WELCOME TO PRACTICAL

RESEARCH 1
This is just the scientific way
of what you are doing in
your everyday life -
exploring things, asking
questions, observations and
other activities that you
experience. This is just the
start of the conventional
way of providing answers to
your questions and
observations - and that is
through research which you
will explore in this lesson.
• Specifically, you are expected to share
research experiences and knowledge,
explain the importance of research and
describe the characteristics, processes and
ethics of research.
• Research is an
investigation or
experimentation aimed
at the discovery and
interpretation of facts,
revision of accepted
theories or laws in the
light of new facts, or
practical application of
such new or revised
theories or laws
(Merriam-Webster
Dictionary, Retrieved
from
https://www.merriam-

• According to Zarah
(2020), the main
purpose of research
is to inform action,
to prove a theory
and contribute to
developing
knowledge in a field
or study. This article
will highlight the
significance of
research with the
following points:
1. a tool for building knowledge and
for facilitating learning;
• 2. means to understand various
issues and increase public
awareness;
• 3. an aid to business success;
• 4. a way to prove lies and to
support truths;
• 5. means to find, gauge and seize
opportunities;
• 6. a seed to love reading, writing,
analyzing and sharing valuable
information; and
• 7. nourishment and exercise for the
mind.
• Research involves a systematic
process that focuses on being
objective and gathering a multitude of
information for analysis so that the
researcher can come to a conclusion.
The scientific research process is a
multiple-step process where the steps
are interlinked with the other steps in
the process. If changes are made in
one step of the process, the
researcher must review all the other
steps to ensure that the changes are
reflected throughout the process.
1.Empirical. Research is based on direct
experience or observation by the
researcher.
2.Logical. Research is based on valid
procedures and principles.
3.Cyclical. Research is a cyclical process
because it starts with a problem and
ends with a problem.
4.Analytical. Research utilizes proven
analytical procedures in gathering the

Characteristic
data, whether historical, descriptive,
and experimental and case study.

s of Research
5.Critical. Research exhibits
careful and precise judgment.
6.Methodical. Research is
conducted in a methodical
manner without bias using
systematic method and
procedures.
7.Replicability. The research
design and procedures are

the researcher to arrive at valid
and conclusive results.
• Research is a process of
collecting, analyzing and
interpreting information to
answer questions. But to
qualify as research, the
process must have certain
characteristics: it must, as
far as possible, be
systematic, controlled,
rigorous, valid and verifiable,
empirical and critical.
