  • Data are correct and verifiable by the researcher and eventually, by the readers of the research work
• Analytical


  • Research must follow stringent procedures to find out the answers to questions that are relevant and appropriate in nature
• Systemic


  • Research is systematic as it follows a step-by-step procedure to answer research questions
• "Every question is equal to an ANSWER as every problem is equals to SOLUTION"
• Systematic

• Chapter 3 is the most critical in writing a research paper
• Approval sheet


  Proves that the authors have successfully met the requirement for the subject and had passed
• Empirical


  • Research must be totally based on hard evidence gathered from observations and real-life experiences

• ARE OF INQUIRY

  Also known as the general study area
• Abstract


  Contains a brief summary of the thesis paper
• Narrowing down the topic for a more specific study is a step in identifying the general study area
• Table of contents


  Contains the topic outline of the thesis paper
• True experimental research


  Designed to identify a cause-effect relationship between the variables where the samples are randomized
• Descriptive research


  Focuses on the description of factors, variables, or phenomena that occur in nature
• Table of contents


  Provides context in terms of content of the research project
• Quasi experimental research


  Mirrors experimental research but it is not true experimental research where a causal relationship can be determined
• Correlational research


  Has a primary objective to compare two variables then identify the relationship between them
• Comparative research


  Has a primary objective to compare two variables in order to identify whether there exists a causative relationship between them
• A non experimental research design focuses on the description of factors, variables, or phenomena that occur in nature.
• Compare two variables in order to identify whether there exists a causative relationship between them. This kind of research usually involves two or more groups and one independent variable.
• Compare two variables then identify the relationship between them
• Objectivity


  • The results of the data are observable and measurable using structured instruments
• Generalizability


  • Quantitative research is from larger sample sizes that the results are based on as a representative of the population
