Research establishes facts and new findings through a systematic investigation to

contribute to an existing body of knowledge

Technical Terms Used in Research

 Research Title is a subject or topic that researcher finds interesting when conducting
research. This needs to be narrowed down which will focus on the main idea.

 Abstract summarizes all sections and helps readers decide whether or not to read the
entire report.

 Introduction presents background information, scope, and focus of the research paper.

 Literature Review provides a review of what others have written or researched on

concerning the topic. In some research reports, concept literature, research literature,
theoretical framework, conceptual framework, research hypothesis, and definition of
terms are also included.

 Methodology explains how the research was conducted. These include the research
design, population and sampling procedure, research instrument, data gathering
procedure, and data analysis procedure.

 Discussion presents the information gathered through the research.

 Conclusion provides the summary of the research. It brings the report to closure by
giving emphasis to ideas stated previously.

 Results contain other related information such as graphs, charts, tables, and lists.

2
 Cultural mapping refers to a research tool to holistically understand the cultural assets of
a place based on the local knowledge of the people.

 Interview is a conversational practice where knowledge is produced through the

interaction between an interviewer and an interviewee or a group of interviewees.

 Interview Guide summarizes the content that researchers cover during interviews. At one
extreme, it may provide very minimal directions, leading to “less structured” interviews
that are designed primarily to explore the participant’s own perspective on the research
topic.

Tips for Formulating Questions

 Pose open, rather than closed questions.

 Sequence interview questions from broad to narrow.
 Avoid the inclusion of possible responses in questions.
 Pose one question at a time.
 Avoid posing multi-part questions.

 Questionnaire is a set of questions to gather information in a survey. It may be in a form

of open-end format that allows the respondents to answer in any way he or she wishes in
his or her term, multiple choice format that presents a question which is followed by a set
of options pre-determined by the researcher, or checklist format that is used exclusively or
with some use of free-response option.

Tips for Writing a Great Survey Questionnaire

1. Focus on asking closed-ended questions.

2. Keep your survey questions neutral.
3. Keep a balanced set of answer choices.
4. Don’t ask for two things at once.
5. Keep your questions different from each other.
6. Let most of your questions be optional to answer.
 Survey is a statistical analysis of answers to a poll of a sample of a population, e.g. to
determine opinions, or knowledge.

 Plagiarism occurs when ideas, information, and even pictures are used without proper
acknowledgement of the original sources. Providing in-text citation or parenthetical text
from another source is a surefire method to avoid plagiarism.

 Running Text
According to Shane (2021), use of in-text citation shows that the idea is not yours
and that you acknowledge its rightful source.
 Within Parenthesis
The use of in-text citation shows that the idea is not yours and that you
acknowledge its original source (Shane, 2001).

 Reference is a list of all sources used in research.

 Appendix contains related information such as graphs, charts, tables, lists.
