Etymologically, research come from “re” and
“search”. “Re” is prefix that means again and
“search” is a word which means to look for.
Therefore, research is to look for something
(Chapman 1979).
Research
There are two (2) things that we need to take note of in
this definition. First, research is not only about the
discovery of something unknown, it is coming up with a
new explanation of something that is known. Second,
research is a process. It is a process of searching for
something to solve an existing problem or difficulty to
solve.
Research
Research is also understood as a systematic
investigation or inquiry entailing collection of
data, documentation of critical information,
analysis, interpretation of information (Williams
2007).
Research
From the given definition, this highlights the
manner how research is conducted. It is
systematic. The question is, how does it becomes
systematic and what makes it systematic.
Research
 The term systematic entails the structure. To understand the word
system, just imagine your body. Are your hands located in your
ears? Or is your nose located on your chin? Of course, you will
reason out that your hands are located to where it should be and
your nose is located in the middle of your face.
Research
Research as systematic means it follows the
structure or method. Therefore, whenever
collecting data, documenting information,
analyzing, and interpreting information are
conducted, a particular method is used.
Research
 On the other hand, research can be also viewed as the formation
of new knowledge and the employment of previous or existing
knowledge into a new and creative way (O’Donnell 2012).
 Imagine these two (2) scenarios: mother giving birth to a baby
and a potter molding a pot. The creation of new knowledge can
be compared to a mother giving birth.
Researc
h stands for the research itself and the
The mother
baby is new knowledge. Thus, through research,
new knowledge is born. On the other hand, a
potter molding a pot can be paralleled to the use
of existing knowledge in a new creative way .
Researc
Here,hthe potter stands for the researcher,
the clay as the existing knowledge, and the
pot itself is a new knowledge made
creatively.
“Research is to see what nobody else
has see, and to think what nobody else
has thought.”

Lesson 2. Explains the importance of research in
daily life
Imagine a world without
Research. How does it look
like?
A world without research experiences no
progress. Without progress, there is no new
knowledge and coherently addressing
some life’s challenges.
Here are the five (5) importance of research to our
daily lives:
● Research aims for truth (Rolfe)

● Research improves quality of human life (Bornmann
2013)
● Research saves life (Cancer Research UK 2019)
● Research gathers necessary information (Igwenagu 2016)
● Research exploreshumanity (Lee, Tran, and Lee 2007)
The research aims for truth.
● We crave truth for no one has the

desire to live in lies (Rasmussen
2013).
● the main idea here is that research
provides us an explanation or solution
to particular problem based on truth
(Kasi 2009).
The research aims for truth.
Research improves the quality of human life.
● All of the technological

advancements are brought by
different researches (Gupta
2018). Without the people
who dedicated their lives for
the sake of humanity, we will
not have this kind of life.
Through research, it improves
our standard of living.
Research saves a life.
● Through the course of human history, research has

proven its worth and roles in our lives.
Research gathers the necessary information.
● Conducting research implies

gathering necessary data to
explain your problem and to
answer your particular questions.
Research explores humanity.
● Research likewise deals with

the investigation of culture to
understand and to appreciate
others’ practices, and beliefs
(Zion and Kozleski 2005)
