- The term "re" in research means "again," indicating research involves searching again for information.
- This information already exists but needs strengthening and emphasis.
- Research includes gathering data, information, and facts for knowledge advancement.
Nature of Inquiry
- Inquiry is similar to research and derived from a Greek word.
- Inquiry means a process done using scientific methods.
- It involves seeking information by asking questions about something of interest.
- Both research and inquiry involve investigative work to search for information and examine the object of the search.
- An inquiry is a learning process that motivates the desire to gain knowledge or information about people, things, places, or events.
Ways of Inquiring
- Inquiring involves investigating or asking questions about something one is inquisitive about.
- Inquiring also includes collecting data, facts, and information about the object of inquiry and examining such data carefully.
- It requires executing varied thinking strategies ranging from lower-order to higher-order thinking skills like inferential, critical, integrative, and creative thinking.
Key points to remember
- Research allows gaining new knowledge to resolve existing problems and complement existing knowledge.
- Research and inquiry help inquire about new things from experiences, making life more comfortable.
