ETHICS OF
RESEARCH
LEARNING OBJECTIVE
Describes the characteristics,
processes and ethics of research.
CHARACTERISTICS
• Empirical
• systematic
• Controlled
• Analytical
• Objective
• original work
• replicability
CHARACTERISTICS, PROCESSES AND ETHICS OF RESEARCH 3
EMPIRICAL
• Research is based on direct
experiences or observation by the
researcher.
CHARACTERISTICS, PROCESSES AND ETHICS OF RESEARCH 4
SYSTEMATIC
• Research is based on valid procedures
and principles.
CHARACTERISTICS, PROCESSES AND ETHICS OF RESEARCH 5
OBJECTIVE/LOGICAL
• As a researcher, your research must be
unbiased and logical.
• All findings must be logically based on
empirical data which are based on real
life situations.
CHARACTERISTICS, PROCESSES AND ETHICS OF RESEARCH 6
CONTROLLED
• In research, all variables, except those
that are tested/experimented on, are
kept constant.
CHARACTERISTICS, PROCESSES AND ETHICS OF RESEARCH 7
ANALYTICAL
• Data gathered must be analyzed
critically so that there is no error in the
coming up with interpretations.
CHARACTERISTICS, PROCESSES AND ETHICS OF RESEARCH 8
CRITICAL
• Research exhibits careful and precise
judgment.
CHARACTERISTICS, PROCESSES AND ETHICS OF RESEARCH 9
CYCLICAL
Research is a cyclical process because it
starts with a problem and ends with a
problem.
CHARACTERISTICS, PROCESSES AND ETHICS OF RESEARCH 10
ORIGINAL WORK
• Research requires effort to get at the
researcher’s own investigation and
produce the data needed to complete
the study.
CHARACTERISTICS, PROCESSES AND ETHICS OF RESEARCH 11
REPLICABILITY
• The research design and procedures
are replicated or repeated to enable the
researcher to arrive at valid and
conclusive results.
CHARACTERISTICS, PROCESSES AND ETHICS OF RESEARCH 12
LEARNING TASK 1:YES OR NO!
1. Research starts with a problem and always
ends with an answer.
2. Research utilizes proven logical process in
gathering the data.
3. Research replicates to arrive at valid and
conclusive results.
4. Research is conducted in a organized manner
with bias.
5. Research utilizes historical and experimental
procedures.
CHARACTERISTICS, PROCESSES AND ETHICS OF RESEARCH 13
LEARNING TASK 1:YES OR NO!
6. Research is said to be critical if it exhibits
cautious judgement.
7. Research is based on invalid procedures and
principles.
8. Research is not based on observation by the
researcher.
9. The research process begins with a very broad
idea of a topic.
10. The purpose of research is not to inform
action.

ETHICS IN RESEARCH
• Honesty. Strive for honesty in all
scientific communications. Honestly
report data, results, methods and
procedures, and publication status. Do
not fabricate, falsify, or misrepresent
data. Do not deceive colleagues,
research sponsors, or the public

Editor's Notes

  1. Research is a process of collecting, analyzing and interpreting information to answer questions. But to qualify as research, the process must have certain characteristics: it must, as far as possible, be systematic, controlled, rigorous, valid and verifiable, empirical and critical.
  2. Your research must be based on observations and experimentations of theories. This involves your direct experiences in conducting research. As a researcher, you cannot just do any magic in coming up with data; you need to experience in doing it.
  3. Systematic- Your research follows orderly and sequential procedures; it must be based on valid procedures and principles. You cannot just jump into conclusion with undergoing the steps.
  4. Research utilizes proven analytical procedures in gathering the data, whether historical, descriptive, and experimental and case study.
  5. Research has also stages to undergo which require your patience and perseverance. You need to exert efforts in order to have quality output. Below is a diagrammatic presentation of the steps when doing research (Prieto et al, 2017).
  6. different models of the research process exist, each containing different numbers of stages, most include the same general elements.
  7. different models of the research process exist, each containing different numbers of stages, most include the same general elements.
  8. different models of the research process exist, each containing different numbers of stages, most include the same general elements.
  9. Doing research requires ethical principles. This means that you need to prepare an informed consent form to be signed by your informants participating in individual or group interviews. This is important as it promote the values that are essential such as trust, accountability, mutual respect, and fairness. The following is a rough and general summary of some ethical principles that various codes address.
