LESSON 1- INTRODUCTION TO 3Is and RESEARCH

INQUIRY
 "Inquiry is the active pursuit of meaning involving thought processes that change
experience to bits of knowledge.
 When we see a strange object, for example, we may be puzzled about what it is, what it is
made of, what it is used for, how it came into being, and so forth.
 To find answers to questions such as these we might examine the object closely, subject
it to certain tests, compare it with other, more familiar objects, or ask people about it,
and for a time our searching would be aimed at finding out whether any of these
theories made sense.
 Often used as a tool for constructivism.
 A seeking for truth, information, or knowledge by questioning.
 Emphasis on the development of inquiry skills and the nurturing of inquiring attitudes or
habits of mind.
 Implementing inquiry into the classroom involves a context for questions, a framework for
questions, a focus for questions, and different levels of questions.
INVESTIGATION
 A term that means to examine and to look at carefully, discover the factor make a legal
inquiry.
 A searching into, a searching for,“something
 From the term investigare meaning "to trace out, search after,“
 From vestigium "a footprint, a track" (see vestige).

Importance of Investigation
• Promotes consistency/transparency in investigations.
• Provides for a timely and organized response to potential problems.
• Reduces inefficiencies and helps maintain the integrity of the problems in a community
Launching an Investigation
• Mobilize investigative team, as outlined in the institutional investigative policy.
• Review roles and responsibilities.
• Identify issues and applicable solutions
• Consult with experts
• Investigate violation(s).
• Two main investigative tools:
• Document Requests
• Interviews
• Gathering documentation in relation to timing of interviews.
IMMERSION
 This is instruction based on extensive exposure to surroundings or conditions that are
native or pertinent to the object of study
 The main task of Immersion is to guide students to connect with the content and to
discover interesting ideas to explore further.
 Learners are guided to think about what they already know and what seems particularly
interesting, curious, surprising, or troubling.
 As they build background knowledge, students reflect on ideas that matter to them and
are worth further investigation.
Purposes of this Subject:
• Safety Education
• Career Choice
• Human Development

A. SAFETY EDUCATION
• This refers to the kinds of choices we make individually.
• It concerns with the knowledge, attitudes, and skills which can change the risks related
with injury.
B. HUMAN DEVELOPMENT
 This is about giving people the chance to evaluate opportunities for growth.
C. CAREER CHOICE
• This is considering and evaluating picks for discovering one’s interest to pursue a chance
for development

BRAINSTORMING
• Sharing of ideas as a group based on what you have seen, what you think should be
implemented…
• Cooperative activity
TOPIC
• Anchored to the strand
• Relevant to prospect course
• Something new

Scientific Research is a composed of two words, “re”and ‘search”

What is a research?
• “re” is a prefix meaning again, anew or over again and search is a verb meaning to
examine closely and carefully, to test and try, or to probe or to study thoroughly.
Together they form a noun describing a careful, systematic, patient study and
investigation in some field of knowledge, undertaken to establish fats or principles.
• In research there are 5 Chapters and 23 components

Skills in Research READING; OBSERVING; PRESENTING/COMMUNICATING;

LISTENING; WATCHING; CHOOSING; QUESTIONING; SUMMARIZING;
ORGANIZING; WRITING;

QUESTIONS FOR DISCUSSIONS

• Why have I decided to do some research?
• How can I remain interested in my research?
 • What skills and experience do I have which might help in my research?

THEFIVE‘WS’
• When you start to think about your research project, a useful way of remembering
the important questions to ask is to think of the five ‘Ws’:
 X What? What is your research? This question needs to be answered as
specifically as possible
 X Why? Why do you want to do the research? What is its purpose?
 X Who? Who will be your participants? (who will take part in research or who
will be called participants or respondents.)
 X Where? Where are you going to conduct your research?
 X When? When are you going to do your research?

The major sources of knowledge according to Ary, Jacobs, and Razavieh

• EXPERIENCE
Experience is a familiar and well-used source of knowledge, the most free, by
personal experience. You can find the answer to many of the questions you face.
• AUTHORITY
For things difficult or possible to know by personal experience, people frequency
turn to authority that is, they seek knowledge from someone who has had an experience
with the problem or has some other source of expertise. People accept the world of
recognized authorized authorities.
• DEDUCTIVE REASONING
A thinking process in which you process from general to specific statement using
prescribed rules of logic
• INDUCTIVE REASONING
Approached to knowing. Knowledge required that the thinker observe nature
itself, gather particular facts and formulate generalizations from these findings
• SCIENTIFIC APPROACH
The used of both deductive and inductive reasoning is characteristics of modern
scientific inquiry
• RESEARCH CAN BE CLASSIFIED TO DIFFERENT CATEGORIES. THEY MAY
BE GROUPED ACCORDING TO;
ACCORDING TO IMPORTANCE, RESEARCH IS A BASIC OR APPLIED
• Basic research is designed to advance knowledge with no application to existing
problems in view.( Learning more about a phenomena)
• Applied research survey research or marketing research, this is the art and science
of systematically asking questions and observing behavior to obtain information
from a population of interest.
ACCORDING TO METHOD
• Qualitative research- Explores attitudes, behavior and experiences through such
methods as interviews or focus groups
• Quantitative research - Generates statistics through the use of large-scale survey
research, using methods such as questionnaires or structured interviews
ACCORDING TO PROCESS
• PURE RESEARCH
• APPLIED RESEARCH
• ACTION RESEARCH
 ACCORDING TO PURPOSE
Analytical – a research that uses evidence to analyze the different facets or sides of an
issue
Argumentative – one that uses evidence to attempt to convince the reader of a particular
stance or view
Exploratory – hardly anything known is about the matter at the ourset of the project.

ACCORDING TO LOCALE
Library research – where answer to specific questions or problems of the study are
available.
Field research – conducted in a natural way setting. No changes are made in the
environment.
Laboratory research – conducted in artficialor controlled conditionsby isolating the
study inrigorously specified and operationalized area

CHARACTERISTICS OF RESEARCH
• EMPIRICAL- is based on direct experience or observation by the researcher
• LOGICAL- is based on valid procedure and principles
• CYCLICAL- it starts with a problem and ends with a problem
• ANALYTICAL – research utilized proven analytical procedures in gathering the data,
whether historical, descriptive, experimental or case study
• REPLICABILITY – design and procedures are replicated to enable the researcher to
arrive at valid and conclusive results.
• CRITICAL – research exhibits careful and precise judgement

GOOD CHARACTERISTICS OF A RESEARCHERS

 INTELLECTUAL CURIOSITY
 PRUDENCE
 HEALTHY CRITICISM
 INTELLECTUAL HONESTY

CODE OF ETHICS
• Once you have been open and honest about what you are doing and people have agreed to
take part in the research, it is useful to provide them with a Code of Ethics. The best time
to do this is just before they take part in a focus group or interview, or just before they fill
in your questionnaire.

SUMMARY
• Our research would not be possible without the help and co-operation of other people. If
we expect people to continue helping us, we should treat them with honesty and respect.
• Disruption to a participant’s life should be kept to a minimum.
• False hopes or expectations should not be raised.
• Confidential or anonymous data does not enjoy legal privilege.
