CHAPTER 1
Introduction
Necessity is the root of all inventions. Those inventions were mad
through the help of research. Without research human being will never have the
answers and solutions for the basic needs and wants of human kind as well as
environment. Research needs to be accurate and reliable. It serves as a guide
for inventions. But what will happen if people do not have the capabilities to do a
good and effective research? In this generation, teenagers are still not prepared
to conduct their own research. They always think twice whether they are
knowledgeable enough or capable to conduct a research to help the society.
What would be the effect if they are incapable or unequipped to make a
research? Instead of providing answers, they will just worsen the situation and
affect other factors. We all know that research investigates systematically. It is a
systematic investigation into a study of materials and sources in order to
establish facts and reach new conclusions. Research capabilities enhances and
provides an opportunity for students to gain mastery of and advanced body of
knowledge and advanced research skills in areas of research practice which
have been identified as relevant to their research project but are not covered
elsewhere in the year one program. Capability is a power or an ability of a
student to have a level of independence and flexibility on negotiating with the
academic supervisor how they evidence their learning.
1
The purpose of research is to inform action. Thus, your study should seek
to contextualize its findings within the larger body of research. Research must
always be of high quality in order to produce knowledge that is applicable outside
of the research setting. Furthermore, the results of your study may have
implications for policy and future project implementation.
One problem that often plagues progress in global health is the slow
translation of research into practice. Often, a disconnection exists between those
who conduct research and those who are positioned to implement the research
findings. The underlying problem is that the production of evidence is organized
institutionally with highly centralized mechanisms, whereas the application of that
science is highly decentralized. This social distance prevails because scientists
are more oriented to the international audiences of other scientists for which they
publish than to the needs of practitioners, policy makers, or the local public.
Thus, as researchers, it is imperative to take steps to overcome this
barrier. Publishing your study may be one initial step to make your research
known to the global community. Other proactive measures can be taken to
encourage the uptake of evidence-based interventions. For example, you can
present your research findings at various venues, such as Unite for Sight’s
Global Health and Innovation Conference. Furthermore, you can send the results
of your study to local officials, policy-makers, and community leaders.
2
There are relatively few published studies about eye care in developing
countries, and Unite for Sight encourages all volunteers to consider developing a
research study to contribute important knowledge to the eye care community on
a global scale. Pursuing a research project will be a challenging and rewarding
experience, and this opportunity enables you to pursue an in-depth original study
about a topic of interest. Well-conducted research is vital to the success of global
heath endeavors. Not only does research form the foundation of program
development and policies all over the world, but it can also be translated into
effective global health programs. Research draws its power from the fact that it is
empirical: rather than merely theorizing about what might be effective or what
could work, researchers go out into the field and design studies that give
policymakers hard data on which they can base their decisions. Furthermore,
good research utilizes methodologies that can be replicated, produces results
that are examinable by peers, and creates knowledge that can be applied to real-
world situations. Researchers work as a team to enhance our knowledge of how
to best address the world’s problems (unite for sight, 2009).

In view of the paucity of research in Philippine higher education institutions
(HEIs), the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) has provided policies and
mandates that are largely geared towards the improvement of research
productivity. The HEIs in the country have responded in varied ways to the call
for a stronger research orientation among the universities. In this context, this
paper aimed at understanding the prevailing research culture in Philippine HEIs,
as viewed by the university faculty. A conceptual framework of research culture
was developed in order to analyze the dynamics of the interaction of the policies
and mandates of the CHED, the practices of HEIs in relation to developing a
research orientation in their institutions, and the perspectives of faculty who are
tasked to do research along with their other functions (i.e., teaching and
community service). Forty faculty members from 14 universities and colleges in
the country responded to a survey questionnaire and 10 were interviewed using
open-ended questions. The study found that the faculty did not consider any of
the aspects of research culture in their institutions as being strong. They deemed
the following indicators of research culture as present only to a moderate extent:
(a) the impact of research, (b) administrative practices, (c) inter-institutional
collaboration, (d) institutional research strategy, (e) financial reward system, (f)
infrastructure, (g) the presence of ethical policies, and (h) the availability of
research funding. The faculty further perceive that factors necessary for
improving research productivity include: time, strong belief in research endeavor,
faculty involvement, positive group climate, working conditions and organizational
communication, decentralized research policy, research funding, and clear
4
institutional policy for research benefits and incentives. As a result of these
findings, the study recommends that developing a research culture should take
into account the dynamics of the interaction of the trifocal function of HEIs, the
researcher's mind, and the body of institutional policy (Clemena, 2018).
