st
As a 21 century learner, you are expected to pose awareness on the pressing social issues in your
KNOW
locality and country as a whole. Knowing these issues does not only entail gathering information but also
giving solutions to the problems we are facing nowadays. Data on information are found in any forms and
channels in the society. And to meet the academic demands of the industry, one must truly understand the
problem. Thus, research is born.

This module will lead you to:

Learning Competency: Compose a research report on a relevant social issue.

 What Is It
• Research Report is a condensed form or a brief description of the research work done by the
researcher. It involves several steps to present the report in the form of thesis or dissertation. It also
refers to a completed study that reports an investigation or exploration of a problem, identifies
questions to be addressed, and includes data collected, analyzed, and interpreted by the researcher.

Parts of Research Report

• Writing the Introduction

The essential parts of the introduction:

A. Brief Background: Provide an overview of the scope of the research.
B. Objectives of the Study: Articulate what you intend to find out or achieve in the
study. Some researchers use research questions that they intend to address in the report.
Others articulate the objectives of the study. Either way, research questions or objectives are
tools to guide readers in knowing the direction of the research.
C. Significance of the Study. Discuss the relevance of the study to your intended audience. Cite
the specific benefits that they can get from the findings of the research.
D. Literature Review. Discuss previous studies done on the chosen topic. Relate how your
research relates to these previous researches.

The introduction serves the purpose of leading the reader from the general subject area to a particular
field of research. (Source https://library.sacredheart.edu/c.php?g=29803&p=185916)
In writing the introduction, you also have to think of catchy devices or hooks that would get the interest
of your readers. This can be done through the use of questions, a direct quotation, a startling fact or vivid
description.

• Writing the Body

The body of the research report contains the substantial amount of information that needs to be
clearly and accurately presented and analyzed. The data that will be presented in this section are meant to
address the research questions or objectives. In presenting the gathered information, you can use pie charts,
graphs or tables. Note that you must introduce each illustration appropriately followed by an adequate
discussion of the data presented.

Moreover, you need to use related studies to support or refute the findings. You can do this by
incorporating the notes (summary, quote, paraphrase) that you have gathered in the rewriting phase. Also,
introduce and explain the direct quotation, paraphrase or summary that you have incorporated in the
discussions. Remember to cite your sources using the recommended system of documentation to avoid
plagiarism. Plagiarism occurs when ideas, information, and even pictures are used without proper
acknowledgment of the original sources.

4
 • Writing the Conclusion

The conclusion is important in bringing home the highlights of the research paper. A well – written
conclusion allows readers to take on a new perspective about the thesis. Moreover, it provides readers with
recommendations that can be explored concerning the topic.

Recommendations address limitations and suggest how they might be overcome in future work or
researches.

The basic structure of a typical research paper is the sequence of Introduction, Methods, Results, and
Discussion (sometimes abbreviated as IMRAD).

Activity 5: Which is Which?
Directions: Read and understand the sample parts of a research report below. Label each part with
introduction, body, and conclusion.

The Effects of Food Insecurity in School Performance

Having a lower school
performance later in life could
place these children as future
parents in food-insecure
households, thus perpetuating the
cycle. Solving the cyclical
problem of poverty and school
performance requires participation
from all stakeholders, including
schools, city governments, and
state and federal legislation that
work to move following
generations out of the cycle.
Poverty and poor school
performance are two problems that
keep children from reaching their
full potential. Alongside poverty is
food insecurity, which affects
millions of households – and
children – everyday. We wanted to
find out whether programs
designed to reduce food insecurity
for targeted children would
improve their school performance,
and therefore, give them a more
successful start in life
Students who answered
affirmatively in the surveys were
consistently among the lower
performing members of their class.
Contrasted with their peers who
were not identified as
socioeconomically disadvantaged,
these students identified anxiety
about their next meal as one of the
top three concerns in their minds.

Activity 6: Check it Out

Directions: Below is a given sample draft of a research report taken from Psychology Research Paper
Outline https://www.examples.com/education/research-paper-outline.html. Do a self-assessment by
marking a (√) on each item that conforms to the parts of a research and an (X) if it does not.

I. Introduction
A. Topic: Prejudice and Social Influence
B. Issue: Social influences affect people’s view of one another
C. Thesis: Prejudice is a social condition that can arise as a result of the conformity of
people within a social group or society.

6
II. Body

A. Prejudice based on stereotypes is a major problem in our society

A. Comes from social stereotypes that influence a person’s attitudes directly.
B. Is usually used to pass judgment on one person who is considered part of a specific group.
C. Can occur in any form
1. Race
2. Culture
3. Sex
4. Vocation

B. Prejudice develops early within the people, as children are the most likely to begin developing ideas
based on what they are exposed to.
A. Children
1. Learn quickly and pick up on what is around them easily.
2. Are impressionable, especially when given specific ideas by adults.
3. Bring problems to the next generation, as they will then pass on these attitudes to their
children creating a never-ending cycle.
4. Are learning from everything and everyone, making it difficult to weed out
negative issues that they encounter based on Social Learning Theory.

C. Psychodynamic Therapy
A. Deals with unconscious thought, as this is where many fears and beliefs come from.
B. Uncovers subconscious memories that can be affecting an individual without their knowledge.
C. Uncovers repressed trauma, which can also be causing attitudes and thoughts without the
individual’s knowledge.
D. Can help locate reasons why prejudice exists, since the attitudes towards others are often
pre-standing, without any reason for their existence.

