The document discusses different aspects of research including inquiry, investigation, and immersion. It defines inquiry as asking questions to learn more about a topic. Investigation is systematically examining a situation to find answers. Immersion means deep involvement in an activity or environment. The document provides steps for inquiry-based learning such as brainstorming topics, selecting a manageable topic, and formulating a research question and thesis statement. It also includes an activity to list causes and effects of an issue and propose solutions.

1. Inquiries, Investigation
and Immersion

2. Write your own ideas on the importance of research
based in your knowledge and experiences.

4. Inquiry:
Definition: Asking questions or seeking
information to learn more about a specific
topic.
Example: Asking a teacher about a new

5. Investigation:
Definition: Systematically examining a
situation or problem to gather evidence and

9. Research…
 a practice of collecting information
about a particular subject.
 provides the best solution to some of the world
problems and enhance the knowledge of the

10. Research…
introduces new ideas, helps the researchers
identify problems and appropriate solutions in new
ways and provide new framework to guide thinking
and action.

12. Inquiry…
is a method that has the aim of extending
knowledge, undertaking doubt, or solving a
problem

13. Now, to give you an idea of how
to prepare for research, you may
do the inquiry-based learning
using the following steps:

15. Brainstorming is a way of inquiring
ideas that will help you to develop
concepts and focusing techniques by
asking questions and knowing the
interests of the persons involved in
the said issues. The potential ideas
can be visualized for interpretations

17. 1. A problem that is most interesting to
you
2. Existing problems in the
class/school/campus which one may want
to solve
3. Existing needs of the community or
society
4. Area of interest, specialization or event
from related fields
5. Prevailing theories and philosophy

18. Selecting a topic:
1. Brainstorm for ideas.
2. Choose a topic that enables you to read and understand the
literature.
3. Ensure that the topic is manageable and that material is
available.
4. Make a list of keywords.
5. Be flexible.
6. Define your topic as a focused research question.
7. Research and read about your topic.
8. Formulate thesis statement.

22. Activity 2:
List down three (3) causes and effects of the
given problem or issue.
Problem/Issue: Failed Grades
Effects:
1. __________________________________________________________________
2. __________________________________________________________________
3. __________________________________________________________________
Causes:
1. __________________________________________________________________
2. __________________________________________________________________
3. __________________________________________________________________

23. List down three (3) crucial concerns and
propose a solution for each.
