  • Inquiry
    A question which you ask to get some information. It is the process of asking about or investigating something to find out more about it.
  • Investigation
    A proper inquiry or efficient study
  • Immersion
    The process of learning a skill by using nothing else but that skill. It is the fact of becoming completely involved in something.
  • Research Study
    Research is like exploring things to come up with the best idea/s to respond to the needs of society.
  • Concept
    A conceptual representation abstract objects, or abilities that make up the fundamental building blocks of thoughts and beliefs
  • 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.
  • Research provides the best solution to some of the world problems and also enhance the knowledge of the researchers.
  • Research also introduces new ideas, helps the researchers identify problems and appropriate solutions in new ways and provide new framework to guide thinking and action.
  • Inquiry based learning
    1. Focus
    2. Decide on a topic
    3. Understanding the problem
    4. Understanding the problem
  • Brainstorming
    A way of inquiring ideas that will help you to develop concepts and focusing techniques by asking questions and knowing the interests of the persons involved in the said issues.
  • Things to consider before starting research
    • A problem that is most interesting to you
    • Existing problems in the class/school/campus which one may want to solve
    • Existing needs of the community or society
    • Area of interest, specialization or event from related fields
    • Prevailing theories and philosophy
    • It should be clear, not ambiguous
    • It should be specific, not general
    • It should consider the training and personal qualifications of the researcher
    • It should consider the availability of data involved in the study and the methods and techniques to be employed in gathering them
    • It should consider the availability of effective instruments for gathering the data and their treatment
    • It should consider the financial capacity of the researcher to support the project
    • It should consider the time factor involved in the undertaking
  • Problem statement
    Has three elements: the problem itself, stated clearly and with enough contextual detail to establish why it is important; the method of solving the problem, often stated as a claim or a working thesis; the purpose, statement of objectives and scope of document the writer is preparing.
  • Conceptual Framework
    An analytical tool with several variations and contexts that can be applied in different categories of work where an overall picture is needed to come up with the desired goal. It is necessary to make conceptual and theoretical distinctions and organize ideas.
  • How to create a Conceptual Framework
    1. Conduct a Literature Review
    2. Create a Flow Chart
    3. Write a Narrative
    4. Return and Revise
  • Research Hypothesis
    Vital to all research endeavors, whether qualitative or quantitative, exploratory or explanatory. It involves predicting the relationship between two variables.
  • Hints for formulating a research hypothesis
    • Be certain to read on the subject matter to explain with it before making a final decision
    • A research hypothesis is more than just a topic. It has two elements (variables) that are in relation to each other
    • Avoid judgmental and critical words in your hypothesis
    • Your hypothesis must involve an issue or question that cannot be answered exclusively by the discipline of law
    • Be certain that each term if your hypothesis is clearly understood and defined, do not deal in generalities or assume that the reader knows the meaning of the technical term
    • Specify, if appropriate, whether you will be dealing with state or federal law or both on a comparative basis if appropriate
    • Know that your hypothesis may change over time as your research progresses
  • Statement of the Problem
    Should address the relevance of the research: why is it important to resolve the problem. The goal should not be to find a conclusive solution, but to seek out the reasons behind the problem and propose more effective approaches to understanding it.
  • Purpose of the Statement of the Problem: To describe the substantive focus of the research study, to frame it as a larger theoretical policy or a practical problem and thereby, develop its significance, to pose initial research questions, to forecast the literature to be discussed in the second section and to discuss the limitations of the study.
  • Significance of the Study
    Provides information to the reader on how the study will contribute. It must be exactly stated what the study will contribute and who will benefit from it.
  • Sample Significance of the Study
    • The result of this study will help the Department of Social Welfare and Development, the Administrators, the Teachers, the Parents, and the Students.
  • Scope and Delimitation of the Study
    Sets borders and limitations of the problem inquiry and narrows down the scope of the inquiry. It delimits by geographic location, age, sex, population traits, population size, or other similar aspects to make the study more manageable and feasible.
  • Examples of Delimitation of Research
    • This study covers only those families in Barangay San Jose, Pasig City, benefited by the government's Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program
    • This study includes only those English freshman classes that use both Blended Learning and standard ways of Language teaching
  • Definition of Terms
    Glossary of Research Terms - Conceptual Definition (refers to the dictionary meaning) and Operational Definition (the meaning of the concept or terms as used in a particular study)
