1.prepares a plan and a focus on


issues and ideas in their
respective field
It is sure that you have learned so
much about qualitative and
quantitative research methods from
your previous research classes. With
that, you are now ready to carry out
your best research ideas about any
topic that interests you the most!

Why do we need to plan our
research work?
Why do we need a
careful execution of
our plan?
In order to be meaningful and
successful research , serious planning
and careful execution are necessary. It
needs time and proper organization of
things and ideas. Preparedness is the
key!
5
five (5) things worth considering when doing a research
work (Moore, 2009).

1. Never choose a topic that is out of personal


interest. The success rate of your research work is
equal to the level of your interest and drive to do such
a research. It is always easier to do something that you
really like to do and be engaged with. Do not let
yourself in the situation of losing that high level of
enthusiasm towards your own research.

work Moore (2009).
2. Never use needless words. Less is more.
Sometimes, you would think that having so
much to say when it comes to research is an
advantage. However, we have to realize that
the longer or the wordy our sentences
become, the more they appear less relevant
and needless to be listened to or read.

work Moore (2009).

3. Keep thoughts intact.


Establishing that sense of focus on
your research paper is one of the
most important characteristics that
you should always observe.
Clattering ideas will not make your
paper enticing.

work Moore (2009).

4. Don't let failure distract you. Failure


is normal. It is okay to fail at times in
order for us to realize what we have to
do. Failure is an opportunity to recreate
and refine our research work at its best.
Do not be afraid to fail!

work Moore (2009).

5. Always consult the opinion of other people.


Feedback from others especially of a more
knowledgeable others is always good to hear. It
widens our understanding and opens higher
chances of making the research better!
Collaboration and teamwork do not only make
the task lighter, but rather more successful!
Hint:

Always keep and observe these simple


yet useful reminders as you push through
in your quest towards becoming the best
researcher you could ever be!

What is research interest?

It pertains to personal interest that has been screened


and chosen by means of its meaning, coverage,
relevance and focus.
After refining your research interest, you will be able
to have a preliminary topic. This topic is already
researchable, but should still be narrowed where
gaps will arise. Check how to perform a few more
steps below to construct your research topic. 12
The Research Plan

A research plan is a document that includes


preliminary and basic information about the research
work that you would like to do. It may contain details
about the topic that you intend to do, its importance
or significance, the steps that you have already done,
and the next actions that you are going to do in order
to meet your targets or until you have answered your
research questions. 13
Parts of Research Plan

information. For a
Senior High School Learner like you, it would be beneficial

A. Complete Name

You may have heard about Gantt Chart of activities.
This section contains the same concept but in
simplified and detailed format in order for you to
