INQUIRIES,

INVESTIGATION
AND IMMERSION
 The 3 I’s: Inquiries, Investigation and
Immersion is a way of realizations that come
along their life such as the different issues
which surround them. This query is the act of
asking for information that leads to
exploration and
absorption.
CLASS ORIENTATION
 Research is an investigation or
experimentation aimed at the discovery and
interpretation of facts, revision of accepted
theories or laws in the light of new facts, or
practical application of such new or revised
theories or laws. It is also a practice of
collecting information about a particular
subject.
 Research provides the best solution to some
of the world problems and also enhance the
knowledge of the researchers. It can give
explanations to certain questions stated in the
research problem. Through the explanations, it
serves as a tool for building knowledge and for
facilitating new learning.
Now, to give you an idea of how to prepare for
research, you may do the inquiry-based learning
using the following steps mentioned below:
• Focus. An ill-structured problem demands
consideration of diverse perspectives.
• Decide on a topic. Think-aloud, asks probing
questions, monitors and encourages
participants to decide a topic.
• Understanding the problem. This will
include clarifications of misconceptions and
possibilities.
• Design on the problem. This is the
final stage done to address problems
within manageable scales and extend
their learning pathways.
 The following are the
things that may be considered
before starting the research
activity:
Criteria in Choosing a Research Topic:
1. It should be something new or different
from what has already been written about.
2. It must be original.
3. It should be significant to the field of
study or discipline.
4. It must necessarily arouse intellectual
curiosity.
5. It should be of researcher’s interest.
6. It should be a modest one for a beginner
to be carried out within a limited period of
time.
7. It should be clear, not ambiguous.
8. It should be specific, not general.
9. It should consider the training and
personal qualifications of the researcher.
10.It should consider the availability of data
involved in the study and the methods and
techniques to be employed in gathering them.
11.It should consider the availability of effective
instruments for gathering the data and their
treatment.
12. It should consider the financial
capacity of the researcher to support the
project.
13. It should consider the time factor
involved in the undertaking.
BACKGROUND
OF THE
PROBLEM
The background of your study will provide
context to the information discussed throughout
the research process. The background
information of your study may include both
important and relevant studies. Furthermore, the
background of the study will deliberate your
statement of the problem, rationale, and research
questions. It links the introduction to your
Problem statements or background of
the study have three elements:
➢ The problem itself, stated clearly and
with enough contextual detail to establish
why it is important;
➢ The method of solving the problem,
often stated as a claim or a working thesis;
➢ The purpose, statement of objectives
Research Problem
A research problem is a statement about
an area of concern, a condition to be
improved, a difficulty to be eliminated, or
a troubling question that exists in
scholarly literature, in theory, or in
practice that points to the need for
CONCEPTUAL
FRAMEWORK
A Conceptual Framework is an analytical
tool with several variations and contexts that
can be applied in different categories of work
where an overall picture is needed to come up
with the desired goal. It is necessary to make
conceptual and theoretical distinctions and
organize ideas. Strong and resilient conceptual
The theoretical and conceptual
frameworks provide evidence of
academic standards and procedures
that validates the authenticity of the
study. They also proposed an
explanation and clarification of why
How to create a Conceptual
Framework
A conceptual framework is a bit like
a recipe or a blueprint. It provides an
outline of how you plan to conduct
the research of your thesis, but it
Conduct a Literature Review
Before you can have your research,
you need to understand and
comprehend what research has
already been conducted on your
topic of interest and curiosity.
Create a Flow Chart
Conceptual frameworks are frequently visual
and allow those reading the framework to
understand the course of your research. You
can present this in whatever way makes the
most sense for your work, which can include
a flow chart, mind gap or diagram. In every
Write a Narrative
If you include a diagram in your
conceptual framework, a narrative
should also be included explaining
these details for those who prefer more
in-depth information. Bolded headers
Return and Revise
As you begin your research, you may
discover that certain elements of your
conceptual framework are no longer
needed. You will discover new variables,
or you may identify that your hypothesis
is incorrect. You may discover additional

HYPOTHESIS
(QUANTITATIVE
RESEARCH)
Research Hypothesis is vital to
all research endeavors, whether
qualitative or quantitative,
exploratory or explanatory.
The hypothesis in your study, you
Following are some hints for the formulation of your
hypothesis.
➢ Be certain to read on the subject matter to explain with
it before making a final decision
➢ As noted, a research hypothesis is more than just a
topic. It has two elements (variables) that are in relation to
each other. Your hypothesis is what you propose to
“prove” by your research. As an outcome of your
research, you will
arrive at a conclusion, a theory, or understanding that will
be useful or applicable beyond the research itself.
➢ Your hypothesis must involve an issue or question that
cannot be answered exclusively by the discipline of law.
➢ Be certain that each term if your hypothesis is clearly
understood and defined,
do not deal in generalities or assume that the reader knows
the meaning of
the technical term.
➢ Specify, if appropriate, whether you will be dealing
with state or federal law or
You must obtain the teacher’s approval of your
hypothesis, as well as any
modifications to your hypothesis, before
proceeding with any work on the topic.
You will be expressing your hypothesis in 3 ways:
➢ As a one-sentence hypothesis.
➢ As a research question.
➢ As a title for your paper.
 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
Purpose of the Statement of the Problem:
➢ To describe the substantive focus of the research study
➢ To frame it as
➢ A larger theoretical policy
➢ A practical problem and thereby, develop its
significance
➢ To pose initial research questions
➢ To forecast the literature to be discussed in the second
section and

➢ What are the underlying causes of narcissism?
➢ How has technology contributed to narcissistic behavior?

 IMPORTANCE OF THE STUDY
This portion discusses how to write this section
and provides an example to illustrate
the different techniques.
In an actual fact, the section on the significance of the
study provides information to
the reader on how the study will contribute. It must be
exactly stated, however, what
the study will contribute and who will benefit from it
 SCOPE AND LIMITATIONS OF
THE STUDY
The scope and delimitation of the study set
borders and limitations of the problem inquiry
and narrow down the scope of the inquiry. The
purpose of the delimitation of the study is to
delimit by geographic location, age, sex,
population traits, population size, or other
similar aspects.
Delimitation makes study more manageable
and feasible. Part of it sets the constraints or
weaknesses of a study which are beyond the
control of the researcher.
