data from new sources or 1st
hand information.

● Directed towards the solution

of a problem.

ADDITIONAL INFOS:
According to Calmorin&Calmorin
(2007), there are seven characteristics
of research. These are (1) empirical,
(2) logical, (3) cyclical, (4) analytical,
(5) critical, (6) methodical, and (7)
replicability.
ADDITIONAL INFOS:
Empirical. Research is based on
direct experience or observation by
the researcher. The collection of
data relies on practical experience
without giving consideration to
scientific knowledge or theory.
ADDITIONAL INFOS:
Logical. Research is based on
valid procedures and principles.
Scientific study is done in an
orderly manner so that the
investigator has confidence on the
results.
ADDITIONAL INFOS:
Cyclical. Research is cyclical
process because it starts with a
problem and ends with a
problem.
ADDITIONAL INFOS:
Analytical. Research utilizes
proven analytical procedures in
gathering data, whether historical,
descriptive, experimental, and case
study.
ADDITIONAL INFOS:
Critical. Research exhibits
careful and precise judgment. A
higher level of confidence must
be established.
ADDITIONAL INFOS:
Methodical. Research is
conducted in a methodical
manner without bias using
systematic method and
procedures.
ADDITIONAL INFOS:
Replicability. The research
design and procedures are
replicated or repeated to
enable the researcher to arrive
at valid conclusive results.
ADDITIONAL INFOS:
Similarities and differences of
replicated researches can be
compared.
