Activity 1: What is Research?

Directions: Determine further the meaning and function of research by reading the paragraphs below. In doing so,
arrange the jumbled letters of some terms to understand research even better.
When researchers are interested in examining a problem using a scientific approach, it is said that they are doing a
(1.) S A R R E E C H. The people who are being studied are called (2.) B U J E C T S. The person who oversees
the research is called the (3.) P R I N C E L I P investigator. The building blocks of theories are called (4.) C E P C
O N T S.
An abstract generalization that presents a systematic representation about relationships among phenomena is called
a (5.) H E R O Y T. The concepts that are studied are called (6.) B A R I A L E V. The concept that is being studied
that usually that usually indicates the influence or cause is called the (7.) D E N T I N P E E N D variable. The
concept that the researcher is most interested in understanding is called the (8.) T E E N N P E D D variable.
Variables that may influence or contaminate the data are called (9.) E O U T S X A E R N variables. If the group
that is being studied is very different or varied, the group is said to be (10.) G E N E S H E R O T E O U while
groups that are very similar are called (11.) H O O M N E E G O U S groups. When studying variables, definitions
must be clarified. A variable such as anxiety may be defined as a feeling of uneasiness; this is called a (12.) C E P
T A L C U O N definition. To measure anxiety, the State-Traite Anxiety Scale might be used.
A (13.) S Y S I T H E P H O is a statement written by the researcher that states the relationship among or between
variables. There are two major categories for research designs. One design, the (14.) Q U A I N T V A I E T T
approach uses data that has numerical representation or values. The second design, (15.) Q U A I L V E A T T I,
uses narrative data. (16.) D E D U C E V I T reasoning is the basis for quantitative approach. The bond or
connection between two variables is called a (17.) O R I E N T A L H I P S. Research that is conducted to generate
knowledge that influences or improves practice is called (18.) D E A L I P P research. Research that tests theories is
known as (19.) A S C I B research.