In Davao City, Philippines, a key official from Mindanao underscored the
importance of investing in research and development to improve the
competitiveness of ASEAN economies in pursuit of the objectives of the ASEAN
Economic Community (AEC).
At the recently concluded 5th International Conference on Public Organization
(ICONPO) held at the Ateneo de Davao University, Undersecretary Janet Lopoz,
executive director of the Mindanao Development Authority (MinDA) said there is
strong correlation between the growth and level of economic maturity of economies
in ASEAN and their investments in research and development and innovation.
Undersecretary Janet Lopoz also stated that based on studies conducted by
the Asian Development Bank and the Japan International Cooperation Agency,
research and development play major roles in the creation of development plans
that will drive the growth among ASEAN economies.
Lopoz also stated that research and development will lead to innovations that
will improve the implementation of strategies in infrastructure and investments.
5
Lopoz added that we should look into how research and our teachings can
trigger more innovation so that we can increase productivity and improve economic
opportunities for the larger part of the population.
In a bid to boost research and development in Mindanao, MinDA established
the Mindanao Knowledge, Research and Policy Center, which is a network of the
pool of knowledge and information from the island's higher education institutions
(HEIs), research institutions, training institutions, and service providers.
Lopoz stated the context is that we now have to empower the HEIs and research
institutions in building their capacities to prepare human resources and bridge the
gap between industry, research institutions, and academe.
Lopoz said the network is established with the aim to trigger more innovative
ideas and researches that will power the industries and economies of Mindanao
(Mindanao Development Authority,2014).

Rationale of the Study
The researchers chose this study of the “Capabilities of the senior high school
students in SPCT towards Research”. The researchers chose this study because
they are interested to know how well the senior high school students in terms of
conducting a research are. They chose the senior high school students as the
respondents in the research because they are more experienced in calculations.
They are better in handling in hard and difficult subjects especially research.
The researchers decided to conduct this Non-Experimental Research in order to
know the capacity and the ability of the Senior high school Student’s in doing their
research correctly through giving survey guides. The researchers searched
thoroughly in order to get the correct information.
The students can benefit this research because it will motivate them to give their
best in doing research. It can provide an action or response on whatever their
performance is in research.

Review of Related Literature
In this Chapter, the researchers discussed the related literature in their
research. They included the following themes: purpose of research, awareness
towards research and complications of research.
Purpose of Research
As we already apprehend, there are several reasons why research is
completed. But, what are its purposes? Why trouble with all the various designs,
techniques, experiments and measurements? Why did the
primary sailors, those before Columbus and Ferdinand Magellan, get on their very
little canoes and paddle out? Humans naturally explore the planet around
them, eager to find out about the planet we've labeled Earth. Why did medical
practitioner and anatomist examine and write the maladies of man? The
necessity to explain and perceive our world is found in even the youngest youths.
Why did we tend to develop a complete cluster of sciences to grasp humans? As a
result of what sensible is being human if you can't justify why we tend to do one
thing. The aim of scientific discipline is to explore, to explain and to clarify on what
someone thinks, feels and acts (Kowalczyk, 2018).
10
The purpose of analysis or research are often an advanced issue and
varies across completely different scientific fields and disciplines. Making an
attempt to grasp however the universe operates. Its concern is to look
for what's already there with none bigger purpose of analysis than the reason itself.
It is an immediate descendent of philosophy, wherever philosophers and
scientists try and perceive the underlying principles of existence (Shuttleworth,
2008).
There are six functions of research. First, it generates new information wherein
research provides new knowledge and intelligence to its informants. Second is to
Review and manufacture existing information, research helps in reviewing and
manufacturing existing information in order to prove whether a certain problem or
issue is a fact in order to prove it that it really does exist or just made up. Research
function is also about Constructing and creating new procedures and systems
because through conducting research you can come up new ways in order to solve
a problem since you had already encountered it. Research also make a case
for new development, you find new issues which is not commonly tackled in your
community and you conduct research about it in order to have a development
about it or to solve it. Second to the last, research Investigate existing situations
and issues. Lastly, research offer solutions, suggestions and recommendation
to drawback after having a conclusion and after conducting research (Abdilahi,
2015).
