What is RESEARCH?
Research
• is an organized investigation and study of materials
and sources to create facts and reach new inferences.
Research has developed appropriate solutions to
improve the individual’s quality of life.
• Research is a verified approach to thinking and
employing legalized instruments and steps to obtain
an adequate solution to a problem that is otherwise
impossible to address under ordinary means
(Crawford, as cited by Alcantara & Espina, 1995).
• Research helps society 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 of these
questions are: How can research affect
society? What is the impact of the research
on daily life?
Research can be categorized into two:
• Basic Research
-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.
• Applied 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.

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.
Prieto, et.al. (2017) also added that the following are involved in the
Research Processes:
1. DEFINE RESEARCH PROBLEM: What is the problem?
2. REVIEW OF RELATED 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?
6. ANALYZING DATA: How do the data answer the research
queries?
7. INTERPRET AND REPORT: What are the implications of the
results?
• According to Resnik, 2007, ethical norms are
significant in conducting research studies as
explained in the following:
First, ethics promotes the pursuit of
knowledge, truth, and credibility. It also fosters
values that are essential to collaborative work.
Second, ethical norms help individuals to be
accountable in every act that the researcher/s
undertake
Third, ensure that researchers are held
accountable to the public.
Lastly, 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
• Given the importance of ethics in the conduct of a research,
you will follow codes and policies for research:
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. Avoid social harm.
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.
