(LESSON/OUTPUT TITLE)

Lesson : Basic Research versus Applied Research


Qualities of an Empirical Research Project

LEARNING TARGETS:

 Differentiate basic and applied research problems


 Recognize the application of research in solving problems
 Describe the qualities of a good research project
VALUES INTEGRATION:
 Appreciate the contribution of research in the expansion of human knowledge
 Exhibit a sense of responsibility as a scientist

EXPLAIN:

BASIC RESEARCH VERSUS APPLIED RESEARCH


 When conducting a research paper, it is important to realize the end goal of research. It is
the research conducted to contribute to the body of knowledge? It is in response to a
societal problem? The answer to these questions will determine the difference between a
basic research and an applied research. Both type of research follows the same steps of a
scientific inquiry to arrive at a conclusion.
 BASIC RESEARCH is designed to produce results that expand knowledge about a
particular phenomenon. It is a type of research that answers questions such as “What”,
“Why”, and “How”. The results and conclusion of a basic research are used to further our
understanding of scientific principles and processes. They may even be used to rectify
understanding about a certain phenomenon. However, they may not have immediate
commercial applications or may not necessarily solve a practical problem.
 APPLIED RESEARCH aims to solve a specific societal or environmental problem. The
knowledge generated has a specific commercial value, , which may be used to develop a
products, procedure, or service. The aim goal of an applied research is to discover a
solution to a practical problem.

QUALITIES OF AN EMPIRICAL RESEARCH PROJECT


 One of the goals of conducting research is to contribute to the existing body of
knowledge. Thus, it is important for researches to exert effort, diligence, and hard work
when conducting research projects. The qualities of an empirical research project are as
follows:

1. The research project should be novel. It should at the very least, contribute to the
existing knowledge in science.
2. It has to be exhibit originally well as critical and independent thinking.
3. It should provide a background of the study, identify research problem and specific
research questions, explain the significance of the study, synthesize and identify gaps
in related literature, provide replicable and appropriate methodologies, interpret and
analyze data accurately, and offer sound conclusion and recommendations.
4. An empirical research must be started by looking into available scientific sources of
information that will help the researcher understand a topic or a problem.
5. An empirical research must have a research design that is logical and rational based
on existing scientific principles and theories.
6. One of the hallmarks of scientific investigation is that experimental results and
conclusions must be verifiable and repeated by others. The research therefore
contains methods that are clearly and succinctly written such that other researchers
can repeat the procedures. Procedures must be carefully written for those who wish to
replicate the study.
7. A research project should address a real-world problem issue. The significance of a
research project must be clearly stated based on a identified gap (or problem) in the
existing body of knowledge. The research findings must be generalized and
applicable to the society as a whole.
