Research
LESSON 1:
IMPORTANCE
OF RESEARCH
IN DAILY LIFE
 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
What is individual’s quality of life.
RESEARCH?  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 helps society to answer the
WHAT and HOW questions. It must be a
proper investigation and should reach a
valid conclusion that would facilitate the
finding of answers to the questions. Some
What is of these questions are:
RESEARCH? 1. How can research affect

society?
2. What is the impact of the research to

daily life?
BASIC RESEARCH
This is the type of research that is a purely
RESEARCH direct application but increasing the nature of
understanding about the problem. It develops

understandable to the readers.
categorized into APPLIED RESEARCH
two: It is a type of research that needs an answer
to a specific question. It provides solutions
and validation in order to apply to the real
setting.
VALUE OF RESEARCH TO MAN
1. Research improves quality of life.

2. Research improves instruction.
3. Research improves student’s achievement.
4. Research satisfies man’s needs.
5. Research reduces the burden of work.

LESSON 2:
CHARACTERISTICS,
PROCESSES, AND
ETHICS IN RESEARCH
Prieto, et.al. (2017) stated that the following
are the major characteristics of 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.
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.
1. DEFINE RESEARCH PROBLEM:
What is the problem?
Research 2. REVIEW OF RELATED

Processes: 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?
Research 6. ANALYZING DATA:
Processes: How do the data answer the research queries?
7. INTERPRET AND REPORT:

What are the implications of the results?
Research Problem is:
Problem:
Problem Answer  Existing in the locality.
 Problem can be answered and
Solution phenomena requires
investigation.
 There are probable solutions.
 Serious needs of the people.
SPECIFIC - the problem should be
Characteristics specifically stated,
MEASURABLE- can be measured by
of Research statistics or techniques.
Problem ATTAINABLE- achievable using
correct statistic techniques.
REALISTIC- real results are not
manipulated.
TIMEBOUND - time frame is required
activity.
CHALLENGING- research challenge
man to be creative, innovation and novel
or original.
1. PURPOSE - aim of the problem.

research is

4. PERIOD - time of the study
-WHEN
5. POPULATION- from whom data
was gathered.
-WHO
EXAMPLE:
1. To determine the status of the teaching of

UCSP in San Carlos CIty, Pangasinan during SY
2021-2022.
PURPOSE: To determine the status
SUBJECT MATTER: Teaching UCSP
LOCALE: San Carlos City, Pangasinan
PERIOD: SY:2021-2022
Population: UCSP Teachers
Identify the elements of the research problem
the following.
1. To determine the effectiveness of the Blended

Teaching Method in learning Physics.
2. To explore the marital practices of ifugao
elders.
3. To determine the knowledge, skills and
attitudes of Public Health Workers on integrated
management of childhood illness in
Pangasinan.
Ethical norms are significant in conducting
research studies as explained in the following:
(Resnik, 2007)
 Ethics promotes the pursuit of knowledge,

truth, and credibility. It also fosters values that
are essential to collaborative work.
 Ethical norms help individuals to be

accountable in every act that the researcher/s
undertake.
Ethical norms are significant in conducting
research studies as explained in the following:
(Resnik, 2007)
 Ensure that researchers are held accountable

to the public.
 An ethical norm in research also needs public
awareness. This can be evaluated by the
researcher before conducting the study
because this may help a certain population in
an area once the study is completed.
Ethical Codes and Policies for Research, Resnik, 2007
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.
Carefulness: Avoid careless errors and negligence.
Openness: Share data, results, ideas and tools. Be open
to criticism and new ideas.
Confidentiality: Protect confidential communication.

Responsible: Publication Avoid duplicating publications.
Responsible Mentoring: Help to educate, mentor, and
advise others.
Respect Colleagues: Treat all peers fairly.
Social Responsibility: Strive to promote social good.

Non- Discrimination: Avoid discrimination against
colleagues or students on the basis of sex, races,
ethnicity, and or others.
Legality: Be informed and obey relevant laws and

institutional governmental policies.
Respect of Intellectual Property: Give proper
acknowledgment or credits to all researchers.
Human Subject: Minimize risks that involve human
lives, dignity, and privacy.
LESSON 3:

QUALITATIVE
RSEARCH.
QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH
- is a positivist scientific QUALITATIVE RESEARCH
method which refers to a - is defined as the “naturalistic
general set of orderly method of research which

2004). discovering it straightly.”
- Mostly, it is concerned with (Beck, 2004)
numbers and - It is concerned with the
measurement. experiences, understanding
