NARRATIVE REPORT

RESEARCH AND THE RELEVANCE OF PUBLICATION

Learning, like research, is an ongoing process that should never be stopped.

Research is the creation of new knowledge and/or the creative use of existing
knowledge to develop new concepts, approaches, and understandings. Information is
knowledge, and knowledge is information. It's a straightforward philosophy, but it's one
that works. The more you learn, the more valuable you become. Because learning stops
when research ceases, and no one knows everything, research should never stop. As a
result, everyone must learn, and everyone should always be performing research.

The Institute of Graduate and Professional Education (IGPE) held its inaugural
virtual seminar workshop on February 19, 2022, to commemorate DSSC's third
foundation anniversary. They are inviting IGPE thesis writers, as well as interested
teachers and staff, to the seminar workshop. As one of the viewers of this presented
opportunity, I have gained a great deal of knowledge about our future requirements for
our master's degree, thesis writing, its methods of writing, and its current relevance.

First thing that I learned about the webinar lesson discussed by our first speaker
Sir Cesar G. Demayo, Ph.D about Science- Its constraints, restrictions, mentoring, and
publications remind us that we are continually learning, that we will always be students
of science. If we want to be successful researchers, we must be open to many different
ideas and maintain an interdisciplinary approach to our interactions with other bodies of
knowledge. In order to be directed on the flow of our research, we must follow the
scientific process. We need to examine wider and notice more on what important for
the future since research is a factor of change, but it is still confined because it is
definable with that. As we begin to explore the world of research, the webinar mentions
that we can work more effectively if we collaborate. That is why the concept of a
mentor and mentee exists: the mentor is a seasoned researcher, and the mentee is a
novice researcher. The mentor's lived experiences and knowledge will guide the mentee
in the proper direction, especially now that we are on the process of making our
research publishable. Making each component of it correct and well researched is the
greatest method to get it done perfectly and make it worth publishing. The speaker
walks us through the phases and elements of the research process, as well as how to
deal with them. The following questions were also presented for each section of the
research so that your data could only go in one direction: approval and publication.
That was one of the takeaways I got from the first speaker, and it's something I'll keep
in mind while I finish my master's degree.

In connection with the webinar's morning session, I heard from the second
speaker about the benefits of studying symbolic interactionism. How it relates to
science and education research, and how it might be implemented in future educational
studies. He also outlined the procedures in doing a qualitative study and how we might
go about doing it, such as allowing us to respond to various activities that lead to data
collection and guiding us through the process of analyzing the data collected. He also
discusses the many methods of data analysis, including online and manual techniques.
The use of symbolic interactionism, as well as how to conduct a qualitative investigation
and how it differs from a quantitative study, were the main takeaways from the second
speaker.

The webinar on research and the necessity of publication emphasizes the

importance of staying current and intelligently employing our resources. Everything in
our environment could be the result of research, and we could be the author of a
publication-worthy study. We must adapt to change, which necessitates ongoing
research. We are educators, and as educators, we must conduct reliable and
publishable research.
