    The Nature and Importance

    of Research in Daily Life


    DEFINITION OF RESEARCH
    Research is a systematic inquiry that is
    designed to collect, analyze, and interpret data
    to understand, describe, or predict
    phenomenon (Mertens 2015).
    Research is a process of executing various
    mental acts for discovering and examining
    facts and information to prove the accuracy or
    truthfulness of your claims or conclusions
    about the topic of your research (Litchman
    2013).
    With the above definition, research is NOT merely
    accumulation of facts such as going to the library or
    surfing the Internet to gather information. Searching for
    information or data from various reading materials may
    be information discovery, but it is not research.
    Research is truth seeking.
    Researchers undergo the systematic process of
    acquiring information or data, analyzing, and
    interpreting these data to increase knowledge about a
    phenomenon. They utilize scientific method of
    gathering information and arrive at accurate and
    conclusive results. The scientific method allows
    researchers to describe the relationship between and
    among factors, to predict what might possibly happen,
    Research is the FORCE behind
    everything that we do.
    FOOD we eat
    PENSIONS we buy
    CARS we drive
    POWER we consume
    PHONES we use
    MEDICINE we take
    INQUIRY-BASED LEARNING In a research
    class, a senior high school student engages in
    Inquiry Based Learning where he/she:
    ➢ demonstrates curiosity on a real-life
    problem specifically in one’s field of
    specialization;
    ➢ uses critical thinking and higher-order
    thinking strategies;
    ➢ gathers, analyses, and interprets data and
    information; and,
    ➢ manifests ownership of learning.
    Senior high school students who
    engage in Inquiry-Based Learning
    are placed in an environment in
    which learning is driven by a process
    of inquiry. They identify their own
    problems, and find answers to these
    problems, thus acquiring requisite
    knowledge (Center for Excellence in
    Inquiry-Based Learning 2010).
    IMPORTANCE OF RESEARCH

    Why is research important?


    1. Research creates new
    knowledge and understanding
    which aims to improve the quality
    of life. The inventions and
    innovations which we see around us
    are all products of research. These
    new discoveries make life better.
    2. Research builds the foundation
    of sound policies, program
    development and innovation. Any
    course of action supported by research
    is likely to succeed. Research provides
    an opportunity to make smart
    decisions in life. It reduces the chances
    of making poor or dangerous choices,
    protecting humans from false ideas
    and risky beliefs.
    3. Research offers solutions to
    life problems.

    Research finds a better way to


    address various problems in life.
    Researchers, scientists, and innovators
    conduct research to discover medical
    breakthroughs, technological
    developments, and solve problems in
    education, politics, business, economy,
    and society.

    The product of research offers


    solutions to various problems in the
    society.
