In designing research, the researcher needs to consider the usefulness of research projects to be
conducted to the community where he or she belongs, to the bigger community, the Philippines,
Asia, and the world. • In deciding on a research topic, the researcher should see to it that the
research project would be worth the planning, execution of plans, resources in time, manpower, and
budget. • Research is closely connected with development. The results/findings of studies also affect
society and the lives of each one of us. Research is very vital to our everyday decision making.

Examples:

• Research leads to an expansion of knowledge and discoveries of new medical treatment and cures.

• It leads to breakthroughs in agriculture such as the introduction of high-yield and drought-

resistant varieties.

• In business, companies conduct surveys and feasibility studies to find out the needs of the
community
