INTRODUCTION
TO RESEARCH
RESEARCH
ANALOGY
 Can you still recall
when your Math
teacher- asked you
to solve a
mathematical
problem that you
cannot understand?
BASIC CONCEPT
Etymologically, research came from “re”
and “search”. "Re" is a prefix that means
again, and search is a word which
means to look for. Therefore, research is
to look for something (Chapman 1979).
TAKE NOTE OF
THIS 2
DEFINITION:
First, research is not only about
the discovery of something
unknown, but also coming up
with a new explanation of
something that is known.
Second, research is a process.
It is a process of searching for
something to solve an existing
problem or difficulty to solve.

EMPIRICAL - gathering of factual data derived from physical observation, or thoughts

and experiences founded on social reality or survey that describes a population and

ETHICS OF RESEARCH
Every single research that deals human
participants need to have a good
understanding of research ethics. Since social
research involves human subjects, the conduct
of any inquiry must be treated with candor and
care. The first step is to get their approval of
participation in the research in order not to
trespass on human privacy. Must be properly
addressed. Should observe ethics such as
voluntary participation in research to fair
selection and justice. The problems surrounding
research ethics with human subjects are a
challenging but important duly to deal with.

Qualitative research sheds lights on the
“hows” and “whys” of life experiences

STRENGTHS AND
WEAKNESSES
QUALITATIVE
RESEARCH
 STRENGTHS
● One of the strengths of qualitative research is
that it prevents bias from researchers as
participants’ answers are documented.
● The ability of open-ended questions to gather
detailed information makes is also another
advantage of qualitative research as it enables
researchers to explore unforeseen effects.
● Presenting real life descriptions obtained in the
process of inquiry are also deemed powerful.
● Focused group discussions, aside from being
a more cost-effective option other than doing
interviews, enable people to spontaneously
express their views in a comfortable
atmosphere.
 WEAKNESSES
● Qualitative research also has its weaknesses as
its findings are not generalizable to a bigger
population.
● There is also a tendency to ask leading
questions. It also takes a considerable amount
of time to conduct.
● Interview and analysis may be subjective that
makes up for it to become insufficiently
scientific.
● Participants’ accounts may not also always be
taken accurately that may be due to possible
subjectivity of the researcher.
● The researcher’s presence may also influence
participants’ responses. Depending on people’s
ability to talk in groups, group dynamics may
inhibit people to express their feelings.

DESIGNSCase Study
Phenomenology

Ethnography Historical Research

Grounded Theory Action Research

Phenomenology
● This delves into the unique story of an individual’s
lived experiences that can be subjective.
● It attempts to understand how individuals interpret
a certain phenomenon as the researcher
investigates experiences and the meanings
associated with those who experience it.
● For example, the experiences of persons who
were quarantined and had to live away from their
families will draw an interesting topic from the
points of view of the participants. The participants
may be interviewed to describe their lived
situations. As a researcher, you are expected to
observe bracketing, or separating your own beliefs
and biases about the phenomenon to come up
with “pure” information from what is subjectively
known.
 Ethnography
● This refers to the observational method that
studies people in their natural environment. It
requires the researchers to adapt to their
subject’s surroundings which could be
anywhere from an organization to a city or any
remote location. It aims to understand the
cultures, challenges, motivations and settings
at hand. The researcher experiences the
natural settings firsthand instead of just doing
interviews to gather information. Conducting
research of this design is time consuming as it
may last from a few days to a few years. It
poses a great challenge, requires for a skilled
researcher to come up with reliable analysis.
Grounded Theory
● This occurs when a
researcher discovers a new
theory based on the data
collected.
● It is a research methodology
for discovering theory in a
substantive area.
 Case Study
● This involves a deep dive and
thorough understanding of the
data collection methods and
inferring data of a certain person,
group organization or phenomena
that exists at a specific place and
time. The case refers to the
subject and refers to how a
unique and interesting story really
happened.
Historical Research
● This supports observation where the
researcher tests the authenticity of
reports presented by others on
conditions that happened in the past.
Different documents are used to
arrive at conclusions of past events
or predict future events. Documents
may range from books, newspaper,
photographs, maps, memories,
landscapes or artifacts. It aims to
explain historical events in the past
by comparing them with other past
events or using present day events as
references.
Action Research
● This kind of approach concerns
researchers’ aim to understand and
devise ways to improve current
conditions resulting from the practice
of their professions by working with
others. It aims to find solutions to
pressing problems by identifying
weaknesses and strengths of an
activity or identifying needs of a
profession for better efficiency and
effectiveness.
