II. INTRODUCTORY CONCEPT

Conducting research is an important skill a student must develop not only

for academic completion but for future professional purposes as well. Student
like you should know what research is and its technicalities. Through research
our way of living has improved a lot. Communication, transportation, and most
specifically education become accessible, faster and easy. These are products
of research. Through this Learning Activity Sheet ( LAS ), you’ll get to know
what research is, its importance. Some of the technical terms in research are
also introduced for you to fully understand research.

What is research?
• Research is defined as the creation of new knowledge and/or the use of
existing knowledge in a new and creative way so as to generate new
concepts, methodologies and understandings. This could include synthesis
and analysis of previous research to the extent that it leads to new and
creative outcomes.

• Research is a careful consideration of study regarding a particular concern

or problem using scientific methods. According to the American sociologist
Earl Robert Babbie, “Research is a systematic inquiry to describe, explain,
predict, and control the observed phenomenon. Research involves inductive
and deductive methods.”
• Research is a process of systematic inquiry that entails collection of data;
documentation of critical information; and analysis and interpretation of that
data/information, in accordance with suitable methodologies set by specific
professional fields and academic disciplines.

Now that you know what research is, let us get to know its importance.

IMPORTANCE OF RESEARCH
1. Research expands your knowledge base. The most obvious reason to do
research is that you’ll learn more. The process of research opens up new
opportunities for learning and growth.
2. Research gives you the latest information. Research encourages you to find
the most recent information available. In certain fields, especially scientific
ones, there’s always new information and discoveries being made. With the
latest info, you’ll be better equipped to talk about a subject and build on ideas.
3. Research helps you know what you’re up against. In business, you’ll have
competition. Researching your competitors and what they’re up to helps you
formulate your plans and strategies. You can figure out what sets you apart.
4. Research builds your credibility. People will take what you have to say more
seriously when they can tell
you’re informed. Doing research gives you a solid foundation on which you
can build your ideas and opinions. When your research is good, people are
more likely to pay attention.
5. Research helps you narrow your scope. When you’re circling a topic for the
first time, you might not be exactly sure where to start. Most of the time, the
amount of work ahead of you is overwhelming. Whether you’re writing a paper
or formulating a business plan, it’s important to narrow the scope at some
point. Research helps you identify the most unique and/or important themes.
You can choose the themes that fit best with the project and its goals.
6. Research teaches you better discernment. Doing a lot of research helps
you sift through low-quality and high-quality information. The more research
you do on a topic, the better you’ll get at discerning what’s accurate and
what’s not. You’ll also get better at discerning the gray areas where
information may be technically correct but used to draw questionable
conclusions.
7. Research introduces you to new ideas. You may already have opinions and
ideas about a topic when you start researching. The more you research, the
more viewpoints you’ll come across. This encourages you to entertain new
ideas and perhaps take a closer look at yours. You might change your mind
about something or, at least, figure out how to position your ideas as the best
ones.
8. Research helps with problem-solving. Whether it’s a personal or
professional problem, it helps to look outside yourself for help. Depending on
what the issue is, your research can focus on what others have done before.
You might just need more information, so you can make an informed plan of
attack and an informed decision. When you know you’ve collected good
information, you’ll feel much more confident in your solution.
9. Research helps you reach people. Research is used to help raise
awareness of issues like climate change, racial discrimination, gender
inequality, and more. Without hard facts, it’s very difficult to prove that climate
change is getting worse or that gender inequality isn’t progressing as quickly
as it should. The public needs to know what the facts are, so they have a clear
idea of what “getting worse” or “not progressing” actually means. Research
also entails going beyond the raw data and sharing real-life stories that have a
more personal impact on people.
10. Research encourages curiosity. Having curiosity and a love of learning
take you far in life. Research opens you up to different opinions and new
ideas. It also builds discerning and analytical skills. The research process
rewards curiosity. When you’re committed to learning, you’re always in a place
of growth. Curiosity is also good for your health.

Aside from knowing the importance of research, there are different

technical terms that you need to know before you conduct & write your own
research. Study the technical terms below:

TECHNICAL TERMS USED IN RESEARCH

Title/Cover Page. Contains the paper's title, the author's name, address,
phone number, e-mail, and the day's date.
Abstract. It describes the essence, the main theme of the paper. It includes
the research question posed, its significance, the methodology, and the main
results or findings. Footnotes or cited works are never listed in an abstract.
Introduction and Statement of the Problem. A good introduction states the
main research problem and thesis argument.
Limitations of Study. Indicates what the researcher intends to do and not to
do.
Methodology. The approaches, tools, and techniques that researchers use to
study a problem. These methods include laboratory experiments, field
experiments, surveys, case studies, focus groups, ethnographic research,
action research, and so forth.
Literature Review. The research process uncovers what other writers have
written about your topic. It includes a discussion or review of what is known
about the subject and how that knowledge was acquired.
Main Body of Paper/Argument. This is generally the longest part of the
paper. It's where the author supports the thesis and builds the argument. It
contains most of the citations and analysis and focuses on the rational
development of the thesis with clear reasoning and solid argumentation at all
points.
Conclusion. After spending a great deal of time and energy introducing and
arguing the points in the main body of the paper, the conclusion brings
everything together and underscores what it all means. A stimulating and
informative conclusion leaves the reader informed and well-satisfied. A
conclusion that makes sense, when read independently from the rest of the
paper, will win praise.
Bibliography. List of cited sources or references.
Appendix. It contains material that is appropriate for enlarging the reader's
understanding, but that does not fit very well into the main body of the paper.
Such material might include tables, charts, summaries, questionnaires,
interview questions, lengthy statistics, maps, pictures, photographs, lists of
terms, glossaries, survey instruments, letters, copies of historical documents,
and many other types of supplementary material.
Data. Information collected through surveys, interviews, or observations.
Statistics are produced from data, and data must be processed to be of
practical use.
Data Analysis. The process by which data are organized to better understand
patterns of behavior within the target population. Data analysis is an umbrella
term that refers to many particular forms of analysis such as content analysis,
cost-benefit analysis, network analysis, path analysis, regression analysis, etc.
Hypothesis. A statement that predicts the relationship between the
independent (causal) and dependent (outcome) variables.
Qualitative Research. A field of social research that is carried out in
naturalistic settings and generates data largely through observations and
interviews. Compared to quantitative research, which is principally concerned
with making inferences from randomly selected samples to a larger
population, qualitative research is primarily focused on describing small
samples in non-statistical ways.
Questionnaire. A survey document with questions that are used to gather
information from individuals to be used in research.
Respondent. The person who responds to a survey questionnaire and
provides information for analysis.
Research Question. A clear statement in the form of a question of the
specific issue that a researcher wishes to answer using data from one or more
sources.
Sample. A group that is selected from a larger group (the population). By
studying the sample the researcher tries to draw valid conclusions about the
population.
Sample Size. The number of subjects in a study. Larger samples are
preferable to smaller samples, all else being equal.
Subjects. Those who participate in research and from whom data are
collected.
Thesis Statement. After a brief introduction of your topic, you state your point
of view on the topic directly and often in one sentence.
