Study Notes
- The lesson plan is for English 10, Quarter 4, focusing on technical terms in research
- The Most Essential Learning Competency (MELC) is to distinguish technical terms used in research (EN10V-IVa-30)
Objectives
- Define key technical terms related to research
- Appreciate the importance of research in academic and real-world contexts
- Conduct a simple research project, effectively collecting and analyzing data while applying research methods
Subject Matter
- Topic: Distinguish Technical Terms Used in Research
- References: English 10 Quarter 4 – Module 1
- Values Integrated: Integrity, Curiosity, Collaboration
- Skills Developed: Critical Thinking, Writing Skills, Problem Solving Skills
- Materials: PowerPoint presentation, Laptop, Projector
Lesson 1: Research Paper
- Research informs action, proves theories, and contributes to knowledge development
- Research is a systematic and scientific procedure of data collection, compilation, analysis, interpretation, and implication pertaining to any problem
Key Concepts
- Concept: Term abstractly describing/naming an object, phenomenon, or idea
- Examples: Income (P5,000 – P8,000), Age (18-20 y/o), Education Level, Number of Siblings
- Theory: Organized concepts/principles explaining a phenomenon
- Examples: theory of relativity, atomic theory, theory of evolution, and quantum theory
- Variables: Qualities that vary (person, group, subject, event, condition, situation)
- Examples: Age, sex, income, country of birth, expenditure, grades, eye color, vehicle type
- Hypothesis: Logical supposition/educated guess providing a tentative explanation
- Example: "Test anxiety decreases as a result of effective study habits."
- Sampling: Selecting participants representing a larger population
- Example: Randomly choosing 25 employees from a company of 250
Lesson 2: Research Methods
- Quantitative research uses numbers for problem-solving, emphasizing numerical data collection and analysis
- Focuses on numbers, objective hard data, statistical analysis
- Used to describe variables and examine relationships. An example is drug abuser telling how many pills
- Qualitative research is based on non-numerical elements (words, feelings, emotions)
- Uses words instead of numbers to display date
Lesson 3: Elements of Research Paper (IMRAD)
- Title, Author, Abstract, Keywords (descriptive info for searching)
- IMRAD structure: Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion
IMRAD in Detail
- Introduction: Background, research problem, objectives, hypothesis/questions
- Methods: Research design (qualitative/quantitative/mixed), participants, data collection, analysis
- Results: Presentation of findings (tables/figures), statistical analysis (if applicable)
- Discussion: Interpretation, implications, comparison to prior research, limitations
- References: List of all cited sources (APA, MLA, Chicago)
