Welcome to my in Research class II by Junel L. Corpuz, Master Teacher II Is research a science? or Is science a research? Q UA RT E R 1 NATURE AND CHARACTERISTI CS OF RESEARCH Content Overview 01 02 03 Research defined Types of Purposes of Research Research  1 2 3 4 W H AT I S R E S E A R C H ? Why we do research? 1 Generating New Knowledge 2 Finding Applications Research contributes to the growth of Research also aims to find science by obtaining new knowledge applications for new knowledge, and information in various disciplines. creating further advancements. 3 Verifying Existing Knowledge4 Developing the Investigator Researchers use advanced techniques Research provides opportunities for to verify previous findings and facts. creativity, learning, and making original contributions to scientific knowledge.  Types of Researc Fundamental/Basic ResearchApplied Research Quantitative vs. Qualitative Fundamental research is Applied research seeks to Quantitative research is experimental and solve practical problems numerical and statistical, theoretical work and develop innovative while qualitative research is undertaken to acquire new technologies. It is focused descriptive and explores the knowledge without a on finding solutions to why and how of decision- specific application in mind. everyday issues and making. It is driven by a scientist's improving existing curiosity and interest in a processes. scientific question. Examples of Basic Research 1 Exploring the origins of the universe Astrophysicists study the Big Bang theory and the fundamental forces that govern the cosmos. 2 Investigating the human genome Geneticists map the complete set of human DNA to understand the genetic basis of life. 3 Studying animal behavior and cognition Ethologists observe and analyze the complex social interactions and decision-making processes of various species. Examples of Applied Resea Developing COVID-19 Vaccines Researchers rapidly tested and optimized vaccine candidates to provide protection against the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Advancing Robotic Surgery Engineers have developed more precise, minimally invasive surgical robots to improve patient outcomes. Developing a new cancer treatment Researchers test various drug compounds to find an effective therapy that can be brought to market. Improving energy efficiency in buildings Engineers design and test new materials and systems to reduce energy consumption in homes and offices. K e y D i ff e r e n c e s 1 Purpose Applied research is driven by practical needs, while basic research is driven by curiosity. 2 Approach Applied research is more focused and targeted, while basic research is more open-ended and exploratory. 3 Timelines Applied research typically has shorter timeframes, while basic research can take years or decades. 4 Funding Applied research is often funded by private companies or government agencies, while basic research relies more on public funding. The Interdependence of Applied and Basic Research Applied Research Basic Research Solves real-world problems Advances fundamental knowledge Drives innovation and Provides the scientific commercialization foundation for applied research Responds to immediate Explores the unknown needs and demands and uncovers new possibilities In the end, both applied and basic research are essential for scientific progress and technological advancement. They work together in a symbiotic relationship, each complementing and informing the other. Characteristics of Research Purposes of Research Exploratory Investigates an area or issue on which little previous work has been carried out. Descriptive Gathers information that illuminates relationships, patterns, and links between variables. Explanatory Aims to show why relationships, patterns, and links occur. Purposes of Research (cont.) Speculative Researchers take account of current situations and speculate as to their future implications. Predictive Develops a model that predicts the likely course of events given particular intervening variables or circumstances. Evaluative Evaluates the impact of something, such as a new policy, event, law, treatment regime, or the introduction of a new system. Qualities of a Good Research Intellectual Curiosity Prudence Intellectual Creativity Intellectual Honesty The researcher The researcher is The researcher The researcher is undertakes deep careful to conduct enjoys inventing honest in collecting thinking and inquiry their study at the unique, novel, and and gathering data of the things, right time and place, original research, and to arrive at honest problems, and wisely, efficiently, considers it a hobby. results. situations around and economically.
