 MEANING

WHAT IS RESEARCH?

-RESEARCH is defined as a studious inquiry or examination

especially an investigation or experimentation aimed at the
discovery and interpretation of facts, revision of accepted
theories or laws in the light of new facts, or practical
application of such new or revised theories or laws. It is the
collecting of information about a subject (Merriam-Webster,
n.d.).
IMPORTANCE
RESEARCH IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE...

It helps us answer
questions, solve
problems, and make
decisions.
RESEARCH IS IMPORTANT BECauSE...

It enables us to see
and understand how
and why a situation
or problem exist.
RESEARCH IS IMPORTANT BECauSE...

It helps us discover
new things and
ideas.
RESEARCH IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE...

It allows us to
validate existing
theories or generate
new ones.
RESEARCH IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE...

It helps us identify
and understand the
causes and effects
of a phenomenon.
CHARACTERISTICS
OF
RESEARCH
 EMPIRICAL

Research is based on direct experience or

observation by the researcher. The collection
of data relies on practical experiences
without benefit of the scientific knowledge or
theory.
 LOGICAL

Research is based on valid procedures and principals.

Scientific investigation is done in an orderly manner, so
that the researcher has confidence in the results. Logical
examination of the procedure enables the researcher to
draw valid conclusions, thus the logic of valid research
makes it important for decision-making.
 CYCLICAL

Research is a cyclical process because it starts with a

problem and ends with a problem. For instance, a
researcher who completes his study states his findings and
draws up his conclusions and recommendations. In his
recommendations, many problems may crop up as other
subjects for the study, hence the cycle is repeated.
 ANALYTICAL

Research utilizes proven analytical procedures, gathering

data, whether historical, descriptive or any alternative
research methods . In historical research, the data
gathered focus on the past, in descriptive research, the
study focuses on the present situation, in experimental,
future, and in an alternative, either past, present, and the
future.
 CRITICAL

Research exhibits careful and precise judgement. A high

level of confidence must be established, i.e., at 1.0
percent or 5.0 percent level of confidence. Based on
these levels, the researcher is confidently precise in his
interpretations on whether the results are significant or
insignificant, or whether to reject or accept the
hypothesis.
 METHODICAL

Research is conducted in methodical

manner without bias using systemic
method and procedure.
 REPLICABILITY

The Research design and procedures are indicated or

repeated to enable the researcher to arrive at valid
conclusive results. Similarities and differences of
replicated researches can be compared. The more
replicated of researches there are, the more valid and
conclusive the results would be.
THAT IS ALL
