Research material

1. HOW DID YOU COME UP WITH THE
ANSWER FROM THE ACTIVITY?

2. -Have you consulted anybody?
-Have you switched your
smartphone?
-Have you used internet?

3. By doing that, or other means to find
the answer, you are doing research.
You are now conducting research!

4. WHERE DID YOU APPLY
RESEARCH?

5. WHAT DID YOU DO ABOUT THIS?
EXAMPLE:
SOLVING MATH PROBLEMS
PLAYING ONLINE GAMES FOR THE
FIRST TIME

6. The process that you have done is research.
You had a problem
You established your methods on how to
solve your problem
Conducted a literature review or an actual
interview and survey
You came up with solutions

7. Research flows in the same manner.
Doing research does not necessarily
mean creating extraordinary things
like Mark Zuckerberg who developed
Facebook or even Zhang Yiming who
created Tiktok.

8. IMPORTANCE OF RESEARCH

9. 1. RESEARCH AIMS FOR TRUTH-We crave truth for no one
has the desire to live in lies (Rasmussen 2013) Research
is about establishing truth based on evidence or data.
2. RESEARCH IMPROVES THE QUALITY, AND SAVES
HUMAN LIFE. Through the course of human history,
research has proven its worth and roles in our lives. In the
past, when penicillin was not yet discovered, people just
die without proper medication. It was by the research of
Flemming that the first generation of antibiotics were
discovered (Pandey et al. 2014)

10. 3. Research provides a scientific basis for any practice or
methodology in any field or discipline.
•This is important since the entire system or operation
and all the stakeholders of an institution or organization
are connected. Without a scientific basis, someone may
be affected or may suffer.
•For example, in the field of medicine, a new drug must
first be tested to determine its efficacy in curing sickness
before it can actually be prescribed.

11. 4. Research is undertaken for continuous development
and further productivity in any field.
Any system that will be utilized in any organization must
first be tried to determine its value and it must be better
than the previous system used. Simply, research is the
result of advancing knowledge from the past.

12. 5. Research helps develop tools for assessing the
effectiveness of any practice and operation such as
psychological tests, intelligence quotient tests,
psychological assessments, among others. This
importance of research is observed in behavioral science,
physical science, and others as well.

13. 6. Research provides solutions to problems
concerning almost all issues encountered in the
different areas of work.
Some issues include the tardiness of employees,
incentives given to the staff, sportsmanship among
schools, and the implementation of a “clean and green”
program in school. This also applies to a higher level of
problems

14. 7. Research impacts decision-making.
It is a common mistake for people to make decisions
without solid information to back them up. It requires
time, effort and sometimes money to gather the
evidence needed for making a sound decision.
For example, for a teacher to change his or her teaching
methodology for the first-period and last-period classes,
he or she must conduct a study considering the time
element, enthusiasm to teach, academic standing of the
students, instructional aides used, and several other
factors.

15. 8. Research develops and evaluates alternative approaches
to the educational aspects of any discipline.
This enables the students to gain a broad knowledge and
specialized skills for safe practice. For example, research can
help determine whether the lecture is a better method than
experiment in teaching Science.
9. Research aims to advance the personal and professional
qualifications of a practitioner
