PANGASINAN STATE UNIV
 STATUS OF RESEARCH BACKGROUND AMONG MASTER TEACHERS IN REGION 1 (N. MEDRANO, 2018)
• MASTERS DEGREE GRADUATE
• BEGINNER I THE CONDUCT OF RESEARCH
• ATTENDED FEW TRAININGS IN RESEARCH
• HIGHLY AWARE OF RESEARCH AGENDA & POLICIES
• FACTORS HINDERING THEIR CONDUCT OF RESEARCH: LIMITED BUDGET, MULTIPLE ASSIGNMENTS, LIMITED TIME
• RESEARCHES NOT FULLY UTILIZED & DISSEMINATED
• FEW PUBLICATIONS & PRESENTATIONS
• FEW WRITTEN FINAL RESEARCH REPORTS

THUS, BASICALLY RESEARCH SHOULD BE PRACTICED EARLY IN SCHOOL AND BE EMBRASED BY PROFESSIONALS.
 FOR APPLIED TRACK SUBJECTS
STEM
On INQUIRIES, INVESTIGATION, IMMERSION THROUGH
LABORATORY WORK
INQUIRIES AND INVESTIGATION ARE MOSTLY
QUANTITATIVE
PROBLEMS ARE MOSTLY MEASURABLE, SITUATIONAL BUT
COULD BE IN SITU OR EX SITU
COLLECTING DATA IS THROUGH EXPERIMENT AND
INVESTIGATION
ANALYSIS OF DATA NEEDS HYPOTHESIS TESTING AND
STATISTICS
CONCLUSIONS ARE REQUIRED AND COULD BE APPLED TO BE
GENERALIZED
MAKES A THEORY, SUPPORTS A THEORY
DEDUCTIVE
ABM, HUMMS, TVL, GAS, ARTS & DEIGN, SOCIAL SCIENCE
IMMERSION, INQUIRY, INVESTIGATION
THEY ARE MOSTLY QUALITATIVE PROBLEMS BECAUSE THEY
NEED DESCRIPTIONS
PROBLEMS NEED FOCUS ARE SITUATIONAL , NATURALISTIC
COLLECTING DATA IS THROUGH INTERVIEW, OBSERVATION,
TIANGULATION, PARTICIPATIVE OBSERVATION
ANALYSIS OF DATA IS THROUGH IDENTIFICATION OF THEMES
AND PATTERNS
CONCLUSIONS DOES NOT CONTRIBUTE TO GENERALIZED
PATTERNS BECAUSE IT IS SPECIFIC TO A CASE
PROVES OR CONTRIBUTE TO A THEORY
INDUCTIVE
TOPICS FOR QUALITATIVE RESEARCH

1. FACEBOOK CAN BE GOOD FOR BUSINESS: WELCOME TO THE NEW AGE OF BRANDING.
2. TEEN-AGE STUDY HABITS IN THE 21ST CENTURY
3. GLOBAL TRENDS AND EXPERIENCES OF DIFFERENT SMALL MEDIUM COMPANIES.
4. IS IT GOOD FOR SOCIETY WHEN WE SHARE PERSONAL INFORMATION ONLINE
5. IMPACT OF THE MEDIA ON TEENAGERS’ SELF-ESTEEM
6. PARENTS’ DIVORCE EFFECT ON A CHILD BEHAVIOR AND STUDIES
7. FAVORITE CARTOON CHARACTER (ANIMAE) AMONG HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS
 BASIC STEPS IN RESEARCH ( JOURNAL TYPE)

THE PROBLEM
* INTRODUCTION- background of the study (what is the present status of the
phenomenon?
What is interesting event about the study? What is the core
problem? What are the causes? What are the effects?
Objectives (rationale)
Related literature and studies- discussed thematically & within
the bounds of the of the variables in the problem/objectives

