Activity 2: Content Notes (20 mins)

Instructions: Read and understand the concepts below and pay attention
to those terms that are written in bold. You may use your notebook in writing

CONCEPTS ABOUT
Research is defined as the scientific investigation of phenomena which includes collection,

presentation, analysis and interpretation of facts that links an individual’s speculation with reality. It is
the systematic study of trends or events which involves careful collection, presentation, analysis and
interpretation of quantitative data or facts that relates man’s thinking with reality.
Characteristics of Research:
1. Empirical. Research is based on direct experience or observation by the researcher. The collection
of data relies on practical experience without giving consideration to scientific knowledge or theory.
2. Logical. Research is based on the valid procedures and principles. Scientific study is done in an
orderly manner so that the investigator has confidence in the results. Systematic examination of the
procedures used in the research enables the investigator to draw valid conclusions.
3. Cyclical. Research is a cyclical process because it starts with a problem and ends with a problem.
4. Analytical. Research utilizes proven analytical procedures in gathering the data, whether historical,
descriptive, experimental, and case study.
5. Critical. Research exhibits careful and precise judgment. A higher level of confidence must be
established.
6. Methodical. Research is conducted in a methodical manner without bias using systematic method
and procedures.
7. Replicability. The research design and procedures are replicated or repeated to enable the
researcher to arrive at valid and conclusive results. Similarities and differences of replicated researches
can be compared.

1. Research-oriented 6. Resourceful
2. Efficient 7. Creative
3. Scientific 8. Honest
4. Effective 9. Economical
5. Active 10. Religious
A researcher who possesses these qualities is the kind of investigator the government needs
because he can respond to the socioeconomic development of the country and can compete globally.
Characteristics of the Researcher:

1. Intellectual curiosity. A researcher undertakes deep thinking and inquiry of the things, problems
and situations around him. He is keen to get information on these problems and situations often due to
3

unusualness and newness.

2. Prudence. The researcher is careful to conduct his research study at the right time and at the right
place wisely, efficiently, and economically.
3. Healthy criticism. The researcher is always doubtful as to the truthfulness of the results.
4. Intellectual honesty. An intelligent researcher is honest to collect or gather data or facts in order to
arrive at honest results. Honesty is the best policy of the researcher.
