Introduction to Practical Research 2 – Priming Activities Menandro M. Merlin Master Teacher III – Senior High Marinduque National High School
Key Concepts Research was coined from the French word “ cerhier ” which means seek and prefix “ re ” means to repeat or again . Practical Research 2 is a course which aims to develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills through quantitative research. By definition, quantitative research is an objective, systematic, empirical investigation of observable phenomena through the use of computational techniques. It is concerned with numbers and its relationship with events.
Learning Objectives Rate competencies in Practical Research 2 based on difficulty Differentiate competencies of Practical research 2 from Practical Research 1 Relate learning competencies of other subject areas (e.g. English, Filipino and Statistics) to Practical Research 2 Write a Gantt Chart of activities in Practical Research 2
Pre-activity – A quick interview with the participants
Who has master units? Master degree holder? With doctoral units? Doctoral degree holder ? Who are researchers? Statisticians ? Who are teaching Practical Research 1, Practical Research 2, and Statistics ? How do you teach research?

Activity 3. We’re all in this together… – Relating Practical Research 2 Learning Competencies with other Learning Competencies in other subject
Given learning competencies in other subject area (e.g. English, Filipino, Statistics), examine the learning competencies which are applicable and is related to learning Practical Research 2 . List at least five (5) learning competencies related to Practical Research 2 . Question: Are the competencies in other subject area (e.g. English, Filipino, Statistics ) useful or important in learning Practical Research 2? 3. Report your answer in a big group.
Reflection
Deepening of Ideas What is the meaning of the code CS_RS12-Ia-c-1 ? After the activities given, how do you plan now to teach and learn Practical Research 2? Which learning competencies and topics in Practical Research 2 you will give least time and more time?
Application
As part of an outcomes-based teaching and learning, write a time frame of activities in teaching and learning Practical Research 2 using a Gantt Chart illustrated below
Note: Activities must reflect an output of students and shall be in line with the learning competencies and topics for Practical Research 2. This activity promotes “planning how to plan” among our students.