D. Origins
A. Other people are the basis for our actions because they help to set standards that we
subconsciously attempt to meet.
B. People in position of power have the most influence in our decision making because they are a
subconscious role model for the rest of society.

III. Conclusion
Prejudice is what can happen when people are too easy to conform to what the majority, or even a
charismatic leader, have to say. This is how cults are started, as a charismatic leader will influence people to
share the same beliefs that he or she has. This fear of not fitting in with the group will often cause a person
to adopt the same beliefs.

 Region IX: Zamboanga Peninsula Hymn – Our Eden Land
Here the trees and flowers bloom Gallant men And Ladies fair
Here the breezes gently Blow, Linger with love and care
Here the birds sing Merrily, Golden beams of sunrise and sunset
The liberty forever Stays, Are visions you’ll never forget
Oh! That’s Region IX
Here the Badjaos roam the seas Hardworking people Abound,
Here the Samals live in peace Every valleys and Dale
Here the Tausogs thrive so free Zamboangueños, Tagalogs, Bicolanos,
With the Yakans in unity
My Final Farewell
Farewell, dear Fatherland, clime of the sun caress'd
Pearl of the Orient seas, our Eden lost!,
Gladly now I go to give thee this faded life's best,
And were it brighter, fresher, or more blest
Still would I give it thee, nor count the cost.
On the field of battle, 'mid the frenzy of fight,
Others have given their lives, without doubt or heed;
The place matters not-cypress or laurel or lily white,
Scaffold or open plain, combat or martyrdom's plight,
T is ever the same, to serve our home and country's need.
I die just when I see the dawn break,
Through the gloom of night, to herald the day;
And if color is lacking my blood thou shalt take,
Pour'd out at need for thy dear sake
To dye with its crimson the waking ray.
My dreams, when life first opened to me,
My dreams, when the hopes of youth beat high,
Were to see thy lov'd face, O gem of the Orient sea
From gloom and grief, from care and sorrow free;
No blush on thy brow, no tear in thine eye.
Dream of my life, my living and burning desire,
All hail ! cries the soul that is now to take flight;
All hail ! And sweet it is for thee to expire ;
To die for thy sake, that thou mayst aspire;
And sleep in thy bosom eternity's long night.
If over my grave some day thou seest grow,
In the grassy sod, a humble flower,
Draw it to thy lips and kiss my soul so,
While I may feel on my brow in the cold tomb below
The touch of thy tenderness, thy breath's warm power.
Let the moon beam over me soft and serene,
Let the dawn shed over me its radiant flashes,
Let the wind with sad lament over me keen ;
And if on my cross a bird should be seen,
Let it trill there its hymn of peace to my ashes.
I Am a Filipino, by Carlos P. Romulo
I am a Filipino–inheritor of a glorious past, hostage to the uncertain
future. As such I must prove equal to a two-fold task–the task of
meeting my responsibility to the past, and the task of performing my
obligation to the future.
I sprung from a hardy race, child many generations removed of
ancient Malayan pioneers. Across the centuries the memory comes
rushing back to me: of brown-skinned men putting out to sea in
ships that were as frail as their hearts were stout. Over the sea I see
them come, borne upon the billowing wave and the whistling wind,
carried upon the mighty swell of hope–hope in the free abundance of
new land that was to be their home and their children’s forever.
I am a Filipino. In my blood runs the immortal seed of heroes–seed
that flowered down the centuries in deeds of courage and defiance.
In my veins yet pulses the same hot blood that sent Lapulapu to
battle against the first invader of this land, that nerved Lakandula in
the combat against the alien foe, that drove Diego Silang and
Dagohoy into rebellion against the foreign oppressor.
The seed I bear within me is an immortal seed. It is the mark of my
manhood, the symbol of dignity as a human being. Like the seeds
that were once buried in the tomb of Tutankhamen many thousand
years ago, it shall grow and flower and bear fruit again. It is the
15
insignia of my race, and my generation is but a stage in the
unending search of my people for freedom and happiness.

Let the sun draw the vapors up to the sky,
And heavenward in purity bear my tardy protest
Let some kind soul o 'er my untimely fate sigh,
And in the still evening a prayer be lifted on high
From thee, 0 my country, that in God I may rest.
Pray for all those that hapless have died,
For all who have suffered the unmeasur'd pain;
For our mothers that bitterly their woes have cried,
For widows and orphans, for captives by torture tried
And then for thyself that redemption thou mayst gain

I am a Filipino, child of the marriage of the East and the West. The
East, with its languor and mysticism, its passivity and endurance,
was my mother, and my sire was the West that came thundering
across the seas with the Cross and Sword and the Machine. I am of
the East, an eager participant in its spirit, and in its struggles for
liberation from the imperialist yoke. But I also know that the East
must awake from its centuried sleep, shake off the lethargy that has
bound his limbs, and start moving where destiny awaits.
I am a Filipino, and this is my inheritance. What pledge shall I give
that I may prove worthy of my inheritance? I shall give the pledge that
has come ringing down the corridors of the centuries, and it shall be
compounded of the joyous cries of my Malayan forebears when first
they saw the contours of this land loom before their eyes, of the battle
cries that have resounded in every field of combat from Mactan to
Tirad Pass, of the voices of my people when they sing:
“I am a Filipino born to freedom, and I shall not rest until freedom
shall have been added unto my inheritance—for myself and my
children and my children’s children—forever.”
