L3.Research Process Topic

The document outlines the key phases of the research process: conceptualization, design, empirical, analytical, and dissemination. In the conceptualization phase, researchers identify a topic and formulate research questions. Next, the design phase involves planning data collection and analysis procedures. Researchers then gather data in the empirical phase. In the analytical phase, data is prepared, assessed, and interpreted. Finally, in the dissemination phase, research results are shared with the public in a written report. The document provides guidance on selecting an appropriate topic, developing a research title, and moving through each step of the scientific inquiry.

ANALYTICAL PHASE
PHASE
CONCEPTUALIZATION PHASE
◦ This is where the topic is identified.
◦ Studies are recommended to focus on a not-too-broad
but not-too-specific concept to allow flexibility and
further exploration.
◦ Literature reviews may be present and are required for
quantitative studies but optional in qualitative inquiries.
◦ Topic selection is followed by objective framing or
identifying the “Central Question” that needs to be
addressed.
DESIGN PHASE
◦ Known as the planning phase where researchers
decide on the detailed procedures in gathering and
analyzing data.
◦ The phase wherein how, where, and when will the study
be conducted and analyzed is addressed.
EMPIRICAL PHASE
◦ Actual data gathering and collection.
◦ In this phase, the researchers are equipped with the
necessary attitude, behavior, and tools in gathering
data from different prospective sources.

◦ In qualitative studies, respondents are known as ‘key


informants’ or co-researchers.
ANALYTICAL PHASE
◦ Most challenging phase of the research.
◦ Preparation and assessment of the data through the use
of several tools and even the researchers own
understanding.
◦ Analysis of data is supported by the researchers’ beliefs
and previous studies published in the same area of
interest.
ANALYTICAL PHASE
◦ In qualitative studies, interview text are being delimited
to manageable statements and schematized.
◦ A model or simulacrum can also be produced to
summarize an understanding of the themes that
emerged in the study.
◦ Results are interpreted in this phase before the actual
writeup.
DISSEMINATION PHASE
◦ Most valuable but often neglected by the researchers.
◦ Research results in the form of a well-written full
research manuscript are advised to be shared to the
general public.
CONCEPTUALIZATION:
IDENTIFYING A TOPIC
RESEARCH TOPIC
◦ A research topic or problem is an intellectual stimulus
calling for an answer in the form of scientific inquiry.
◦ Research topics must follow the 3Ts: timely, trending,
and trailblazing.

◦ Research topic – area of the study, common ground


◦ Intellectualized topic – specificity of study,
distinctiveness of your research
RESEARCH TOPIC

◦ Research topics in qualitative studies primarily focuses


on life-related concepts that are commonly non-
measurable.
◦ Qualitative research topics often entails narration of
past experiences.
SOURCES OF RESEARCH TOPIC
◦ Own experience and interest
◦ Own professional practice
◦ Colleagues
◦ Critical friends (experts in the fields)
◦ Related literature
SOURCES OF RESEARCH TOPIC
◦ Reconnaissance – process of reviewing literature;
- familiarity in the body of literature on a topic will
help you identify how your proposed study will fit into the
body of literature available.
Types of Literature Sources:
1. Research (1st priority)
2. Conceptual (2nd priority)
3. Gray
GUIDELINES IN SELECTING A TOPIC
◦ Should be something new or different
◦ MUST be original
◦ Should be significant to one’s field of study or discipline
◦ Should be of researcher’s interests
◦ Should be a modest one for a beginner to be carried
within a limited period of time.
GUIDELINES IN SELECTING A TOPIC
◦ Should be specific, not general
◦ Should consider the training and personal qualifications
of the researcher
◦ Should consider the financial capacity of the researcher
◦ Should consider the time factor
RESEARCH TITLE
◦ The title must contain the following:
◦ Subject matter or research problem
◦ Setting or locale of the study
◦ Respondents involved in the study
◦ Time or period when the study was conducted

◦ The title must be broad and at the same time, must be


brief and concise as possible.
RESEARCH TITLE
◦ “Analysis of”, “A Study of”, “An Investigation of” and the
like should be avoided.
◦ If the title contains more than one line, it should be
written in inverted pyramid
◦ In the title page, all words in the title should be in capital
letters.
◦ If possible, the title should not be longer than 15 words.
SAMPLE RESEARCH TITLES
◦ “LIFE ADJUSTMENT OF VICTIMS OF TYPHOON YOLANDA”

◦ “LIVED EXPERIENCES OF CANCER SURVIVORS AT MARY


CHILE’S HOSPITAL”

◦ “NANAY NA, TATAY PA: A GLIMPSE ON THE LIVES OF


SINGLE MOTHERS IN QUEZON CITY”