Definition of research is outlined as a careful thought of study relating to a
11
selected concern or problem.
According to the American social scientist Earl Henry M. Robert Babbie,
“Research could be a systematic inquiry to explain, predict and manage
development. Research involves inductive and deductive strategies.” Inductive
research analyzes the ascertained development whereas, deductive strategies
verify the ascertained development. Measure a lot of unremarkably related
to quantitative analysis. One of all the foremost vital aspects of research is
the statistics related to it, conclusion or result which is regarding the “thought” that
goes behind the analysis. Research is conducted with a purpose to understand:
For example, what do organizations or businesses really need to search out? *
What square measure the processes that require to be followed to chase thought
or the concept What square measure of arguments that require to
be engineered around a concept? What’s the proof which will be needed that folks
believe the idea or concept? Reasons that may drive one to appreciate research
and engage in it. First, Research is a tool for Building Knowledge and Efficient
Learning Research is required not just for students and academics, but for all
professionals. It is also important for budding and veteran writers, both offline and
online. The Brain Research Trust acknowledges the importance of research.
Undoubtedly, it is crucial to finding possible cures for diseases, as well as how to
prevent them.
12
Thus, research becomes a must to ascertain if one’s ideas are supported by
previous studies or if these ideas still need proof to be considered as knowledge. A
myriad of research ideas likewise awaits the attention of avid scholars and
inquisitive writers. Indeed, research is instrumental in building and improving
knowledge, as well as in facilitating learning. Next is that Research means to
Understand Various Issues, Television shows and movies ooze with research -
both on the part of the writer(s) and the actors. Though there are hosts who rely on
their researchers, there are also those who exert effort to do their own research.
This helps them get information that hired researchers missed, build a good
rapport with the interviewee, and conduct a good interview in the process. As what
Terry Freedman says in "The Importance of Research for ICT Teachers" (2011):
"Research can shed light on issues we didn’t even know existed, and can raise
questions we hadn’t realized even needed asking." Thus, almost all writers of
imaginary and non-fictive tales also do research, for doing so helps them create a
good story and/or achieve strong credibility as an academic. The Role of Research
is to fuel Market Economies. Research and development (R&D) plays a crucial role
in business success and in a thriving national economy. Research is also an Aid to
Business Success, research benefits business. Many successful companies, such
as those producing consumer goods or mass-market items, invest in research and
development because it is critical to product innovation and to improving services.
13
Research also helps secure a vantage point over competitors. Finding out
how to make things happen and what could differentiate them from others that offer
similar products and services can raise the company’s market value. Certainly,
having relevant knowledge in achieving a good commercial image through sound
business strategies like investing in research can boost its profitability. Research is
a way to Prove Lies and to Support Truths, Scientists also deal with research to
test the validity and reliability of their claims or those of other scientists'. Their
integrity and competence depend on the quality - and not just quantity - of their
research. Nonetheless, not everything scientists come up with get accepted or
learned by everyone, especially when factors like religion, state suppression, and
access to resources and social services. With the use of internet technology and
social media, pseudo journalism has become a social concern. Fake news took
center stage during the 2016 presidential campaign period in the United States.
For instance, Snopes.com, a rumor research site, debunked the following "scoops"
posted online: Fact-checking to know the truth is integral to the process of
research, for it is fueled by an inquisitive and critical mind. Murray, Social News
and UGC Hub (2016) suggest that before news readers share information on social
media, they need to assess the integrity of the news source and check for similar
news on legitimate media outlets. Genuine journalists do not rely on imagination for
their news reports nor do they avoid doing research. They eschew propaganda and
have no intention of misleading the public. They are messengers of truth, not lies.
Make Reading Books a Habit, Even with the Internet, reading books remains
important to doing research. A Seed to Love Reading,
14
Writing, Analyzing, and Sharing Valuable Information. Research entails both
reading and writing. These two literacy functions help enable computation and
comprehension. Without these skills, it is less likely for anyone to appreciate and
get involved in research. Reading opens the mind to a vast horizon of knowledge,
while writing helps a reader use her/his own perspective and transform this into a
more concrete idea that s/he understands. Next is that it’s a Nourishment and
Exercise for the Mind, Curiosity may kill not just the cat, but the human as well.
