1. Define Research
Research is seeking to answers to a question. It is a series of inquiries. Research is most
often determined by the need to find solutions to problems. A substantive findings or
hypothesis is one that is repeatedly survives such probing. This is best done in orderly
approach focusing on building a strong foundation for a theoretical framework upon which
subsequent work can be built.

2. Describe the scientific method of solving problems.


 Define and limit the problem
 Formulate the hypothesis
 Gather data or information relevant to the problem
 Analyze and interpret findings
 Formulate conclusions based on findings
 Formulate recommendations based on the conclusions presented

3. Discuss different kinds of research


 Historical Research - A HISTORICAL RESEARCH deals with what happened in the
past. This research, however, is not merely collecting data or an arrangement of
events.
 DESCRIPTIVE RESEARCH deals with the present situation. This concerns current
practices, problems in the community, in organizations, attitudes and behavior of
people and so on.
 CAUSAL-COMPARATIVE RESEARCH - This can be used to investigate possible
cause and effect relationships by observing some existing consequence and
searching back through the data for plausible causal factors.
 EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH - Inquires into what will be and it is used to test a
causal relationship between an independent variable and a dependent variable. The
word experiment is usually associated with biological science and physics.
 ACTION RESEARCH is used primarily to solve a problem either in the classroom of
in an office. It can be done by one or a group of researchers. The findings through
cannot be generalized to a larger group. Action Research can be done to develop
new skills or new approaches and to solve problems with direct application to the
classroom or working world setting.

4. Differentiate Quantitative and Qualitative Research method


 Quantitative Research: Quantitative research is primarily concerned with collecting
numerical data and analyzing it statistically to answer specific research questions or
test hypotheses. It aims to provide objective, quantifiable answers to research
questions.
 Qualitative Research: Qualitative research focuses on exploring and understanding
the underlying meanings, motivations, and experiences of individuals or groups. It
seeks to gain insight into complex phenomena and doesn't rely on numerical data.

5. Enumerate the criteria in the selection of a problem


 The interest and the ability of the researcher
 Importance
 Novelty
 Time
 Cost
 Dangers or hazards
 Availability of an Adviser

6. Discuss the steps of Title formulation


 The title is the question you would like to be answered.
 It answers the question what, where, and when.
 It may identify the subjects of the study.
 Accuracy should not be sacrificed just to make the title brief.
 The word “study” is avoided in the beginning of a title.
 Instead, the kind of study be used like “The Effectivity of...” “The Relationship
Between...” “An Evaluation of...” “A Comparative Study of...”

7. Describe the introduction & Locale of the study


 The introduction to your research work tells how you came about to be interested in
your study. It provides the reader with the background information of the research. Its
purpose is to ascertain a framework for the research. It is normally a short one that
varies from 1-4 pages in length.
 Locale of the study - This part describes the locale of the study as the location map.
In describing the locale, the researcher must consider only the relevant
characteristics of the place / locale that have something to do with the research.

8. Differentiate the Framework of the Study


 Purpose: A theoretical framework is a broad, established set of concepts, principles,
or theories that provide a foundation for understanding a particular phenomenon or
research topic. It offers a systematic and organized view of the existing body of
knowledge related to the research problem.
 Purpose: A conceptual framework, on the other hand, is a narrower and more
specific representation of the research problem. It identifies and defines the key
concepts or variables that are directly relevant to the research and their
interrelationships. It serves as a blueprint for the study.

9. Write at least 5 topics of research you want to study


 The relationship between participation in physical education classes and academic
achievement.
 An evaluation of assessment methods and tools used in physical education classes.
 Examine the psychological and emotional benefits of physical education.
 A comparative study of Inclusivity and Diversity in Physical Education.
 Investigate the use of technology, such as wearable fitness trackers or virtual reality,
in enhancing physical education programs.

10. Look for a problem in the community, and discuss it with simple analogy and list down
research-based solutions.
Problem in the Community: High Levels of Littering by the side of the road
Analogy: Consider the roadside in your neighborhood as a lovely garden that all of the locals
help to maintain. Consider littering as if everyone in that garden had been sowing weeds. These
"weeds" (trash) detract from the attractiveness of the roadside over time, making it less pleasant
for everyone to be there.

Solution Based on Research:


Education and Awareness in the Community:

Problem: It's possible that many individuals are ignorant of the harmful effects of trash.
Solution: Hold seminars and educational initiatives to raise awareness of the value of
maintaining the cleanliness of the side road. Show the community and environment the effects
of trash.
Portable trash cans:
Problem: A lack of accessible trash cans in the park can encourage littering.
Solution: Increase the number of trash cans and strategically place them along the roadside to
make it simple for people to properly dispose of their rubbish.

Events for neighborhood cleanup:


Problem: The upkeep of the park may not receive much community involvement.
The answer is to plan frequent cleaning activities when locals may join forces to clean up the
side of the road. This encourages a sense of accountability and ownership.
