Lesson
1 Research Paper
What’s In
Most of what we do in our daily lives are based on common sense, what we
have learnt from others or what we have learnt through personal experience or
observation. But sometimes common sense is not the best approach and unavoidably
there are conflicting theories about what is best or what works and what does not in
a particular situation. For instance, what effective in one situation or condition might
be ineffective, or even dangerous in another. or when combined with other measures.
We need to do research so that we will have basis to make informed decisions.
Why is research important? Well, the main purpose of research is to inform

action, to prove a theory, and contribute to developing knowledge in a field or
study. Research is required not just for students and academics, but for all
professionals and nonprofessionals alike.
What is “Research?” Research can be defined as “a systematic and scientific

procedure of data collection, compilation, analysis, interpretation, and implication
pertaining to any problem.” It involves the quest for answers to unsolved problems.
Moreover, research methods may be defined as “a systematic and scientific procedure
of data collection, compilation, analysis, interpretation, and implication pertaining
to any problem (Bajpai, 2011, p.4).”
The two major types of research methods can be broadly divided into
quantitative and qualitative categories. Quantitative research “describes, infers,
and resolves problems using numbers. Emphasis is placed on the collection of
numerical data, the summary of those data and the drawing of inferences from the
data.” Qualitative research, on the other hand, is based on words, feelings,
emotions, sounds and other non-numerical and unquantifiable elements. It has been
noted that “information is considered qualitative in nature if it cannot be analyzed
by means of mathematical techniques (Picknell, 2021). “
In this module, we will learn about the technical terms used in research. Aside
from that, its uses and format of a proper research.
Notes to the Teacher
Prior to understanding of the lesson on research
terminologies, the student is given a brief background about
research, types of research and elements of research. The students
should be able to get familiar with technical terms used in research;
differentiating qualitative method from quantitative method in
research; and identify the elements of a research paper.

What is It
The words above are terms used in research. These are terminologies found
in writing research studies. Let us learn more on what these terms are.
Research is collecting data and information, learning and finding new things.
It is also an advanced knowledge which follows a systematic process of collecting and
analyzing information in order to understand more the phenomena under study.
Action research, thesis, dissertation, and case study are examples of research.
Being familiar with the following terms is helpful in understanding research
more:
Concept is a term that abstractly describes and names an object, a
Examples of concepts include common demographic measures:
- Income – P5,000 – P8,000
- Age – 18 y/o – 20 y/o
- Education Level – High School Graduate, College Graduate, Post
Graduate
- Number of Siblings – 3 siblings in the family, 4 or more siblings in
the family
Theory is an organized body of concepts and principles intended to explain
a particular phenomenon.
Examples include the theory of relativity, atomic theory, theory of

evolution, and quantum theory
Quantitative Method This is a method that focuses on numbers, objective

hard data. It proves hypotheses by statistical analysis and scientific method. It is
called a formal, objective, systematic process in which numerical data is used to
obtain information about the world. It is used to describe variables. It examines
relationships among variables.
Example is a drug abuser telling you how many pills they consume
per week.
Qualitative Method It uses words instead of numbers to display data. It
focuses on feelings not numerical data. Small amount of participants involved in a
qualitative research study. This kind of research method utilizes interviews, archived
written information, and observations to measure the significance of a relationship
between variables.
(https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/55010759/creswell_Qualitative_Inquiry_
2nd_edition-with-cover-page-v2.pdf)
Examples is a drug abuser telling you how they feel about abusing
drugs.
Variables are any quality of a person, group subject, event, condition or
situation that varies or takes on different values.
Examples are age, sex, business income and expenses, country of
birth, capital expenditure, class grades, eye color and
vehicle type
Hypothesis is a logical supposition, a reasonable guess, and educated
conjecture. It provides a tentative explanation of a phenomenon under investigation.
For example, a researcher might be interested in the relationship
between study habits and test anxiety. The researcher would propose
a hypothesis about how these two variables are related, such as "Test
anxiety decreases as a result of effective study habits."
Sampling it is the process of selecting participants who are representatives
of a larger population – gain an understanding of a larger population.
For example, a random sample may include choosing the names
of 25 employees out of a hat in a company of 250 employees. The
population is all 250 employees, and the sample is random because
each employee has an equal chance of being chosen.
Writing a successful research paper is not easy work. There are no shortcuts
to be taken as one sits down to choose a topic, conduct research, determine
methodology, organize (and outline) thoughts, form arguments or interpretations,
cite sources, write the first draft, and, finally, apply the necessary revisions.
But there is no need to be anxious with a research paper assignment! With a
good understanding of the elements of a successful research paper, the process can
be made a whole lot easier and simpler.
A successful research paper fulfills the objective of increasing readers'
knowledge of a given subject. It also accurately, concisely, and comprehensively
relays unbiased information on that subject: information that, of course, must
include valid evidence to support the premise.
SMART is a good way to remember the fundamentals of research paper writing,

