conduct a
research study on a certain topic. Here, you
will discover ideas on topics that could trigger
your interest in conducting research studies.
ACTION RESEARCH-
this type of research studies an ongoing
practice of a school, organization, community,
or institution for the purpose of obtaining
results that will bring improvements in the
system.
ETHICS
 ETHICS
is generally considered to deal
with beliefs about what is right or
wrong, proper or improper, good or
bad. Next, it is also is known as a
norm for conduct that distinguish
between acceptable and
unacceptable behavior.
ETHICAL CONSIDERATIONS IN
CONDUCTING RESEARCH

1. Findings should be reported with complete honesty.

2. Intentional misinterpretation, misinformation, and
misleading claims must be avoided.
3. Appropriate credit should be given when using other
people’s work.
4. Plagiarism should be avoided by fully acknowledging all
content belonging to others.
PLAGIARISM
refers to the act of using
another person’s ideas,
words, processes, and
results without giving
due credit.
Rights of Research Participants

1.Voluntary participation
2.Informed consent
3.Risk of harm
4.Confidentiality
5.5Anonymity
The Research
Process
 Research process
a systematic manner in which the
researcher approaches his/her area of
study to produce knowledge that the
community will consider to be worthwhile
within the field (Rao, 2017). Understanding
such process is an important step towards
executing any study. The following table
shows the five phases of the research
process along with their definition
(Whittemore & Melkus, 2008).
