Lesson 1: Natural
Inquiry
 Activity
• Write your own ideas on
the importance of research
based in your knowledge
and experiences.
• Copy the graphic organizer
and write your answer in
your notebook.
Research
• Research is an 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 or laws.
• It is also a practice of collecting information
about a particular subject.
Research
• Research provides the best solution to some of
the world problems and also enhance the
knowledge of the researchers.
• It can give explanations to certain questions
stated in the research problem.
• Through the explanations, it serves as a tool for
building knowledge and for facilitating new
learning.
Research
• Research also introduces new ideas, helps the
researchers identify problems and appropriate
solutions in new ways and provide new framework
to guide thinking and action.
• It informs action, proves a theory and contributes to
develop knowledge in a field or study.
• Therefore, it understands various issues and
increases public awareness.

Brainstorming
• Brainstorming is a way of inquiring about ideas that
will help you to develop concepts and focusing
techniques by asking questions and knowing the
interests of the persons involved in the said issues.
• The potential ideas can be visualized for
interpretation.
Brainstorming
The following are the things that may be
considered before starting the research activity:
1. A problem that is most interesting to you.
2. Existing problems in the class/school/campus
which one may want to solve.
3. Existing needs of the community or society.
4. Area of interest, specialization, or event from
related fields.
5. Prevailing theories and philosophy.
Criteria in Choosing a Research Topic:
1. It should be something new or different from what
has already been written about.
2. It must be original.
3. It should be significant to the field of study or
discipline.
4. It must necessarily arouse intellectual curiosity.
5. It should be of the researcher’s interest.
Criteria in Choosing a Research Topic:
6. It should be a modest one for a beginner to be
carried out within a limited period of time.
7. It should be clear, not ambiguous.
8. It should be specific, not general.
9. It should consider the training and personal
qualifications of the researcher.
Criteria in Choosing a Research Topic:
10. It should consider the availability of data involved in the
study and the methods and techniques to be employed
in gathering them.
11. It should consider the availability of effective
instruments for gathering the data and their treatment.
12. It should consider the financial capacity of the
researcher to support the project.
13. It should consider the time factor involved in the
undertaking.
Here are some examples of possible basis of
issues applicable to senior high school learners.
• These are useful in crafting a research agenda that will
lead to the writing of the title and research problem.
Research Agenda
• If you already identified the possible topic in the agenda of
your research study, you may think of the identity of your
research as either a qualitative or a quantitative research
then decide on the methodology by not disregarding the
importance of your research to others, to the community,
to the society or the nation as well.
• Observe the given example as a guide about the
mentioned concerns in your research agenda.
Activity 2
• List three (3) causes and effects of the given problem
or issue. Write your answer in your notebook.
Problem/Issue: Failed Grades

Prepare a research agenda following the steps
below. Present this through PPT
1. Choose a topic according to your academic choice
considering the criteria in the research topic.
2. Determine the type as to qualitative or quantitative
research.
3. Identify the methodology to be used in the preparation of
the research agenda.
4. State the importance of your research agenda in the
community or society.
