OBJECTIVES

At the end of this chapter, the students


will be able to;
1. define research;
2. explain the importance of research in
the daily life of an individual; and
3. describe the characteristics of research
and the goals for conducting such.
WHAT IS RESEARCH?
Research follows a step-by-step process of
investigation that uses a standardized
approach in answering questions or solving
problems (Polit & Beck, 2004).
Research plays an important role in tertiary
education. Though there are many problems
confronted by higher education,
developments are realized through research.
After all, its main purpose is to answer a
question or to solve an issue (Palispis, 2004).
Research is a continuous undertaking of
making known the unknown (Sanchez,
2002). It entails an investigation of new facts
leading to the discovery of new ideas,
methods, or improvements. It is an attempt
to widen one’s outlook in life. It always
proceeds from the known to the unknown.
Thus, the end of research is to arrive at a new
truth.
Research is an investigation follows ordered
steps leading to a discovery of new
information or concepts (Sanchez, 1999)
Research is a very careful investigation of
something that purports the contribution of
additional or new knowledge and wisdom
(Bassey, as cited by Coleman & Briggs, 2002)
Research is a tested approach of thinking
and employing validated instruments and
steps in order to obtain a more adequate
solution to a problem that is otherwise
impossible to address under ordinary means
(Crawford, as cited by Alcantara & Espina,
1995)
CHARACTERISTICS OF
RESEARCH
1. The research should be
systematic.
MACROSYSTEM

MICROSYSTEM
2. The research should be
objective.
3. The research should be
feasible.
4. The research should be
empirical.
5. The research should be clear.
RESEARCH PARADIGM
It is an outline that guides the
researcher in conceptualizing and
conducting the research.
An effective research must address
these two important aspects:
 Research foundations
 Research methodology
RESEARCH
FOUNDATIONS
 It refers to FUNDAMENTAL
COMPONENTS OF RESEARCH such
as the:
Research problem
Purpose
Specific questions to be addressed
Conceptual framework
RESEARCH PROBLEM
It requires describing the
undesirable situations related
to the problem and the
needed knowledge or
information in order to solve
that problem.
PURPOSE
It describes how the study will fill
this “knowledge gap.”
To address this purpose, the
researcher must formulate
necessary questions that will help
distinguish the significant points of
the research.
CONCEPTUAL
FRAMEWORK
It is an outline or paradigm that
presents the topics to be
studied, the various variables
and contexts, and how these
relate to or influence each other.
RESEARCH QUESTIONS
 It may be either framed in a
quantitative (how much, how often, to
what extent) or qualitative (what, why,
how) manner.
 The possible answers to the research
questions are the hypotheses, which
will be either confirmed or rejected by
the data collected in the study.
RESEARCH
METHODOLOGY
 It describes how the researcher will answer the
research questions in a credible manner.
 Research methods are employed to address the
research purpose and gain new information and
insights to answer the problem.
 Review of literature
 Research approach and design
 Data collection
 Methods of analysis
 conclusions
REVIEW OF
LITERATURE
It analyzes the existing knowledge
regarding the research topic.
It identifies gaps in information
that may be addressed by the
research
It is also an important basis of the
conceptual framework.
RESEARCH APPROACH
AND DESIGN
It identifies what is the best means
to collect and analyze data in the
study.
The design is used to clarify and
improve the research problem
purpose, and questions.
DATA COLLECTION
It gives the methods to determine
who will be the participants in the
study, how the variables will be
measured, and how data will be
documented and collected.
DATA ANALYSIS
It consist of the strategies
and methods that makes
sense of the data to answer
the research problem and
questions.
CONCLUSION
 It summarizes the key results of the
study and discusses how these are
relevant to the research problem.
 At this point, the research addresses
the hypotheses and determines if they
are accepted or rejected.
 It also addresses the knowledge gap
and presents new insights into the
problem.
According to Niewsiadomy (2005),
the researcher serves different roles
in a study.
1. As principal investigator
2. As member of a research team
3. As identifier of researchable problems
4. As evaluator of research findings
5. As patient or client advocate during
study
6. As subject/ respondent/ participant
The following are the importance
of research:
1. Research provides a scientific basis for any
practice or methodology in any field or
discipline.
2. Research is undertaken for the continuous
development and further productivity in
any field.
3. Research helps develop tools for assessing
effectiveness of any practice and operation.
4. Research provides solutions to problems
concerning almost all issues
encountered in the different areas of
work.
5. Research impacts decision-making.
6. Research develops and evaluates
alternative approaches to the
educational aspects of any discipline.
7. Research aims to advance the personal
and professional qualifications of a
practitioner.
1. To produce evidence-based
practice.
2. To establish credibility in the
profession.
3. To observe accountability for the
profession.
4. To promote cost-effectiveness
through documentation.