Yet, it is the same curiosity that fuels the mind to seek for answers. Several studies
have shown that mentally stimulating activities like doing research can contribute to
brain health. In "Educating the Brain to Avoid Dementia: Can Mental Exercise
Prevent Alzheimer Disease?", Margaret Gatz (2005) enumerated research findings
that support such position. However, she also noted that there may be other
factors involved in averting said mental problem. One of these is intelligence. A
study involving 11 year-old pupils in Scotland in 2000, for instance, pointed to
intelligence quotient (IQ) scores as "predictive of future dementia risk". Gatz opined
that clinical trials are needed and that "conclusions must be based on large
samples, followed over a long period of time." She further posited:"...we have little
evidence that mental practice will help prevent the development of dementia. We
have better evidence that good brain health is multiply determined, that brain
development early in life matters, and that genetic influences are of great
importance in accounting for individual differences in cognitive reserve and in
explaining who develops Alzheimer disease and who does not...Indeed, research
and doing research encourage people to explore possibilities, to understand
15
existing issues, and to disclose truths and fabricated ones. Without research,
technological advancement and other developments could have remained a
fantasy. Reading, writing, observing, analyzing, and social interaction facilitate an
inquisitive mind's quest for knowledge, learning, and wisdom. Research serves as
a bridge to achieve that goal (Zarah, 2018).
The most tangible evidence of research contributing to student learning can
be found in the textbooks. Almost all of the knowledge, models, processes, and
theories derive either directly or indirectly from research. Research exposes
students to current practices, shows them how the theories and models in their
textbooks have evolved, and demonstrates applications. Seeing the application
and extension of textbook materials often brings that knowledge to life in ways that
assignments, exams, and class discussions simply can’t accomplish. Another
advantage of being an active researcher is engagement with current tools and
technology. Students graduating from college today have available physical tools,
such as tablet computers, and new software that was unheard of only a few years
ago, much less a decade ago. In less than a decade popular software may evolve
through several generations, changing the look, applications, and abilities. Its
important point out that it is not only theoretical, academic research that improves
student learning. Professors who work with industry, either as consultants or in
research partnerships, also contribute to improving student learning. Industry holds
research to different standards than academic journals, primarily the standard of
return on investment.
16
Exposing students to this research process gives them a different
perspective than simply presenting theories from textbooks, or even research from
academic journals. Even better, involving classes or student projects in industry
research exposes students to real world environments and expectations (Dr.John
Story, 2013).
Awareness towards Research
Medical analysis has influence greatly in several developing
countries throughout the recent decade, actuated by the necessity to
enhance health in these countries. Since medical analysis involves human
participants, such analysis must be target-
hunting by elementary moral principles to make sure the protection of their rights
and welfare. International standards mandate the review
of analysis by analysis ethics committees (RECs)
However research laws don't exist in several developing countries, and
commentators have expressed issues concerning the extent of individual and
institutional analysis, ethics capability, together with the existence of functioning
ethics review systems.
Accordingly, many studies have no doubt that analysis ethics
review isn't favorable within the developing world, together with the center. These
results demonstrating below optimum individual and
institutional analysis ethics capability is also explained by the relative novelty
of analysis ethics laws and therefore the recent demand of ethics review
of analysis within the developing world, together with the center East.
17
As such, very little is additionally glorious concerning academics'
attitudes towards RECs, their practices in analysis ethics (e.g., educated consent),
and coaching opportunities in analysis ethics. Recently, Asem and colleagues
assessed the data and attitudes of the college at Cairo University
towards analysis consent. Their results showed that lecturers lacked
in coaching research ethics which their attitudes towards several practices within
the analysis setting weren't favorable.
However, these investigators conjointly showed acceptance of the
college towards the institution of RECs and a need for instructional programs
in research ethics. The field of medical specialty is committed
to current analysis investigation the causes and treatment of dental diseases and
adheres to an equivalent moral standards embraced by the fields of drugs.
However, very little analysis has investigated the attitudes of
dental college towards ideas of analysis ethics, together
with the acceptableness of RECs and their need for coaching in analysis ethics.
18
Recently, commentators have expressed issues in
dental analysis relating to aspects of scientific misconduct. Consequently,
objectives were to assess the data,awareness, and attitudes of
dental college concerning RECs and coaching in analysis ethics, additionally as
potential freelance variables related to our findings. Our
results can facilitate institutional officers perceive higher, RECs accepted in
their establishments and conjointly facilitate them develop
relevant instructional programs in analysis ethics directed towards dental college
(PubMed, 2010).
