Study Notes

Review Script Midterm Exam: Research Applied to Cooperatives

Basic Understanding of Research: The 1987 Constitution prioritizes research and development, enabling the state to support indigenous scientific and technological capabilities. Congress can offer incentives (e.g., tax deductions) to encourage private participation in this area.

Priority Discipline Cluster

Disciplines like science, mathematics, education, health, information technology, engineering, agriculture, and social sciences are prioritized for cooperative research.

Reason for Research Subject

Higher education programs should address current needs, incorporating research requirements in all bachelor's degree programs.

Components of Research Process

This section details the research process's stages:
- Formulation: Identifying the research problem or question and designing the study.
- Literature Review: Examining relevant existing research.
- Refining/Designing: Further defining the problem, sub-problems and the research methodology.
- Research Design/Activities: Detailing steps for the data collection and analysis plan.
- Proposal Development: Creating a formal plan for the research project.
- Gathering/Processing of Data: Executing the planned methods to collect and analyze data.
- Writing the Report: Presenting the findings and analysis.

DCSD responds to needs of varied communities (local, regional, national, and global) in the cooperative sector.
Their research is aligned with national higher education, economic development, and cooperative development agendas for 2023-2028.
DCSD aims to provide research services and skill-building programs relevant to the cooperative sector.

What is Research?

Research is the process of identifying possible solutions to human problems.
Research involves the discovery of truth, gathering data, and finding solutions to problems.
It's essential to gather evidence for accurate knowledge.

Types of Research

Pure/Basic Research: Exploration of knowledge and a method/process of discovery.
Original/Primary Research: Finding information nobody has discovered before.
Secondary Research: Analyzing and interpreting existing research to create new understandings.

Criteria in Selecting a Research Problem/Topic

Novelty: Avoiding duplication of existing research.
Importance: Addressing immediate societal needs.
Interest: Intellectual curiosity and motivation.
Training/Qualifications: Required experience and skills.
Time-Frame: Realistic timelines and deadlines. Specialized equipment needed for the research.
Hazards/Potential Issues: Factors that may negatively affect the research.
Resources & Feasibility: Availability of data, sponsorship, and administrative cooperation
Costs & Return: Balancing expenditure and potential rewards.

Characteristics of Good Research Topic/Title

Clear, specific, attainable, relevant to the current needs, original, avoids harm to individuals or society, offers a problem-solving approach, and demonstrates objectivity and careful record-keeping.
Research titles need to be clear, comprehensive and impactful.

Sources of a Research Problem

Dissatisfaction with services / information
Breakthroughs in science & technology
Problems in classrooms/at work
Thrusts of specific organizations.

Mistakes in Writing a Research Paper

Common mistakes in research papers include issues with length, focus, question development, argument construction, referencing, and minor detail inclusion.

Concept Paper

A summary of a research proposal including project vision, scope, targets, timelines, milestones, and management methods.

A literature review examines existing research on a topic.
It should be relevant, focus on original materials, include similarities/differences with current research, and avoid duplication of existing work.
Literature reviews require a defined system of documentation and citation.

APA Style

A reference style guide for formatting scientific papers, including bibliography and in-text citations.

Work Citations by Different Authors

Citing correctly differs based on whether the work has one author, two authors, or more than two authors.
