    The document defines research as a systematic, empirical investigation aimed at answering questions and solving problems. Research is important as it can expand knowledge and lead to new discoveries. The purposes of research include reviewing existing knowledge, investigating problems or situations, providing solutions, exploring issues, and generating new knowledge. Research is characterized by being carefully designed, systematic, objective, and based on observable facts. It differs from problem solving in that research aims to contribute to general knowledge rather than just solve a specific problem.

    Research is defined as:

    • “ a systematic, controlled,empirical and critical investigation of hypothetical


    propositions about the presumed relations among natural phenomena” (Kerlinger 1973)

    • “ a systemic attempt to provide answers to questions.Its is a systematic attempt to obtain


    adequate solutions to problems (Turkman 1992)

    • “ a systematic search for pertinent information on a specific topic or problem”


    (Gaudencio Aquino 1996)

    • the systematic investigative process used to increase or revise current knowledge by


    discovering new facts (businessdictionary.com)

    • the systemic investigation to find a solution to a problem. (C.R. Kothari (2002), the
    author of the book Research Methodology)

    Importance of Research

     Research can lead to expansion of knowledge and new discoveries.


     It helps us find ways to allocate scarce resources accordingly.
     It may help in studying the effects of observed phenomena.
     It develops critical thinking and analysis.

    Purposes of Research

     To review or synthesize existing knowledge


     To investigate existing situations or problems
     To provide solutions to problems
     To explore or analyze more general issues
     To construct or create new procedures or systems
     To serve as a basis for decision-making
     To be a tool for correction
     To prove or disprove a theory
     To explain a new phenomenon
     To generate new knowledge
     To discover causes or new facts about a noted phenomenon
     To provide findings that will serve as basis for decision making
     To make man’s life more comfortable
     To serve as an instrument for correction
     To help predict what will happen in the future
     To promote a healthy lifestyle
     To satisfy man’s curiosity

    Characteristics of Research

    1. Research is done to solve a problem.


    2. Research is based on the observable facts or experiences which can be verified by
    observation.
    3. Research involves the collection of data from sources.
    4. Research is characterized by carefully designed procedure.
    5. Research is a systematic and accurate investigation.
    6. Research is an original work.
    7. Research is objective and logical.
    8. Research is a critical and accurate undertaking which requires exact observation and the
    most precise form of description.
    9. Research is done by an expert.
    10. Research requires courage and patience.

    Research and Problem Solving

    RESEARCH PROBLEM SOLVING

    May not be a problem, but just answering a question Problem needs to be solved

    More rigorous and broader in scope May be solved in less rigorous and less
    broad methods

    Intended to solve some kind of problem, but this is not Does not always involve research
    the primary aim
    Conducted primarily to make a contribution to general Conducted to solve a problem
    knowledge
    Concerned with broad problems, recurrent phenomena Is concerned with a specific problem, and
    and wide application through generalization ends once the problem is solved