The analysis course in nursing is enclosed in the majority nursing
curricula in national and international scales. The Purpose
of research regarding nursing is to check awareness and attitudes of Turkish
nursing students towards research and development in nursing. The study had
descriptive and cross-sectional analysis style. The analysis sampling is consisted
of 390 senior students learning throughout the year 2013–2014 in six faculties of
health in six different places in Turkey. The private identification type and Nursing
Students' Attitudes and Awareness of Research and Development at
intervals Nursing Scale were used in knowledge assortment.
19
It was determined that there is a distinction between awareness
and angle lots of nursing students from six different faculties towards research and
development in nursing in step with their faculties and background .It will
be instructed that initiatives to extend awareness of scholars at
nursing faculties towards research course should be planned
(SemanticScholar,2016).
Evaluation to the data and barriers toward research among bioscience students
Plans to extend the role of scholars in health analysis need knowledge on
students’ data and views of analysis. The aim of the study was to judge these
factors toward research among bioscience students. A Conclusion was made that
Students showed favorable data of analysis, however their angle to the sector was
inadequate. A lot of attention should be placed on these parameters within
the program to boost student interest in health analysis.
The impact of barrier factors on analysis demonstrates that there's a
requirement for bigger accessibility of knowledge so as to unravel the issues and
alter ways for analysis (Asia Pacific family practice, 2015).
Complications of Research
20
According to Maya Valentine (2017), she works with a data collection application
and she caters researchers in all fields. One disadvantage that she came across
both in general and while working, is that research is never truly finished. Things
are always changing and new discoveries are being made every day. Of course,
there can be pride in accomplishing a major research project, but it comes with a
humility that is associated with the understanding that your work may not exist in a
state of finality. (Valentine, 2017).
These are disadvantages of research being numerated by Harry Sodhi
(2017). According to him Participants or subjects may not be truthful or may not
behave naturally when they know they are being observed. Confidentiality can be
an issue. Researcher bias may play a role in many ways. For example, the choice
and wording of questions for the questionnaire may be influenced the bias of the
researcher. The researcher may also make subjective choice about which
information to record and emphasize in the findings. No variables are manipulated,
therefore statistical analysis is not possible. Because of this, some scientists
regard descriptive studies as unreliable and unscientific.
21
Research is meant to search out new information and develop higher treatments,
there will be disadvantages to taking part. If you’re on a treatment trial, you would
possibly experience some surprising side-effects. The treatment might not work
any higher than this one or might not be as effective. You can’t make certain of
what would possibly happen. You might not fancy the role you have got .You may
got to take additional blood tests or have additional hospital visits than traditional.
You might realize that additional commitment is required than you expected.
Researchers are already probably to own a concept of what the result can be and
can have done everything doable to make sure your safety. If you’re concerned in
a very treatment trial and there are any signs that it's going to be unsafe, the trial
are going to be stopped forthwith. If you are doing have a negative expertise, don’t
let it place you off within the future. There are many alternative stuff you will do,
and generally telling a scientist a few negative expertise will facilitate to enhance
the method they conduct their studies and therefore the experiences for
consecutive individuals they work with. (Arthritis Research UK, 2017)
There are List of Disadvantages of Experimental Research, first is that
you can’t always do experiments from several issues such as ethical or practical
reasons can hinder an experiment from ever getting started. Second is that it
creates artificial situations. Experimental research also means controlling irrelevant
variables on certain occasions. As such, this creates a situation that is somewhat
artificial.
22
Third, it is a subject to human error Researchers are human too and
they can commit mistakes. However, whether the error was made by machine or
man, one thing remains certain: it will affect the results of a study. Fourth is that
participants can be influenced by environment those who participate in trials may
be influenced by the environment around them. As such, they might give answers
not based on how they truly feel but on what they think the researcher wants to
hear. Fifth is that manipulation of variables isn’t seen as completely objective.
