Study Notes
Research Types
- Fundamental Research: Known as basic or pure research, this area focuses on exploring knowledge driven by curiosity without immediate practical application.
- Applied-Practical Research: Aims to address immediate and specific practical problems. It facilitates educators in solving classroom-related issues using scientific inquiry, albeit with less rigorous methodology compared to fundamental research.
- Mission-Oriented Research: Employs a systematic, solution-based approach to achieve specific goals, focusing on outcomes.
Societal Evolution
- Hunter and Gatherer Societies: Considered the most primitive form of societal structure, relying on foraging and hunting for subsistence.
- Shifting and Farming Societies: Example includes slash and burn farming, a practice that removes vegetation to cultivate crops.
- Agricultural and Mining Societies: Depend on natural resources to meet human needs, with inherent risks of environmental damage.
- Manufacturing and Processing Societies: The industrial revolution was marked by the widespread use of coal, leading to increased production capabilities.
- Synthesizing and Recycling Societies: Focus on producing synthetic foods and recycling non-renewable resources for sustainability.
Terminology
- Historical Context: Refers to elements important in history, including archival documentation and chronicled events.
- Antecedents: Highlights preliminary stages or predecessors that lead to current understanding or practices.
