RESEARCH
Asking Questions
Presentation / Activity
Inquiry
It is a learning process that motivates you
to obtain knowledge or information about
people, things,
places, or events. You do this by
investigating or asking questions about
something you are inquisitive about. It
requires to collect data, meanings, facts
and information about the object of your
inquiry, examine such data carefully.
In your analysis, you execute varied
thinking strategies that range from lower-
order thinking to higher-order thinking
skills such as inferential, critical,
integrative, and creative thinking.
Engaging yourself in many ways of
thinking, you come to conclude that inquiry
is an active learning process. (Baraceros
2016)
Research
Research is a process of executing various mental
acts for discovering and examining facts and
information to the accuracy and truthfulness of your
claims and conclusions about the topic of your
research. Research
requires you to inquire or investigate about your
chosen research topic by asking questions that will
make you engage yourself in top-level thinking
strategies of interpreting, analyzing, synthesizing,
criticizing, appreciating, or creating to enable you to
discover truths about many things you tend to
wonder about the topic
your research work. (Litchman 2013; Baraceros
2016)
Research is analogous to inquiry, in that,
both involve investigation of something
through questioning. However, the
meaning of research is more complicated
than inquiry because it does not center
mainly on raising questions about the
topic, but also on carrying out a particular
order of research stages.