Experimental research mainly involves the manipulation of variables, a practice
that isn’t seen as being objective. As mentioned earlier, researchers are actively
trying to influence variable so that they can observe the consequences. (Green
Garage, 2015)
According to Brooke (2014) No one actually enjoys doing research, you
end up in the library for long periods of time, searching through tons of books to
turn around and not finding the exact book that you need, and when you do find the
perfect book its either checked out or lost. He had already ran into this problem
multiple times when searching for the ‘perfect book’. When he finally found 5 books
the day after his class in their library and figured out that it would work well to back
up his original topic and then he thought it was good to go. He found his books and
knew about his topic, he was ready to write his paper. Then he was informed that
his topic was no longer valid and all his research was a potential waste of time.
23
Culture of Research
In today’s world, one of the criteria of progress in United States of America is
research. In our school, as an alternative of paying to the study, interest is given to
college students about the practices and education of human resources. These
targets to check out student’s consciousness in the direction of research. In our
study, there are insignificant differences between the variables of age, gender and
stage of education and the attitude of college students toward research.
Capabilities closer to the usefulness of search for jobs and careers, anxiety,
relationship with everyday existence and lookup trouble was once positive.
Significance of research and its vital function in the increase and improvement of
us is an integral and closer, hence, recognizing the barriers and lookup
performance in order to improve satisfactory and extent of looking up is of
particular importance. It caught to be cited that one of the essential duties of the
instructional institutions is research mission and it requires substantial and in-depth
evaluation and analysis of the factors, barriers, attitudes and focus of the research.
A lifestyle of research requires institutional and unit primarily based leaders to set
clear lookup desires and communicate them effectively.
24
A lifestyle of research requires institutional and unit primary based leaders to set
clear lookup desires and communicate them effectively. The desires need to be a
well-defined sketch of lookup success evaluation as properly as any
accompanying changes in compensation. Administrations have to also adjust job
descriptions to include statements of lookup and teaching expectations.
Institutions wishing to develop a lifestyle of research must discover good
sized sources for faculty training and support. Faculty with minimal scholarship
manufacturing experience will probable want coaching and personal support to
end up proficiently. Institutions may also improve persevering with schooling
publications ar aid offerings in research practices, supply writing,
and furnish management. These applications is either a centralized or discipline-
specific lookup center. A growing subculture of lookup requires open and a
collaborative non-public relationship amongst faculty members. agreeable
relationship amongst initiative. Two mentorship stand to be
an important component of subculture establishment. Personal
ties among faculty are also likely to foster collaborative lookup efforts, which are a
hallmark of lookup culture success. two Implementing a cultural
change, administrators must be organized to tailor aid allocations primarily
based on college participants present day motivations and abilities.
25
Once changed policies have been
accepted, directors should be prepared to meet continuing challenges, such
as keeping lookup funding, creating partnerships with backyard
institutions to expand lookup opportunities, and confronting institutional changes.
Plans for a tradition of lookup need to encompass consideration
of scholar involvement (Hanover Research, 2014).

Method
Research design
The research design that is appropriate in the study of Capabilities of Senior
High School student of St. Peter’s College of Toril towards research is the research
Descriptive Analysis. This experimental research because it evaluates the given
set of datas. Descriptive analysis describes or summarizes features of a collection
of information. This is appropriate in this research because through this, it can get
the true data or answers to this research. Therefore, Descriptive analysis is being
chosen in our study.
The research design which is Descriptive Analysis was chosen in this
research. As a researcher, the design that can help this study must be chosen
properly. Descriptive Analysis is the one that can help. Therefore, Descriptive
analysis is truly appropriate.
28
Research Locale
This study was conducted at Saint Peters College of Toril. Saint Peter’s
College of Toril is a private, Catholic educational institution based in Toril, Davao
City. Founded in 1948, the school is owned and managed by the Presentation of
the Mary Sisters. The school was established provide a formal religious instruction
program for the youth of Toril and its neighboring districts. SPCT offers a
comprehensive basic education program which is from kindergarten to senior high
school. Its senior high school program, in particular, includes all strands under the
academic track. Moreover, the school also offers a wide variety of college
programs. Students who intend to study in this school can major in disciplines like
Education, Information Technology, and Business Administration. In connection to
the study capabilities of high school students towards research, the researchers
choose Saint Peter's College of Toril to know if the petreans are capable in terms
of handling research, if students has enough prior knowledge in using research tool
to conduct research and prior knowledge about its uses in research. In research
proposal student must justify their assign topic and need to practice research
problems and must be present in practical way. Student must gather information to
measure the targeted variables and established in a systematic way. The
researcher must conduct a survey for them to determine the trends and its
relationship among the student’s capabilities towards research. And if the students
has present the topic fluently enough for the judges to understand the topic.
