    DEFINITION OF RESEARCH

    n Research follows a step-by-step process of investigation that uses a standardized


    approach in answering questions or solving problems (Polit
    & Beck, 2004).
    n Systematic application of the scientific inquiry in order to find solutions to
    problems and contribute to knowledge (Avilla, 2016).
    n Research plays an important role in tertiary education. Its main purpose is to
    answer a question or to solve an issue (Palispis, 2004).
    n Research is a continuous undertaking of making known the unknown (Sanchez,
    2002). It entails an investigation of new facts leading to the discovery of new
    ideas, methods, or improvements.
    n Research is an investigation following ordered steps leading to a discovery of new
    information or concepts (Sanchez, 1999).
    n Research is a very careful investigation of something that purports the
    contribution of additional or new knowledge and wisdom (Bassey, as cited by
    Coleman & Briggs, 2002).
    n Research is a tested approach of thinking and employing validated instruments
    and steps in order to obtain a more adequate solution to a problem that is
    otherwise impossible to address under ordinary means (Crawford, as cited by
    Alcantara & Espina, 1995).

    CHARACTERISTICS OF RESEARCH

    1) The research should be systematic. There is a system to follow in conducting


    research as there is a system for formulating each of its parts. There is a big
    system (macro) and under it are small systems (micro). The macrosystem is
    composed of chapters that are organized in a logical and scientific manner. The
    microsystem consists of the detailed contents of each chapter.
    2) The research should be objective. Research involves the objective process of
    analyzing phenomena of importance to any profession or to different fields or
    disciplines (Nieswiadomy, 2005). A researcher should objectively look at the basis
    on which the work is founded. He or she must never produce results out of
    nowhere; the results of the research should be validated. These results must
    never be based from biases. It is very important for the researcher to clarify
    indicators and boundaries within which the research is confined because these
    factors could affect objectivity.
    3) The research should be feasible. Any problem of extraordinary nature that
    directly or indirectly affects any profession is a feasible problem to study.
    4) The research should be empirical. There should be supporting pieces of
    evidence and accompanying details for every variable used in the study.
    References and citations of facts and information that the researcher has
    gathered in his or her paper must be included. Plagiarism constitutes claiming
    another person’s idea or intellectual property as one’s own. Through proper
    attribution, the researcher states that the knowledge being shared through the
    study was taken from the study of other experts.
    5) The research should be clear. The choice of variables used in the study should
    be explained by the researcher. This can be done by enriching the review of
    literature or by discussing the different theories on which the selection of the
    variable is based. Therefore, there must be sufficient indicators for each variable.
    These variables can be gathered from different published and unpublished
    materials.
    QUALITATIVE RESEARCH QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH
    -employs qualitative (quality) methods. -uses quantitative procedures where the
    -deals with the characteristics observed from respondents’ traits are translated
    the respondents with minimal to no use of numerically.
    statistical analysis. -focuses on the analysis and interpretation of
    the raw numerical data gathered.
    example:
    male 1
    female 2
    hot 30°C
    cold -30°C

    QUALITATIVE QUANTITATIVE
    objective -understands underlying reasons -expresses data in terms of
    -gains insights in the prevailing numerical values
    trends -draws out exact ideas from
    -interpretative and contextualized samples
    hypothesis -may emerge as the study -specifically stated and tested
    progresses (generating hypothesis)
    sample -comes in small numbers -comes in large numbers
    -respondents are referred to as -respondents are selected to
    subjects represent a population
    data collection -unstructured (free in form) -structured procedures
    procedures
    data analysis -inductive analysis of data -deductive analysis of data
    -minimal to no use of statistical tools -requires the use of statistical use
    outcome -findings are particularly in-depth -findings are generalized
    about a certain phenomenon situations
    methods -field research, case study and -census, survey, experiment, and
    secondary analysis secondary analysis

    Most reports and papers will include an informative Abstract. Abstracts should be informative
    and concise, and above all provide a summarization of key results and discussion of those results
    (what is the implication of your results). Note your aim, sum up approach briefly, and then
    provide results and conclusions. An abstract is not a table of contents, a blow-by-blow account of
    methods, or an introduction. It should be able to stand on its own and inform the reader of your
    results and findings. Think of it as the longer report in miniature.
