What is RESEARCH?
Research is the systematic
application of the scientific
inquiry in order to find
solutions to problems and
contribute knowledge

Characteristics of Research
The unique characteristics of research
permit the researcher to have a clear
understanding of research and
differentiate it from problem-solving
and other investigating process to avoid
false thought.

Hence, Casela and Cuevas (2010)

enumerates the distinct characteristics
of research:

Characteristics of Research
1.Research begins with an unanswered problem or
question.
2. Research divides the major problems into sub-
problems.
3. Research is guided by specific problem or
question.
4. Research follows a logical procedure and data
collection.
5. Research requires interpretation of data.
6. Research is a cycle.

Quantitative vs Qualitative
Quantitative research is the process of collecting and
analyzing numerical data. It can be used to find patterns
and averages, make predictions, test causal relationships,
and generalize results to wider populations.
Qualitative research involves collecting and analyzing non-
numerical data (e.g., text, video, or audio) to understand
concepts, opinions, or experiences. It can be used to gather
in-depth insights into a problem or generate new ideas for
research.
