8. Research aims for truth (Rolfe, 2002).
Research improves quality of human life
(Bornmann, 2013).

9. 1. Research
aims for truth.

10. • Research is about establishing truth based
on evidence or data.
We conduct a study to seek for truth.
Ferdinand Magellan who proved this
otherwise. His courage and research have
made us live with the fact that the world is
round.
Copernicus, because of his tedious
research, now we know that it is not Earth
as the center of the universe but the sun.
Nonetheless, the main idea here is that
research provides us an explanation or
solution to particular problem based on truth
(Kasi 2009).

11. 2. Research
improves the
quality of human
life.

12. I believe that you often hear from your
parents about their experiences when they
were young. Though it sounds so boring,
they live without television, without the
internet, without a cellphone, without an air
condition, without an electric fan, without
computer, or online games. All of the
technological advancements we have NOW
are brought by different researches (Gupta
2018). Without the people who dedicated
their lives for the sake of humanity, we will
not have this kind of life. Through research, it
improves our standard of living.

13. 3. Research
saves a life.

14. In the past, when penicillin was not yet
discovered, people just die without proper
medication. It was by the research of
Fleming that the first generation of antibiotics
were discovered (Pandey et al. 2014). In the
same manner, Dr. Abelardo Aguilar, a
Filipino doctor, one of the contributors to the
discovery of Erythromycin during the late
1940s. Moreover, Dr. Fe Del Mundo
improved the incubator and jaundice relieving
device. Now pre-matured babies and those
suffering from jaundice can survive and enjoy
life in the future.

15. 4. Research
gathers the
necessary
information.

16. Conducting research implies gathering necessary data
to explain your problem and to answer your particular
questions. for example, you want to understand
students’ perceptions about modular learning, then,
you conduct survey to the projected respondents or
direct interviews with the projected participants. Thus,
the content of the survey questionnaire and the guided
interview must aligned to the your problem and to the
questions that you
like to answer.

17. 5. Research
explores humanity

18. Do you know that Bataeños have
developed distinct Tagalog intonation and
words? Do you know that the song “Ati Ku
Pung Singsing” is about the culture of the
Kapampangan? Do you know that in
Zambales, the Aetas have customary
maternal and infant care beliefs based on
their tradition and faith passed through
generations? Do you know that the
Dumagat of Aurora considered prayers as
part of their economic life? Do you know
that the province of Tarlac came from the
"Malatarlak"?

19. WHAT’S MORE?
Using the illustration below, say “A” if the symbol shows importance of research
related to exposing the truth, “B” if it improves quality of human life, “C” if it saves life,
“D” if it is gathers necessary information, and “E” if it is humanity.
