LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET
PRACTICAL RESEARCH 2
Week 4
I. Introduction
Research in any field of interest is expected to be complexed in procedure
and methodologies. It must be well planned by the researcher to come up with
reliable results but be clear in mind that any plan may be revise and refine
later if there is a need. Designing a well-defined study includes the identifying
of subject matter, scope, frameworks, and methodologies. Providing these
things will make the research easier to study.
III. Objectives:
At the end of this learning activity sheet, you are expected to:

A significant research must be helpful to everyone. It must be timely and
relevant to current issues of the society. All researchers identify the benefactors
of the study and the how these entities are to be benefited. Be reminded that
any research is significant always to future researchers since they are the one
who modify, amplify, negate, and affirm the result of the research work. Doing
this in your research paper makes the whole study important and significant.
Example 3. Analyze the provided abstract below. Try to determine the outline
of the research design.
Research Title: Perception on the Implementation of the Philippine National
Identification in Subic, Zambales during November 2019
Researchers: Tyrah Lou Cabigas, Clarissa Mallari, and Chabelita Apagalang
Research Abstract
For the better, the National ID system hopes to streamline government service but
when the very controversial issue about the violation of a person’s right to privacy leaked,
people became alarmed about its implementation. This study focused on the perception of
Subic citizens in the implementation of the Philippine national identification. The purpose of
this study is to know whether Subic citizens agreed or disagree with the national ID’s
implementation. The method applied in this study was descriptive-quantitative-causal
comparative. Four hundred respondents were computed and identified using simple random
technique in different barangays of Subic. Data were gathered using researcher made
questionnaire through survey. It has been found out that most respondents are female aging
from 25 to 64 years old who are self-employed, married, and college graduate citizens. Result
also shows that Subic moderately agree that having a national ID card is a big help in making
transactions easier to process. The study also revealed that there is no significant difference on
the perception in the implementation of the Philippine national identification when grouped
according to sex, occupation, and highest educational attainment, while significant to age and
civil status.
Conducting the research is gathering the needed data. Before this, the
researcher must first provide the necessary instrument. The instrument must be
based on the statement of the problem raised at the beginning of the research
work. It must be reliable and exact because the data it will gather will answer
the specific questions of the study. Take note, a clear instrument also identifies
the statistical treatment to be used. There are two classifications of research
instrument according to Calderon and Gonzales (1993): 1) Clerical Tools and 2)
Mechanical Tools. Clerical tools are data gathering instruments like interview
sheets, questionnaire, observation sheets, registration form, and the like. While
mechanical tools are tangible instruments used to determine the measurements
of something. These tools will be further discussed in the succeeding Learning
Activity Sheets.
Designing the research is also identifying the statistical treatments of the study.
Statistical treatments are tools used to analyze the gathered data. It must be
identified first for the researcher to clearly see how the data will work. Most of
the common quantitative statistical treatments are mean, standard deviation, t-
test, f-test, Pearson r, and more others. The researcher may use software to
easily analyze the gathered data like MS Excels Data Analysis and SPSS.
Example 4. From the given research title and abstract of the study, fill out the
diagram below to see the outline of the research design. If the abstract does not
contain the needed information, then write NOT AVAILABLE inside the box.
Subject Matter:
Students misconceptions about the solution methods of exponential equation.
Research Title
In conducting any research, it is necessary first to create the title of your
study. Research title is the first thing that a student is read, therefore it must
be attractive enough to give interest to the reader. The primary function of a
research title is to provide a precise summary of the paper’s content (Kulkarni,
2013). Just like any other titles, a research title must convey the content of the
study. It must describe what is inside and expected in the academic paper.
According to Calderon and Gonzales (1993 ), the following are the
guidelines of creating a research title:
1. Generally, the title is formulated before the start of the research work. It
may be revised and refined later if there is a need.
2. The title must contain the subject matter of the study, the locale of the
study, the population involved, and the period when the data were
gathered or will be gathered.
3. It must be broad enough to include all aspects of the subject matter
studied or to be studied. Hence, the title indicates what is expected to be
found inside the thesis report.
4. It must be as brief as concise as possible.
5. Avoid using the terms “An Analysis of,” “A Study of”, “An Investigation of’
and the like. All these things are understood to been done or to be done
when a research is conducted.
6. If the title contains more than one line, it must be written in an inverted
pyramid, all words in capital letters.
8. Use correct grammar and capitalization with all first word s and last
words capitalized. All the nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives, and
1
adverbs that appear between the first and last words of the title are also
capitalized.
Here are some examples of research titles with their respective
corresponding authors.

has undergone acclimation process. Data were gathered using laboratory sheet and laboratory
equipment and apparatus and were analyzed using t-test and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). The
experimentations and observations done were based from the guidelines mandated by WHO and
related studies. The potency of each treatment groups was observed through numbers or trials
along with the comparison with the positive control, metaldehyde. The researchers desired to
identify the significant different between each group and the control, supported by the outcome
of the study. the results concluded that among the three samples, the black pepper showed no
significant difference against the metaldehyde with the manifestation of the p-value which
accepts the null hypothesis.
