UNIT 1: NATURE OF INQUIRY AND RESEARCH

WHAT THIS UNIT ALL ABOUT?

Research is a process to discover new knowledge. In the Code of Federal Regulations (45 CFR
46.102(d)) pertaining to the protection of human subjects research is defined as:
“A systematic investigation (i.e., the gathering and analysis of information) designed to develop or
contribute to generalizable knowledge.” The National Academy of Sciences states that the object of
research is to “extend human knowledge of the physical, biological, or social world beyond what is
already known.” Research is different than other forms of discovering knowledge (like reading a book)
because it uses a systematic process called the Scientific Method.
The Scientific Method consists of observing the world around you and creating
a hypothesis about relationships in the world. A hypothesis is an informed and educated prediction or
explanation about something. Part of the research process involves testing the hypothesis, and then
examining the results of these tests as they relate to both the hypothesis and the world around you.
When a researcher forms a hypothesis, this acts like a map through the research study. It tells the
researcher which factors are important to study and how they might be related to each other or
caused by a manipulation that the researcher introduces (e.g. a program, treatment or change in the
environment). With this map, the researcher can interpret the information he/she collects and can
make sound conclusions about the results.
Research can be done with human beings, animals, plants, other organisms and inorganic
matter. When research is done with human beings and animals, it must follow specific rules about the
treatment of humans and animals that have been created by the U.S. Federal Government. This ensures
that humans and animals are treated with dignity and respect, and that the research causes minimal
harm.
No matter what topic is being studied, the value of the research depends on how well it is
designed and done. Therefore, one of the most important considerations in doing good research is to
follow the design or plan that is developed by an experienced researcher who is called the  Principal
Investigator (PI). The PI is in charge of all aspects of the research and creates what is called
a protocol (the research plan) that all people doing the research must follow. By doing so, the PI and
the public can be sure that the results of the research are real and useful to other scientists.

LESSON 1: QUALIITATIVE RESEARCH – CHARACTERISTICS,

PROCESSES and ETHICS

PRE-TEST QUESTIONS:

Answer the questions below. Follow instructions properly.

I. TRUE or FALSE. Write QUANTITATIVE after the item when the sentence is true while
QUALITATIVE if the statement is false.

1. In quantitative research, researchers know in advance what they are looking for.
_______________
2. Quantitative research can be easily misinterpreted because it provides numerical
data. _______________
3. Quantitative research puts emphasis on proof, rather than discovery.
_______________
4. Normative research is conducted by researcher whose aim would be to find out the
direction and/or relationship between different variables or group of respondents
under study. _________________
5. Qualitative research requires a large number of respondents. It assumes that the
larger the sample is, the more statistically accurate the findings are.
___________________
6. Evaluation describes the status of a phenomenon at a particular time. It describes
without value judgment a situation that prevents. ____________________
7. Correlational is conducted by researchers whose aim would be to find out the
direction and/or relationship between different variables or groups of respondents
under study. _____________________
8. Methodological is the implementation of a variety of methodologies that forms a
critical part of achieving the goal of developing a scaled-matched approach, where
data from different disciplines can be integrated. ___________________
9. One characteristics of quantitative research is that its method can be repeated to
verify findings in another setting, thus, reinforcing validity findings.
_____________________
10. In quantitative experiments itfilters out external factors, if properly designed, and so
the results gained can be seen, as real and unbiased.

II. Put a tick (/) if it describes the characteristics of a Qualitative Research.

1. The very purpose of this type of research is to understand and interpret

social interactions.
2. The data is usually gathered using structured research instruments.
3. Group studies come in smaller and not randomly selected.
4. Variables are studied as a whole and not as mere variables..
5. The types of data collected come in words, images and/or objects.
 6. Data are in the form of numbers and statistics, often arranged in tables,
charts, figures, or other non-textual forms.
7. Emphasis is on discovery rather than proof.
8. Data collected are in the forms of open-ended responses, interview,
participant observation, field notes, case study, and reflections.
9. Identifies patterns, features, and themes in data analysis
10. Researchers and their biases may be known to participants in the study,
and participant characteristics may be known to the researcher.