Check: (If in the discussions your related readings could support your findings then its really related. It it can not explain /support your
data/findings your related readings has no bearing at all then delete.)
METHODOLOGY ( DESIGN) RESEARCH 1 (QUALITATIVE) RESEARCH 2 (QUANTITATIVE)

• QUALITATIVE RESEARCH
-FOCUSES ON INSIGHTS AND UNDERSTANDING OF INDIVIDUAL PERCEPTIONS
-OBTAINS RICH, IN-DEPTH & VALID DATA WHICH ALMOST ALWAYS RELATE TO NON-EXPERIMENTAL STUDIES
-MAKES IN-DEPTH DESCRIPTIONS OF PEOPLE, EVENTS AND DATA COLLECTED THROUGH UNSTRUCTURED PEOPLE,
EVENTS, DATA THROUGH OBSERVATIONS, INTERVIEW AND PARTICIPANT OBSERVATION
-USES INDUCTIVE APPROACH
-OPEN TO IDEAS NOT CONFINED TO THEORIES
-PUTS TOGETHER COMPLEX DATA DERIVED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES, METHODS TO INTENSIVE REFLECTION
 TYPES OF QUALITATIVE RESEARCH
a. PHENOMENOLOGICAL STUDIES
EXAMINES LIVED EXPERIENCES OF INDIVIDUALS, SOCIETY ABOUT A PHENOMENON THROUGH DESCRIPTIONS
EXAMPLES:
-STRESS & ANXIETY LEVEL OF BUSINESSMEN AND BUSINESSWOMAN
-STUDENT- SINGLE PARENT RELATIONSHIP
-LIVED EXPERIENCES OF TEACHERS (DESIGNER) IN SIAPAR ISLAND (URBAN AREA)
-PSYCHO-SOCIAL & EMOTIONAL TRAUMA EXPERIENCED BY CHILDREN OF SEPARATED OVERSEAS PARENTS
-HUSBANDS EXPERIENCES OF FAMILY AND CAREER
-WOMAN EXPERIENCING PRE MENAUPOSAL ANXIEY
-STUDENTS’ INVOLVEMENTS WITH COMPUTER GAMES
 B. ETHNOGRAPHIC STUDIES
COLLECTION OF DATA ON THE LIFESTYLE & DAILY ACTIVITIES OF ETHNICS, INTERPRETATION
OF CULTURAL & SOCIAL BEHAVIOR OF PEOPLE IN GROUP OR SYSTEM. HOW CULTURE IS
COMMUNICATED AND PORTRAYED.

• EXAMPLES
- LIFESTYLE, BELIEFS & HEALTH PRACTICES OF CALL CENTER AGENTS
- HEALTH HABITS OF AETAS IN MT. PINATUBO
- -PARENTAL STYLE, ATTITUDE AND CHILD REARING PRACTICES OF SINGLE PARENTS
- STUDY HABITS OF TOPNOTCHERS IN THE LICENSURE EXAMS
- ATTITUDE AND BEHAVIOR OF BULLY CHILD
- ATTITUDE AND BEHAVIOR OF COMPUTER GAME ADDICTED CHILDREN
- THE ART OF TEACHING SCIENCE
- INNOVATIVENESS OF PHOTOGRAPHERS AND DESIGNERS
- RESOURCES FULLNESS OF MILLENNIAL STUDENTS IN TVL, GAS AND HUMMS CLASSES
- SCIENCE PROCESSES & SKILLS PRACTICED BY APPLIED TRACK SUBJECT STUDENTS
C. GROUNDED THEORY
REFER TO ANALYSIS OF DATA LEADING TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF A THEORY
DATA INCLUDE IN-DEPTH INTERVIEW & OBSERVATIONS OF PARTICIPANTS TO
GENERATE COMPREHENSIVE EXPLANATIONS OF PHENOMENA GROUNDED IN REALITY.

