Objectives:

After the discussions, participants will be able to…..


•start writing a research proposal
•outline the manuscript as a
requirement of the subject
•Submit a research proposal ASAP
Research actually is…
Research is an investigation of an idea using a scientific, engineering, or
research method.
Scientific Method Engineering Method Academic Research Method

State your question Define the problem Identify and develop your
topic
Do background research Do background research Literature Survey

Formulate your hypothesis Specify requirements Set goals

Design experiment, Create multiple solutions and Theoretical Methods


establish procedure choose the best one

Test your hypothesis Build prototype Experimental Methods

Analyze your results and Test and redesign as needed Data analysis and
draw conclusions interpretation
Communicate results Communicate results Communicate results
Points to Ponder…
1. No research methodology is better or worse than the other as both
as proven to be useful in most research endeavors (Cohen, Manion
& Morrison, 2000).
2. Methodologies represent different ways of looking at the world-
ways to observe, measure and understand social reality (Neuman,
2003).
3. Research project begins with examining your own orientation to
basic tenets about the nature of reality, the purpose of doing
research and type of knowledge that can be produced (Merriman,
2008).
Why conduct RESEARCH in the field of
PRACTICE?
• New knowledge, skills and
improvement = SOLUTION – if there
is no answer to a particular problem
• Augment and develop new tools – if
there are answers to problems but
these are not yet tested
• Theory building and testing – if
there are contradiction exists
• Uncover a phenomenon – if there is
a RESEARCH GAP in knowledge
Sources of Research Knowledge
 Scholarly works (published
journals/articles/case report)
 Offshoot of other Researchers
 Technological Advancement
 Development/Engineering
 Personal Experiences, Suggestions from
Experts and Others
RESEARCH PROBLEM:
• The formulation of a researchable
problem does not happen
accidentally
• Difference between general and
specific problems
• Research topic identification and
formulation
• Criteria for selecting researchable
problem
• The characteristics, requirements
and factors to consider in the
statement of a researchable
problem
CRITERIA for selection a researchable problem
1.novelty
2.greatest interest of the researcher
3.qualification and competence of the researcher
4.scientific interest
5.intellectual dimension of the problem
6.relevant to the needs of the people
7.Innovative
8.Cost effective –practical value
9.Theoretical value
10.Benefits of the possible results
Other factors to consider in a
RESEARCH TITLE
 it provides a bird’s eye view of
the topic
 It serves as the framework of
the research report
 It should not be more than 15-
18 words
 It avoids phrases like (A study
of..An investigation on.. An
analysis…An
Inquiry..Implications..)
 It catches readers attention
 It motivates the readers to fully
read the study
INTRODUCTION/Background of the
study
 Establish the area or field of your
research
 Review and synthesize the
previous researches in the field
of your study research (5 years
ago)
 Illustrate gaps in knowledge in
the previous researches
 Illustrate your research in detail
 State the purpose of the study
 Outline the purpose of the
researcher
 Limit only for 2 – 3 pages
SIGNIFICANCE
most to least benefited contributions
of the study to the stakeholders
SCOPE and DELIMITATION –
answers what, who, how, why,
when, where questions

delimitation – act of delimiting or


reducing certain thing into
specifics.

Limitation means weakness.


Criteria in Formulating RH
1.Must be simple, specific,
and concisely tested
2.Must be based on theories
or empirical evidences to
make it worthy of
hypothesis testing
3.MUST be TESTABLE
Points to Ponder!
• Selection of research methodologies depends on FITNESS FOR
PURPOSE
• Selection of methodology requires:
- The research problem will often indicate a specific research
methodology to be used in the inquiry
- The researcher’s own experiences, training and worldview
- The audience to whom the research is to be reported (Creswell,2003)
Ultimate Goal!!!
• Produce a credible answer to the research question
- The research question drives the choice of a research design
- The characteristics of specific designs suggest they will produce more
credible answers to specific types of research questions than other
designs
a. Specific purpose
b. Specific procedures and analysis for each
