 Engineer knowledge and competencies – master learner
 Ethics at work and in life – integrity and honesty
 Navigate opportunities – optimism
 Valuing specialization – Authoritative Resources
 Inspire yourself and the people around you
 Logical thinking- apply reasoning to arguments
 Life long Learner –open to criticism
 Elevate your mental eyesight
 Characteristics of a research
1. Systematic- there are interrelated steps or
procedures a researcher has to observe in solving a
problem.
2. Objective – It is not based on guesswork. This is
because empirical data have to be gathered by the
researcher before making any conclusion or
proposing any solution to an identified difficulty or
problem.
3. Comprehensive – If a researcher is serious about
understanding the phenomenon, he/she has to
examine and analyze all its aspects or angles
before making a generalization or conclusion.
4. Critical – This means that procedures employed by
the researcher must be able to withstand critical
scrutiny by other researchers.
5. Valid – Whenever a researcher formulates
conclusions, these are based on actual findings.
7. Verifiable – Thesis is said to be verifiable as other
researchers can check on the correctness of its
results by replicating the study, based on the
methods and procedures employed by the
researchers.

8. Empirical – The generalization drawn by a

researcher is rooted upon hard evidence gathered
from information collected from real life
experiences or observations.
"Being a scientist means living on
the borderline between your
competence and your
incompetence. If you always
feel competent, you aren't doing
your job." --- Carlos Bustamante
(Molecular Biologist, UC-Berkeley)
Types of Research ( Based on Design)

1. Descriptive Research – endeavors to describe

systematically, factually, accurately and objectively a
situation, problem or phenomenon.
It seeks to describe “what is”.

2. Correlational/ Associational Research – probing the

significance of relationship between two or more factors.

3. Exploratory Research- This kind of study is undertaken

when the investigator is after probing or exploring ideas
where little is known about the research problem.
Feasibility and pilot study fall under this type of research.
4. Experimental Research- the researcher probes into
the cause and effect by exposing one or more
experimental groups to one or more treatment
conditions.

5. Ex-post Facto/ Causal –comparative research- the

investigator delves on analyzing possible effect of
a factor which cannot be manipulated or controlled.
6. Historical Research – the researcher attemps to
reconstruct the past objectively and accurately or to
explain an incident that happened in the past with
the use of data taken in the past.
7. Ethnographic research – this type of research is
done when the researcher is concerned with
explaining or describing a phenomenon holistically,
with the use of multiple data collection techniques.

8. Explanatory research- the researcher seeks to

clarify why and how a relationship exists between
two or more aspects of a situation or a
phenomenon. Ex. Why job stress contributes to
burnout? Why low morale can lead to low
productivity?
The Research Process
IDEA – GENERATING PHASE- identify topics
PROBLEM DEFINITION PHASE- Statement of the
problem
PROCEDURES DESIGN PHASE- methods and
procedures
DATA COLLECTION PHASE- gathering of data
DATA ANALYSIS PHASE- presentation and analyzing
the data
INTERPRETATION PHASE – Utilization of the Findings
COMMUNICATION PHASE – Defense
 RESEARCH THRUSTS AND PRIORITIES

The Thesis Subject: How to Make the
Right Decision ?
Step 1

Start thinking about some general topics within your

research area that sound interesting to you. List all of
them, do not neglect any ideas.
Techniques:
Individual Learning: Brain mapping, RECOM – Based,
Observation, Reflective Thinking, Journal Writing etc.
Group:
Brainstorming, CD inputs and outputs, Abstract Sharing
 Step 2

Get down to exploring possible research subjects from

your list. Basically, you need to identify whether:
this or the subject is directly related to your field;
it will be an interesting thesis subject for the research
community;
it will help you with the future career;
you will be able to get all necessary materials to
disclose this research subject.
Things to Consider in selecting a
Research Subject/ Topic
1. Knowledge- sufficient background, experience and
skills
2. Time – The nature of the research dictates how long
shall it be undertaken. ( 1 semester only to finish )
3. Affordability- making your research feasible
4. Accesibility – proximity of information
- openness of data for scrutiny of the
researcher
5. Applicability – It will contribute to the bank of
knowledge. How many will benefit from this?
Step 3

Now, make a new list of research subjects and

include only those items that meet the requirements
mentioned in the Step 2. It will be rather a
narrowed list that you have to discuss with an
advisor. Take all his/her comments seriously and
only then make the final choice of your thesis
subject.
A Research Adviser: Tactics on How
to Make the Right Choice

Some people compare the process of choosing a

research adviser to choosing a spouse. Well,
probably there are some similarities between
getting married and choosing a thesis adviser:
First off, you make rather a long-term commitment.
Second, you are seeking for support from another
person.
Third, with time relations between you and a thesis
adviser should become more solid.
Tactic 1
You, actually, need to start with defining several important
things about your project.
What are your research objectives?
Why do you want to research some specific field?
What contribution do you want to make?