RESEARCH EXPERIENCE AND KNOWLEDGE

I. Nature of Inquiry
 Inquiry is defined as “a seeking for truth, information, or knowledge”. The information is
sought through questioning. The process of inquiry begins with gathering information and data
through applying the various human senses.
 Unfortunately, traditional educational system has discouraged the natural process of inquiry.
Students become more inhibited in asking questions and are not challenged either to answer
high-level questions. The students are asked to listen and repeat expected answers.
 The exploratory nature of inquiry allows individuals particularly students to grapple with
different ways of looking at ideas and issues to think creatively about problems that do not
possess simple answer.
 The arrival of new information in our lives, means much. Research is not a single activity. It is
multiple and adaptable (https.//newcollege.asu.edu/writing-program/guide/elements-of-
enquiry).

II. Experience and Knowledge

 Experience is a familiar and a well-used source of knowledge. By going through personal
experiences, you can find many answers to questions that you may have. It has been said that
experience is the best teacher.
 One may be limited in terms of experiences as a source of knowledge. Events may happen in
the same way but may have different effects on individuals.
 For things though that are difficult or impossible to know by personal experiences, you may
turn to an authority. In research, knowledge is sought from other people who had experienced
what the problem is or some other sources of expertise.
 Authority is a quick and easy source of knowledge but it has also its shortcoming that you must
consider. First, authorities can go wrong. It can happen that people claim to be experts in a
field but may not have the knowledge to prove it. Second, you may find that authorities
disagree among themselves on issues, indicating that their authoritative statements are often
more personal opinion than fact (Walker, 2010 as cited in Carey, Naval & Prieto, 2017).

III. What is “Research”?

 It is the systematic investigation and study of materials and sources to establish facts and
reach new conclusions.
 It is a scientific investigation of phenomena which includes collection, presentation, analysis
and interpretation of facts.
 Research is an act of studying something carefully and extensively in order to attain deep
knowledge. When done on a larger scale, it contributes to the welfare of humanity. It can be
creative, exploring or just reassuring in nature.
 In various spheres of human life, research has come up with developing appropriate solutions
to improve the individual’s quality of life. Although it may take in different settings and may
use different methods, scientific research is universally a systematic and objective search for
reliable knowledge (Walker, 2010 as cited in Carey, Naval & Prieto, 2017).
 Work on these:
1. What is research? What is inquiry?
2. Is conducting research important in our daily life? Cite specific instances to support
your answer. Present it using a graphic organizer.

reliable knowledge (Walker, 2010 as cited in Carey, Naval & Prieto, 2017).

Why do Research?
 Research is a great way to network and meet new people. Undergraduate research allows you
to grow and uncover the opportunities for later career. Undergraduate research is conducted
in all disciplines and encompasses a broad range of activities from learning about research to
discovering new knowledge and creating new words. It is about solving problems and
answering questions in all disciplines.
  When you embark in research, you will need learning experiences composed of a knowledge
component described as the representation of facts, principles, concepts, procedure and/or
theories in a certain subject, characterized by learning, remembering and/or reproducing and
a task performance or skills development component (nsuworls.nova.edu/tqu/vol7/iss2/3/).

Importance of Research in Daily Life

I. The Role of Research

 Our everyday life has always been punctuated by exciting adventures, challenging situations
and surprising discoveries. When confronted with doubts and problems, you turn to finding
out what could be possible answers and solutions to them. This is where you embark on the
process called “research”.
 Research leads an expansion of knowledge and discoveries.
 Research is a systematic process of collecting and analyzing data or information in order to
increase understanding of a phenomenon.
 Research is important in providing a solid foundation for the:
o Discovery and creation of knowledge, theory-building
o Testing, confirmation, revision, and refutation of knowledge as theory
o Advance a discipline or field
o Advancements and improvements in various aspects of life
o Promotion and tenure of individuals

RESEARCH ACROSS THE FIELDS

 Research is closely connected with development. The results/findings of studies also affect
society and the lives of each one of us. Research is very vital to our everyday decision making.
The research you do and evidence you gather will be useful for future endeavors. It hones basic
life skills and makes learning a lifelong endeavor.
 Research fills in the need to love reading, writing, analyzing, and sharing valuable information.

