ENGLISH 10

Research is a process of systematic inquiry that

entails collection of data; documentation of critical
information; and analysis and interpretation of that
data/information, in accordance with suitable
methodologies set by specific professional fields and
academic disciplines.
• “Research is a careful investigation or inquiry especially
through search for new facts in any branch of knowledge."
(Rocco, 2011)

• "Research is systematic investigation to establish the facts."

(Creswell, 2008)

• “Research means "gathering and analyzing a body of

information or data and extracting new meaning from it or
developing unique solutions to problems or cases."
(Cohen, N. & Arieli, T., 2011)
According to Creswell (2008), research is a process of
steps used to collect and analyze information to
increase our understanding of a topic or issues.

Three steps:
• Pose a question;
• Collect data to answer the question, and;
• Present an answer to the question
Using CARS Model and integrating related literature

Using Quantitative and Qualitative Methodology

Using graphs, charts, tables, excerpts, and/or statistical

computations
What is the topic and why is it worth studying?

What did you do?

What did you find? What is the significance of your results?

What can you conclude from the results of your study?
 What is this paper called and who wrote it?

•
What is the topic and why is it worth studying?

The introduction indicates the research problem or

question, presents essential background
information, and discusses the study's purpose and
significance.
What did you do?

A part that describes how the research was

conducted. It usually includes a description of the
participants/subjects, the study design, the
materials used, and the study method.
What did you find? What is the significance of your
results? What can you conclude from the results of
your study?

Results - a section that discusses the data obtained

and the results of any statistical tests that were
performed. It may also begin with an explanation
of the analysis process employed.
What did you find? What is the significance of your
results? What can you conclude from the results of
your study?

Discussion - discusses and analyzes the findings,

linking them to the research aims and preceding
literature. It examines the study's implications,
limits, and possible future directions.
What did you find? What is the significance of your
results? What can you conclude from the results of
your study?

Conclusion - summarizes the research's important

points, restates the thesis or study purpose, and
discusses the findings' overall relevance. It should
provide the reader with a thorough knowledge of
the study's contributions.

Basic Research Experimental Research

Correlational Research Exploratory Research

Descriptive Research
• The primary goal of applied research is to find solutions, give
information, and incorporate social research data into decisions
to solve problems that involve substantial risks.
• A scientific study and research aimed at solving practical
problems. Applied research is used to solve everyday issues,
heal illnesses, and produce novel technology, rather than simply
acquiring knowledge.
• Basic (aka fundamental or pure) research is driven by a
researcher's curiosity or interest in a scientific subject. The
primary motivation is to extend human knowledge, not to
create or invent something.
• The primary goal of basic research is to investigate and
broaden human knowledge by seeking answers to fundamental
problems and discovering new facts or principles about the
natural world.
• The goal of this kind of scientific study is to determine the
relationship between two or more variables. A correlational
study seeks to ascertain whether a variable changes and how
much the other parts of the observed system change.
• It attempts to establish a relationship/association/correlation
between two or more variables that do not lend themselves
easily to experimental manipulation.
• A descriptive study refers to a study that accurately describes
the features of a certain individual, circumstance, or group.
Descriptive research is also known as statistical research.
• These studies are used to find new meaning, describe what
existing, determine the extent with which something occurs, and
categorize data.
• This research focuses mostly on the culture of a group of
people, which includes shared qualities, language, behaviors,
organization, values, norms, and material things, as well as
evaluating human lifestyle.
• It includes systematic data gathering, description, and analysis
in order to establish theories of cultural behavior.
• Experimental research is an objective, methodical, and controlled
investigation that aims to predict and control occurrences while
also investigating probability and causality among specified
variables.
• It involves developing or replicating a phenomenon by
manipulating its variables under highly controlled settings in
order to identify or uncover its effect on another independent
variable or item. The phenomena to be examined is measured
using study and control groups and in accordance with the
scientific method.
• Exploratory research is a kind of research that is conducted to
address a problem that has yet to be precisely defined.
Exploratory research aids in the determination of the appropriate
research design, data gathering method, and subject selection.
• Because exploratory research focuses on the study of unstudied
phenomena, it depends less on theory and more on data
collection to uncover patterns that explain these events.
“If a man has a hundred sheep and one of
them wanders away, what will he do?
Won’t he leave the ninety-nine others on
the hills and go out to search for the one
that is lost? And if he finds it, I tell you the
truth, he will rejoice over it more than over
the ninety-nine that didn’t wander away!”
– Matthew 18:12-13