and to help prepare an author in writing a successful research paper.
▪ Specific: A research paper should be specific. It should maintain its focus on the
given subject of research - answering a specific research question - and not be
inconsistent or aimless as to convey information or make claims on other,
unrelated topics or subjects.
▪ Measurable: A research paper must contain specific, proven research, and cites
all research sources and related literature.
▪ Attainable: A research paper must provide a thesis statement, one that answers
the research question and contributes to the knowledge of the given subject. It
can't propose to answer a question that doesn't relate to real life or isn't based
on an existing body of knowledge.
▪ Realistic: A research paper is objective and realistic. Should it be made to
present interpretations, arguments, or evaluations, then it should do so based
on valid evidence from reliable sources.
▪ Time: A research paper cannot be written without the researcher knowing the
limits, timeframes, and focus of the required work. Without the writer /
researcher stating the scope and limitations of the research paper, it is likely that
the thesis statement will be hampered by an inability to answer the given
research question or focus on the given research subject.

Once you have chosen a research topic, you will need to narrow it down into a
research statement or question. The sooner you do this in your research process, the
more time you'll save because you can conduct more focused searches.
Here are some common ways you can narrow down a research topic:
By demographic characteristics
Narrow it down by age group, occupation, ethnic group, gender, etc.
e.g. challenges faced by international college graduates entering the workforce
By relevant issues
Try to identify key issues related to your topic, especially ones that you have
an opinion on. You can turn your opinion into your thesis statement or
research question.
e.g. challenges faced by college graduates who are unable to find meaningful
or relevant work
By location
Focus on a specific country, province, city, or type of environment (rural vs.
urban).
e.g. challenges faced by college graduates entering the workforce in rural
Ontario
By timeframe
Decide whether you want to study recent events or a historical time period.
This will also help you decide how current the information you use must be.
e.g. challenges faced by college graduates entering the workforce during the
COVID-19 pandemic
By causes
You can take the perspective of looking for causes of an issue you are
researching.
e.g. Why do employers hire fewer college graduates?

causes.
1. There is new cause for concern for parents who think they are feeding their young
children safe and healthy foods. A new lawsuit claims the Environmental
Protection Agency is allowing unacceptably high levels of pesticides in some foods
favored by children. Baguio City and La Trinidad, Benguet, Pangasinan and La,
Union are alleging everything from grapes to oranges to potatoes contain pesticide
residues that are excessive for children. The WHO is being accused of not setting
child safe pesticide limits as required by the Food Quality Protection Act of 1996.
"These safety standards exist. They've existed since 1996. They need to be
enforced. We do need to have these levels set and ideally they'll be set at 10 times
the safety standards so that they will protect kids," said Department of Health
Secretary Francisco Duque III.
2. While California has been the state most prone to serious earthquakes in recent
years, there are many other fault zones in other areas of the United States. For
example, geologists and seismologists have predicted a 97 percent chance of a
major earthquake in the New Madrid seismic zone of the central United States
(including Arkansas, Missouri, Tennessee, and Kentucky) between now and the
year 2035. While earthquakes with the power of the one that hit the greater Los
Angeles area in January 1994 are fairly rare, less severe earthquakes can interrupt
your normal living patterns and cause substantial injury.
Lesson Differentiating

What’s In
In Lesson 1, you have learned about research terminologies. To recall, the

research terminologies pertain to the previous lesson. When coupled with your
schema or background knowledge, technical terms or research terminologies will
come in handy in writing your research papers.
Now, we are familiar with these technical terms in research. Let us find out
the differences between qualitative and quantitative methods in research. These are
the major kinds of research methods. Study the differences of the research methods
below. The table shows the simplest description of each research method

