• One goal of education is knowledge acquisition.
However, education is not just stocking your brain
with knowledge, but it also encourages you to use
acquired knowledge for a deeper understanding of
the world – an understanding that inspires you to
create, construct, or produce things for the
betterment of not only your own life, but of the
whole world as well.
Inquiry vis-à-vis Research
Both inquiry and research encourage you to
formulate questions to direct you to exact
information you want to discover about the object
of your curiosity, although the core word for both
inquiry and research is investigation or questioning,
they are not exactly the same in all aspects.
Research includes more complex acts of
investigation than inquiry because the former
follows a scientific procedure of discovering truths
or meanings about things in this world.
Determine whether INQUIRY or RESEARCH is
applicable to the given situations. Check the
corresponding column of your answer.

 RESEARCH
ACTIVITIES
• Identifying The Topic/Problem
• Gathering Data
• Making Theories
• Formulating Hypotheses
• Analyzing Data
• Drawing Conclusions
NOTE: The data you work on
in research do not come
mainly from yourself but also
from other sources of
knowledge like people, books
and artworks, among others.
• Give acknowledgement to owners of all
sources of knowledge involved in your
research work.
• Giving credit to people from whom you
derived your data is:
*A way of thanking the authors to their
contribution to the field
*A way of establishing validity and reliability
of the findings of your research that ought to
serve as instrument for world progress.
 CHARACTERISTICS OF
RESEARCH
• Research is a scientific, experimental, or inductive manner of
thinking. Starting from particular to more complex ideas, you
execute varied thinking acts that range from lower-order
thinking strategies reflected by these research activities:
identifying the topic or problem, gathering data, making
theories, formulating hypotheses, analyzing data, and
drawing conclusions. Cognitively driven terms like empirical,
logical, cyclical, analytical, critical, methodical, and replicable
are the right descriptive words to characterize research.
 Methods of Research
Depending on your topic
and purpose, you are free to
choose from several
approaches, methods and
types of research.
