LESSON 1: DEFINITION OF RESEARCH
RESEARCH
Organized inquiry
Considered as a quarter stone of science, because it follows a scientific method
RE SEARCH
(AGAIN) CONTINOUS AND ACTIVE PROCESS
(FIND) IF THERE IS A PROBLEM, FIND A SOLUTION
INTRODUCTION:
RESEARCH
Scientific investigation of phenomena which includes COLLECTION, PRESENTATION,
ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION OF FACTS that links individual’s speculation into
reality
PURPOSE OF RESEARCH:
• Improves quality of life
• Improves instruction
• Discover new facts about known phenomena
• Improve existing techniques and develops new instruments
• Reduces the burden of work
• Satisfies the researcher’s curiosity
OTHERS:
• Uses disciplined method to answer questions or solve problems
• Diligent investigation to validate and refine existing knowledge
• Continues to discover and to explore unknown phenomena
➢ INTELLECTUAL CURIOUSITY
• Undertakes deep thinking
• Raises questions to answers, makes use of experiences
➢ PRUDENCE
• Conducts survey at the right time and at the right place wisely, effectively,
and economically
➢ HEALTHY CRITICISM
• Always doubtful as the truthfulness of the results
• Always doubts the authenticity or validity of his findings even if the data are
gathered honestly
➢ INTELLECTUAL HONESTY
• “HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY”
• Honest to collect/ gather data/facts
• The success or failure of his research lies on his hands
➢ INTELLECTUAL CREATIVITY
• Productive and resourceful investigator
• Always creative new researchers
• Innovative
BASIC RESEARCH
• “FUNDAMENTAL RESEARCH”
• “PURE RESEARCH”
• Seeks to discover basic and principles
• Intended to add to the body of scientific knowledge
To answer the questions;
• How did the universe begin?
• How do slime molds produce?
• What is the specific genetic code of the fruit fly?
APPLIED RESEARCH
• Seeks new applications of scientific knowledge to the solution of a problem
(new system/procedure, new device or new method)
• Finding a solution to an immediate problem
DEVELOPMENT RESEARCH
• “DECISION-ORIENTED RESEARCH”
• Application of the steps of scientific method to improve existing practices
DESCRIPTIVE RESEARCH
• Includes fact-finding inquires of different kinds
• Studies the relationship of the variables
• Researcher has no control over variables
experimental RESEARCH
• Studies the ‘effects’ of the variables on each other
QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH
• Which ‘INFERENTIAL’ statistics are utilized to determine the results of the study
QUALITATIVE RESEARCH
• ‘DESCRIPTIVE DATA’ are gathered rather than quantitative data
• Character
• Personality
• Word association or sentence completion test
CLASSIFICATION OF RESEARCH
LIBRARY RESEARCH
• Done in the library
• Answers to questions and problems are found
• Best for historical research
FEILD RESEARCH
• Natural setting
• No changes in the environment are made
• Applied to descriptive research
LABORATORY RESEARCH
• Conducted in an artificial or controlled conditions bye isolating the in an area
Purpose are:
• To test the hypothesis
• To control the variables
• To discover the relation
• Applicable in case study and experimental research
EXAMPLE:
(Determining the problem) Jerry came from school one day. He took a rest for a second in their living room.
There were two plants. The first one was placed near the door and the second one was near the window. He
noticed that the plant placed near the window was taller than the plant placed beside the door. (Forming
hypothesis) He suddenly remembered that every morning, their living room is quite illuminated because of
the sun rays passing through the window. He arrived at the idea that the sunlight had significant effect on the
growth of the plant. (Doing library research) For the next days, he had become busy doing research about the
role of sunlight in the growth of plants. (Designing the study) He decided to conduct a simple experiment. He
bought 3 plants for the same height. (Developing instruments for collecting data) He measured their height
before he placed each in their designated area. He put the first plant in the garden where it could receive
ample amount of sunlight, the second one was under the tree where it could receive minimum amount of
sunlight and the last one was inside the room where it could receive no amount of sunlight. (Collecting the
data) He also made a table where he could jot down the changes he would observe. Every day, he watered
his specimens with the same amount of water and recorded what he had observed every five days. After
thirty days, he stopped his experiment and studied the data he had gathered. (Analyzing the data) The result
was the plant placed under the tree was taller than the plant inside the room, but the tree placed in the
garden was the tallest. (Determining the implications and conclusions from findings) He then concluded that
the sunlight affected the growth of the plants and his hypothesis was accepted. (Making recommendations
for further research) He planned to conduct another study on the effects of sunlight in different species of
plants.
