Study Notes

Understanding Research Basics

Research is defined as a systematic, controlled, empirical, and critical investigation of hypothetical propositions about the presumed relations among natural phenomena (Kerlinger, 1992).
Research involves identifying possible solutions to complex problems.
Research seeks direction through hypotheses based on clear assumptions.
The goal of research is to discover new knowledge or to gain support for existing knowledge.
Research may involve observation, data gathering, analysis.

Philippine Constitution & Research

The Philippine Constitution prioritizes research, development, innovation, invention and their use in science and technology.
The Constitution mandates the State to support indigenous, appropriate, and self-reliant scientific and technological capabilities, and their application to the productive systems and national life.

Priority Discipline Clusters

Science & Mathematics
Education & Teacher Training
Health & Health Profession
Information & Communication Technology
Engineering, Maritime & Architecture
Agriculture
Environmental Science
Humanities
Social Sciences
Other disciplines (as identified by CHED)

Why Have a Research Subject?

Higher education curricula often incorporate research as a requirement for Bachelor's degrees.
Thesis writing is frequently a prerequisite for graduation in some programs.

Vital Components of the Research Process

Research Problem Formulation/Question & Design
Review of Related Literature

Three Types of Research

Pure/Basic Research
Original Research
Secondary Research

Pure/Basic Research

The goal of pure research is to advance knowledge, theories, and principles.
It does not focus on immediate economic or social benefit.

Original/Primary Research

Original research is discovering information that others haven't found before.
Types include: tests, observations, experiments, etc.
To begin original research, one must already understand what is known about the topic/subject.

Secondary Research

Secondary research involves gathering information discovered by others and analyzing it to draw new conclusions.
It is crucial to carefully reconcile conflicting viewpoints and conclusions by reconciling information from various related studies

What Research Is Not

Information gathering alone.
Simple transportation of facts from one place to another.
Merely rummaging for information.
A catchphrase to gain attention.

Criteria in Selecting a Research Problem/Topic

Novelty and avoidance of duplication
Importance to the field and immediate need for implementation
Interest, intellectual curiosity, and drive
Training and personal qualifications
Availability of data and feasibility of method
Special equipment and working conditions
Sponsorship and administrative cooperation
Costs and returns
Hazards, penalties, and handicaps
Time factor

Characteristics of a Good Research Topic/Title

Relevant to current needs
Within the researcher's interest and capabilities
Clear, specific, and attainable within a given timeframe
Avoids harm to people and society
Original and new
Provides information for planning, development, legislation, and theory formulation.
Avoids redundancy in titles.
Directed towards solutions to identified problems.
Supported by observable experience and accurate empirical evidence.
Requires expertise.
Strives to be objective and logical
Carefully recorded and reported.
Patient and unhurried, recognizing the need for time, courage, and effort

Creating a Research Working Title

Accurately indicates the subject and scope of the study.
Avoids abbreviations.
Uses words that create a positive impression and stimulate interest.
Employs current nomenclature from the field.
Identifies key variables (dependent and independent).
May reveal how the paper will be organized.
Suggests a relationship between variables that supports the major hypothesis.
Limits itself to 10 to 15 substantive words.
Avoids phrases like "study of," "analysis of."
Follows grammar and capitalization rules.
May be in the form of a phrase or a question, rarely an exclamation mark in a title or subtitle.

Sources of a Research Problem

Dissatisfaction with services or information.
Problems encountered in classrooms or the workplace
Breakthroughs in science and technology.
Research thrusts and priorities of organizations.
Misconceptions about culture (other things)
