 Target
The world is facing a lot of problems these days that requires immediate
solution; there are questions arising that needs an answer; and cases that are to be
solved. The answers to all of these should be based from our creative minds and
not based on belief, guesses or mere theories. Thus, research plays a very
important role. Research requires us to plan and make use of a systematized
procedures in creating solutions to meet the needs of today’s generation. The hope

The main purpose of research is to inform action, to prove a theory and to

contribute to the developing knowledge in a field or study. It is of great importance
in all fields of specialization for it helps us to seek truth, information and
knowledge.
Research allows individuals to capture ways of looking at ideas and issues
and to think creatively about problems that have no simple answer. It paves way to
new ideas and discovery of things that will benefit man above all.
What is research?
Research is a careful consideration of study regarding a particular concern
or problem using a process of inquiry. According to the American sociologist Earl
Robert Babbie, “Research is a systematic inquiry to describe, explain, predict, and
control the observed phenomenon.
What is the importance of Research in Daily Life?
Research plays a very important role in our daily life. It gives as light to inquire for
the right information. It helps us develop the right attitude to not believe in
anything easily and most especially, it empowers us with knowledge and efficient
learning of new things.
To assimilate more, take time to read the following significant texts showing
the importance of research in our daily life.

1. Gain Essential Information: Research provides important information in

the different areas of interest. It helps you get acquainted with the process
and resources involved in your research.

2. To Make Changes: Research creates change as a result of intense study on

existing knowledge and policy.

3. To Enhance the Standard of Living: New inventions are made possible

through research that made the life of man comfortable. It resulted to the
advancement of knowledge leading to the development in different fields like
transportation and communication.

4. For a Safer Life: Discoveries resulted to improved life expectancy and health
conditions of human kind. New machines and drugs helped in treatment
and diagnosis of different diseases.
 5. To Know the Truth: The results of research helped us to mark out the thin
line between truth and lie.

6. To Explore the History: Research enables human to learn and understand

more about our forefathers and helps us learn from their mistakes and
experiences.

7. To Understand the Arts: Research helps us to understand and appreciate

the work of artists in literature, painting and other fine arts.

Characteristics of Research

1. Empirical: Research is based on direct experience or observation by the

researcher. Most researches are based on real-life situation.
2. Systematic: Research follows an orderly procedure based on valid
procedures and principles.
3. Controlled: In research, all variables except those that are tested are kept
constant.
4. Analytical: Research utilizes proven analytical procedure in gathering the
data.
5. Objective: Research is unbiased. All findings are logically based on data.
The Process of Research
There are a variety of approaches to research in any field of investigation,
irrespective of whether it is applied research or basic research. Each particular
research study will be unique in some ways because of the particular time, setting,
environment, and place in which it is being undertaken.
Nevertheless, all research endeavors share a common goal of furthering our
understanding of the problem and thus all traverse through certain basic stages,
forming a process called the research process.
An understanding of the research process is necessary to effectively carry
out research and sequencing of the stages inherent in the process.
These 8 stages in the research process

1. Identifying the problem.

2. Reviewing literature.
3. Setting research questions, objectives, and hypotheses.
4. Choosing the study design.
5. Deciding on the sample design.
6. Collecting data.
7. Processing and analyzing data.
8. Writing the report.
The research process outlined is a part and parcel of a research. It is an outline
of your commitment that you intend to follow in executing a research study.
Ethics in Research
Research Ethics provides guidelines for the responsible conduct of
research. It educates and monitors the conduct of researches to ensure high ethical
standards. The following shows why is it important to adhere to the ethical norms
in research:
a. Norms promote the aims of research such as knowledge, truth and
evidence of error.
b. Ethical standards promote the values that are essential to collaborative
work.
c. Ethical norms held researchers accountable to the general public.
d. Norms in research help establish public support, quality and integrity of
research.
Ethical Principles in Research

a. Honesty: Honestly report data, results, methods and procedures, and

publication status. Do not fabricate, falsify, or misrepresent data.

b. Objectivity: Strive to avoid bias in experimental design, data analysis, data

interpretation, peer review, personnel decisions, grant writing, expert
testimony, and other aspects of research.

