Defining (Identify) Research

Our world is full of mysteries that will create many wonders in our life.
Human as we are, we must admit that we cannot answer all the whys
around us especially those who are beyond our comprehension but we
never stop asking questions and trying to find the answers to these
questions. It is undeniable that human beings are full of curiosity because
they are born rational. According to Francisco, Paul Micah, et.al,
Rationality refers to the ability of a human person to think and reason out.
Thus, they always examine solutions to a lot of questions surrounding
their life.
Upon finding answers to the questions, we have also such ability to
search for truth, validating what is relevant and rejecting the not essential
information that we have searched. Knowledge is not simply something
that pops out of nowhere; we must also validate if the knowledge
produced is a valid one. Therefore, research becomes important in this
context.
Research is a systematic process of gathering information,
interpreting information, and analyzing information to resolve a
specific problem (Francisco et al., 2016). The root word “re” from
research means “again” so research means “searching again” for
information that already exists but needs to be strengthened and
emphasized.
The research includes any gathering of data, information, and facts for
the advancement of knowledge (Shuttleworth, 2011).

Nature of Inquiry

The term research is very similar to the word inquiry since this word is
the Greek derivation of research. Inquiry means a process that is
done using scientific methods. This is to look for information by asking
various questions about the thing you are curious about. Both involve
investigative work in which you are searching for information and
examining the object of your search.
An inquiry is a learning process that motivates you to obtain knowledge
or information about people, things, places, or events (Baracero, 2016).

Ways of Inquiring:
1. Investigating or asking questions about something you are
inquisitive about.
2. Collect data, meaning, facts, and information about the object of
your inquiry and examine such data carefully.
3. Execute varied thinking strategies that range from lower-order to
higher-order thinking skills (inferential, critical, integrative and
creative thinking)
