 IMPORTANCE OF
RESEARCH IN DAILY
LIFE
WHAT IS RESEARCH?
RESEARCH
• Research is an organized investigation
and study of materials and sources to
create facts and reach new inferences.
Research has come up with developing
appropriate solutions to improve the
individual’s quality of life. Although it
may take place in a different setting and
may use different methods, scientific
research is universally a systematic and
objective search for reliable knowledge
(Walker, 2010).
RESEARCH
• Research is a verified approach of
thinking and employing legalized
instruments and steps to obtain a more
adequate solution to a problem that is
otherwise impossible to address under
ordinary means (Crawford, as cited by
Alcantara & Espina, 1995).
RESEARCH
• In most cases, research helps society to
answer the WHAT and HOW questions. It
must be a proper investigation and
should reach a valid conclusion that
would facilitate the finding of answers to
the questions. Some of these questions
are: How can research affect society?
What is the impact of the research to
daily life?
CATEGORY OF
RESEARCH
BASIC RESEARCH
• This is the type of research that
is a purely direct application but
increasing the nature of
understanding about the
problem. It develops the
scientific theories to be more
understandable to the readers.
APPLIED RESEARCH
• It is a type of research that
needs an answer to a specific
question. It provides solutions
and validation in order to apply
to the real setting.

DIRECTIONS: FROM AMONG THE LIST, CHOOSE
WHAT YOU WANT TO BUILD, ACCOMPLISH, CREATE
OR MAKE. THEN DETERMINE THE MATERIALS THAT
YOU NEED IN ORDER TO ACCOMPLISH IT.

1. House I decided to make a

3. Car In making this, I

DESIGNING A RESEARCH
PROJECT RELATED TO DAILY
LIFE
Designing a research is similar to making a
house, car, bag, dress, cake, etc. which
needs appropriate materials and necessary
process or steps to follow. Then, you have
to consider whether what you intend to
make or invent has significance to you as a
person. Otherwise, your efforts will not be
put to use.
DESIGNING A RESEARCH
PROJECT RELATED TO DAILY
LIFE
In designing your qualitative
research, you have to consider
whether the topic you have chosen is
relevant to you as a learner, as a
constituent in your barangay, and as
a citizen of this
country.
DESIGNING A RESEARCH
PROJECT RELATED TO DAILY
LIFE
Therefore, the first question you
should answer is, “What is the issue,
phenomenon or problem in my
school, at home, and in the
community that needs my special
attention by conducting a research?”
EXAMPLES:
1. In School
Based on observation, what are the
issues and problems I encounter
inside the classroom? Is it the lesson,
teachers, learners’ attitude and
hindrances to graduation?
EXAMPLES:
2. At Home
Considering my life on a daily basis,
what are the things that bother me
at home?
EXAMPLES:
3. In the Community
What are the usual complaints of my
neighbor regarding ordinances,
practices and activities in the
barangay? Or, what are the
situations in my community that
need to be improved?
DESIGN OF QUALITATIVE
RESEARCH
Qualitative research is an emergent
design which means that it emerges as
you make ongoing decisions about what
you have learned.
As a design, qualitative research requires
researcher’s decision-making like how to
gather
data, from where and whom to collect,
when to gather, and for how long is the
process will be.
DESIGN OF QUALITATIVE
RESEARCH
To have a holistic picture of
qualitative research project, you
have to remember that in
deciding on a topic, you have to
consider the kind and the field it
belongs, as well as its relevance
to your daily life.
 DETERMINE WHETHER THE TOPIC LISTED BELOW ARE
DIRECTLY RELEVANT TO YOU. MARK (/) IF
THEY ARE, AND (X) IF NOT, ON THE BLANK PROVIDED

WRITING A
RESEARCH TITLE
GUIDELINES IN
CHOOSING A TOPIC
1. Interest in the subject
matter
You are interested about the
topic because you have
experienced it.
2. Availability of information
It is important that when you
decide on a topic, sources of
information are available.
GUIDELINES IN
CHOOSING A TOPIC
3. Timeliness and relevance of the
topic
The topic you have chosen can be
of significance to the community.
4. Limitations on the subject
Sometimes, topic is limited to what
the teacher suggests.
An example of this is when the
teacher asks the entire class to
focus on COVID-19 pandemic, then
you have no freedom
to explore other topics aside from
what is given.
GUIDELINES IN
CHOOSING A TOPIC
5. Personal resources
Consider also if you can finish the
research in terms of your
intellectual and financial
physical capabilities.
TOPICS TO BE
AVOIDED
1. Controversial topics
Avoid highly opinionated topics.
2. Highly technical subjects
Too technical topics requires
expertise. If you don’t have enough
knowledge about it, then
look for another one.
3. Hard-to-investigate subjects
Unavailability of reading materials
and materials that are not updated
make the subject
hard to investigate.
TOPICS TO BE
AVOIDED
4. Too broad subjects
You lack focus if you deal with
broad topics. The remedy is to
narrow it down.
5. Too narrow subject
Some subjects are too narrow that
extensive and thorough reading are
required.
6. Vague subjects
Titles that start with indefinite
adjectives such as several, many,
some, etc., make the topic vague.
SOURCES OF
RESEARCH TOPICS
1. Mass media communication-
television, newspaper, ads, radio,
films, etc.
2. Books, internet, journals,
government publications
3. Professional periodicals-
specialized periodicals in different
fields
4. General periodicals- Reader’s
Digest, Time Magazine, Women’s
Magazine, etc.
5. Previous readings
6. Work experience

HOW TO NARROW DOWN
A TOPIC
1. You can narrow down the topic by
exploring and extending the explanation of
a theory.
2. Talk over ideas with people who know
research.
3. Focus on specific group. Ex: Students,
Mothers, Teachers
4. Define the aim or desired outcome of the
study.
a. Is the study exploratory, explanatory, or
descriptive?
b. Is the study applied or basic?
BEFORE DECIDING ON
YOUR TOPIC, ASK:
1. What areas are not yet explored that I
want to investigate?
2. Is my research useful to me, to my
school, to my family and to my community?

Remember, a research study must be

significant enough to make it worth your
efforts as the researcher.

NOW, WE WILL TACKLE HOW
YOU WILL FORMULATE YOUR
RESEARCH TITLE.
⮚ Research title is the most important
element of your research as it clearly
expresses the
problem to be explored.
⮚ A research title capsulizes the main
thought or idea of the whole research paper.
It also
reflects the variables under study.
⮚ It is expressed in few words possible and
just enough to describe the contents and
the purpose of your research.
⮚ It needs to be informative.
NOW, WE WILL TACKLE HOW
YOU WILL FORMULATE YOUR
RESEARCH TITLE.
⮚ It contains the:
● What: the subject matter or topic to be
investigated
● Where: place or locale where the research
is to be conducted
● Who: the participants of respondents of
the study
● When: the time period of the conduct of
the study
EXAMPLES:
● Struggles in Online Learning Modality
among Students of Quezon National High
School during School Year 2021-2021
What: Struggles in Online Learning Modality
Where: Quezon National High School
Who: Students

EXAMPLES:
● Less Mastered Competencies of Senior
High School Students in Bukidnon during
School
Year 2020-2021
What: Less Mastered Competencies
Where: Bukidnon
Who: Senior High School Students
When: School Year 2020-2021
