The Role of Research

•It is a formal process of problem solving.
•It is a set of procedures and stages.
•It originates with a question or a problem.
•It is an iterative process.

Significance of Research

1. To gather necessary information

2. To improve standard of living
3. To have a safer life
4. To know the truth
5. To explore our history buff
6. To understand arts

Research is ALL about finding answers to a QUESTION/INQUIRY. This question/inquiry may

be prompted by a wide variety of contents, your own personal experiences and interests, or a
theory that you are very much interested in and a lot more.

In any research undertaking, the systematic process always starts with the
question: “What do I write about?” Such step will therefore need fine tuning, thus,
one will decide by identifying a research problem to write about.
Analyze the picture below and craft possible research problems based on it.

Selected guidelines in the formulation of research title
1. The title must contain the following elements:
a. the subject matter or research problem:
b. the setting or locale of the study:
c. the respondents or participants involved in the study:
d. the time or period when the study was conducted9If the too long because of these
elements , the timeframe or period may be omitted except in evaluation studies
2. The title must be broad enough to include all aspects of the study but should be
brief and concise as possible.
3.The use of terms as “Analysis of”, “A Study of”, “An Investigation of” and the like
should be avoided. All these are understood to have been done in a research.
4. If the title contains more than one line, it should be written in inverted pyramid.
5. When typed or encoded in the title page , all words in the title should be in capital letters.
6. If possible, the title should not be longer than 15 substantive words.
7. Avoid a long detailed title that gives too much information.
8. To shorten the title, delete the terms “assessment” or “evaluation” if these are
already emphasized in the text.

Karl Marx, one leading proponent of revolutionary change has identified

the following as Possible and Good Sources of Research
Topics/Questions:
 Intellectual Puzzles and Contradictions
 Existing Forms of Literature
 Replication
 Structures and Functions
 Opposition
 A Social Problem
 Gaps between official versions of reality and actual facts on the ground
 The counter-intuitive
 New methods and theories
 New Social and technical developments and social trends
 Personal experiences
 Sponsors and teachers

However, for these sources to qualify as viable for inquiry, they MUST
adhere to certain parameters and criteria of:
 Clarity (they must be sensible and intelligible);
 Researchability (continuing inquiries can be made);
 Connectivity (must have connections with existing/established
theories/studies);
 Originality (hold prospect of making a unique contribution); and
 Precision (must NEITHER be too broad or narrow)

Practice Exercises/Activity

What Can I Do

The Research Title or Inquiry forms a vital part of the research process.
Without it, the researcher would not be able to achieve the purposes he/she would
set out for to conduct a study. Inquiries may be based of various sources and they
must conform to certain parameters and criteria to be viable and worthy of any
research undertaking.