What’s More
Activity: The Good and The Bad
Knowing the advantages and disadvantages of quantitative and qualitative

methods will help you make a better decision as to the appropriate approach to
use. Both methods are quite useful depending on the type of study.
QUANTITATIVE ADVANTAGES
You may be very familiar with quantitative research from your science classes where
you learned and practiced using the scientific method. A problem or question is
examined by deductively forming a hypothesis derived from theory. Controlled,
objective testing and experimentation ultimately supports or rejects your hypotheses.
Each step is standardized to reduce bias when collecting and analyzing data. A big
advantage of this approach is that the results are valid, reliable and generalizable to
a larger population. Quantitative research is advantageous for studies that involve
numbers, such as measuring achievement gaps between different groups of students
or assessing the effectiveness of a new blood pressure medication.
QUANTITATIVE DISADVANTAGES
While quantitative research methods work well in the laboratory under tightly
controlled conditions, measuring phenomena like human behavior in natural
settings is trickier. Survey instruments are vulnerable to errors such as mistakes in
measurement and flawed sampling techniques. Another disadvantage is that
quantitative research involves numbers, but some topics are too difficult to quantify
in numbers. For example, constructing an effective survey with closed-ended
questions about how people fall in love would be difficult.
QUALITATIVE ADVANTAGES
Qualitative research is often used to conduct social and behavioral studies because
human interactions are more complex than molecular reactions in a beaker.
Subjectivity, nonrandom sampling and small sample size distinguishes qualitative
research from quantitative research. A big advantage of qualitative research is the
ability to deeply probe and obtain rich descriptive data about social phenomena
through structured interviews, cultural immersion, case studies and observation, for
instance. Examples include ethnography, narratives and grounded theory.
QUALITATIVE DISADVANTAGES
Qualitative studies often take more time to complete due to the painstaking nature
of gathering and analyzing field notes, transcribing interviews, identifying themes
and studying photographs, for instance. Studies are not easily replicable or
generalizable to the general population. Conscious or unconscious bias can influence
the researcher’s conclusions. Lacking rigorous scientific controls and numerical
data, qualitative findings may be dismissed by some researchers as anecdotal
information.

Terminology plays an important role in the understanding of contexts and
specialized texts. Understanding the intricate terminological details of the
technical and scientific contexts helps students comprehend what the main
message of the document is, and it helps specialists to transmit the content more
effectively.
Many times those that undertake a research project often find they are
not aware of the differences between Qualitative Research and Quantitative
Research methods. Many mistakenly think the two terms can be used
interchangeably.
Quantitative methods are ideally suited for finding out who, what, when
and where. Likewise with qualitative methods, it also seeks out the who, what,
however, it does not focus on the when and where. Additionally, it includes the
question how. In relation to this information, research gives statements with
proofs through careful observations and calculations.
The main purpose of research is to inform action, to prove a theory, and

contribute to developing knowledge in a field or study. Below are 7 significance of
research (Zarah 2019).
1. A Tool for Building Knowledge and for Facilitating Learning

2. Means to Understand Various Issues and Increase Public Awareness
3. An Aid to Business Success
4. A Way to Prove Lies and to Support Truths
5. Means to Find, Gauge, and Seize Opportunities
6. A Seed to Love Reading, Writing, Analyzing, and Sharing Valuable
Information
7. Nourishment and Exercise for the Mind
Finding reasons why research is important seems like a no-brainer, but

many people avoid getting involved in research. The lazy (if not mentally-drained)
student is probably thinking - "Oh, no. Not again," while a disinterested academic
could just be doing it to secure job tenure and/or a promotion. Yet, for those who
like to learn, whether they are members of a learning institution or not, doing
research is not just an imperative, but a need.

What I Can Do
Activity: QUALITATIVE VS. QUANTITATIVE
All of the observations in this activity were qualitative; that is, you observed a
quality about an object (it smelled good, it was green, etc.). Another type of
observation is quantitative, meaning that it can be described or measured in concrete
numerical terms.
The following observations are quantitative: There are 30 students in my class.

I weigh 98 pounds. 1 ate a pound of potatoes. Determine which of the following
statements is quantitative and which is qualitative. Write QUANTI if it is quantitative,
and QUALI if it is qualitative.
1. _____________ The cup had a mass of 454 grams.

