I. Understanding Inquiry-Based Research

1. Students formulate their own research questions, design and follow

through with a developed procedure, and communicate their findings and
results. This type of inquiry is often seen in science fair contexts where
students drive their own investigative questions. Through inquiry, students
engage in research around interesting ideas and essential questions.
Questioning, critical thinking, and the creative development of new
knowledge through inquiry are as important to learning as information
finding through research.

2. Qualitative research - Qualitative research is a type of research that aims to

gather and analyses non-numerical data in order to gain an understanding
of individuals' social reality, including understanding their attitudes,
beliefs, and motivation.
Ex: observation, interviews, focus group, survey, and secondary research

Quantitative research - Quantitative research deals in numbers, logic, and

an objective stance. Quantitative research focuses on numeric and
unchanging data and detailed, convergent reasoning rather than divergent
reasoning.
Ex: Experimental research design

Mixed-methods research- combined elements of quantitative research and

qualitative research in order to answer your research question. Mixed
methods can help you gain a more complete picture than a standalone
quantitative or qualitative study, as it integrates benefits of both methods.
Ex: a researcher might use a mixed design to study the influence of
different types of music on relaxation.

3.
 systematic – experimental design study
 empirical - a study conducted to find out whether listening to
upbeat music while working enhances creativity.
 logical – “The Impact of Social Media Usage on Mental Health
Among Adolescents”
 replicable – if a new research paper concludes that smoking is not
related to lung cancer, readers would be very skeptical because it
disagrees with the weight of existing evidence.
 purposive – a researcher studying the experience of individual living
with chronic pain, and therefore selecting a sample of individuals
who have been diagnosed with chronic pain.

II. Formulating Research Questions

1. Quantitative questions:
How many hours using your gadgets?
Qualitative questions:
 What media app you take to much time on it?

2. Quantitative questions:
How can we reduce the risks we face from climate change?
Qualitative questions:
What can eaters do to support a climate-resilient food system?

3. Quantitative questions:
How long does they take in every subject class?
Qualitative questions:
What are some benefits of online classes?

4. B. Case Study
5. D. Ethnographic Research

B. Data Collection Techniques

1. Observation
2. Experiment
3. Survey
4. Focus Group Discussion

IV. Immersion and Reflection

1. My immersion I work in, on the computer laboratory. The main

economic activities where I work is the wiring and installing on the
computers, and fixing lose contact wire.
2. The challenges I face here is the lose contact wires, changing
monitor, and guiding some students while there are using the
computer laboratory, I think being a Computer Teacher is not easy
because there are so many things to do when in times of
malfunctions and some students are not listening what instruction
give to them.
3. As a trainee I think we should ask some help to add some computers
so that it would not be insufficient of computers.
4. Here in ICNHS I can recommend the computer laboratory in every
students who are cant access there internet at home or do some
homework, but here in computer laboratory is free to do your
homework’s and can use the computers.

V. Date Interpretation and Analysis

1. A positive correlation exists between weekly study hours and test scores. This
means that as the number of study hours increases, the test scores also
increase. The trend suggests that students who study more tend to achieve
higher scores.
2. Prediction for 7 Weekly Study Hours: By observing the pattern in the data, we
can estimate the test score for 7 study hours. The scores for 6 and 8 hours
 are 85 and 90, respectively. Assuming a linear trend, the estimated test score
for 7 hours would be around 87.5%, but rounding off, a reasonable prediction
would be 88%.
3. Limitations and Suggested Improvements:
- Small Sample Size: The data includes only five students, which
may not be representative of a larger population. Increasing the
sample size would provide more reliable insights.
- No Consideration of Other Factors: The study does not account for
other variables like individual learning styles, prior knowledge, or
test difficulty. Including these factors could improve the analysis.
- Assumption of Linearity: The data assumes a linear relationship,
but in reality, the impact of study hours on scores may not always
be perfectly proportional. More advanced statistical methods could
verify the trend. Methods could verify the trend.

VI. Research Proposal Outline

I. Title:
The Necessity of Social Media

II. Introduction:
As time goes by, social media becomes an essential way to connect each
other. Connecting information: In the old days, people were used to contacting with
people through writing letters. However, nowadays, with the progress of society, the
development of social media is unavoidable. The rise of social media is a growing
trend in the Internet in recent years. Whether it's foreign Facebook or Twitter, or
micro-blog, it has dramatically changed people's lives and brought us into the era of
social networking. Among younger users, the use of these tools is nearing universal,
such as 86% of 18–29 year old’s using social media everyday (Madden, 2010). Social
media is a tool and platform for people to share ideas and experiences with each
other. Every single day, millions of individuals interact through social media. (Van
Dijck, José, 2013). Thus, it can be seen how important the social media is in our daily
life.

III. Research questioner:

1. How long does you take spending time on social media?

2. What media app do you spend more time?
3. How does social media effect on your mental health?
4. Can social media help you on your studies?
5. Can we take some benefits on social media?

IV. Methodology:

- The use of social media has increased substantially over

the past decade, which has also created many new
opportunities for research. Social networks can be used
 for research planning, recruitment of specific populations
to research studies, and dissemination of results. In
addition, many studies have used social media as a source
of observational data or a platform within which to conduct
experimental studies. Some studies have leveraged social
media to study other issues such as cancer survivorship,
whereas in other studies, the research question is about
social media itself.

V. Expected Outcome:

- The advantages of social media far outweigh the

disadvantages. Opinion: However, before using social media,
people have to think about both good and bad effects and
then use it rationally. Social media makes life easier, and it
has brought us huge benefits. At the same time, it makes the
world brighter and more colorful.