• EXAMPLES
-TEACHER EXPERIENCES WITH A HIGH RISK SLOW READER
-SOCIO-CULTURAL DEVELOPMENT OF CHILDREN WITH MULTILINGUAL FAMILIES
-AT THE END OF THE ROAD: EXPERIENCES OF 4TH STAGE CANCER PATIENT
-SENSORY TESTING (COOKING)
D. HISTORICAL STUDIES
INVOLVE EVALUATION & SYNTHESIS OF PART EVENTS IN ORDER TO SHED LIGHT ON
PRESENT BEHAVIOR, TRENDS AND PRACTICES

• EXAMPLES
-MARCOS’ POLITICAL POWER WHICH EFFECTED CHANGE IN DUTERTE’S ADMINISTRATION
-SIGNIFICANT ACTORS OF CHANGE AND THEIR IMPACT ON PRESENT POLITICAL MODALITIES
-SIGNIFICANT ICONS AND THEIR IMPACT ON STUDENT’S BEHAVIOR
-TECHNOLOGIES SIGNIFICANT CHANGES ON STUDENTS’ BEHAVIOR AND PERFORMANCES
E. CASE STUDIES
IN-DEPTH ANALYSES OF PEOPLE OR GROUPS OF PEOPLE IN RELATIOS TO ISSUES &
PROBLEMS (EDUCATION, ECONOMY), HISTORY, GROWTH, DEVELOPMENT PATTERNS,
CIRCUMSTANCES EFFECTING THE CLIENT UNDER STUDY. THIS LEADS TO FORMULATION AND
IMPLEMENTATION OF EDUCATIONAL PLAN SPECIFIC TO A CASE

• EXAMPLES
- LIFESTYLE OF COMPUTER ADDICTED STUDENT
- FAVORITE CARTOON CHARACTER OF SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS
- CHOICES OF PRIME TIME SHOWS AMONG SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL
- THE BABE IN THE CITY
- MUSIC GENRE AND WORD ANALYSIS OF SONGS LIKED BY INTELLEGENT STUDENTS
FIELD STUDY
NATURAL INVESTIGATIONS DONE IN THE COMMUNITY

• EXAMPLES
- NATURAL INVESTIGATIONS AT HOME, CLASS, SLUM AREAS, -SCHOOL PROJECTS
- POOR MAN –RICH MAN HOME PROJECTS
- SCHOOL PROJECTS
BIOGRAPHIES
EXPLORES THE LIFE OF AN INDIVIDUAL LIFE, DOCUMENTS SIGNIFYING
TURNING POINTS OR SIGNIFICANTCANT MOMENTS IN THEIR LIFE/

• EXMPLES:
- B1 AND B2: A PICTURE OF TRUE FRIENDSHIP

- THE LIFE AND IDEALS OF MARCOS

- -BENIGNO AQUINO: A PORTRAIT OF A TRUE FILIPINO

- YOU CAN ALLOW STUDENTS TO WRITE BIOGRAPHY OF THEIR FAMOUS HERO IN THEIR LIFE. THIS INCLUDES PERSONAL HISTORY, GROWTH, DEVELOPMENT PATTERNS, SIGNIFICANT
ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND THE IMPLICATIONS OF THESE TO THE INDIVIDUALS AND SOCIETY.
HOW TO DEVELOP A THEME
IN OTHER WORDS QUALITATIVE RESEARCH IS RICH IN 1) DESCRIPTION,
2) PATTERNS, 3) IMPACT, & 4) DEVELOPMENTS

WHAT IS A THEME?
DATA ANALYSIS FOR A CASE STUDY EVALUATION IS PATTERN MATCHING.
PATTERN MATCHING CAN BE BETWEEN THEORIZED AND OBSERVED
VARIABLES, WHETHER PROCESS OR OUTCOME VARIABLES. THERE
SHOULD BE FOCUS ON THE OBJECTIVE/ PROBLEM. THE EVOLVING
PATTERNS SHOULD BE FOCUSED AS A THEME.