2. _____________ The temperature outside is 250 C.
3. _____________ It is warm outside.

The Importance of Research for ICT Teachers
February 8, 2011
How important is research for teachers in general, and ICT teachers in

particular? One might be tempted to say that people learn in the same way now as
they did thousands of years ago, so research, apart from keeping abreast of the latest
developments in technology, is pretty redundant. I think there are problems with
that attitude.
First, we don’t know what we don’t know. Research can shed light on issues
we didn’t even know existed, and can raise questions we hadn’t realized even needed
asking. Second, I’m not convinced that people do learn in the same way as they did
thousands of years ago. Technology has meant that we can make mistakes that
would have been fatal in the past, through the use of simulations and modelling.
Social media has meant that we can canvass, or be exposed to, views from a much
wider range of people than would have been possible hitherto. This happens almost
by accident. For example, I recently wrote an article about how school districts in the
USA are spending their money on computer hardware. This led to comments by John
McLear, Michael Pickett and someone called Hamish. All their views are interesting,
especially as two of them (John and Michael) seem to feel the same way as I do about
tablets vs netbooks (article on that subject is already in the works).
Moreover, Michael has provided a couple of links to articles on his website
which I am looking forward to reading, and provided a further reference on Twitter
this morning. Perhaps in a sense the actual mechanisms by which stuff enters our
brains, stays there and then becomes useful in a practical way really hasn’t changed
for millennia – which may or may not be true, but in a sense that is irrelevant.
I’d also say that, if you discovered that your doctor hasn’t read a medical
journal article since he or she qualified, you might consider changing your doctor!
Hopefully, research is not a life or death issue in education, but I do believe that
what makes a professional a professional is keeping up-to-date with the issues and
thinking that are pertinent to that subject. That’s why it’s quite right that the powers-
that-be believe teachers should continue to do research, although I agree with
Christina Preston (see below) that such research doesn’t have to be at Masters level.
What is research? On the one hand you have the highly academic stuff that
universities and other institutions engage in. On the other hand, you have Freda
Bloggs keeping a note of what happens in her classroom when she introduces a new
application into her teaching. And somewhere in the middle are people like myself,
who carry out research via online surveys or on Twitter. The methodology may not
be scientific in the true sense of the term, but I like to think that at the very least it
can act as a catalyst for discussion and flag up issues for further exploration.

