word

RESEARCH
Research is an organized
investigation and study of materials
and sources to create facts and reach
new inferences.
Research has come up with developing
appropriate solutions to improve the
individual’s quality of life. Although it may take
place in a different setting and may use
different methods, scientific research is
universally a systematic and objective search
for reliable knowledge (Walker, 2010).
Research is defined as collection, presentation,
analysis and interpretation of facts that lines
an individual‘s speculation with reality.
2. Solutions to problems must be based on
knowledge not on mere beliefs,
guesses or theories.
3. In research a systematic and well-planned
procedure is required to meet the
need in order that information is acquired and
evaluate its accuracy and
effectiveness.
4. It is a process of inquiring1.
II. Nature of Inquiry.
1. Inquiry is defined as “a seeking for truth,
information or knowledge”.
It is a problem solving technique.

2. The information and data pursued through

questioning begins with gathering
by applying the different human senses.
3. Individuals carry on the process of inquiry from
birth till death.

4. Inquiry is synonymous with the word

investigation.
IV. Differentiate Inquiry from Research
Inquiry is a term that is synonymous with the
word ‘investigation’. When you inquire
or investigate, you tend to ask questions to
probe or examine something to request
for truth, information, or knowledge.
Research is systematic and objective creation
of knowledge systematic (with a
system or method, the scientific method),
objective (no bias, all angles presented),
knowledge creation (a creative process)
V. Purpose of Research

1. To inform action.
2. To prove or generate a theory.
3. To augment knowledge in a field or study
VI. Importance of Research in Daily Life
1. Research directs us to inquire about the
right information by conducting
further investigation of the actual condition. It
leads us to be cautious in giving
results and findings by proving lies and
supporting the truth.
2. Research empowers us with knowledge
and discovers new things and issues
in life. It helps us solve problems in health,
crimes, business, technology and
environment.
3. Research facilitates learning as an
opportunity to share valuable information
to others as a way of recognizing various
concerns for public awareness.
Basic This is the type of research
Research that is a purely direct
application but increasing the
nature of understanding
about the problem. It
develops the scientific
theories to be more
understandable to the
readers.
Applied It is a type of research that
Research needs an answer to a
specific question. It provides
solutions and validation in
order to apply to the real
setting.

CHARACTERISTICS, PROCESSES,
AND ETHICS IN RESEARCH
1. EMPIRICAL - is based on observations and
experiments of theories.
2. SYSTEMATIC - follows orderly and sequential
procedures, based on valid procedures and
principles.
3. CONTROLLED - In research, all variables,
except those that are tested/ experimented on,
are kept constant.
CHARACTERISTICS, PROCESSES,
AND ETHICS IN RESEARCH

4.EMPLOYS HYPOTHESIS - refers to a search

for facts, answers to questions and solutions to
problems.
5. ANALYTICAL - shows analytical
procedures in gathering the data, whether
historical, descriptive, and or case study.
6. OBJECTIVE - it is unbiased and logical.
All findings are logically based on real-life
situations.
7. ORIGINAL WORK - it requires its own
examination and produces the data
needed to complete the study.
ADDITIONAL ON THE PROCESSES OF
RESEARCH
1.DEFINE RESEARCH PROBLEM: What
is the problem?
2.REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE:
What evidence is already presented?
3.FORMULATING HYPOTHESIS: How are
we going to find/look for the answer to
questions being studied?
4.RESEARCH DESIGN: Where will the
study be shown and with what population?
5.COLLECTING DATA: Are we ready to
gather the data? Where do we find the
data?
6.ANALYZING DATA: How do the data
answer the research queries?
7.INTERPRET AND REPORT: What are
the implications of the results?
 ETHICS OF RESEARCH
Honesty Maintain all communication. Data
should not be faked.
Objectivity Avoid biases in experimental
designs, data analysis, interpretation,
expert testimony, and other aspects of
research.
Integrity Keep your promises and
agreements.
CarefulnessAvoid careless errors and
negligence.
OpennessShare data, results, ideas and
tools. Be open to criticism and new
ideas.
