Pampanga High School | 2024


According to Creswell “Research is
a process of steps used to collect
and analyze information to increase
our understanding of a topic or
issue”.
There are other definitions of research which
also state that research is a systematic
inquiry that investigates hypotheses, suggests
new interpretations of data or texts, and
poses new questions for future research to
explore. It involves inductive and deductive
methods.
Inductive research methods are used to analyze an
observed event.
Deductive methods are used to verify the observed
event. Inductive approaches are associated with
qualitative research and deductive methods are
more commonly associated with quantitative
research.
EMPIRICAL
is based on observations and
experimentation on theories.
SYSTEMATIC
follows orderly and
sequential procedure.
CONTROLLED
all variables except those
that are
tested/experimented
upon are kept constant.
EMPLOYS HYPOTHESIS
guides the investigation
process.
ANALYTICAL
There is critical analysis of all
data used so that there is no
error in their interpretation
OBJECTIVE, UNBAISED &
LOGICAL
- all findings are logically
based on empirical data
EMPLOYS METHODS
Data are transformed into
numerical measures and are
treated statistically

This is where you will use your note cards and will serve
as the foundation of your research.

This is your own work and therefore should not directly


lift words from other sources. This will require your
command of language and writing skills such as
summarizing, paraphrasing and writing indirect
speeches.
METHODOLOGY
CHAPTER 3 METHOD AND
PROCEDURES
Method of Research – the kind of research used by your
study. This answers why the method used is appropriate for

DISCUSSION
CHAPTER 5 SUMMARY,
CONCLUSIONS AND
RECOMMENDATIONS
Summary of Findings – summarizes the interpretation of
data given in Chapter 4. These should directly answer your
statement of the problem.
Conclusions – out of your findings, your conclusions are
based. This provides the answers for every statement of
the problem. This is where you will prove your hypotheses
and assumptions.
Recommendations – should be directly based on the
significance of the study. This also includes the
recommended actions that should be done after the
conduct of the study such as further assessment of the
subject, focus on other factors, etc.