Research and Other Fields/Areas

 Research leads to an expansion of knowledge and discoveries of new medical treatment and
cures.
 Research efforts have also led to break through in agriculture such as the introduction of
highly-yield and drought-resistant varieties.
 Projections of effects of global warming have likewise been determined through research.
 Through research findings, psychologists are able to explain the individual’s behaviors
including how people think and act in certain ways. This helps to determine disorders and
 their impact on the person and society which can lead to developing or discovering
appropriate treatments to improve the individual’s quality of life.
 In business, market research enables companies to make forecasts and formulate the needed
strategies to ensure their growth and survival.
 Business properties conduct surveys and feasibility studies to find out the needs of the
community.
 In academic institutions, research may be done independently or as a part of a group. It can be
a useful learning process, challenging students and teachers to work together and grow
intellectually as they conduct their study.
 Economic research refers to matters concerning the environment and which may lead to
improved techniques to ensure sustainable food production.
 Social research leads to an increased knowledge of people and their interactions with one
another, which could be relevant to policy makers
 Environmental research focuses on improved techniques to ensure sustainable food
production
 Cultural research leads to increased understanding of cultural values or social approaches
 Health research contributes to a better understanding of the causes of medical conditions.

Characteristics, Processes and Ethics of Research

I. Characteristics of Research
 Empirical – Research is based on observations and experimentation of theories.
 Systematic – Research follows orderly and sequential procedures, based on valid procedures
and principles.
 Controlled – In research, all variables, except those that are tested/experimented on, are kept
constant.
 Employs hypothesis – The hypothesis guides the investigation process. Research refers to a
search for facts, answers to questions and solutions to problems.
 Analytical – There is a critical analysis of all data used so that there is no error in the
researcher’s interpretations.
 Objective – The term refers to the research as unbiased and logical.
 Original work – Requires effort to get at the researcher’s own investigation and produce the
data needed to complete the study.

II. Other Characteristics of Qualitative Research

 Concern for context and meaning – Qualitative research is bounded by a particular context
which the research aims to study. Since it is context-bound, the human experience takes its
meaning from social, historical, political and cultural influences.
 Naturally occurring settings – Qualitative research studies behavior as it happened naturally in
school, classroom, community or an organization. It is based on the premise that setting affects
the findings.
 Humans as Instruments – The researcher is the primary instrument for gathering and for
analyzing data. S/he responds to the need for capturing the complexity if human experience, as
well as in adapting and responding to the environment. Only a human being can do the field
work methods such as the interview, observation and documentary analysis.
 Descriptive Data – data used in qualitative studies are in the form of words or picture or other
visuals rather than numbers and statistics.
 Emergent Design – In qualitative research, the design cannot be finalized at the onset because
the researcher continues to adjust his/her methods and ways of proceeding as the study
progresses. It is also difficult to predict what may happen during the actual interactions
between the researcher and the participants.

III. Types of Research

 Library Research – done primarily in the library where answers to specific questions or
problems are available.
  Field Research – done in the natural setting such as barangay, school, or factory.
 Laboratory Research – conducted in an artificial or controlled condition by doing the study in a
thoroughly specified and equipped area.

IV. Ethics and Research

 “Ethics” refers to the norms for conduct that distinguish between acceptable and unacceptable
behavior (Resmik, 2015 as cited in Carey, Naval, & Prieto, 2017).
 “Ethics” is a method, procedure or perspective for deciding how to act and for analyzing
complex problems and issues.
 To be ethical, a research project needs to be designed to create valid outcomes if it is believed
to be pursuing truth (i.e. reliability and validity).
 Researchers have the duty to ensure that they do not have deliberately mislead participants as
to the nature of the research.
 Researchers have the duty to avoid causing both physical and psychological difficulties to
participants and to socio-political environments in which and with which they work.
 In both virtual and physical worlds, researchers are ethically bound to maintain the privacy of
participants including confidentiality for any information they give and anonymity for their
identity (Baez, 2002 as cited in Carey, Naval, & Prieto, 2017).
 Research ethics involves the application of fundamental ethical principles to a variety of topics
involving research.

