 Lesson
Observing the Language of Research,
1
Campaigns and Advocacies

In order to complete a research report

successfully, you have to be familiar first
with the Research Languages, Campaigns
and Advocacies used.

It is necessary to understand the specific language of research before

one can proceed with conducting research such as theory, hypothesis, and
variable etc. —that will be defined or further expanded upon.

❖ Theory - is defined as an explanation that offers to classify, organize,

explain, predict, and/or understand the occurrence of specific
phenomena. Research is conducted to determine if theories have any
merit or truly applicable. Proving that a theory is valid and in order to
research about it, the first step is to focus on a concept.
❖ Conceptualization- A concept is best defined as an abstract label that
represents an aspect of reality (usually in the form of an object, policy,
issue, problem, or phenomenon). Every discipline has its own concepts.
Concepts are viewed as the beginning point for all research endeavors,
and are often very broad in nature. They are the bases of theories, and
serve as a means to communicate, introduce, classify, and build
thoughts and ideas. To conduct research, the concept must first be
taken from its conceptual or theoretical level to an observational level.
In other words, one must go from the abstract to the concrete before
research can occur. This process is often referred to as
conceptualization.
❖ Hypothesis-Once the concept has been operationalized into variables
that fit the theory in question, most research focuses on testing the
validity of a statement called a hypothesis. The hypothesis is a specific
statement describing the expected relationship between the independent
and dependent variables.

11
❖ Assumptions -Hypotheses are educated guesses about the relationship
between variables. These educated guesses must be proved by the
research. An assumption is a statement accepted as true with little
supporting evidence. From a research perspective, assumptions are
problematic. It is expected that statements of inquiry or fact be backed
up by research to substantiate them. Fortunately, assumptions can
often lead to research.
❖ Population -A population is the complete group or class from which
information is to be gathered. Most researchers choose to obtain a
sample from the targeted population.
❖ Validity -Validity is a term describing whether the measure used
accurately represents the concept it is meant to measure. There are four
types of validity: face, content, construct, and criterion. Validity can
also be categorized as either internal (truthfulness of the findings with
respect to the individuals in the sample) or external (truthfulness of the
findings with respect to individuals not in the sample).
❖ Reliability -Reliability refers to how consistent the measuring device
would be over time. In other words, if the study is replicated, will the
measuring device provide consistent results? The two key components
of reliability are stability and consistency. Stability means the ability to
retain accuracy and resist change. Consistency is the ability to yield
similar results when replicated. Having established the validity and
reliability of the measuring device, the sample can now be approached
for information. The information gathered is known as data.
❖ Data -are simply pieces of information gathered from the sample. The
pieces may describe events, beliefs, characteristics, people, or other
phenomena.
❖ The Research Process
Now that you have been introduced to research and its language, the
last item you will need to understand is a model of the research process
through terminology. This model begins with a theory usually
identifying some concept. The concept is then conceptualized and
operationalized to create dependent variables. Completing the
identification of both the independent and dependent variables leads
then to developing the hypothesis or hypotheses. Finally, a sample is
chosen.

18
 You’re doing great work! Now that you have
already determined the Research Report pattern, it’s your
time to develop and limit a good research topic in order to
successfully complete a research report. The research
topic must be focused enough to significant interesting,
and comprehensive enough for you to find adequate
information.

Remember that your research topic or thesis

statement consists only of fourteen (14) words.

How to Select and Limit a Topic

7. Formulate a Thesis Statement- what is the

thesis statement of the study that you would like to
conduct?

6. Define your Topic as a Focused Research

Question- What is the primary question that your
research topic wants to answer?

5. Be Flexible- What are the considerations or

adjustments that you would do when there is a need to
modify your research topic?

4. Make a List of Useful Keywords- What are the keywords

that you can use to describe your topic?

3. Focus on Your Topic- What specific area or factor of the local

treasure or heritage in the community would you focus your
research on? Why did you decide to focus on that specific area or
aspect? Who is affected by the topic?

2.Identify the sources of General Background Information- What

sources of information can you use to gather information? Who can
help you in providing information about the topic? Can you use the
library, magazines, journals, periodicals, or the internet to collect
information? Do you know any organization that can help you in
gathering information?

