1. DEFINE RESEARCH PROBLEM: What is the
problem?
2. REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE: What
evidence is already presented?
3. FORMULATING HYPOTHESIS: How are we
going to find/look for the answer to questions
being studied?
 BASIC STEPS IN THE
RESEARCH PROCESS
4. RESEARCH DESIGN: Where will the study be shown
and with what population?
5. COLLECTING DATA: Are we ready to gather the
data? Where do we find the data?
6. ANALYZING DATA: How do the data answer the
research queries?
7. INTERPRET AND REPORT: What are the implications
of the results?
 WHAT IS RESEARCH?

The scientific investigation of

phenomena which includes
collection, presentation, analysis and
interpretation of facts that lines an
individual‘s speculation with reality.

Characteristics of
Research
 CHARACTERISTICS OF
RESEARCH
 Empirical. Research is based on direct
experience or observation by the researcher.
 Logical. Research is based on valid
procedures and principles.
 Cyclical. Research is a cyclical process
because it starts with a problem and ends with
a problem.
 CHARACTERISTICS OF
RESEARCH
 Analytical. Research utilizes proven
analytical procedures in gathering the data,
whether historical, descriptive, and
experimental and case study.
 Critical. Research exhibits careful and
precise judgment.
 CHARACTERISTICS OF
RESEARCH
 Methodical. Research is conducted in a
methodical manner without bias using
systematic method and procedures.
 Replicability. The research design and
procedures are replicated or repeated to
enable the researcher to arrive at valid and
conclusive results.
General Research Tips
 RESEARCH TIPS
 Go for topics that you are genuinely interested
in.
 Don’t choose a topic because it is easy or
trending. Rather, pursue a topic that you can
personally advocate for.
 Be consistent. It means that you have to stay
rooted on the concept and purpose of your
research.
 RESEARCH TIPS
Research shows just drinking 4 oz. of
water can reduce the intensity of your
anxiety.
 Is this true?
 How will you know if this claim is valid
and reliable?
