2. OBJECTIVES:
1. Define research paper;
2. Identify the technical terms used in
research; and
3. Get familiar with the technical terms
used in research.
3. Task 1│Warm Up. Provide definition for the term
given by using a dictionary, thesaurus, and online
source. Write your answer on the given diagram.
4. Using the DICTIONARY
1. Using the DICTIONARY
If you are unable to understand the
meaning of an unfamiliar word by using
context clues, then you should look up
the word in a dictionary. Here are tips for
proper dictionary usage.
5. • Look at the preface and notes in your dictionary. The
preface contains explanations about the various
symbols and abbreviations. Find out what your
dictionary has to offer.
• Good dictionaries include all known definitions of a
word. When you are looking up a word, do not stop
after you have read the first meaning! Keep reading,
and look for the meaning that best fits the context of
your sentence.
• If the difficult word has a prefix such as un-- or mis-,
you may have to look up the root word.
6. 2. Using the THESAURUS
The best place to look for synonyms and antonyms is the thesaurus. A
thesaurus is, in a sense, the opposite of a dictionary. You go to a
dictionary when you know the word but need the definition. You go to a
thesaurus when you know the definition but need the word.
7. 3. Using the INTERNET
The internet provides many different
types of information. Besides the
dictionary and a thesaurus,
definitions of terms may also be
searched via the World Wide Web.
8. Task 2│Word Search. Look for the 15 hidden words in this puzzle that are
associated to research. Trace the letters vertically, horizontally, up, down,
backward or any other directions. Then, write them on the space provided.

10. What is it?
What is Research?
Research is a process of 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.
11. Research is conducted to evaluate the validity of
a hypothesis or an interpretive framework; to
assemble a body of substantive knowledge and
findings for sharing them in appropriate manners;
and to generate questions for further inquiries.
A research is an essay in which you explain what
you have learned after exploring the topic.
12. It has different parts: introduction,
literature review, methodology,
results, conclusion. It has also
terminologies like references,
appendix, bibliography, outline,
plagiarism, abstract, paraphrase and
periodical.
13. Basic Parts of a Research Paper
In writing a research paper, take
careful note of its parts. The research
paper has at least eleven essential
parts although, of course, there may
be additional parts depending on the

providing the methods that you will
be using in your research. Typical
methodologies include laboratory
experiments, statistical or
mathematical
calculations/computations, and
comparison of existing literature.
19. 6.Analysis of Data
Depending on the type of your
research paper, data analysis
instruments and operations may vary.
Common data analysis methods
include but are not limited to SWOT
Analysis (Strengths, Weakness,
Opportunities and Threats) which is a
form of a qualitative data analysis
20. 7.Results / Findings / Presentation

concerns of your research.
22. 9. Conclusion
Provide the conclusion to your
research paper. While it is important
to restate your general thesis in this
section, it is also important to include
a brief restatement of the other parts
of the research paper such as the

results.
23. 10.Reference Page / Bibliography
This section is where you list down

Examples of information that could be
included in an appendix include

statistics, questionnaires, transcripts of
interviews, pictures, lengthy derivations of
equations, maps, drawings, letters,
specification or data sheets, computer
program information.
25. The information included in the appendix
must be directly related to the research
problem or the report's purpose. Each
separate appendix should be lettered
(Appendix A, Appendix B, Appendix B1,
Appendix B2, Appendix C, etc). The order
they are presented in is dictated by the
order they are mentioned in the text of the