1. Brainstorm for ideas- What local treasure or heritage in the

community would you like to research on? Why does it interest you and
what would you like to know more about it? Do you have an opinion
about the local treasure or heritage?

19
 You’re doing good!
Now it’s your time to develop a good questionnaire
for research.

How to Develop a Questionnaire for Research

1. Figure out what information you are trying to gather from

this Survey - What is your main objective in doing the
questionnaire? What information do you need from the
respondents in order to meet your objectives? Think of questions
that will address your objectives. You should not include any
question that is not directly useful to your research.

2. Write an introduction for your questionnaire - This should

explain a little about your questionnaire: Why are you doing it and
what is your goal? The introduction, while brief, should engage
your target audience. Think about how much they have, and
administer the questionnaire based on that estimate.

3. Use closed questions for questionnaires - A closed question

one that can be answered with a word or a phrase. This makes it
easy for the respondent to give their answer without having to think
of an articulate way to word it. Closed questions also make
classification of responses easier.

20
 4. Order your questions in a way that is meaningful and easy to
follow - Start with questions that are easy to understand and easy to
answer. Opening with harder questions is discouraging and may
scare your respondents before they complete your entire survey. Easy
questions help encourage your participants to finish answering. The
questions should flow in an order that sound natural and does not
skip around too much.

5. Put the more important questions at the beginning of the

questionnaire - Often participants can lose interest on the latter part
of the questionnaire, especially if the survey is rather lengthy. Place
more important questions in the first part of the questionnaire.

6. Add a little variety to your questions - While closed questions are

best for ease of answering and analyzing purposes, adding in a couple
of open-ended questions helps keep respondent from becoming bored.
Open-ended questions require respondents to write out their answers
and to include some detail.

21
 What is your idea of cultural mapping?
What are some of the local treasure that
your community preserve? “How about
the cultural heritage that can be proud
of?”

A - Assets and Resources

Cultural mapping refers to a research tool to holistically

understand the cultural assets of a place based on the local knowledge
of the people (Creativity Network of Canada, 2008). Cultural mapping
is gaining more acceptance as an essential planning and economic
development tool that help planners rediscover the wealth of a places.

Local Treasures and Cultural heritage play a very important role

in our life. It is what keeps us attached to our religion, traditions, and
belief. Culture is what teaches us about our belief. Customs, laws,
dress, architectural style, social standards, religious beliefs and
traditions are examples of cultural elements. And by knowing our own
culture we are better able to understand others. With the great amount
of diversity, we are still able to accept and respect each other and our
beliefs.
Local Heritage. Heritage places or objects that are important for
the community in a local government area.

22
B - Interview with Experts

What is an interview guide?

The Interview Guide summarizes the content that

researchers cover during interviews. It may provide very
minimal direction, leading to “less structured” interviews
that are designed primarily to explore the participants
own perspective on the research topic.
Interview Guides may be unstructured; that ask
general questions to draw out the participants ‘own
account or maybe highly structured, like the survey
questionnaire that identifies both the content and the
possible responses to each question.

23
 How is interviewing conducted?

Interviewing is a conversational practice where

knowledge is produced through the interaction between
and interviewer and an interviewee or a group of
interviewees.
The interview conversation is introduced by a
briefing in which interviewer defines the situation for
the participant and informs him or her about the
purpose of the interview. Usually, the interviewer has
prepared an interview guide in which the research
questions are given a form that renders them suitable
to be posted directly as interview questions.

Do the interviewer record and transcribe the

interviewing process?

Most research interviews are audio recorded and

transcribed. Unless the researcher works directly with the
audio recording of the interview, it is the transcription
rather than the original oral interview conversation that
serves as the researcher’s primary data source when he or
she interprets and analyzes the interview.

What are preparations made before the conduct of

interview?

Before the conduct of the interview, ask permission

from the person whom you’d like to interview by sending a
letter asking permission. You can also give him/her a copy
of the questions to be asked for him to have an idea about
the questions before the actual interview.
