Research is defined as a systematic process of searching for knowledge, which involves discovering new explanations and solving existing problems. It is crucial for establishing truth, improving quality of life, and exploring humanity, while also requiring characteristics such as being systematic, objective, feasible, empirical, and clear. The document also discusses qualitative research, emphasizing its naturalistic, purposeful, detailed, engaging, inductive, and holistic nature.

Etymologically, research came from “re” and

“search”. "Re" is a prefix that means


again and search is a word which means to
look for.

Therefore, research is to look for something.


There are two (2) things that we need to take
note of in this definition.

First, research is not only about the discovery


of something unknown, it is coming up with a
new explanation of something that is known.

Second, research is a process. It is a process


of searching for something to solve an
existing problem or difficulty to solve.
Research is also understood as a
systematic investigation or inquiry
entailing collection of data,
documentation of critical information,
analysis, interpretation of information
(Williams 2007). From the given definition,
this highlights the manner how research
is conducted. It is systematic.

On the other hand, research can be also


viewed as the formation of new
knowledge and the employment of
previous or existing knowledge into a new
and creative way.
(O’Donnell 2012).
IMPORTANCE OF
RESEARCH
IMPORTANCE OF RESEARCH

The research aims for truth. We


crave truth for no one has the
desire to live in lies
(Rasmussen 2013).

Research is about establishing


truth based on evidence or
data. We conduct a study to
seek for truth.
IMPORTANCE OF RESEARCH

Research improves the quality


of human life.
All of the technological
advancements are brought by
different researches (Gupta
2018). Without the people who
dedicated their lives for the
sake of humanity, we will not
have this kind of life.

Through research, it improves


our standard of living.
IMPORTANCE OF RESEARCH

Research saves a life.

Through the course of human


history, research has proven
its worth and roles in our lives.
IMPORTANCE OF RESEARCH
Research gathers the necessary information.
Conducting research implies gathering
necessary data to explain your problem and to
answer your particular questions for example,
you want to understand students’ perceptions
about modular learning, then, you conduct
survey to the projected respondents or direct
interviews
with the projected participants.

Thus, the content of the survey questionnaire


and the guided interview must aligned to the
your problem and to the questions that you like
to answer.

On this manner, you are gathering important


data needed for your
research.
IMPORTANCE OF RESEARCH

Research explores humanity.

Research likewise deals with the investigation


of culture to understand and to appreciate
others' practices, and beliefs (Zion and
Kozleski 2005).

The way we understand others is the result of


a long study of different individuals to provide
us explanations about group or individual
culture. Because of this, we can now related,
understand, and respect others.
CHARACTERISTICS
OF RESEARCH
CHARACTERISTICS OF
RESEARCH
Research should be systematic.
• The researcher needs to carry out a
series of interrelated steps in conducting
the study. Such procedure must follow a
well-planned, sequential and organized
structure from beginning to end.
• The research paper is divided into
macrosystem and microsystem. The
former refers to different chapters
labeled with main headings, while the
latter consists of various elements
detailing the contents of each part.
CHARACTERISTICS OF
RESEARCH

Research should be objective.


• The researcher needs to present
information that are purely based on
truths. It should always be anchored on
the factual basis in which the research
work is founded, thus being free from
any bias or personal opinion.
CHARACTERISTICS OF
RESEARCH

3. Research should be feasible.


• The researcher needs to consider the
possibility and practicality of conducting
the proposed study. All significant
factors like time, budget and access to
resources must be analyzed to
determine if the research can actually
be done.
CHARACTERISTICS OF
RESEARCH

Research should be empirical.


• The researcher needs to employ
appropriate methods, either
quantitatively or qualitatively, to produce
evidence-based information. They can be
drawn from concrete experimentation,
direct or indirect observation, and
verifiable experience.
CHARACTERISTICS OF
Research should be clear. RESEARCH
• The researcher needs to use
comprehensible language to present
information and convey explanation
throughout the research process. The
factors to be manipulated, measured or
described in the study, also known as
variables, must be clarified using
literature from published and
unpublished materials. They should be
explained well from the introductory part
of the research paper to ensure a deeper
understanding of the study to be
conducted.

PROCESS OF
RESEARCH
The Research Process

Research process is a systematic manner in which the researcher


approaches his/her area of study to produce knowledge that the
community will consider to be worthwhile within the field (Rao, 2017).
Understanding such process is an important step towards executing
any study.

The following table shows the five phases of the research process along
with their definition (Whittemore & Melkus, 2008).

QUANTITATIVE
RESEARCH
CHARACTERISTICS
OF QUALITATIVE
RESEARCH
CHARACTERISTICS OF
QUALITATIVE RESEARCH
1. Qualitative research is naturalistic.
A study to be conducted by the
researcher should be based on real-
life situations. Likewise, the
researcher should also unfold the
study in a natural manner, that is, the
findings are derived from the
analysis of authentic data gathered
from the participants. Such a concept
makes qualitative research known for
its non-controlling characteristic.
CHARACTERISTICS OF
QUALITATIVE RESEARCH
2. Qualitative research is purposeful.
In conducting a qualitative type of study, the
researcher should select the participants in a
purposive manner, that is, they will be selected
because they either have easy access to the
information needed or simply have the
knowledge to provide a great deal of
information needed to the study. Hence, these
participants are called “information rich” in the
context of research. This type of participant
selection will validate the concept that
qualitative study focuses on rich insights
regarding the phenomenon rather than on mere
numerical data simply obtained from surveys
and questionnaires.
CHARACTERISTICS OF
QUALITATIVE RESEARCH
3. Qualitative research is detailed. A
thick description of gathered data from
the participants makes this type of
study a detailed one. It is important
that the researcher should capture the
direct quotations of the responses of
the participant/s from the conducted
interview or observation.
CHARACTERISTICS OF
QUALITATIVE RESEARCH
4. Qualitative research requires
engagement and neutrality. Direct contact
with the people, situation, and
phenomenon under investigation should be
established by the researcher. Immersing
oneself would enable the researcher to
acquire personal experiences and insights
which are essential to better understand
the phenomenon. Further, the researcher
should also be neutral in the responses
and observations he/she may get while
engaging with the participant/s. The
researcher should likewise show
openness, sensitivity, and respect.
CHARACTERISTICS OF
QUALITATIVE RESEARCH
5. Qualitative research follows an
inductive procedure. As the researcher
immerses himself/herself in the
phenomenon under investigation, specific
details and data will be gathered from the
target participant/s. These data then can
be used to discover emerging patterns and
themes. Following an inductive procedure,
the researcher will start from exploring
the phenomenon and will end to
confirming findings of the works.
CHARACTERISTICS OF
QUALITATIVE RESEARCH
6. Qualitative research is viewed in a
holistic perspective. A study in a
qualitative type cannot be simply done in
a linear and cause and effect relationship
approach. Rather, it requires the
researcher to view the whole phenomenon
under investigation in a complex system,
that is, different variables can either
cause or effect the phenomenon.