c. Integrity: Keep your promises and agreements; act with sincerity; strive for
consistency of thought and action.

d. Carefulness: Avoid careless errors and negligence; carefully and critically

examine your own work and the work of your peers. Keep good records of
research activities.

e. Openness: Share data, results, ideas, tools, resources. Be open to criticism

and new ideas.

f. Respect for Intellectual Property: Honor patents, copyrights, and other forms
of intellectual property. Do not use unpublished data, methods, or results
without permission. Give credit where credit is due. Never plagiarize.

g. Confidentiality: Protect confidential communications, such as papers or

grants submitted for publication, personnel records, trade or military
secrets, and patient records.

h. Responsible Publication: Publish in order to advance research and

scholarship, not to advance just your own career. Avoid wasteful and
duplicative publication.

i. Responsible Mentoring: Help to educate, mentor, and advise students.

Promote their welfare and allow them to make their own decisions.

j. Respect for Colleagues: Respect your colleagues and treat them fairly.
 k. Social Responsibility: Strive to promote social good and prevent or mitigate
social harms through research, public education, and advocacy.

l. Non-Discrimination: Avoid discrimination against colleagues or students on

the basis of sex, race, ethnicity, or other factors that are not related to their
scientific competence and integrity.

m. Competence: Maintain and improve your own professional competence and

expertise through lifelong education and learning; take steps to promote
competence in science as a whole.

n. Legality: Know and obey relevant laws and institutional and governmental
policies.

Quantitative and Qualitative Research are two broad categories in

educational research. These two could differ in terms of purpose, type of data
collected and others.
Quantitative Research is defined as a systematic investigation of phenomena by
gathering quantifiable data and performing statistical, mathematical, or
computational techniques while Qualitative Research involves collecting and
analyzing non-numerical data (e.g., text, video, or audio) to understand concepts,
opinions, or experiences. It can be used to gather in-depth insights into a problem
or generate new ideas for research.

Discover

Qualitative Research is commonly called interpretative research. Its method relies

heavily on “thick” verbal description of a particular context being studied.
Generally speaking, qualitative research spends a great deal of time in the setting
being studied; rely on themselves as the main instrument of data collection; and
analyze data using interpretative lenses.
Characteristics of Qualitative Research
Design

a. Naturalistic: refers to studying real-world situations as they unfold

naturally; nonmanipulative and noncontrolling; the researcher is open to
whatever emerges.
b. Emergent: acceptance of adapting inquiry as understanding deepens and/or
situations change; the researcher avoids rigid designs that eliminate
responding to opportunities to pursue new paths of discovery as they
emerge.
 c. Purposeful: cases for study are selected because they are “information rich”
and illuminative. That is, they offer useful manifestations of the
phenomenon of interest; sampling is aimed at insight about the
phenomenon, not empirical generalization derived from a sample and
applied to a population.
Collection of Data

a. Personal experience and engagement: The researcher has direct contact with
and gets close to the people, situation, and phenomenon under
investigation.
b. Empathic neutrality: An empathic stance in working with study respondents
seek vicarious understanding without judgment [neutrality] by showing
openness, sensitivity, respect, awareness, and responsiveness; in
observation, it means being fully present [mindfulness].
c. Dynamic systems: There is attention to process; assumes change is ongoing,
whether the focus is on an individual, an organization, a community, or an
entire culture, therefore, the researcher is mindful of and attentive to system
and situational dynamics.
Analysis

a. Unique case orientation: Assumes that each case is special and unique.
b. Inductive analysis: Immersion in the details and specifics of the data to
discover important patterns, themes, and inter-relationships; begins by
exploring, then confirming findings, guided by analytical principles rather
than rules.
c. Holistic perspective: The whole phenomenon under study is understood as a
complex system that is more than the sum of its parts; the focus is on
complex interdependencies and system dynamics that cannot be reduced in
any meaningful way to linear, cause and effect relationships and/or a few
discrete variables.
d. Context sensitive: Places findings in a social, historical, and temporal
context; researcher is careful about the possibility or meaningfulness of
generalizations across time and space; emphasizes careful comparative case
analyses and extrapolating patterns for possible transferability and
adaptation in new settings.
Strengths and Weaknesses of Qualitative Research
Qualitative Research is more focused on exploring the issues, understanding
the actual problem and enabling oneself to answer all the questions. It is more
dependent on deriving the value of variables in their natural setting. The data via
this method is collected by asking open ended questions and serving with the direct
quotations. Qualitative can be beneficial in the following ways:

a. All the problems and the topics covered under this research are in detail.
b. This method majorly focuses on small groups which ultimately do not
require more expenses when compared to quantitative research.
c. On the emergence of new developed information and findings, the revision,
direction and framework of the data can be done easily quickly.
d. The data is collected from a small group which bounds it to be universal for
a large population.
 e. The data with this method is collected based on genuine efforts and gives a
clear vision on what can be expected.
Weaknesses of Qualitative Research

a. As the data is collected for a small group, due to which assumptions cannot
be made beyond the small group of people.
b. It becomes difficult to demonstrate, maintain and assess the rigidity of the
data.
c. Collection of statistical data is not easy and cannot be done solely by using
this method.
d. As the data is in big quantity, analysis and interpretation of the data takes
much time.
e. The responses of the subjects might be affected as the researchers are
bound to be present during the process of data gathering.
Kinds of Qualitative Research

a. Ethnography
A qualitative research method often used in the social sciences that is
often used in gathering data on human societies/cultures. Ethnography,
simply stated, is the study of people in their own environment through the
use of methods such as participant observation and face-to-face
interviewing. Data collection is done through participant observation,
interviews and questionnaires.

b. Phenomenology
Describes the structure of experience as they present themselves to
consciousness, without resources to theory, deductions or assumptions from
other discipline such as the social sciences. It seeks to achieve deep
understanding of the phenomenon by rigorous and systematic examination
of it. Its purpose is to describe essence of lived experiences.

c. Grounded Theory
An inductive technique developed for health-related topics. It is
emerged from the discipline of sociology. The term “grounded” means that
the theory developed from the research is grounded or has its roots from the
data from which It has derived.

d. Historical Research
Historical Research is the systemic collection and objective evaluation
of data related to past occurrence.

e. Case Study
A case study is a detailed study of a specific subject, such as a
person, group, place, event, organization, or phenomenon. It is used to test
theoretical models by using it in real world situation.
Importance of Qualitative Research Across Fields
a. Social Work
Qualitative Research Studies in social work represents the best
available research on emerging problems or application of evidence to diverse
population.

b. Marketing
Qualitative research in marketing can be used to test new ideas or
products and to gain a realistic view of how customers or clients would react
to that particular product.

c. Business
Data from quantitative research such as market size, demographics,
and user preferences provide important information for business decisions.
Qualitative research provides valuable data for use in the design of a product
including data about user needs, behavior patterns, and use cases. d. Sports
The results of qualitative research can inform stakeholders about
facilitators and obstacles to exercise, motivation and adherence, the
influence of experiences, beliefs, disability and capability on physical
activity, exercise engagement and performance, and to test strategies that
maximize physical performance.

e. Medicine
The goal of qualitative research is to help us gain an understanding as
to how or why certain things occur. Qualitative research seeks that
understanding through observation and interviews, both of which provide
insight into the research question.
f. Psychology
Qualitative research is an important alternative to quantitative
research in psychology. It generally involves asking broader research
questions, collecting more detailed data (e.g., interviews), and using non-
statistical analyses.

g. Arts
Qualitative is important in arts since with the use of this research
people could be able to reach new ideas and conclusions which will help people
improve arts and discover new techniques and any other more. h. Literature
The way one deals with the literature plays a crucial and guiding role
in the iterative process between theory and data because it determines how
existing theories are dealt with in the design and conduct of research. As
such, considerations as to when and how to use the literature acquire great
importance.

i. Agriculture and Fisheries

Interviews are a key element of qualitative research fisheries scientists
may incorporate to improve understanding of why fisheries operate as they
