TECHNICAL TERMS USED IN RESEARCH

I. INTRODUCTION:
You are now on the final phase of your Junior High School. In this stage, you will still make a lot of
discoveries that will help you become more enhanced in thinking critically and more inquisitively
through research.

This module was designed to help you distinguish the technical terms used in research. The scope of
this module permits it to be used in many different learning situations especially in conducting research
to aid you to become more creative and have the sense to work systematically to increase your
knowledge. The language used recognizes the diverse vocabulary level of students, and the lessons
are arranged to follow the standard sequence of the course.

II. MELC (with codes):

After going through this Learning Activity Sheets, you are expected to:
1. Distinguish technical terms used in research (EN10V-Iva-30)
a. Define research;
b. Familiarize the technical terms used in research;
c. Distinguish technical terms used in research; and
d. Formulate interview guide questions or survey questionnaire.

III. STRATEGY:
A. EXPLORE:
ACTIVITY 1 WHAT YOU KNOW IS WHAT YOU GET
Directions: In this activity, you are going to check what you already know about the lesson. Solve the
crossword puzzle by writing the correct terms used in research that correspond to their meaning. Clues
are also provided.

Technical Terms Used in Research

1. Research Title is a subject or topic that researcher finds interesting when conducting research.
This needs to be narrowed down which will focus on the main idea.
2. Abstract summarizes all sections and helps readers decide whether or not to read the entire
report.
3. Introduction presents background information, scope, and focus of the research paper.
4. Literature Review provides a review of what others have written or researched on concerning
the topic. In some research reports, concept literature, research literature, theoretical framework,
conceptual framework, research hypothesis, and definition of terms are also included.
5. Methodology explains how the research was conducted. These include the research design,
population and sampling procedure, research instrument, data gathering procedure, and data
analysis procedure.
6. Discussion presents the information gathered through the research.
7. Conclusion provides the summary of the research. It brings the report to closure by giving
emphasis to ideas stated previously.
8. Results contain other related information such as graphs, charts, tables, and lists.
9. Cultural mapping refers to a research tool to holistically understand the cultural assets of a place
based on the local knowledge of the people.
10.Interview is a conversational practice where knowledge is produced through the interaction
between an interviewer and an interviewee or a group of interviewees.
11.Interview Guide summarizes the content that researchers cover during interviews. At one
extreme, it may provide very minimal directions, leading to “less structured” interviews that are
designed primarily to explore the participant’s own perspective on the research topic.

Tips for Formulating Questions

✓ Pose open, rather than closed questions.
✓ Sequence interview questions from broad to narrow.
✓ Avoid the inclusion of possible responses in questions.
✓ Pose one question at a time.
✓ Avoid posing multi-part questions.
 12.Questionnaire is a set of questions to gather information in a survey. It may be in a form of open-
end format that allows the respondents to answer in any way he or she wishes in his or her term,
multiple choice format that presents a question which is followed by a set of options pre-
determined by the researcher, or checklist format that is used exclusively or with some use of
free-response option.

Tips for Writing a Great Survey Questionnaire

✓ Focus on asking closed-ended questions.
✓ Keep your survey questions neutral.
✓ Keep a balanced set of answer choices.
✓ Don’t ask for two things at once.
✓ Keep your questions different from each other.
✓ Let most of your questions be optional to answer.
13.Survey is a statistical analysis of answers to a poll of a sample of a population, e.g. to
determine opinions, or knowledge.
14.Plagiarism occurs when ideas, information, and even pictures are used without proper
acknowledgement of the original sources. Providing in-text citation or parenthetical text from
another source is a surefire method to avoid plagiarism.

✓ Running Text
According to Shane (2021), use of in-text citation shows that the idea is not yours and
that you acknowledge its rightful source.
✓ Within Parenthesis
The use of in-text citation shows that the idea is not yours and that you acknowledge its
original source (Shane, 2001).

15. Reference is a list of all sources used in research.

16. Appendix contains related information such as graphs, charts, tables, lists.

C. ENGAGE:
ACTIVITY 2: IDENTIFY ME
Directions: Read the following statements very well. Distinguish the terms used in research that
correspond to the statements. Choose your answer from the pool of terms in the box. Write your
answer on the space provided.

Interview Guide Reference Plagiarism

Methodology Literature Review Research Title

_____________________ 1. It pertains to the inclusion of question-based or topic based. This

may be used in the form of general questions.
_____________________ 2. It discusses published information in a particular subject area.
_____________________ 3. It is the part where you indicated the research instrument.
_____________________ 4. It is placed where you remember that it is important to give credit
where it is due. This means you acknowledge the author’s work.
_____________________ 5. It refers to the process of using the information without giving due
credit to the writer.
 ACTIVITY 3: WHAT DO YOU THINK
Directions: Study the sample terms applied in writing research report. Distinguish how the terms were
used based on the content provided. Answer the question for each item by writing the letter on the
space before the number.

This study was conducted to determine the possible correlation among language
learning attitudes, linguistic competence, and academic performance in English among the
Grade 10 students of Geras Integrated School, Isabela City, Zamboanga Peninsula during the
school year 2016-2020. This was done to provide empirical data to support Gardner’s Socio-
educational Model of Second Language Acquisition. Gardner (1985) hypothesized that L2
learners with positive learning attitudes toward the target culture and people will learn the target
language more effectively than those who do not have positive attitudes.
