THE RESEARCH PROCESS

Briefly define the following terms as applied to research.

1. PROCESS
-Process aims to develop your research by giving up the proper steps and processes or procedures to
help you obtain and to develop a good research statement. It also helps you to create or to know the
proper way on conducting research (mostly scientific type or research) by following the step by step
processes.

2. PROBLEM
-This is the purpose or the main reason of the study. This is where your study leads to because the
purpose of it is to answer your question/problem. This is where your questions are conducted or this is
where you got your idea on formulating your questions. It’s the main topic of your research that you
need to formulate or conduct.

3. QUESTIONS
- Questions are produced by the problem. Once you got or you research a specific topic/problem, that’s
when you got to make questions. As mentioned on the earlier lessons, once you’ve created a one
problem, it goes like a cycle and creates more problems for you to have or to obtain knowledge and to
answer your topic/research.

4. FEASIBILITY
- Can be studied without limitations. Once you create a research, it should be limitless regarding on
time, energy, or money. You don’t have to make your research hard by picking topic that needs or
requires time, energy, and money. You’re just going to stress yourself on making that kind of
observation. Pick those who doesn’t need or require too much effort. As long as you have the right
knowledge and follow the procedures right, that’s enough.

5. CLARITY
-Means that as your given topic/problem they would agree on the keywords you are using to help
identify your experimentation/research. Your answers should have keywords for them to identify the
purpose of your topic. It is also connected based on the problems you made to add up your conclusions
and the processes you use to construct properly your research.

6. SIGNIFICANCE
-Significance states that your problem/topic has a point and it is worth conducting because it will add up
your knowledge and learn important things related to the topic you will create. Your topic should help
you gain more knowledge and is important as to people should know it. Avoid making or conducting a
topic for entertainment purposes only.

7. ETHICAL
- Ethical does not involve any harm to all living things and the environment. Your topic should just focus
on learning new things and helps add your knowledge without the thought of touching or involving
living things that may result on harming them for the sake of your experimentation.
8. FORMULATION
- There are many things to consider on formulating the hypothesis. Formulation states that you need to
formulate properly your hypothesis by considering the factors that are needed. That is the reason why
you need to pick a great topic or problem to discuss in your hypothesis so that you don’t struggle on
making or conducting the formulation to know the answer of your problem properly and accurately.

9. EMPIRICAL
- This stage is one of the most important one as it fixes or collect your data and gather all the
information you have collected. Let’s say that this is the middle stage that is one of the most considered
factor or topic to be used when creating a hypothesis. It is a big help to you when you create your final
conclusion or final answer to your hypothesis.

10. METHOD
- This is the important one; the following of methods. Methods help you understand your hypothesis
well by following it and it makes it easier to answer in fact you know all of the methods because it
guided you on making your experiment. It doesn’t only apply on the conduction of the problems but it
also applies on creating a neat conclusions and presentations of your hypothesis/work.
