LIFE
• At the end of this topic the learner should be able to:
1. Share research experiences and knowledge
2. Explain the importance of research in daily life
• Research is significant in our everyday activities. Researchers have been done
before but what we are adding innovation in this contemporary time. It is the
result of a thinking process that involves questioning techniques or models.

5. WHAT IS RESEARCH?
• It is a studious inquiry or examination; especially investigation or experimentation aimed
at the discovery and interpretation of facts, revision of accepted theories or laws in the
light of new facts, or practical application of such new or revised theories of laws.
(Merriam-Webster Dictionary)
• Generally, research is to produce knowledge through inquiry and discovery. As a
process, research is a systematic inquiry that entails collection of data; documentation of
critical information; and analysis and interpretation of that data/information, in accordance
with suitable methodologies set by specific professional fields and academic disciplines.

6. THE IMPORTANCE OF RESEARCH IN OUR
DAILY LIFE
1. It describes what is happening around us. Through this, we get to know what people think, what people feel,
and what people do. In this contemporary time people are adding up innovations to the early research done.
Example. The current Corona Virus which is pandemic. It is very clear to all of us the physical health,
emotional, mental struggles that patients, family and our front liners fight against to survive.
2. It explains why things happen in certain ways. Through this we get to understand different situations in our
lives and helps identify the factors that hinder or facilitate why certain things fail.
Example. The struggles of the daily wage earners. The will of our government to support the people during
this pandemic time. The economic status of the entire world. How different private sectors tried to
continuously support their employees in this critical time.

7. 3.Predictions are variable. World science and medical are still merging their intellects to produce the right
moves to beat certain situations. Through this, we get to caution ourselves in doing or not doing something; it
warns us not to pursue an action, and encourages us to continue a certain act, as well.
Example. The order of the government to observe preventive measures in order to lessen the possible
contagion of this virus from one person to another. The immediate action of the World Health
Organization (WHO) in monitoring the results and at the same time develops a vaccine to prevent it.
4.It evaluates what happened in our lives. It gives you an idea why things are not turning out the way you
expected. It provides areas that you need to improve in your program delivery.
Example. The immediate action of our scientists in developing or finding near-specific medicine to
eliminate the virus. Development of the much needed vaccine to eradicate this virus will boast the
emotions, mental, physical faculties of an individual and the affected world population.
5. It helps us solve our problems. It provides us relevant data in order to determine why people are against a
certain government program. Through research, we can make necessary suggestions/recommendations to
help improve the government’s program to suit the needs of those who are affected.
Example. The continuous study of the experts on the effects if Modified General Community Quarantine
will be observed to regenerate the economic status of our country. How will it affect the living standards
and health conditions of the people?
