    Study Notes

    Unit 1: Nature of Research, Lesson 2: Research Process and Ethics

    • The research process is highly systematic and organized.
    • Research has specific characteristics, which differ from typical investigations.
    • Researchers must carefully follow standard steps to complete research effectively.
    • The characteristics of research, the steps of the research process, and ethical principles will be discussed.

    Objectives

    • Students should be able to identify the characteristics of research.
    • Students should be able to list the steps involved in the research process.
    • Students should be able to explain the importance of research ethics.

    DepEd Competency

    • Describe the characteristics, processes, and ethics of research. (CS_RS11-Illa-3)

    Explore (Activity)

    • Students should work with a partner to develop an outline for answering specific research questions, based on given sample problems.
    • Examples of research problems include:
      • Reasons for lower student performance in rural areas compared to urban areas.
      • Vegetable preferences of nursery students in Metro Manila.
      • Effects of banana peels on tomato seed growth.
    • Students should use guide questions to discuss their answers with their partner.

    Explain and Elaborate: Characteristics of Research

    • Research must be controlled and manipulated to yield valid results, extraneous variables must not influence outcome.
    • Research must be rigorous and follow specific procedures to ensure the validity of the results and comply with research ethics.
    • Research must be systematic, with a structured plan containing step-by-step procedures.

    Research Process (Steps)

    • Identify the general study area.
    • Choose a research topic
    • Formulate plans and methodology
    • Collect data
    • Analyze and interpret data
    • Write a conclusion
    • Share the publication

    Valid and Empirical Research

    • Research must use valid data and results that can be verified by others.
    • Research should rely on hard evidence collected through observation or real-life experiences.

    Research Proposal

    • The first phase of the research process.
    • Researchers identify the research problem.
    • Steps include identifying the general study area, choosing a research topic and formulating plans and methodology.

    Methodology Plans

    • Detailing the methods, procedures, and techniques used to gather and analyze data.
    • Includes considerations of schedule, budget, and feasibility of the research.

    Research Activities

    • Includes all procedures needed for data collection and analysis.
    • Data collection is essential for determining the conclusions.
    • Several methods of data collection (surveys, interviews etc.) may be used.

    Data Analysis

    • Extracts necessary information from data to address research questions.
    • Can involve statistical methods or theme derivation from gathered data.

    Written Content

    • Consolidating information from data analysis.
    • Includes a conclusion that directly answers the research questions posed at the start of the project.

    Sharing the Publication

    • Presenting research findings in the form of posters or oral presentations.
    • Publishing research in journals or other media platforms.

    Research Process is a Cycle

    • The research process continues even after initial publications, as results can be improved or modified with future research.

    Principles of Research Ethics

    • Honesty: Researchers must present information honestly, without falsifying or distorting data.
    • Objectivity: Removing bias in all research stages; data should not be altered.
    • Prudence: Careful evaluation of work; sharing of findings.
    • Responsible Publication: Sharing research findings and contributions with others.
    • Confidentiality: Protecting the identities of individuals involved in research, especially participants.
    • Respect for Intellectual Property: Respecting patents, copyrights, etc. and avoiding plagiarism.
    • Social Responsibility: Conducting research that benefits society.
    • Anti-discrimination: Avoiding bias or discrimination towards any individual or group based on various factors (gender, race, etc).

    Activity 1 (Extend):

    • Applying ethical principles in research scenarios as a student researcher.
