The teacher will ask the question. What was the topic yesterday?
B. B. Presentation
Presentation 1. Drill/Activity:
Activity: WORD DETECTIVE
Directions: The teacher will give a piece of bond paper that contains
the puzzle. The students will Look for the words in the search word
puzzle. There are 15 words listed below to be found in the puzzle.
Encircle the words. Enjoy looking for them.
The group who got more found in the puzzle within 5 minutes is the
winner.
Guide Questions:
1.what do you feel upon doing the activity?
2.What are the words that you are able to in the word puzzle?
3.Based from the activity that you do; do you have an idea what would be our topic
for today?
C. Lesson Proper
What is “Research?”
Research is collecting data and information, learning and finding new things. It is
also an advanced knowledge which follows a systematic process of collecting and
analyzing information in order to understand more the phenomena under study.
Action research, thesis, dissertation, and case study are examples of research.
Being familiar with the following terms is helpful in understanding research more:
Variables are any quality of a person, group subject, event, condition or situation
that varies or takes on different values.
Examples are age, sex, business income and expenses, country of
birth, capital expenditure, class grades, eye color and vehicle type
Hypothesis is a logical supposition, a reasonable guess, and educated
conjecture. It provides a tentative explanation of a phenomenon under
investigation.
For example, a researcher might be interested in the
relationship between study habits and test anxiety. The researcher
would propose a hypothesis about how these two variables are
related, such as "Test anxiety decreases as a result of effective
study habits."
Sampling it is the process of selecting participants who are representatives
of a larger population – gain an understanding of a larger population.
For example, a random sample may include choosing the
names of 25 employees out of a hat in a company of 250 employees.
The population is all 250 employees, and the sample is random
because each employee has an equal chance of being chosen.
SMART is a good way to remember the fundamentals of research paper
writing, and to help prepare an author in writing a successful research paper.
▪ Specific: A research paper should be specific. It should maintain its focus on the
given subject of research - answering a specific research question - and not be
inconsistent or aimless as to convey information or make claims on other,
unrelated topics or subjects.
▪ Attainable: A research paper must provide a thesis statement, one that answers
the research question and contributes to the knowledge of the given subject. It
can't propose to answer a question that doesn't relate to real life or isn't based
on an existing body of knowledge.
▪ Time: A research paper cannot be written without the researcher knowing the
limits, timeframes, and focus of the required work. Without the writer /
researcher stating the scope and limitations of the research paper, it is likely
that the thesis statement will be hampered by an inability to answer the given
research question or focus on the given research subject.
By demographic characteristics
Narrow it down by age group, occupation, ethnic group, gender, etc.
e.g. challenges faced by international college graduates entering the
workforce
By relevant issues
Try to identify key issues related to your topic, especially ones that you have
an opinion on. You can turn your opinion into your thesis statement or
research question.
e.g. challenges faced by college graduates who are unable to find
meaningful or relevant work
By location
Focus on a specific country, province, city, or type of environment (rural vs.
urban).
e.g. challenges faced by college graduates entering the workforce in rural
Ontario
By timeframe
Decide whether you want to study recent events or a historical time period.
This will also help you decide how current the information you use must be.
e.g. challenges faced by college graduates entering the workforce during the
COVID-19 pandemic
By causes
You can take the perspective of looking for causes of an issue you are
researching.
e.g. Why do employers hire fewer college graduates?

Remarks The objectives set were attained. Students were able to define what is research and
get familiar with the technical terms that is used in research. Moreover, they were
able to understand the importance of knowing the technical terms in research.
Reflection Out of 40 students, 85 % have achieved mastery of the competency; thus, the
teacher can move forward to the next lesson.
