**REVIEWER IN INQUIRIES, INVESTIGATION AND IMMERSION** (Midterm Examination) **What are Inquiries?** - Defines systematic research regarding information, truth, knowledge about a particular thing. Also, it is the process of problem solving through having analysis and probing. Inquiry involves such questioning and even interrogation. **What is Investigation?** - Pertains to the systematic examination to uncover some facts regarding some matters. And it is done carefully and thoroughly inspecting some details in a well-organized manner. It assesses points that are left exposed in the process. **What is Immersion?** - The researcher immerses themselves in culture on what they are studying or researching. The payoff immersion is when there is a usual immense regarding the researcher to gain more information or details than some other method. **What is Research?** - Is a process of systematic inquiry that entails collection of data; documentation of critical information; and analysis and interpretation of that data/information, in accordance with suitable methodologies set by specific professional fields and academic disciplines. **Quantitative Research** - Finds the answer to an inquiry by compiling numerical evidence. It counts and classifies components and creates statistical models to explain what is observed**.** According to Kelinger (cited in Kumar, 2011), a **Research Design** is a plan, structure, and strategy of investigation so conceived as to obtain answers to research questions/problems or objectives. It describes the procedures for conducting the study, including when, from whom, and under what conditions the data will be obtained. **Respondents** - Are those individuals who complete a survey or interview for the researcher, or who provide data to be analyzed for the research study. - Respondents can be any age, but determined by the scope of the study, and must agree to informed consent to participate. - Respondents can withdraw from a study at any point, and the data may or may not be used. - Respondents can also be referred to as participants. A number of factors need to be taken into consideration when selecting participants, including availability, ethics, and the setting in which they will respond. **Sampling Technique** - It is the selection of a subset of the population from a larger group with shared characteristics. - At some point in your journey of academic career, you may have to conduct primary research, getting you to take the opinion of a target population in the process of investigating a research question. **Research Locale** - This section explains the location of the study, sometimes called the setting. It offers the concise location of the research that is being carried out. **Instrumentation** - This section describes the unique type of research instrument adopted or adapted from the author or other sources, such as the questionnaire, checklist, questionnaire-checklists, structured interview, teacher made test, and standardized instrument. ***Validity -*** is the extent to which an instrument measures what it is supposed to measure and performs as it is designed to perform. It is rare, if nearly impossible, that an instrument be 100% valid, so validity is generally measured in degrees. As a process, validation involves collecting and analyzing data to assess the accuracy of an instrument. ***Reliability** -* can be thought of as consistency. Does the instrument consistently measure what it is intended to measure? It is not possible to calculate reliability; however, there are four general estimators that you may encounter in reading research: **Data Gathering Procedure** - It is the process of gathering and measuring information on variables of interest, in an established systematic fashion that enables one to answer stated research questions, test hypotheses, and evaluate outcomes. **Statistical Treatment-** is the process of systematically applying statistical and/or logical techniques to describe and illustrate, condense and recap, and evaluate data. **PARTS OF PRELIMINARY PAGES** Title Page Approval Sheet Abstract Acknowledgment Dedication Table of Contents List of Figure List of Tables Appendices **PARTS OF CHAPTER 1-2** Introduction Theoretical Framework Conceptual Framework Statement of the Problem Scope and Limitation of the Study Significance of the Study Definition of Terms Review of Related Literature and Studies **PARTS OF CHAPTER 3-5** Research Design Respondents of the Study Sampling Procedure/Technique Instrumentation Reliability/Validity of the Study Data Gathering Procedure Statistical Treatment Presentation, Analysis and Interpretation of Data Summary of Findings Conclusion Recommendation References Curriculum Vitae
