PRACTICAL RESEARCH 2 (QUANTITATIVE)

First Quarter: Week 4
DESIGNING RESEARCH IN DAILY LIFE

Name: Maria Fe Arana Grade Level: 12

Section: Talde Date: ______________________

Background Information:
Based on your previous study in Practical Research 1 (Qualitative Research) that
research is as good as its searching answer to questions or solutions to problems of day to day
living.
Research is as good as its findings because it answers or solves real-world phenomena.
It typically calls to “mind mathematical formulas that describe the ever-expanding the natural
phenomena, complex theorems, liquids in test tubes, endless experiments to explain
phenomena, human behavior, and the like” (Prieto, Naval and Carey 2017, 27).
Research affects us and the society that we live in each day of our lives. The way we
experience relationships, how we perceive the world, how society is governed, and a lot more is
influenced by the expanding knowledge that we produce. In other words, we need research to
make sense of our world, and to answer certain phenomena of different disciplines,
corporations, government organizations, our field of specialization, and many more.

Possible Research Topics Related to Daily Life

Research must be innovative in nature; it must operate on areas between disciplines.
Your research topic must be concerning your field of specialization or anything that might
interest you.

Is the Topic or Situation (Researchable or Not Researchable)?

Topics or specific situations that are answerable by a simple inquiry process \NOT
Researchable. If the topic cannot be answered by simple inquiry and needs further investigation
and data analysis, then the topic is Researchable.
Example: Poverty Alleviation, Unemployment etc.

Exercises 2. Designing Research Topics Related to Daily Life. Choose at least 3 Topics you
want to research. Formulate a simple essay stating the reasons why you chose the topic.
Topic 1:

I wanted to research about ‘the effects of social media in the academic performance of students” for the
reason is that a lot of teenage student now a days are very active in using social media. So I want to
know if this has an effect with their performance in school.

Topic 2:

Research about 'How this Covid19 pandemic impacts every family everyday life of every Filipino people.'
Because of what is happening in our globe, the Philippines is one of the nations that still has a high case
of Covid 19, this research what to know how they manage to live while having a quarantine in every
family.

Topic 3:

Research topic about ‘Students time management on how they do their modules at their houses’. We
should be aware of this as well, since it may be one of the most important concepts to concentrate on.
And how the kids do it when they're in there, with so many distractions, how they find time for
themselves. Because we all know that even at school, there are several distractions that prevent us from
concentrating on our studies, and we had far more at home.
