1. Research Aristotle P. Carandang, MPS, Ph.D. LPT University of the Immaculate Conception First Semester AY 2023-2024 Uno

2. Research Systematic  investigative process  employed  to increase or revise  current   knowledge  by discovering new  facts .

3. Research It is divided into two  general  categories: Basic research  is  inquiry  aimed at increasing  scientific knowledge ; and Applied research  is effort aimed at using basic research for solving problems or   developing  new  processes ,  products , or   techniques .

4. Research ˈ rēˌsərCH,rəˈsərCH / Noun the systematic investigation into and study of materials and sources in order to establish facts and reach new conclusions. "We are fighting meningitis by raising money for medical research."   Synonyms: investigation, experimentation, testing, analysis, fact-finding, fieldwork, examination, scrutiny  

5. Research ˈ rēˌsərCH,rəˈsərCH / Verb - investigate systematically   "She has spent the last five years researching her people's history."   Synonyms: investigate, study, inquire into, look into, probe, explore, analyze, examine, scrutinize, review

6. Research is an  ORGANIZED  and  SYSTEMATIC  way of  FINDING ANSWERS  to  QUESTIONS .

7. SYSTEMATIC  because there is a definite set of procedures and steps which you will follow. There are certain things in the research process which are always done in order to get the most accurate results. ORGANIZED  in that there is a structure or method in going about doing research. It is a planned procedure, not a spontaneous one. It is focused and limited to a specific scope.

8. FINDING ANSWERS  is the end of all research. Whether it is the answer to a hypothesis or even a simple question, research is successful when we find answers. Sometimes the answer is no, but it is still an answer. QUESTIONS  are central to research. If there is no question, then the answer is of no use. Research is focused on relevant, useful, and important questions. Without a question, research has no focus, drive, or purpose.

9. Research consists of: Asking a question that nobody has asked before; Doing the necessary work to find the answer; and Communicating the knowledge you have acquired to a larger audience.

10. In practice, research methods vary widely, depending upon the academic discipline’s accepted standards, the individual researcher’s preferences, or a particular study’s needs.  

11. Research in science and engineering often involves conducting experiments in the laboratory or in the field. Research in the arts, humanities, and social sciences may include archival work in the library or on the internet, conducting surveys or in-depth interviews, and a wide range of creative and artistic projects- from costume design to playwriting to curating a fine arts exhibit. 

12. As a member of the research community, you are building on the knowledge that others have acquired before you and providing a road map for those who come after you. You are adding to a body of work that will never be complete. Research is an ongoing, collaborative process with no finish line in sight.  Research is not a solitary activity –but an act of community.

13. Identify you topic

14. The scope of your research is determined by what you want to achieve (your objectives) and the types of decisions it needs to help you make. Set your research objectives

15. Before you get started it is essential to define your objectives. This is the most important part of the process and will avoid wasting time and effort in later stages. Ask yourself these three questions: What is the purpose of the research? What information is being sought? How will the information be used?

16. 1. checking if the same or similar research has been carried out in the past; 2. reviewing any existing relevant data; 3. determining when the information is needed and how much you can spend to obtain it; and 4. deciding how the data will be used, and by whom. Four stages of research study:

17. The research paper outline is essential for any article or term paper. The outline may make a great difference on how your work is interpreted. Research Paper Outline

18. Title - Author/s Abstract Table of Contents Introduction Methodology Review of Related Literature and Studies Results and Discussion Summary, Conclusions, and Recommendations References Appendices Basic Structure The vast majority of scientific reports can be broken down into the following constituent parts:

19. Although the  title  is the shortest page of your report, it is often the most difficult to write. It is important to make clear to a researcher everything that needs saying but without the title being overlong and unwieldy. It does not have to be the first section written because, in many cases, the final title will not occur to you until you have finished writing the report. Title and Author/s

20. Nowadays, most research establishments have a database to search titles by keyword so try to make sure that your title contains these. This is doubly important if your research is likely to be published on the internet. The authors section should include your name, as the main writer of the report, alongside the name of your supervisor. In the case of working as part of a team, you should usually include the other members of your group here. Title and Author/s

21. The  abstract  is the most crucial part of the report because anybody searching for your research on a database or in a journal will usually read only the abstract. Therefore, it must summarize your research, results and conclusions in less than 200 words. Sometimes it is good to think of it as a sample of your research rather than a  review ; it should inform the researcher that your article contains the information they need. There are a few ideas on how to write your abstract but the best advice is that you look at some journals relevant to your research and try to format your abstract in a similar way. Abstract

22. S4SC: A National S&T IEC Campaign Initiative on Disaster Preparedness Aristotle P. Carandang, PhD Chief, Communication Resources and Production Division Science and Technology Information Institute Department of Science and Technology, Republic of the Philippines Email: [email protected] “S4SC” is the moniker for Science for Safer Communities – a national Information, Education and Communication (IEC) campaign for the 17 regions of the Philippines. Priority is given to the project because calamities are common in the country; and yet most local government units (LGUs) appear not to be fully prepared in saving lives and properties in their respective turfs. This was exemplified in the Yolanda ( Haiyan ) experience in November 2013. Thus, the project was designed to address the perennial problem of the LGUs in responding to and mitigating the impacts of calamities via appropriate messaging. It is anchored on the fact that preparedness is still the best way to prevent terrible effects of disasters by way of early warning and early action. S4SC is a one-year, inter-agency collaborative project spearheaded by the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) through its agencies such as the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA), Philippine Institute for Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS), Philippine Council for Industry, Energy and Emerging Technology Research and Development (PCIEERD), and Science and Technology Information Institute (STII). Other partners include the Department of Interior and Local Government, (DILG), Office of Civil Defense (OCD) as the implementing arm of the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC), and DOST’s Project NOAH (Nationwide Operational Assessment of Hazards). S4SC is an example where government actions become convergent. The first part of the project is a three-month regional IEC campaign geared to help equip local chief executives or LCEs (e.g. governors, mayors, and disaster managers) as the first receiver of information with the knowledge and know-how on disaster preparedness. The campaign consists of a two-day workshop for every region where S4SC shares information and tools that are crucial in preparing disaster risk plans for the participants’ respective communities. Tools include localized geological and meteorological hazard maps, websites, and apps that LCEs and disaster managers can use. Each regional activity consists of tabletop exercises for them to learn more about their vulnerabilities on certain risks through the use of hazard maps. Subsequently, they can formulate their respective risk communication and disaster plans unique to their respective localities. A special package, on the other hand, is designed for media practitioners for them to appreciate and learn how to properly disseminate disaster-related information. After the three-month regional IEC, the next phase of S4SC is monitoring and evaluation in order to know whether the outputs during the workshops are being used in one way or another or totally disregarded. This will be done in collaboration with the DOST, DILG, and OCD regional offices that form part of the feedback mechanism. Expected outcome of the nationwide project is a safer, more prepared and resilient Philippines against disasters.   Keywords : S4SC, Science for Safer Communities, IEC, early warning, early action, disaster preparedness