Color Psychology Paper

How does color affect one’s mood?
Colors may just seem simple and unimportant, but they affect our daily lives more
than we may know. If someone is feeling angry, it could just be because they’re angry,
or it could be perhaps that they are surrounded by or looking at the color red. That’s
right! People’s moods can change just because they are looking at different colors!
There are many theories on how just a simple color can change one’s whole mood.
According to Johnson (2007), color does affect mood by producing certain chemicals
and stimulating different feelings such as hunger. For example, blue can make one
feel calm because it releases calming chemicals, and red can make one hungry
because it is an appetite stimulant. Yellow can make one feel irritated, and it is a fact
that people lose their temper most in yellow rooms. However, pink is tranquilizing
and can make one feel weak. In conclusion, Johnson says that depending on the
color, one’s body can do things (like producing chemicals) that cause a certain
emotional reaction (mad, sad, etc.). Another idea, by Smith (2007), is that the effect
color produces is based on what one’s body does in response. For example, yellow is
mentally stimulating, and activates memory, whereas red increases confidence. Also,
brown can make a person feel orderly and stable, while a dark blue can make one
feel sad. Therefore, Smith says that different colors do in fact change one’s mood and
the consequences can be negative or positive. A third writer, Wollard, (2000) seems
to think that color can affect one’s mood, but the effect also can depend on one’s
culture and what one’s personal reflection may be. For example, someone from Japan
may not associate red with anger, as people from the U.S. tend to do. Also, a person
who likes the color brown may associate brown with happiness. However, Wollard
does think that colors can make everyone feel the same, or close to the same, mood.
According to Wollard, pink reduces aggression, which is why the walls of the jail cells
in the Seattle prison are pink! Also, brown can make one feel comforted. Wollard feels
that colors do affect one’s mood, but there are other factors that can alter what one
is supposed to feel. Eric, John, and Paraag’s (2007) main point about color
psychology is that color has both a physiological and psychological effect. For
example, green makes people feel relaxed because it relaxes their muscles and makes
them breathe deeper and more slowly. Furthermore, blue lowers blood pressure,
which makes one feel calm. Eric, John, and Paraag conclude that color affects one’s
mood because of what it does to the body. Yet another idea, by Airey (2006), is that
color is energy, and it can have a physical, mental, spiritual, and/or emotional effect
on people. He states that black can make one feel sophisticated and secure, but it
can also make one feel depressed. Also brown can make a person feel reliable and
serious, while yellow lifts self-esteem. Therefore, Airey concludes that different colors
can have different kinds of effects on people.
There are three ideas about color psychology in these sources, and they all say that
color affects one’s mood. They differ based on what factors influence the effects of
color, such as culture, opinion, and what goes on inside one’s body. One of the three
ideas is that color affects mood based on one’s personal opinions. For example, if a
person dislikes the color pink, he may associate pink with hate. Another idea states
that color affects mood based on one’s culture. For example, someone from the U.S.
may think of the color green when referring to envy, while people in Japan think of
yellow in connection with wanting what someone else has. However, the majority of
the sources consulted say that color affects mood by influencing what goes on inside
of people. For example, seeing the color blue releases calming chemicals, which in
turn makes one calm. Also, because yellow is the hardest color for the eye to focus
on, people may become irritated when looking at yellow, and it is a proven fact that
babies cry most in yellow nurseries. These theories do not seem to have much in
common.
In order to test ideas about how color affects one’s mood (color psychology) this
researcher will test sixty middle school students (thirty girls and thirty boys) on how
the colors green, blue, black, yellow, red, pink, and brown make them feel. The
students will mark the feeling that each color makes them feel, according to the
choices shown on the example survey below.
(The only thing that changes in each different survey is the color being tested and
the gender of the student responding):
Choose as many answers as fit your feeling for the color. Does the color make you
feel:
Mad/Angry?
Sad/Depressed/Cold?
Secure/Safe?
Irritated/Annoyed?
Calm?
Relaxed?
Fun/Excited?
Happy/Cheery?
Tired/Sleepy/Drowsy?
Bored?
Losing Energy/Weak?
Neutral/Balanced?
Love/Affection?
Dislike/Hate?
Most female middle school students associated these feelings with
these colors…Black Green Yellow Pink Brown Red Blue
Sad/Cold/ Depressing (43%)
Neutral/ Balanced (27%)
Happy/Cheery (53%)
Happy/Cheery (27%) and
Love/Affection (27%)
Bored (40%)
Mad/Angry (30%) and
Calm (23%)
So, the greatest number of female middle school students thought that black made
them feel sad, cold, and depressed; and green made most of them feel neutral and
balanced, and so on. The numbers in parentheses by the feelings show the
percentage of girls that felt that way. The reason most of these percentages are so
low is that there were many different responses, and for most feeling categories there
were only one or two girls who felt that way. Most male middle school students
associated these feelings with these colors…
Black Green Yellow Pink Brown Red Blue
Sad/Cold/Depressed (37%)
Secure/Safe (27%)
Happy/Cheery (17%)
Bored (20%)
Mad/Angry (27%)
Relaxed (23%)
So, the greatest number of male middle school students thought that black made
them feel sad, cold, and depressed; and green made most of them feel secure and
safe, and so on. The numbers in parentheses by the feeling show the percentage of
boys that felt that way. The reason these percentages are so low is that there were
many different responses, and for most feeling categories there were only one or two
boys who felt that way.
Color does affect one’s mood, but it can affect boys and girls differently. For example,
while most female middle school students found green neutral and balancing, most
male middle school students found it secure and safe. However, there are also some
similarities between the female and male middle school students. For example, most
female middle school students thought that brown made them feel bored, and so did
the male middle school students! Also, both found that pink made them feel love and
affection. However, some results in this study were different from the research cited.
For example, the research stated that brown would make girls and boys feel secure
and safe, but instead it made them feel bored. Furthermore, the research said that
yellow would make boys and girls feel irritated, but most boys and girls reported that
it made them feel happy and cheery. Overall, most of the results were different from
the research sources consulted. In any case, it is obvious that colors have a great
effect on one’s mood.
