What is Inquiry – Based Learning?

Inquiry is defined as “a seeking for truth, information or knowledge”. The

information is sought through questioning. Individuals carry on the process of
inquiry from birth till death. The process of inquiry begins with gathering
information and data through applying the various human senses.
The elements of inquiry – based process is multiple, varied, and open to
selection. Different factors will be involved different kinds of inquiries in different
areas of knowledge and at different levels of experience.

Research is the systematic investigation and study of materials and sources to
establish facts and reach new conclusions. When you come across studies about
events that happen or experiences that you meet, they shape people’s understanding
of the world around them. In various spheres of human life, research has come up
with developing appropriate solutions to improve the individual’s quality of life.
Although it may take place in different settings and may use different methods, a
scientific research is universally a systematic and objective search for reliable
knowledge.
Research holds the following significant data:

 To gather necessary information

 To make changes
 To improve the standard of living
 For a safer life
 To know the truth
 To explore our history
 To understand arts

RESEARCH IS LIFE...

Researchers must not simply set results and recommend actions.
The importance of research should be measured on the extent to which
they are being actually carried out.
Research is conducted in many different settings. Conducting
research in an educational setting is important in every educator’s
professional life. Education in a research is done to improve these
practices. There are two basic importance of research, to learn
something or to gather evidence. To learn something is for our benefit. It
is almost impossible for a person to stop learning. Research is organized
learning looking for specific things to add to our store of knowledge.

& Ethics of Research

Research is a process of gathering, analyzing, and interpreting
information to answer questions. Good research follows processes that must have a
certain characteristic. It must be systematic, controlled, rigorous, valid, and
verifiable, empirical, and critical. To avoid unethical practices researchers had
obligations to adhere professional standards in conducting research. Thus, to
consider research writing ethical it must be clear, accurate, just, and authentic.

In the previous lessons, you learned the meaning of research and its
importance in your daily life. Research is different from inquiry. When you inquire
or investigate, you tend to ask questions to probe or examine something to request
for truth, information, or knowledge. The importance of research helps improved life
as well as finding a solution to problems through reliable and validated information.

Research Process

Research is a process that

requires patience and thought.
There is no easy way to make
certain that you have exhausted
every resource and found best
research. Research is more of an art

rather than science.

9
 Research is expected to be organized which is shown when it utilizes a
planned procedure because there is a structure or method in going about doing
research. It is also systematic when there is a definite set of procedures and steps
which will you follow. These processes are considered and selected, based on the
following factors: validity and appropriateness to the research topics; manageability
including time reserved; and safety and ethical manners.

Researc
h
Research has two broad methodologies: qualitative research and
quantitative research. Quantitative and qualitative research are
complementary methods that you can combine in your research studies
to get results that are both wide-reaching and profound. To get the best
results from these methods in your research you must understand the
differences between them which you will study in this lesson.
In the previous lessons, you learned that research should be
systematic, objective, feasible, empirical, and clear. These
characteristics guide you in realizing the real nature of research
following the processes as well as the factors in selecting your general
problem or topic. As a researcher you need to consider the ethics and
unethical practices in conducting research.

According to design and methodology, a research can be

qualitative or quantitative in nature and a number of approaches can be
identified, some of which are action research, ethnographic study,
experimental research, and participatory research.
Qualitative research deals with designs, techniques and measures
that do not produce discrete numerical data. It involves extensive narrative
data in order to gain insights into phenomena. Quantitative research is
more often associated with hard data. This research is used to quantify –
that is to put numerical equivalents to findings. This type of research is not
limited to mathematics. It quantifies attitudes, opinions, behaviors, and
other defined variables.

Differences of Qualitative and Quantitative Research

13
COMMONALITIES OF QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH
 Empirical research is aimed at creating new knowledge.
 Research creates knowledge by observing phenomena.
 All the entities of interest like attitudes, motives and learning can
be inferred from observing what people do or say in each setting.
 All researchers are concerned about the universality of ideas or
expressing an idea in a general statement.

4 Different
Areas or Fields
Developing an interest in different kinds of research will help you look into
something that affects your personality or your life in some important way. If you are
interested on a topic you are researching, you will enjoy reading and learning about
it. To clearly define the types of research in areas of interest you want to embark,
focus your scientific skills, your passion, and ideas. It supports you to connect to
your career path. The examples of research in areas of interest will lead you to
choose specific topic of your research study which you will be exploring to create
new knowledge.

In the previous lessons, you learned about research methods to be used in your
particular field of study. Whatever methods are used, there are many resources to
support research, and any number of variations to the basic methods. Choosing a
method of research that is adaptable in your study as a learner guides you to start
deciding on what topic you want to pursue.

Research is an academic understanding across disciplines. It involves

scholarly process of search and research. It involves observation, investigation, and
experimentation on a subject for any of the following purpose to discover new
knowledge and paradigm; to develop and improve standards and protocols; and to
test and apply theories or laws in professional practice.
To qualify as research, the process must have certain characteristics: it must
be controlled, rigorous, systematic, valid, verifiable, empirical, and critical.

Types and Examples of Research

1. Applied Research – designed to solve practical problems of the modern world,
rather than to acquire knowledge for knowledge’s sake; it goals is to improve
human condition.
2. Basic Research – advances fundamental knowledge about the human world. It
focuses on refuting or supporting theories that explain how this world operates,
what makes things happen, why social relations are a certain way, and why
society change.

28

18
 3. Correlational Research – systematic investigation or statistical study of
relationships among two or more variables, without necessarily determining cause and
effect. It seeks to establish a relation or association between two or more variables that
do not readily lend themselves to experimental manipulation.
4. Descriptive Research – provides an accurate portrayal of a class or a particular
individual situation or group. It is also known as statistical research. These studies
are a means of discussing new meanings, describing what exists, determining the
frequency with which something occurs and categorizing information.
5. Ethnographic Research - investigation of a culture through an in-depth study
of the members of the culture; it involves the systematic collection, description,
and analysis of data for development of theories of cultural behavior.
6. Experimental Research – an objective, systematic, controlled investigation, for
the purpose of predicting and controlling phenomena, and examining probability and
causality among selected variables.
7. Exploratory Research – type conducted for a problem that has not been clearly
defined. It helps determine the best research design, data collection method and
selection of subjects. It can be informal, relying on secondary research such as
review, available literature and/or data.
8. Historical Research – involving analysis of events that occurred in the remote or
recent past. It can show patterns that occurred in the past and over time which can
help to see where we came and what kind of solutions we have used in the past.
9. Phenomenological Research – inductive descriptive research developed from
phenomenological philosophy. Its aim is to describe an experience as it is lived by
the person. It is concerned with the study of experience from the perspective of the
individual.
10 Action Research – applications of the steps of the scientific method in the
classroom problems. This type of research is done in extremely limited scope. The
population to be studied is not so big. This type of research is helpful to beginning
researchers.
