What is Research?
is a scientific approach of answering a research question, solving a research problem, or generating new knowledge through a systematic and orderly collection, organization, and analysis of data with the ultimate goal of making the findings of research useful in decision-making.
Research.
Research is the application of the scientific method in the study of a problem.
“Research is a great tool for teachers and students. During this process, the researcher learns, investigates, plans, creates a new strategy, and collects new information based on the results”. (Action research, week 14).
When do we call a research scientific?
Characteristics
-I t is based on empirical and measurable evidence subject to specific principles of reasoning;
- It consists of systematic observations, measurement, and experimentation;
- It relies on the application of the scientific methods and harnessing of curiosity;
- It provides scientific information and theories for the explanation of nature;
- It makes practical applications possible; and
- It ensures adequate analysis of data employing rigorous statistical techniques.
Characteristics of Research.
Characteristics
Empirical - based on observations and experimentation on theories.
Systematic - follows orderly and sequential procedure.
Controlled - all variables except those that are tested/experimented upon are kept constant.
Employs hypothesis - guides the investigation process
Analytical - There is critical analysis of all data used so that there is no error in their interpretation
Objective, Unbiased, & Logical - all findings are logically based on empirical.
3 Basic Operations of Research.
Basic Operations of Research.
- Data collection.
- Data analysis.
- Report writing.
Data collection.
Refers to observing, measuring, and recording data or information.
Data analysis.
On the other hand, refers to arranging and organizing the collected data so that we may be able to find out what their significance is and generalize about them.
Report writing.
Is the ultimate step of the study. Its purpose is to convey the information contained in it to the readers or audience.
Research Motivation – What makes one motivated to do research?
Research Motivation
- He might have genuine interest and curiosity in the existing body of knowledge and understanding of the problem;
- He is looking for answers to questions which remained unanswered so far and trying to unfold the truth;
- The existing tools and techniques accessible to him, and others may need modification and change to suit the current needs.

Precautions in Research.
Precautions in Research
- Research is efficient when it is of the best quality for the minimum expenditure, and the study is appropriate to the research context.
- Research is considered accurate or valid when the interpretation can account for both consistencies and inconsistencies in the data.
- Research is ethical when it can promote trust, exercise care, ensure standards, and protect the rights of the participants in the research process.