29
Research respondents
The respondents of the research study were the senior high school students
of Saint Peters College of Toril. They were tasked to answer the questions given to
them sincerely and truthfully. The researchers chose the senior high school
students as the respondents because they have prior knowledge in handling
research subjects.
Research instrument
This study is conducted at Saint Peter’s College of Toril that intended’s to
measure the capabilities of senior high students towards research. We, the
researchers designed a questionnaire as one of the data collections instrument for
this study. There were given legends together with the corresponding numbers to
represent the ideas of the respondents. The respondents were tasked to put a
checked on the numbers as the answers to the different questions.
30
Data gathering procedure
The data gathering procedure is a portion in a research paper that would
discuss the ways on how the researchers gather data and information from the
area and respondents they chose. In this part, processes are included for the
researchers to have an easy collection and synthesis of the data.
First, the researchers will make a proposal for the institution. They will ask
permission from the department that they are going to survey. Second, they will

Data analysis
Data analysis is the most crucial part of any research that summarizes the
collected data. It involves the interpretation of data gathered through the use of
analytical and logical reasoning to determine patterns, relationships or trends. Data
analysis is a process of inspecting, cleansing, transforming, and modeling data
with the goal of discovering useful information, informing conclusions, and
supporting decision-making. Since the study is a descriptive analysis, the
researchers decided to use a descriptive statistics which is the Measure of Central
Tendency in which it is the best and suitable for analyzing the data they will gather.
Using the Measure of Central Tendency, the "Mean" was used as the category of
the data. Mean was the basis of the study on what are the implications of students
in terms of their level of capabilities towards research. Computing the mean helps
to determine the average value or score of all the items that is provided by the
statement of the problem which was the level of capabilities towards research. It
equals to the sum of all the values divided by the numbers of observations. It is the
most popular measure of central tendency, especially when the data set does not
have an outlier. After computing the mean, identifying the “Standard deviation” is
the next to do because it shows how much variation the value of the mean that
implies on the level of capabilities towards research in each problem of the study.
The t-test is being utilized to know on what are the significant difference on the
level of capabilities of the student towards research.

Summary, Recommendation and Conclusion
Summary
The researchers used a constructed survey questionnaire answered
by 50 respondents that are selected using purposive sampling. The study was
made to determine the Capabilities of of students towards research, Senior High
School Students towards their mastery in terms of making a research paper in
High School Students in Selected Private High Schools in Davao City. Moreover,
it was in line with the issue about their capabilities of high school students, which
has a great impact towards the study if they don’t have enough knowledge about
how to construct a research paper .
Conclusion
Based from the research problem, it suggests that there is no
significant difference between the capabilities of Grade 11 and Grade 12
students towards research. In this study, the result shows that in terms of
proposal, the p-value is greater than the level of significance equal to 0.05. This
suggests that there is no significant difference. In this study, the result shows that
in terms of research tool the p-value is greater than the level of significance equal
to 0.05. This suggests that there is no significant difference.

research.
Recommendation
Based on the findings and conclusions, the following
recommendations are forwarded. It is beneficial in the further depth of the study
to add up additional factors and variables in the socio-demographic profiles of the
respondents, as well as to determine the capabilities students towards research
in terms of proposal, research tool, data gathering, data analysis, conclusion and
recommendation, referencing, and research presentation.
49
We recommend that the institution should hire more qualified research
teachers to guide the students since based from the result, the capabilities of
senior high school students towards research is high, they should also have
symposium and seminar for the students to be well informed. For the students,
we recommend that they should take the research subject seriously since they
are capable, they should enhance their skills so that they will have a successful
study.
Student:
The research widens their knowledge and awareness towards research that will
give them a clear understanding about the capabilities in doing research
Teacher:
The research assists each educator’s understanding and knowledge about the
student’s about capabilities towards research that will help them in making
research.
School administration:
The research assists the administration that they must hire research teacher that
has a capability to teach and knows how to handle the class. Also knowledgeable
about research and knows how to manage time.
Future Researchers:
The research provides relevant data and information for future research in
connection with the study. It will also serve as a baseline in which we can better
understand the balance between promoting practical and realistic expectations of
emerging students towards their capabilities towards research.

