 Inquiry means to look for information by asking various questions about the thing you are curious
about.

 Research means to discover truths by investigating on your chosen topic scientifically.

 Similar to inquiry that starts from what you are ignorant about, research makes you learn something
by means of a problem-solving technique.

 Although the core word for both inquiry and research is investigation or questioning, they are not
exactly the same in all aspects.

 Research includes more complex acts of investigations than inquiry.

 Research follows a scientific procedure of discovering truths or meanings about the things in this
world.

 Timeliness: A research must work on a topic that is fresh, new, and interesting to the present society.
 Relevance: A research topic must be instrumental in improving society or in solving problems affecting
the lives of the people in the community.

 A person who pays attention to any kinds of books can become a successful researcher.  An excellent
written and verbal communication skill is necessary in conducting research.  Conducting research helps
one succeed in business.

 Conducting research is a means to increase awareness and understanding about the problems/issues
encountered by the people in the community.

 Research topic is an intellectual stimulus calling for an answer in the form of scientific injury.

 Choosing your topic wisely can decrease your time in gathering information.

 A research title must be concise and must contain only the words enough to hint the content of the
research.

 A research title must be stated in declarative form, not in interrogative form.

 A good research title needs to be very specific in nature.

 A good research title needs to be attractive and interesting enough to catch the attention of the
readers.

 Qualitative research involves collecting and analyzing non-numerical data (e.g.text, video, or audio) to
understand concepts, opinions, or experiences.
 Qualitative research is concerned with understanding human behavior from the informant’s
perspective; assumes a dynamic and negotiated reality.

 In qualitative research, data are analyzed by themes from descriptions by informants and are reported
in the language of the informant.

 Quantitative research is commonly used in psychology, marketing and social science.

 Quantitative data collection methods include various forms of surveys – online surveys, paper surveys,
mobile surveys and kiosk surveys, face-to-face interviews, telephone interviews, longitudinal studies,
website interceptors, online polls, and systematic observations.

 To give a simplified example, if your topic is "students' satisfaction with their courses," a quantitative
approach could involve asking students to rate aspects of their courses on a 10-point scale.
