OBJECTIVES: At the end of the lesson, students should be able to; 1. Define what is research 2. Get familiar with technical terms used in research; 3. Differentiate Primary Sources from Secondary Sources.
TECHNICAL TERMS USED IN RESEARCH GRADE 10- ENGLISH
WHAT IS RESEARCH?
Research - it is an organized and systematic way of finding answers to questions. GRADE 10- ENGLISH
Systematic -because there is definite set of procedures and steps which you will follow. Organize - there is a structure or method in going about doing a research. It is a planned procedure not a spontaneous one. It is focused and limited to a specific scope. GRADE 10- ENGLISH
The Value of Research Educators, health service providers, entrepreneurs, manager, policy makers, counselors, administrators, teachers and students, need information to make decisions, or to perform their functions more effectively. Research can help them meet their need. GRADE 10- ENGLISH
The teachers need to know teaching approaches and materials can be used to help students learn better. Health service providers need health related data in developing health programs and in improving delivery of health services and in identifying interventions that will improve the health conditions of individuals. GRADE 10- ENGLISH
Research has Several Functions 1. It helps us answer questions, solve problems and make decisions. 2. It enables us to see and understand how and why a situation or a problem exists. GRADE 10- ENGLISH
3 . It helps us discover new things and ideas. 4. It allow us to validate existing theories or generate new ones. 5. It helps us identify and understand the causes and effects of a situation or phenomenon. GRADE 10- ENGLISH
TECHNICAL TERMS IN RESEARCH GRADE 10- ENGLISH
Research Question —is an answerable inquiry into a specific concern or issue. It defines what problem or opportunity you’re looking at and what your research goals are. GRADE 10- ENGLISH
Abstract - a short summary of your completed research. GRADE 10- ENGLISH
Introduction - It establish the scope, context and significance of the research by; GRADE 10- ENGLISH
1. Summarizing current understanding and background information about the topic. 2. Stating the purpose of the work in the form of the research problem supported by the hypothesis or a set of questions. GRADE 10- ENGLISH
3. Explaining briefly the methodological approach used to examine the research problem 4. Outlining the remaining structure and organization of the paper. GRADE 10- ENGLISH
Hypothesis — commonly known as the researcher’s intellectual guess or wild guess about the possible result of the study. GRADE 10- ENGLISH
METHODOLOGY- the systematic method to resolve a research problem through data gathering using various techniques, providing an interpretation of data gathered and drawing conclusions about the research data. GRADE 10- ENGLISH
AIM: To ensure valid and reliable results that address the research aims and objectives. 1. What data to collect ( and what data to ignore ) GRADE 10- ENGLISH
2.Who to collect from ( in research it is called Sampling Design) 3.How to Collect It ( this is called data collection method) 4. How to Analyze ( this is called data analysis method) GRADE 10- ENGLISH
RESULTS/ findings- The section of research paper where the authors provide the data collected during their study. GRADE 10- ENGLISH
DISCUSSION - Explain any new understanding or insights that emerged as a result of your study of the problem GRADE 10- ENGLISH
Objectives of Discussion 1. Reiterates the research problem/ state the major findings. GRADE 10- ENGLISH
2.Explain the meaning of the findings and why they are important. 3.Relate the findings to similar studies. GRADE 10- ENGLISH
4.Consider alternative explanations of the problems. 5.Acknowledge the studies limitations. 6.Make suggestions for further research. GRADE 10- ENGLISH
CONCLUSION- Intended to help the readers understand why your research should matter to them after they have finish reading the paper. GRADE 10- ENGLISH
Restate the research problem address in the paper. Summarize the overall arguments or findings Suggest the key takeaways from your papers. GRADE 10- ENGLISH
REFERENCE- The last page of the research papers that list all the sources you used in the study. GRADE 10- ENGLISH
APPENDIX- Serves as a space for materials that help clarify your research, but do not belong in the main text. GRADE 10- ENGLISH
Research Data —is any information that has been collected, Observed, generated or created to validate original research findings. GRADE 10- ENGLISH
Variable —a variable in research refers to a person, place, thing, or Phenomenon that you are trying to measure in some way. There are two types of variables in research: GRADE 10- ENGLISH
