DISCUSSION
• Research is a method of collecting, presenting,
organizing, classifying, analyzing and interpreting data
and transforming it into constructive results that seeks to
produce new sets of knowledge and practices. Moreover,
research usually starts with a question meant to be
analyzed systematically – that is, using the scientific
method – to come up with answers or solutions.
Definitions of Research
According to Patton (1990), four main types of research are
used for different purposes. These are:
Definitions of Research
• Evaluation Research (Summative and Formative) -
studies the processes and outcomes of a solution aimed
towards a specific problem.
a) Formative research seeks to improve human actions
regarding specific conditions on a specific problem.
b) Summative research focuses on judging the
effectiveness of a program, policy, or product (the
solution).
Applied Research
• Action Research - tries to solve problems within a
program, organization, or community. The researchers are
usually those within the program, organization, or
community, in contrast with other research types where
the researcher is usually outside of the phenomenon to be
studied.
Applied Research
• Brings new knowledge
• Clears issues
• Solves problems
• Trains one’s mind
• Assists human needs and wants, develops society, and
leads to progress
Importance of Research
• Systematic – follows a logically arranged steps and
chapters in writing a research
• Empirical – supported by evidence and relevant details
for each variable used in the study
• Clear – properly explain research variables
• Contextual - relevance of the study in the given field
• Ethical - follows the ethics of research

Kinds of Research
• Quantitative Research – deals with the analysis of a
given phenomenon. It analyzes attitudes, behaviors,
ideas, relationships, and/or attributes using statistical
tools. This type of study focuses on converting
perspectives, thoughts, and behaviors into statistical data.
Whereas qualitative research generates hypotheses, this
research paradigm tests hypotheses.
