WHAT IS
REASEARCH?

Aguinaldo(2002,p.2)
Research is a purposive , systematic, and scientific
process of gathering,classifying, organizing,
presenting, analyzing and interpreting data for the
solution of a problem, for prediction, for invention,
for the discovery of truth or for the expansion or
verificationof existing knowledge, all for the
preservation and improvement of the quality of
life.
WHAT IS
REASEARCH?
Sevilla et.al.(1992,p.2) defines “research
as searching for theory, for testing theory
or for solving a problem. It means a
problem exist and has been identified and
that the solution of the problem is
neccessary.”
WHAT IS
REASEARCH?
Andres(1998) defines research as a careful,
critical inquiry or examination in seeking
facts or principles;a diligent investigation to
ascertain something. It is unbiased
investigation of a problem based, insofar as
possible, on demonstrable facts, and
involves refined distinctions, interpretation,
and usually some generalization.

Calderon (1993,p.4) define research as a
purposive, systematic and scientific process of
gathering, analyzing , classifying, organizing ,
presenting and interpreting data for the solution
of a problem,for prediction, for invention, for the

KINDS OF
RESEARCH
ACCORDING TO
PURPOSE
1.BASIC OR PURE
RESEARCH

• Research is conducted
to develop theories and
principles, for
intellectual pursuit of
knowledge and acquire
learning.
• The inquiry is done for
knowledge sake.
2. APPLIED RESEARCH

• When the results of basic


research are used and or utilized
to address situation and or solve
problems.
• This happens when the theories
and principles obtained from
pure research are put to a test.
• The theories and principle
ofbasic research are subjected
to a test to find out if these have
practical application to specific
THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD OF
RESEARCH
Science is a method of
discovering and
acquiring reliable
knowledge.Reliable
knowledge is knowledge
that can be verified
because its veracity has
been established by a
reliable method.
THE THREE CENTRAL COMPONENTS

1.THE USE OF EMPIRICAL


EVIDENCE(EMPIRICISM)

2. THE PRACTICE OF LOGICAL REASONING


(RATIONALISM)

3. THE POSITION OF SKEPTICAL


ATTITUDE(SKEPTICISM)
FIVE STEPS INVLOVED IN THE
SCIENTIFIC METHOD OF
RESEARCH
1.The research problem should be clearly identified. This
may be an unexplained discrepancy in one’s field of
knowledge or agap to be closed.
2.Steps should be taken to define the problem more
precisely to establish its scope and limit.
3.Efforts should be exerted to search out every possible
solution. Ideas are considered and one’s imagination and
freedom of thoughts are allowed and should be
encourage.
4.Researcher should be able to project the consequences
of each of the possible solutions that have been
conceived.
FORMING RESEARCH GROUP
CHARACTERISTIC
NEEDED TO BE A
GOOD RESEARCHER
1.Knowledge -oriented
2.Open-minded
3.Hardworking
4.Resourceful
5.Scientific in attitude
COMMON PROBLEMS
ENCOUNTERED IN
RESEQARCH
1.Difficulty in finding or
conceptualizing a good research.
2.Scarcity or unavailabilty of updated
and relevant references.
3.Financial(limited budget or funds)
4.Time constraints.
5.How to put into writing one’s own
ideas.
6.Lack of teamwork among the group
members or inadequate assistance.
7.Uncooperative respondents or
official of an instituiton.
8.Personal problems get in the wayof
