Introduction
As a high school student, the research journey allows for a wider
educational experience where you are able to discover the effects of
applying new thought processes through study and testing. You will be able
to use that experience to see the practical application of research projects
and explore its potentialities and benefits to society.
According to Mary-Louise Kearney, Director of the UNESCO Forum
on Higher Education, Research and Knowledge, knowledge generated by
research is the basis of sustainable development, which requires that
knowledge be placed at the service of development, be converted into
applications, and be shared to ensure widespread benefits. You’ll use them
in your life to become a productive citizen in the future.

Brace yourselves learners!

Now that you learned about research and its general
benefit, let’s try to do the first activity.

Lesson: Benefits and Beneficiaries of

Research

A. Benefits of Research
Research is required not just for students and academics, but for all
professionals and non-professionals alike. These are the benefits of research
according to Zarah (2020):
1. A Tool for Building Knowledge and to Support the Truth
For non-professionals who value learning, doing research equips them
with knowledge about the world and skills to survive and improve their lives.
Among professionals and scribes, on the other hand, finding an interesting
topic to discuss and/or to write about should go beyond personal
experience. Determining either what the general public may want to know or
what researchers want others to realize or to think about can serve as a
reason to do research. Thus, research is an essential component in
generating knowledge and vice-versa. Moreover, this is for fact-checking to
know the truth as this is integral to the process of research, for it is fueled
by an inquisitive and critical mind.
2. Means to Understand Various Issues and Increase Public Awareness
As Freedman discoursed in "The Importance of Research for ICT

4
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 tales and non-fictive accounts do
research, for doing so helps them create a good story and/or achieve strong
credibility.

3. 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 (R&D). Different business industries with science and
engineering processes like agriculture, food and beverage, manufacturing,
healthcare and pharmaceuticals, computer software, semiconductor,
information and communication technology, construction, robotics,
aerospace, aviation, and energy have high R&D expenditure because it is
critical to product innovation and to improving services.

4. Means to Find, Gauge, and Seize Opportunities

Research helps people nurture their potential and achieve goals
through various opportunities. These can be in the form of securing
employment, scholarships, training grants, project funding, business
collaboration, and budget traveling, among others. Indeed, research
contributes to a person's ability to make life-changing decisions. It
encourages self-growth, participation in worthwhile causes, and living
productively.

5. A Seed to Love Reading, Writing, and Analyzing

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 he/she understands.
6. Nourishment and Exercise for the Mind
The College Admissions Partners (as cited in Zarrah, 2020) notes how
scientific research in particular "helps students develop critical reasoning
skills...helpful for any field of higher education..." Such search or the
thinking process is food for the brain, allowing creativity and logic to remain
active.

5
B. Beneficiaries of Research
Researchers are encouraged to think about who will benefit from their
research especially when the research may involve or affect multiple
respondents or groups. Beneficiaries will depend upon the aim of the
research for the overall or specific context. The results of the research
will provide a huge contribution to research knowledge, economy,
individuals, and humanity.
1. Society and its People
According to Australian Research Council, (2017) the society
and its people can gain a lot from research which include better
products, better services, healthier lives, better welfare, as well as
increased understanding of ideas and attitudes, values and beliefs,
and so on.
2. Teachers and the Students
Rebecca Austin (2020) , author of Researching Primary
Education and Senior Lecturer at the School of Teacher Education
and Development at Canterbury Christchurch University, highlights
what the benefits are of research to the teachers which include:
a.) help find solutions to particular problems arising in the
classroom or school;
b.) connect you with sources of information and networks of
professional support; and
c.) clarify purposes, processes and priorities when introducing
change – for example, to curriculum, pedagogy or
assessment.
On the other hand, according to the University of San Diego
(2020), students as beneficiaries of research can gain the following
benefits that include:
a.) fostering critical thinking and analytical skills through
hands-on learning;
b.) defining academic, career and personal interests;
c.) expanding knowledge and understanding of a chosen field
outside of the classroom;
d.) developing one-on-one connections with distinguished
faculty in their field; and
e.) building community with peers, faculty and organizations
on- and off-campus.

 You just learned about the details on the benefits and
beneficiaries of research. Now, it is time for you to
check your understanding about the topic.
Best of luck!

(Activity 3) ON MY OWN
Instruction: Read the following qualitative research abstract and cite its
benefits and beneficiaries.

A New Solar-Powered Rice-Fish Farming System for Yield

Improvement
Abenoja, Montepio, Bayron (2020)

Rice-fish farming is widely practiced all over the world, but since
some areas lack irrigation, diesel pumps are often needed. Solar-
powered irrigation systems (SPIS) are considered to be a more
sustainable option than traditional pumps, but are more costly to set
up, limiting their use to direct rice irrigation. This study intended to
integrate solar-powered pumps in the irrigation system and investigate
its viability through the following: establish an appropriate motor size,
determine solar panel tilt, and compare with traditional irrigation
pumping. The system was comprised of a positive displacement-type
solar pump, photovoltaic panels, a charge controller, a battery, and an
elevated, lined water impounding system for aquaculture. Tilt angles
varying between 5 and 10 degrees were tested by measuring the current
drawn from the photovoltaic panels. Three motor sizes were used and
compared based on flow rate and volume of water pumped per full
100Ah battery, and the effect of the water impounding system along
with raising tilapia on the growth of rice was determined. Results
revealed that a 200-watt motor pumps the most water per full battery
charge, and that the monthly computed panel tilt had the highest
harvested energy. Furthermore, solar-powered rice-fish culture gave a
higher yield compared to traditional diesel-pump irrigation, and
calculations on the system’s economic feasibility show a benefit cost
ratio of 1.26 and a payback period of 2.87 years.
