IV. Module Description:

The entrance of the 21st Century marks the beginning of the new revolution in our society.
The revolution known to others as the 4th Industrial Revolution introduces innovations in
the field of science, technology and communication, emergence of a knowledge-based
economy, and inventions of Artificial Intelligence (AI).

This great leap in our society benefited us more, and made our life easier and convenient.
It created new norms and traditions that will mold us, our community, and the society. It
builds strong invisible bridges that connects individuals and nations instantly. All these
things are possible because of the pursuit of human kinds for learning, power, and
knowledge. That quest is also called research. Research involves investigative work in
which individual/s seek information about something by searching or examining the
phenomenon or object. It is to discover truths by studying the chosen topic scientifically;
meaning, by going through a systematic way of doing things.