A thesis adviser that you will choose should be able to

help you meet all these goals.
Tactic 2

Take a course or individual study

with a potential thesis adviser. In this way,
you will have an idea of his/her teaching
and working style, his/her fields of
interest and expertise.
Tactic 3
As for an interview with the potential thesis adviser,
do not be afraid to ask all questions that disturb
you, e.g.:
 What will your adviser’s expectations be as to the

quality of your project?

 Will he/she provide feedback?

 Will he/she be able to help with some resources,

tools, etc?
 How frequently will your thesis adviser meet with

you?
Tactic 4
Finally, you can interview past graduates
who have some experience of working with
your potential thesis advisor.

 Stating the Thesis Title and Problem

 The title is a broad question embodying the

essential variables , the relationships considered,
the population and other vital information that
present the entire study.

 It may contain key elements like, the independent

and dependent variables.

It is stated in declarative form.

 Standards in Writing a Title
1. The title must be concise. It contains only words
enough to hint the content of the research. Omit
phrases and words like;
-A Study of
- The Implications of
- - A Comparative Study of
- - An Assessment of
- -An Analysis of
- -Inquiry
- -Investigation
2. The title must be stated in declarative form, not in
interrogative form.

3. If the title exceeds in beyond one line, it must be

stated likeV-form ( Inverted Pyramid ).
Note: Likewise, no title shall be written in excess of
three lines regardless of the number of words,
otherwise it will not appear like not a title.

4. Use Times New Roman, Font Size 12, Double

Spaced, CAPITAL LETTERS,
 How to State the Problem?
 If your general idea is about:
Personnel Management
Comment: This is so broad which requires narrowing
down to a specific idea.
So, you need to focus it with the following
modification.

Effects of Monitoring Gadgets in the Behavior

Effects of Monitoring System in the
Behavior
Comment: The key words here are Effects,
Monitoring Technology and Behavior. But the
phrase monitoring system and the word
behavior are still broad and hence
nonparametric. What type of monitoring
system is this? What specific behavior do you
want to measure?
So we need to specify the problem into:

Effects of Closed-circuit Television in the

Work Ethics among the City Hall
Employees of San Juan

 Comment: The problem now focuses on:

The use of CCTV
Work Ethics-
Employees -
Filipino research authors ( Calderon and Gonzales,
2004) also taught analogous styles in writing title,
thus:

A Correlation Study on Human Relation Practices and Job

Satisfaction of Selected Store Managers in the Selected
Fast Food Chain in San Fernando Pampanga

The title contains these elements ( with modification ) :

1. Subject matter- HRP and JB
2. 2. Locale of the Study- San Fernando, Pampanga
3. 3. Population Involved- Store Managers
Human Relation Practices and Job Satisfaction of
Selected Store Managers in a Selected
Fast Food Chain

This is a brief and acceptable title. You will notice that

they deleted the “a correlation” and the San
Fernando Pampanga. Such information must have
been included in the text of research.
Foreign authors ( Mason and Bramble, 1997)
illustrated their concurring styles in stating the title,
thus:
A RESEARCH INVESTIGATION OF THE HYPOTHESIS
THAT THERE IS A RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN
COMPULSIVE PERSONALITY AND TEMPERAMENT
LEVEL IN URBAN AND RURAL SERVICE CREW IN
SAN FERNANDO PAMPANGA

The aforementioned authors reduced the title to a

concise and better form as shown here after:
COMPULSIVENESS AND TEMPERAMENT LEVEL IN
URBAN AND RURAL SERVICE CREW
COMPULSIVENESS AND TEMPERAMENT LEVEL IN
URBAN AND RURAL SERVICE CREW

This better version is evidently improved by its brevity

while it shows variables studied.

Another reason in eliminating phrases like “a study of”,

“A systematic consideration of”, or ‘ a research
investigation” or other unnecessary words is to
qualify the title to be included in an index or
catalog.

Personal computers and Internet are indeed seen as having the potential to improve
quality of life and well-being of older adults in a variety of ways (Dickinson & Gregor,
2006). They provide a neutral plateau where individuals can engaged in topics that
interest them (Karavidas, Lim & Katsikas, 2005). An extensive review by Wagner,
Hassanein and Head (2010) further substantiate this concept when the five (5) interesting
themes on reasons why older adults use computers were revelaed, namely: (1)
communication and social support (McMellon & Schiffman, 2010; Opalinski, 2001; Mann,
Belchoir, Tomita & Kemp, 2005; Thayer & Ray, 2006; Alexy, 2000; Morrell, Mayhorn &
Echt, 2004), (2) leisure and entertainment (McMellon & Schiffman, 2000; Opalinski, 2001;
Campbell, 2008), (3) information-seeking help (Tak & Hong, 2005; Flynn, Smith & Freese,
2006; Campbell, 2008; Macias & McMillan, 2008), (4) information-seeking education
(McMellon & Schiffman, 2000; Opalinski, 2001; Dorin, 2007), and (5) productivity (White
& Weatherall, 2000; Campbell, 2008). Behind the fact that technology use among older
adults poses a multidisciplinary topic, studies focusing on health have recently gained
momentum (Wagner, Hassanein & Head, 2010). Internet communication tools such as
electronic mail, instant messaging and video conferencing, as promising tools for Telehealth,
remains to be unexplored.
