Lesson 1: Nature of Inquiry and Research Flashcards
research helps society to answer the
WHAT and HOW questions
categories of research
basic and applied
This is the type of research that is a purely direct
application but increasing the nature of
understanding about the problem. It develops the
scientific theories to be more understandable to the
readers.
basic research
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.
applied research
major characteristics of research
empirical, systematic, controlled, employs hypothesis, analytical, objective, original work
based on observations and experiments of theories.
empirical
follows orderly and sequential procedures, based on valid
procedures and principles.
systematic
In research, all variables, except those that are tested/
experimented on, are kept constant.
controlled
refers to a search for facts, answers to questions and
solutions to problems.
employs hypothesis
shows analytical procedures in gathering the data, whether
historical, descriptive, and or case study.
analytical
it is unbiased and logical. All findings are logically based on real-life
situations.
objective
it requires its own examination and produces the data needed to
complete the study.
original work
the best way to evaluate the validity of a certain study.
integration
7 steps in the research process
define research problem; review of related literature; formulating hypothesis; research design; collecting data; analyzing data; interpret and report
What is the problem?
define research problem
What evidence is already presented?
review of related literature
How are we going to find/look for the answer to
questions being studied?
formulating hypothesis
Where will the study be shown and with what population?
research design
Are we ready to gather the data? Where do we find the data?
collecting data
How do the data answer the research queries?
analyzing data
What are the implications of the results?
interpret and report
promotes the pursuit of knowledge, truth, and credibility. It also fosters
values that are essential to collaborative work.
ethics
help individuals to be accountable in every act that the
researcher/s undertake.
