Applying for a College Admission Test Complete the flowchart below with the things you should do. You may use keywords or phrase. What is the difference between Inquiry and Research?  INQUIRY AND RESEARCH Inquiry refers to the process of knowing particular information from various sources by applying various methods. Research, meanwhile, is the careful examination of a particular fact by looking into the evidence needed to clarify concepts. Let’s try! 1. Writing the procedures for writing a research paper 2. Analyzing the strategies used by teachers in teaching research 3. Asking from the LTO the list of requirements to get a driver’s license 4. Finding the problems encountered by students during Math class 5. Determining the factors affecting the choice of people in the market  FEATURES OF A QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH It aims to find out facts and examine hypotheses through numerical data This type of research entails a large number of respondents This is suitable when making generalizations It presents statistical results SEVERAL SKILLS IN RESEARCH WRITING Reading Choosing Observation Questioning Communication Summarization Listening Organization Watching Writing  GUIDE QUESTIONS IN COMPLETING THE STEPS IN RESEARCH Why am I doing research? What will continuously motivate me to do research? What are the needed skills for me to become a successful researcher? Why do I have to experience research?  5 W’s WHEN CONCEPTUALIZING THE RESEARCH WHAT questions pertain to your research itself WHY questions refer to your purpose in doing the research WHO questions refer to your participants WHERE questions refer to where will you conduct the study  SOURCES OF KNOWLEDGE IN RESEARCH  Experiences – this pertains to your previous involvements. If you have been into similar situations, then these are good sources of your knowledge in research. SOURCES OF KNOWLEDGE IN RESEARCH  Authority – you may ask experts in the field some questions regarding your topic. SOURCES OF KNOWLEDGE IN RESEARCH  Deductive Reasoning – this process starts with a general idea being broken down into specifics by applying rules of logic. SOURCES OF KNOWLEDGE IN RESEARCH  Inductive Reasoning – this involves gathering existing data to be used as a basis for generalizations. SOURCES OF KNOWLEDGE IN RESEARCH  Scientific Approach – deductive and inductive reasoning are combined to come up with a logical conclusion. TYPES OF RESEARCH ACCORDING TO IMPORTANCE 1. Basic Research is learning a certain phenomenon. This is designed to merely advance the body of knowledge with no direct application. 2. Applied Research involves systematic gathering of data, and the results will be applied in various fields. TYPES OF RESEARCH ACCORDING TO METHOD 1. Qualitative Research mostly talks about behaviors and experiences of focus groups using non-numeric data. 2. Quantitative Research generates results by applying numerical data and is focused on a wider populace. TYPES OF RESEARCH ACCORDING TO PROCESS 1. Pure Research is looking into certain phenomena. 2. Applied Research involves conducting a study, and then the results will be applied directly to real-life situations. 3. Action Research examines a particular problem and then provides a solution to it and tests its effectivity through research. TYPES OF RESEARCH ACCORDING TO PURPOSE 1. Analytical Research makes use of evidence from various sources 2. Argumentative Research makes use of evidence based on a stance or point of view 3. Exploratory Research includes doing a series of experimentations for testing TYPES OF RESEARCH ACCORDING TO LOCALE 1. Library Research includes resources found in different learning content from the sections of the library 2. Field Research involves conducting research in a very natural environment without modifying anything. 3. Laboratory Research includes artificial and controlled conditions. For you to produce good research, you need to consider the following characteristics:  Empirical – research is based on clear observations  Logical – research collection follows certain data  Cyclical – research continues to seek answers to certain problems For you to produce good research, you need to consider the following characteristics:  Analytical – the provision of analytical procedures is very important  Replicability – design and procedures are replicated to enable the researcher to arrive at valid and conclusive results For you to produce good research, you need to consider the following characteristics:  Critical – researcher exhibits careful and precise judgment  CODE OF ETHICS IN RESEARCH 1. The conduct of the research should not cause any disruption. 2. Expectations from the participants should be clearly explained. 3. Confidentiality and anonymity of data must be taken into consideration. 4. The right to privacy and confidentiality must be observed most of the time.  STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES OF QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH STRENGTH WEAKNESSES  It allows for broader study.  Data may fail to notice  It allows for great objectives. contextual points.  Well-established standards are  It employs rigid discovery. applied.  Fake representation may be  It summarizes vast experiences. present.  Personal bias can be avoided  Results offer less detail in with the presence of numerical qualitative data. data.  Superficial results may come out of the research.  KEY FEATURES OF THE IMRAD FORMAT 1. Thesis can be condensed through this method. 2. Language should be plain, short, and concise. 3. Personal views and creative language are not allowed in this form. CONTENT AND INFORMATION OF THE IMRAD FORMAT  Introduction. It summarizes the entire study. It contains the following:  a summary of existing research on the subject;  thesis statement, hypothesis, or research questions  Theory (if relevant) and;  An introduction to the field, the current situation, or to prevailing practice. CONTENT AND INFORMATION OF THE IMRAD FORMAT  Methodology. It discusses what particular design is employed to obtain the data that will lead to the attainment of research objectives. It also provides an explanation of the research design and intervention. CONTENT AND INFORMATION OF THE IMRAD FORMAT  Results. This part is devoted to presenting the findings of the study, whether in tabular or graphic form. It is considered as the essence of the paper. CONTENT AND INFORMATION OF THE IMRAD FORMAT  Discussion. It includes the analysis and interpretation of the results and determines the strong points and weak points of the paper. It also explains the implications of the paper and provides conclusions and recommendations. LET’S RECAP! Activity #1 Create a graphic organizer using the specific parts of the IMRAD format. Place the organizer in the box. Performance Task #1 Present your previous research paper to the class.
