PART 2

LEARNING CONTENT 1: Definition of Research

I. INTRODUCTION
Many students are overwhelmed when asked to do research. This is probably due to the
misconception that research is a job for scientists or a requirement for students who want to earn
a college or postgraduate degree. As a senior high school student, you might have your own
misconception of research, thus; this module is designed to help you understand the nature and
importance of research in daily life.

II. LESSON DISCUSSION

Definition of Research
 It is a process of executing various mental acts for discovering and examining facts and information to prove the
accuracy of truthfulness of your claims or conclusions about the topic of your research.
 It requires you to inquire or investigate about your chosen research topic by asking questions that will engage
you in top-level thinking strategies of interpreting, analyzing, synthesizing, criticizing, appreciating or creating to
enable you to discover truths about many things you tend to wonder about the topic of your research work
(Litchman, 2013).
 It is analogous to inquiry, in that, both involve investigating somethings through questioning.

III. WORTH KNOWING AND REMEMBERING

Research is the systematic application of the scientific inquiry in order to find solutions to
problems and contribute to knowledge.

LEARNING CONTENT 2: Importance of Research
I. INTRODUCTION
The above definitions imply that research is very important in everyday life. Among its
practical applications are discovering medical breakthroughs, advancing technological
developments, understanding and solving problems in education, business, economy, and
society.

II. LESSON DISCUSSION

Importance of Research
1. Gather Relevant Information- the results of research(es) are used as a springboard in conducting more researches
or in planning new projects. For example, a research on the basic needs of the target customers can help companies
develop and market a new line of products.
2. Improve quality of life – research undertakings are basically geared toward improving the quality of life. The major
breakthroughs in the field of communication, transportation, medicine, entertainment, and food and nutrition are all
possible because of researches conducted. Through continuous research, these breakthroughs are further improved to
make people’s lives convenient and comfortable.
3. Understand history – understanding our history can help us better understand our current society and the behavior
of the people. Research plays an important role not only in helping us trace our history, but also in understanding and
providing possible solutions to the pervading problems of our current society.
4. Personal and Professional development – research challenges us to become better individuals through the new ideas,
perspectives, and skills that we can get when doing research. Personally, you will gain more knowledge and thus widen
your perspective about life in general. Professionally, you will not only meet your academic or school requirement but
you will also advance to a more challenging and exciting world of learning.
III. WORTH KNOWING AND REMEMBERING
Research shapes a person’s skills in decision making, problem solving, and in knowledge creation.

LEARNING CONTENT 3: Characteristics of Good Research

I. INTRODUCTION
You have already learned how important research is in your daily life. Before you engage
yourself in this relevant and practical activity, you have to know first the characteristics of a good
research.
II. LESSON DISCUSSION
Characteristics of Good Research
1. Research is empirical. It uses facts and data that are obtained through a thorough investigation.
2. Research is analytical. The researcher carefully analyzes and interprets the gathered data before arriving at a
conclusion.
3. Research is systematic. It follows a certain method or procedure in order to obtain objective results.
4. Research is cyclical. It begins with a problem and ends with the resolution or tentative answers to the
problem to complete the cycle. This only means that every step in the research process is vital to the success
of the research.
5. Research is original. It is expected that any research output is a product of novel ideas and shows originality.

2. Objectivity. Strive to avoid bias in experimental design, data analysis, data interpretation peer review, personnel decisions, grant
writing, expert testimony, and other aspects of research where objectivity is expected or required.
3. Integrity. Keep your promises and agreements; act with sincerity; strive for consistency of thought and action.
4. Carefulness. Avoid careless errors and negligence; carefully and critically examine your own work.
5. Openness. Share data, results, ideas, tools, resources.

9. Competence. Maintain and improve your own professional competence and expertise through lifelong education and learning.
10. Legality. Know and obey relevant laws and institutional and governmental policies.
11. Animal care. Show proper respect and care for animals when using them in research.
12. Human Subjects Protection. When conducting research in human subjects, minimize harms and risks and maximize benefits;
respect human dignity, privacy, autonomy; take special precautions with vulnerable populations; and strive to distribute the
benefits and burdens of research fairly.
III. WORTH KNOWING AND REMEMBERING
Ethics in research helps establish the moral integrity of the researcher.
