Module Title: Introduction to Research in Teaching
IV. Pre-Test Activity:
1. To you, what is research? Educational Research?

Answer:
For me, research is a process of systematic inquiry that entails collection of data;
documentation of critical information; and analysis and interpretation of that data/information,
in accordance with suitable methodologies set by specific professional fields and academic
disciplines.
Educational research is a type of systematic investigation that applies empirical methods to

solving challenges in education. It adopts rigorous and well-defined scientific processes in order
to gather and analyze data for problem-solving and knowledge advancement. Educational
research can be broadly categorized into 3 which are descriptive research, correlational
research, and experimental research.
2. Is research important in teaching? Why?
Answer:
YES, because research improves teaching and learning methods by empowering you with data
to help you teach and lead more strategically and effectively. Educational research helps
students apply their knowledge to practical situations. Cultivating a research-based approach to
developing your practice provides evidence to effect change in your teaching, your classroom,
your school, and beyond. It helps teacher find solutions to particular problems arising in your
classroom or school. underpin professional learning of knowledge, skills and understanding.
3. What is Science Education? Basic Research?

Answer:
Science education is the field concerned with sharing science content and process (the
scientific method), some social science, and some teaching pedagogy. Science education aims
to increase people’s understanding of science and the construction of knowledge as well as to
promote scientific literacy and responsible citizenship.
Basic research is primarily concerned with the formulation of a theory or a contribution to the
existing body of knowledge. Its major aim is to obtain and use the empirical data to
formulate,expand or evaluate theory. Some have termed this research as pure or fundamental.
This research draws its pattern and spirit from the physical sciences. It represents a rigorous
and structured type of analysis. It employs careful sampling procedures in order to extend the
findings beyond the group or situation and thus develops theories by discovering proved
generalizations or principles. The main aim of basic research is the discovery of knowledge
solely for the sake of knowledge. It has little concern for the application of the findings or social
usefulness of the findings.
V. Lesson Content
Answer the questions below.
1. Meaning of Research, Educational Research, Experimental Research, and Basic Research.
 Research is a process of systematic inquiry that entails collection of data;

documentation of critical information; and analysis and interpretation of that
data/information, in accordance with suitable methodologies set by specific
professional fields and academic disciplines.
 Educational research refers to the systematic collection and analysis of data related to
the field of education.
 Experimental research is a study that strictly adheres to a scientific research design. It
includes a hypothesis, a variable that can be manipulated by the researcher, and
variables that can be measured, calculated and compared.
 Basic research, also called pure research or fundamental research, is a type of scientific
research with the aim of improving scientific theories for better understanding and
prediction of natural or other phenomena.
2. What is Science Education?

Answer:
Science education is the field of science that is concerned with sharing of science content, some
social science, and the process of teaching science pedagogy in order to provide expectations
for the development of understanding part of the scientific community.
3. Is research important in teaching? Why?
Answer:
YES, because Educational research improves teaching and learning methods by empowering
you with data to help you teach and lead more strategically and effectively. Educational
research helps students apply their knowledge to practical situations. Cultivating a research-
based approach to developing your practice provides evidence to effect change in your
teaching, your classroom, your school, and beyond. One way for them to do so is to conduct
research, right in their own classroom.When a teacher knows whether and why the teaching is
effective or not. It can start to make improvements because this need to find out whether a
teaching practice is effective has become more urgent, because student outcomes are now
more wide-ranging. Through research it can helps find solutions to particular problems arising
in your classroom or school, underpin professional learning of knowledge, skills and
understanding and it can connect you with sources of information and networks of professional
support.
4. What is the role of research in teaching?

Answer:
Research helps teachers to interrogate aspects of their teaching practices and evaluate learning
processes with a greater understanding of its relevance to their careers. It helps in assessment
of particular situations in order to conform to the practices required in the pedagogical field. To
expand the existing body of knowledge by providing solutions to different problems in
pedagogy while improving teaching and learning practices. Educational researchers also seek
answers to questions bothering on learner-motivation, development, and classroom
management.
Note: You can use a separate sheet of bond paper for your answer.
VI. Post Assessment: (15 points)
1. In a short essay, write what you have learned and how important research is in teaching.
HOW IMPORTANT RESEARCH IN TEACHING
Research plays a vital role in teaching right? The quality of research work directly translates to
the quality of teaching and learning in the classroom, thereby benefiting the students, the
society and the country. Research can help teachers find solutions to particular problems
arising in your classroom or school, underpin professional learning of knowledge, skills and
understanding that connect with the sources of information and networks of professional
support. Instead of reusing the same old teaching strategies that have worked in the past, they
may have to come up with innovative ways of teaching. Not only that, teachers are also
encouraged to come up with their own curriculum initiatives. Another way research can help
teachers in their work is how it clarifies and even challenges with their own beliefs and
assumptions about teaching and learning. For the students it helps them to have a detailed
analysis of everything. When you have a proper in-depth analysis of any topic, the result comes
out to be fruitful and also the knowledge is enhanced.
