 Benefits of Research
In making a science research project, the researchers
usually take into consideration the problems that arise in
the school and the community.
Ex.
In a particular community where there are several
families that harvest tomatoes at the same time.
Eventually, because the supply is high, the price is
low. As one who is knowledgeable in science
research, you can help them by thinking of a
method on how to preserve the tomatoes until the
time comes when the supply is low an the price is
high.
Students in Research
Sibolbora (1995), the youth of today is the best target
group to introduce science research. It is during this
period that they are very curious, very dynamic and
very responsive to changes.

Honesty in Research
Student researchers adopt a particular ready-made
write-up, improve it by developing and presenting
another methodology which must be unique from the
original.
 Ethics and Research
Consider the following situation:
A group of student researchers have learned from a
grandfather that a not-so familiar-plant can cure intestinal
disorder. So the students gathered the leaves and prepared a
decoction and tried it on a patient who happened to complain
of stomach ache. The patient was rushed to the hospital.

Do not use humans as specimens. At any rate there are

already herbal plants which have been scientifically
proven to cure intestinal or stomach troubles.
Characteristics of a Good Science
Research Topic

Your science research topic must:

a. Be related to the field of science that you like. This implies

that you know a lot of concepts and principles about it or
you are very willing to do intensive research.
b. Be a felt problem in the school, in the community or in the
country in which you want to offer a solution.
c. Not incur too much money.
d. Be testable. The output can be tried out.
Characteristics of a Good Science
Research Topic

Your science research topic must:

e. Be specific. Not broad. You should be able to

realize it in a desirable period of time.
f. Be attainable. It can be done. It is possible within
your capabilities.
g. Be observable. You can use the different senses
to explore it.

 GUIDELINES IN WRITING THE
TITLE

1. The title is formulated before the start of

the research work. It may be revised and
refined later if there is a need.
3. It must be broad enough
2. The title must contain the subject matter
to include all aspects of the
of the study, the locale of the study, the
subject matter studied or to
population involved, and the period when
be studied. Hence, the title
the data were gathered or will be gathered.
indicates what is expected
to be found inside the
research study.
 GUIDELINES IN WRITING THE
TITLE

4. It must be brief and concise if possible.

5. Avoid using the terms “An analysis of,”

“A study of,” “An Investigation of,” and the
like. All these things are understood to have
done or to be done when a research is
conducted.
6. If the title contains more than one line, it must be
written like an inverted pyramid, all words in capital
letters.
 Elements of a Research Problem

1. Aim or purpose of the problem for investigation. This

answers the question “Why?” Why is there an investigation,
inquiry or study?
2. The subject matter or topic to be investigated.
This answers the question “What?” What is to be
investigated or studied?

3. The place or locale where the research is to be

conducted. This answers the question “Where?”
Where is the study to be conducted?
 Elements of a Research Problem

4. The period or time of the study during which the data are to
be gathered. This answers the question “When?” When is the
study to be carried out?

5. Population or universe from whom the data are to

be collected. This answers the question “Who?” or
“From whom?” Who are the respondents? From
whom are the data to be gathered?
