Activity: You Needed Me

are their uses to our daily lives? How
did they make our lives easier?
Activity: You Needed Me
•How do you think the people who
invented these object come up with
these inventions?
•What could have happened if these
things were not discovered or invented?
•Will it make a difference in our lives?
•How?
•Those things that you saw are all
products of research.
•Before these things were made,
extensive research was done to come
up with an idea of inventing or
creating them.
•Even the process of creating them
involved studies and research.
•All of them were made possible
because of research.
Research is as important as any field of
study. Its significance cuts across all
disciplines- engineering, architecture,
medicine, arts and sciences,
education, management, tourism,
among others.
Research also benefits all strata of
society- people with diverse jobs,
different income rates, varying
financial status, or distinct social and
political capabilities.
As such, the following are the
importance of research:
1. Research provides a scientific basis
for any practice or methodology in
any field or discipline.
This is important because without
scientific basis, someone may be
affected or may suffer.
2. Research is undertaken for the
continuous development and further
productivity in any field.
Any system that will be utilized in any
organization must first be tried to determine its
value and it must be better than the previous
system used. Simply, research is the result of
advancing knowledge from the past.
3. Research helps develop tools for
assessing effectiveness of any
practice and operations.
Examples of this are psychological tests,
IQ tests, Psychological assessment, among
others. This importance is observed in
behavioral science, physical science and
others as well.
4. Research provides solutions to
problems concerning almost all
issues encountered in the different
areas of work.
This applies to basic problems (tardiness
of students or employees, implementation of
projects) and even higher level problems.
5. Research impacts decision-making.
It is a common mistake for people to
make decisions without solid information to
back them up. It requires time, effort, and
sometimes money to gather the evidence
needed for making a sound decision.
6. Research develops and evaluates
alternative approaches to the
educational aspects of any discipline.
This enables the students to gain broad
knowledge and specialized skills for safe
practice.
7. Research aims to advance the
personal and professional
qualifications of a practitioner.
Becoming a researcher helps you become
a critical-thinker, problem-solver, wide
reader, broad and open-minded person.
