-you do this kind of examination through your
HOTS ( inferential, analytical, critical, creative, and
appreciative thinking to discover more understandable
or meaningful things beyond such object of your
inquiry.
-thinking in this manner makes you ask open-
ended questions to elicit views, opinions, and beliefs of
others in relation to your research ( Small 2012)

🞇 The
RESEARC
data you work on in research do not come mainly
H
from yourself but also from other sources of knowledge
like people, books, and artworks, among others.
🞇 One cardinal principle in research is to give
acknowledgement to owners of all sources of
knowledge involved in your research work.
🞇 Giving credit to people from whom you derived your
data is your way of not only thanking the authors of
their contribution to the field, but also establishing the
validity and reliability of the findings of your research.
(Muijs 2011, Ransome 2012)
o
Inductive thinking – makes you
ponder on specific ideas first,
then move to the more
complex concepts like
conclusions or generalizations.
o Deductive thinking – you start from
forming generalizations to
examining details about the
subject matter.
 Inquiry
vis – a –
vis
🞇- One scholarly activity that involves inquiry is research.
Similar to inquiry that starts from what you are
ignorant about, research makes you learn something
by means of a problem – solving technique.
🞇 - Both inquiry and research encourage you to formulate
questions to direct you to the exact information you
want to discover about the object of your curiosity.
🞇 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 investigation than inquiry because the former
follows a scientific procedure of discovering truths or
meanings about things in this world. (Goodwin 2014;
Lapan 2012)