V. Some Ethical Principles

 Enumerated below are words and phrases that correspond to principles on which actions
exhibited while doing research are anchored on.
o Honesty 8. Responsible publication
o Objectivity 9. Respect for colleagues
o Integrity 10. Social responsibility
o Carefulness 11. Non-discrimination
o Openness 12. Competence
o Respect for intellectual property 13. Legality
o Confidentiality
 For a passionate researcher, there is a risk of being tempted to consider unethical research
practice in order to try to obtain and /or certain some of the data.

VI. Ethical Considerations in Qualitative Research

 The researcher is expected to act professionally, maintaining respect towards them. the issues
of anonymity and confidentiality are to be observed. In field notes particularly, when
conducting a sensitive research, false names or code numbers are used to keep track of what
information came from whom without their identities.
 The researcher is expected to give back to the subjects/participants of the research and to
show appreciation for their commitment of time, effort and cooperation. These acts may be to
provide a written report, present findings in an assembly, give assistance or advice on other
research projects at their workplace and others.
 The researcher writes a letter and seeks to be allowed to conduct a study. If changes happen in
the course of the investigation, s/he needs to get an approval for the continuance of the study.

VII. The Research Process

1. Define research problem
2. Review the literature
3. Formulate hypothesis
4. Design research
5. Collect data
6. Analyze data
7. Interpret and report
 Find time to do these:

1. Definition of Plagiarism” by Martin, Ohmann, and Wheatley.

2. Write a one-page reflection paper on plagiarism in the Philippines. Be guided by the
following questions:
a. How does the general public view plagiarism?
b. Do you believe that we are a nation of copycats?

KEEP THIS IN MIND.

 Over time, a new methodology came to the field resulting in the “mixed methods” which
combine both quantitative and qualitative methods in the same study. It is believed that this
combined method provides a more complete explanation of the research findings than using
one method alone.

TYPES AND EXAMPLES OF RESEARCH IN DIFFERENT AREAS/FIELDS

 Applied Research – is designed to solve problems of the modern world, rather than to acquire
knowledge for knowledge’s sake; its goal is to improve human condition
(https.//en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Research_Methods/Types Research). It is used to find
solutions to every day problems, current illnesses and develop technologies.

 Basic Research (Fundamental or Pure Research) – is driven by a scientist’s curiosity or interest

in scientific question. The main motivation is to extend man’s knowledge, not to create or
invent things, this research is designed to add to an organized body of scientific knowledge ad
does not necessarily produce results or practical value.
  Correlational Research – refers to the systematic investigation or statistical study of
relationships among two or more variables, without necessarily determining cause and effect.
It seeks to establish a relation or association between two or more variables that do not readily
lend themselves to experimental manipulation.

 Descriptive or Statistical Research – refers to research that provides an accurate portrayal of a

class or a particular individual situation or group. It deals with everything that can be counted
and measured and which has an impact on people or communities.

 Ethnographic Research – refers to the investigation of a culture through an in-depth study of

the members of the culture; it involves the systematic collection, description and analysis of
the data for development of theories of cultural behavior. It attempts to understand what is
happening naturally in the setting and to interpret the data gathered so implications could be
formed from those data.

 Experimental Research – is an objective, systematic, controlled investigation, for the purpose

of predicting and controlling phenomena and examining probability and causality among
selected variables. It best establishes cause-effect relationship. This type of research studies
the effects of the variables on each other.
 Exploratory Research – is a type conducted for a problem that has not been clearly defined.

 Historical Research – involves analysis of events that occurred in the remote or recent past. It
can show patterns that occurred in the past and over time which can help to see where we
came from and what kind of solutions we have used in the past.

 Phenomenological research – an inductive descriptive research developed from

phenomenological philosophy. Its aim is to describe an experience as it is actually lived by the
person. It is concerned with the study of experience from the perspective of the individual. The
researcher in this type of research attempts to understand one or more individuals’
experiences of a phenomenon by one or more individual.

 Action Research – involves the application of the steps of the scientific method in the
classroom problems. This type of research is done on a very limited scope. The population to
be studied is not so big. This type of research is helpful to beginning researchers.

 Content Analysis – is applied to written or visual materials such as textbooks, newspaper, web
pages, for the purpose of identifying specified characteristics of the materials.
