Research Reviewer Research - A systematic, objective, and comprehensive investigation of certain phenomenon which involves accurate gathering and recording, and critical analyses and interpretation of all facts about the phenomenon for theoretical or practical ends. Concepts of research: Repeated testing of what is known and what is observed. Examining what is known in the light and what i observed Systematic and scientific procedures are applied for Establishing verifiability, representatives and measurement Applying methods of collecting, analyzing and interpreting the data Reporting research results to the concerned parties Continuously reapplying the same process until the problem at hand is solved. Helping community practitioners determine what kind of information is useful for practical decisions. Characteristics Empirical - based on experience or observation by the researcher Logical - based on valid procedures and principles Cyclical - means that research is an ongoing process Analytical - involves the careful examination and interpretation of data using proven analytical methods to extract meaningful patterns, trends, and insights. Critical - involves making careful and precise judgments at every step of the research process(ensures validity in the research) Methodical - conducted systematically, following a structured and organized approach(ensures study is objective and free from bias) Replicability - research design and procedures are repeated to enable the researcher to arrive at valid and conclusive results. Reductive - individual events (data) are used to establish general relationships Employs quantitative - data are transformed into numerical measures and are treated statistically.(involves transforming data into numerical measures that can be statistically analyzed to identify patterns, relationships, and trends.) Controlled - all variables except those that are tested/experimented upon are kept constant. Values of Research RESEARCH IMPROVES QUALITY OF LIFE RESEARCH SATISFIES MAN’S NEEDS RESEARCH HAS DEEP-SEATED PSYCHOLOGICAL ASPECTS RESEARCH IMPROVES THE EXPORTATION OF FOOD PRODUCTS RESEARCH RESPONDS TO THE ECONOMIC RECOVERY AND AUSTERITY MEASURES OF THE COUNTRY RESEARCH TRAINS GRADUATES TO BECOME RESPONSIVE TO THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF THE COUNTRY AND COMPETE GLOBALLY. Types of Research according to the derived outcome / generated output / utility Fundamental - fundamental/basic/pure - Seeks to discover basic truth of principles - Focuses on advancement and production of new knowledge - Used by scientists and academicians - Example: Newton’s law of motion, Boyle’s law, Pythagorean Theorem Applied - Involves seeking new applications of scientific knowledge to the solution of a problem. - Produces knowledge of practical use to man - Example: Research on variants of rice for improved rice production Developmental - Decision oriented research involving the application of the steps of the scientific method in response to an immediate need to improve existing practices. - Usually involves drawing a solution to the problem Research according to setting Library Research - Research done in a library where answers to specific questions of the study are available Field Research - Research conducted or done in a natural setting. The researcher will observe and record data without changing any factors whatsoever. Laboratory Research - Research done in a laboratory in which the research is conducted in controlled conditions by isolating the study in an operated area. Types of Research according to methodology Non - Experimental/ Social - deals with descriptions of the relationship between factors. Experimental - participants are assigned to groups based on selected criterion after calling the treatment variable. Types of Non - experimental research: Descriptive research - characteristics of a present phenomenon Historical research - relates past events to one another or to current events Correlational Research - answers questions about the relationship among variables Case studies - to study comprehensively and intensively the background or current status of a given social unit. Experimental research - involves manipulating the research variables.
