Practical Research
Research is a method of acquiring knowledge based
on the scientific method of inquiry to enrich the
systems of objectives knowledge in the fields of
natural and social sciences.

Polt & Beck (2001) stated that research is a systematic

inquiry that uses disciplined methods to answer
questions or solve problems. The goals of research are
to develop, refine, and explain a body of knowledge.
Research is a systematic research in any topic, Here are
the examples :
• In Art - When it deals with a skills that require dexterity and
proficiency.

• In Natural Science - When it pertains to an empirical inquiry of

natural phenomena including biological life.

• In Social Science - When it involves a study of human behaviour

and societies. It is "social" research because its primary interest is
human being, the context of his/her life and environment.
Pilispis (2001) cited that research is carried out for
specific purpose to answer specific questions to solve a
particular problem or issue. It seeks new knowledge and
provides useful information in the form of verifiable
datela. It contributes to the attainment of the
development goals of a nation.

Research is not only conducted because it is a

prerequisite to obtaining a degree, but more so because
it can mobilize society.
