Purposes of Research
1. To learn how to work independently
2. To learn how to work scientifically or systematically
3. To have an in-depth knowledge of something
4. To elevate your mental abilities by letting you think in higher-order
thinking strategies (HOTS) of inferring, evaluating, synthesizing,
appreciating, applying, and creating
5. To improve your reading and writing skills
6. To be familiar with the basic tools of research and the various
techniques of gathering data and of presenting research findings
7. To free yourself, to a certain extent, from the domination or strong
influence of a single textbook or of the professor’s lone viewpoint or
spoon feeding
The Importance of Research in Daily Life
1. Widens learners’ vocabulary
2. Facilitates problem-solving acts
3. Improves learners’ learning abilities
4. Increases social awareness and cultural heritage
5. Encourages cooperative learning
6. Provides mastery of procedural knowledge
7. Hastens/quickens conceptual understanding
8. Encourages higher-order thinking strategies
9. Elevates interpretative thinking through graphic skills
CHARACTERISTICS OF RESEARCH
1. Accuracy. It must give correct or accurate data, should honestly and
appropriately documented or acknowledged.
2. Objectiveness. It must deal with facts, not with mere opinions arising
from assumptions, generalizations, predictions, or conclusions.

concise, and correct language. sf
6. Systematic. It must take place in an organized or orderly manner.
RESEARCH PROCESSES
1. Develop a research plan
2. Define research problem
3. Collect research data
4.Analyze research data
5. Present the findings
6. Disseminate and utilize findings
RESEARCH ETHICS - research activities which include the design and
implementation of research, respect towards society and others,
RESEARCH ETHICS
1. Scientific soundness
2. Consent
3. Informant Validation
4. Confidentiality
5. Exploitation
6. Misrepresentation
7. Identification of the participant by self or others

Scientific Soundness - This is about proper design of a study


Consent - This is used if the approval from adult participants is sought
Informed assent is sought from participants who have not yet reached the
legal age
Confidentiality about how their identifiable private information will be
handled, managed, and disseminated
Exploitation This happens when the researcher gets along with them just to
gain favor.
Misrepresentation represents data or information incorrectly, improperly or
falsely
Qualitative Research - people’s thinking or point of view conditioned by
their personal traits. so, they are assigned nominal scales. The word
“nominal” means “name,”
Quantitative Research – systematic investigation of phenomena by
gathering quantifiable data and performing statistical, mathematical, and
sending out online surveys, online polls, questionnaires, etc.
Types of Research
1. Based on Application of Research Method
a. Pure Research – deals with concepts, principles, or abstract things;
aims to increase your knowledge about something.
b. Applied Research – apply your chosen research to societal problems
or issues, finding ways to make positive changes in society
2. Based on Purpose of Research
a. Descriptive Research – This type of research aims at defining or
giving a verbal portrayal or picture of a person, thing, event, group,
situation, etc.
b. Correlational Research – shows relationships or connectedness of
two factors
c. Explanatory Research – This type of research elaborates or
explains
d. Exploratory Research – how reasonable or possible it is to
conduct a research study on a certain topic.
e. Action Research –that will bring improvements in the system.
3. Based on Data Needed
o Qualitative research requires non-numerical data, which
means that the research uses words rather than numbers
o Quantitative research involves measurement of data. (i.e.,
using percentages, fractions, numbers).

Primary data are obtained through direct observation or contact with


people, objects, artifacts, paintings, etc.
secondary data have already written about or reported on and are
available for reading purposes, they exist
Approaches to Research
1. Scientific or Positive Approach - you discover and measure
information as well as observe and control variables in an impersonal
manner.
2. Naturalistic Approach – this approach uses words. These are non-
numerical data that express truths about the way people perceive or
understand the world.
3. Triangulation Approach - combination of the first two approaches.
you are free to gather and analyze data using multiple methods,
allowing you to combine or mix up

Characteristics of Qualitative Research


1. Human understanding and interpretation. Data analysis results
show an individual’s mental, social, and spiritual understanding of the
world.
2. Active, powerful, and forceful. As you go throughthe research
process, you find the need to amend phrase interview questions
3. Multiple research approaches and methods. Qualitative
research allows you to approach or plan your study in varied ways.
4. Specificity to generalization. Specific ideas in qualitative
research are directed to a general understanding of something.
5. Contextualization. It is crucial for you to examine the context
6. Diversified data in real-life situations. A qualitative researcher

study at the time of data collection and analysis.
6. Content and Discourse Analysis. requires an analysis or
examination of the substance A study of language structures used in
the medium of communication

QUALITATIVE QUANTITATIVE
Open-ended questions Closed-ended questions
Expressed in words Expressed in numbers
Characterized by understanding, Characterized by testing
context, complexity, subjectivity measurement, objectivity,
replicability
Few Respondents Used Math and Statistical
Analyze the results through Focused on testing the
