Case Exercise:

Write at least three (3) topics of your choice you think is researchable in your
field of specialization.

 Why its necessary to be cynical when preparing topics for research? Explain

 Why do we consider the presence of the problem beforehand doing the

research?

 Why should a research be novel, timely and relevant? Explain.

To claim something novel, it needs to possess the "quality of being new, original,
or unusual". The methodology itself can be novel. The results obtained from
using a known methodology may also be novel. How does one assess this? One
possibility may be to undertake a thorough review of literature.   

 Identify at least 3 reasons why we need to share research outputs?

The sharing of all research outputs, including data, code, materials, and other
types of information beyond the traditional research paper has the potential to
aid the advancement of scientific progress generally and benefit individual
researchers by adding transparency to their research process as well as
potentially increasing citations to their work (Piwowar, H. A., & Vision, T. J.
2013). 

Publication makes the information available for use in practical applications. 

 What period or suggested timeframe should reference materials be use in
the research study?
 Why is it important to be impartial in doing research study? Explain in your
own words
Impartiality, or considering information without bias, is important in research,
particularly in the social sciences. Because of its subjective nature, social
science research depends on the impartiality of researchers, especially in the
interpretation of data. In its simplest form, there are multiple examples of
impartiality (or lack of it) in the history of science.
 Enumerate and discuss the various parts of Chapter 1.
 When hypothesis is use in the study?
No, it is not a must to have hypotheses in all quantitative research. Descriptive
studies dont need hypotheses.

however, RCT and experimental studies, require having hypothesies,

and when you want to use inferential statistics also you need.

Regards

 There are a hundreds of theories that can be used in research, give at least
25 theories and explain each their uses in research.

 In your own words, how do we use the conceptual framework in research?

Explain.
A conceptual framework illustrates what you expect to find through your
research. It defines the relevant variables for your study and maps out how they
might relate to each other.

You should construct a conceptual framework before you begin collecting data. It

is often represented in a visual format.

 Why its necessary for a study to have an explication of research objectives?

 What do we consider when writing the explication of research study?

 How many suggested objectives should be included in a study?

 What is important of writing the scope and limitation of the study? Explain.

The scope of research is the areas covered in the research. In this part of the
research paper you will tell exactly what was done and where the information
that was used specifically came from.

The limitations are the circumstances that were not considered in the research,
also known as the bounds, is the cease of the scope of studies.

The type of information that would be included in the scope

of a research project would include facts and theories about the subject of the
project.
When enough information has been gathered from a scope of a study, the
individual who is doing the project may "wrap up" the information because the
limitations of the research have been met,and then a conclusion can be formed.
Limitations are important because projects with too much information may bore
or overwhelm the audience and cause the project to be ineffective due to the
lack of information retained.
This will give the audience an overview of what kind of information they are
looking at.

 What is the downside when a study is too wide and do not use or have a
scope or limitation? Explain
 In your own understanding, what should be considered in doing the scope
and limitation of the study? Explain

 Why its important to dedicate research result to end-users

 Give example as to beneficiaries of research results/output

List any beneficiaries from the research and give details of how the results of the
proposed research would be disseminated. Please state whether the research is likely to
lead to patentable or otherwise commercially exploitable results. Wherever possible, the
beneficiaries should consist of a wider group than that of the fellows immediate
professional circle carrying out similar research. Specific beneficiaries might be:
 

 Researchers in other disciplines;

 Academic organizations;
 Companies, public sector bodies and others who may use the results to their
advantage; or
 Policy makers.

Why consider who will benefit from my research?

Researchers are encouraged to consider who will benefit from their research,
especially when the research may involve or affect multiple individuals or groups
(eg beneficiaries, non-academic users, participants and their associates,
researchers or research organisations) - particularly where benefit to one
individual or group may lead to increased risk to another. Researchers should
aim to achieve a positive risk-benefit ratio, but should also ensure they
safeguard the independence and excellence of the research.

Benefit can be defined as the positive impact from the research to the parties
directly involved (eg research participants and those associated with them,
researchers and research organisations), as well as the demonstrable
contribution of research to knowledge, our economy, individuals and society.
During the development of the research the maximisation of research benefits
should hold central position when considering ethics issues. A study may be
considered ethical when there is a positive risk-benefit ratio - that is, the risks
and intrusions for people taking part in research are minimised and justified by
the expected benefits for the participants, or for science and society.