Appendix F
Mr. Eduard Johnielle M. Suico
During our previous discussions, i learned many things, especially in
making our research paper. I felt tired and exhausted because i have to balance
my time on other subjects just to help in our conducted research. I spent a
semester just to formulate our chapters 1 and 2. I learned a lot about the types of
research such as quantitative research which deals with numberd and statistical
tools; basic research that talks about laws, library research which talks about the
history, laboratory research which can be considered as experimental and many
more.
77
Ms. Real Anne A. Diagonon
A semester was given as the limited time for us to do our research. In
doing our research chapters 1 & 2, as a group we had our ups and downs. For
me, having those 2 chapters was never easy. I had a moment in which i got so
tired and i wanted to quit. Doing the 2 chapters made me unmotivated. But then
even if there were struggles in our group, there were also times in which we had
fun despite the pressure and expectations. But among those hardships, the most
difficult part were the chapter defense. I was so scared because i got a lot of
what if's and but's in my mind. I was so nervous upon answering the questions
being thrown to me and as well as to my groupmates. As a synthesis of my
experience, i can say that making a research paper was never easy but then it
feels fulfilling in the end.
78
Ms. Michaela P. Suarez
Throughout my journey with my groupmates in research,we realized and
learned many things.As I work and do my best to finish my task in doing
research,I can totally say that it is really hard.Research is not just a simple
thing,but it is a thing that needs a lot more emphasizing and critical and efficient
thinking.Research made me stress all throughout this semester.Doing research
is stressful and difficult sometimes but doing it with my groupmates is fun and
much more easier.We cooperate and we tease each other during in making our
tasks.It is really fun! I hope we can make memories together all
throughout.Research is fun!
79
Ms. Lady J-Anne M. Loyola
In doing our research paper there are a lot of hardships that I
encountered. I struggled a lot during our defense since i am not a good speaker
in front of many people.It is really true that doing or conducting a research study
is not an easy one it takes a lot patience,unity,money,effort,time,passion and
willingness to finish the study.I felt tired and almost gave up in finding all the
needed informations in our study. Indeed research needs your logical and critical
thinking but while doing it we still enjoy each others company
80
Karlo Yutig
I have learned that we must value each time for us to pass it on time.
The importance of the S. O. p in the research that will be utilized in the
questionnaire. In scope and limitation, making APA citation for the RRL and we
should use first, second, and third person in making a research. I learned also on
how to cite where is the dependent and independent variables. In conceptual
framework I have learned that there is non-experimental which has three parts,
the input, where put the problem, the process which will be the survey ,then the
output where we put the recommendations. While the experimental uses
variables. Then the research background which includes the local, national, and
international study. Also in the RRL which is process that determines the
similarities and differences of the findings of the study.
81
Angelika Sarmiento
Research is like a maze that when you turn into a wrong way there's a
possibility on getting lost. Sometimes we need to be sure on what way that we
will be going to chose. We need to be aware on what are the consequences we
need to face on each way. As well as on research that is so complicated that's
why we need to consider those challenge and overcome it. When we were
making the chapter 1 and 2 of our research, at first for me it is difficult because
my knowledge about research are just limited and I don't have any deepen
understandings about it. During the discussion in research while having the
groupings and formulating the study, I learned a lot because the discussion was
being interpreted in actual. Recently I feel anxious because sometimes research
for me is like a stressor but I know and I realize that it can help me to become a
more knowledgeable about the research paper that I can use when I become a
professional. I just need to widen my understanding so that I will become a more
productive student and so I can easily absorb the topic and bare it into my mind.
When it comes on defesing our study, I just need to improve my speaking skill
and my vocabulary so that I can easily express my thoughts and opinions using
the universal language. In this world that full of innovated and newly invented
technologies, there's a lot of things that the new generation need to discover.
With a high capability on research there's a lot of new learnings that we can get
and add it into the body of knowledge.
82
Francis Joel T. Buot
Conducting research is hard but we got no choice but to do it plus it
has its merits by knowing what do to and not to do when conduction research
and yeah so we students know the know how to do research and possibly in the
near future we or I will not be as confused as I am now in conduction another
research for collage. Chapters one, two, three, four, were hard but we pulled it
thru because of my active group mate’s participation we all had a part and we all
did our part not just individually but as a group working together.
