This document discusses the nature and importance of research. It defines research as an investigative process of seeking information and discovering truths about a topic by asking questions. Research involves higher-order thinking like interpreting, analyzing and synthesizing to gain conceptual understanding. The advantages of research include improving learning, problem-solving, social awareness, and encouraging cooperative learning. Research provides a foundation for creating knowledge, testing theories, and advancing fields. It is significant for gathering information, improving life standards, exploring history, and understanding various topics.

10. FOUNDATIONTHEORIES OF IBL
 John Dewey’sTheory of connected experiences for exploratory
or reflective thinking ;
 LevVygosky’s Zone of Proximal Development that stresses the
essence of provocation and scaffolding in learning;
 Jerome Bruner’s theory on learners’ varied world perceptions
for their own interpretative thinking of people and things
around them

11. JOHN DEWEY’STHEORY OF CONNECTED EXPERIENCES
FOR EXPLORATORY OR REFLECTIVE THINKING ;
• Dewey argued that education should focus on the quality
of the experience more than it focused on the information
being presented.
• In order to be considered a quality experience, he said that
the experience must have continuity with their past and
future experiences and interaction between the student's
individual perceptions and a lesson environment.
• Continuity would propel learners to continue learning
while interaction would meet the learner's needs.

A process of executing various mental acts for discovering and
examining facts and information to prove the accuracy or
truthfulness of your claims or conclusions about the topic
Requires you to inquire or investigate about your chosen
research topic by asking questions that will make you engage
yourself in top-level thinking strategies of interpreting, analysing,
synthesizing, criticizing, appreciating, or creating to enable you
to discover truths about the many things you tend to wonder
about the topic of your research work.

25. CHARACTERISTICS OF RESEARCH
Accuracy. It must give correct data, which the footnotes,
notes, and bibliographical entries should honestly and
appropriately documented or acknowledged.
Objectiveness. It must deal with facts, not with mere
opinions arising from assumptions, generalizations,
predictions or conclusions.

26. CHARACTERISTICS OF RESEARCH
Timeliness. It must work on a topic that is fresh,

point or discoveries by using simple, direct, concise
and correct language.
Systematic. It must take place in an organized or
orderly manner.

28. The Role of Research
• It is an inquiry process.
• It is a formal process of problem solving.
• It is a set of procedures and stages.
• It originates with a question or a problem.
• It is an iterative process.

29. Research provides solid foundation for
the:
• Discovery and creation of knowledge, theory- building;
• Testing, confirmation, revision, and refutation of knowledge as
theory;
• Advance a discipline or field;
• Advancements and improvements in various aspects of life;
• Promotion and tenure of individuals.

30. Significance of Research
1. To gather necessary information
2. To improve standard of living
3. To have a safer life
4. To know the truth
