3. Welcome to Grade 12. Your Grade 11 experience has unraveled you the keys to understanding and doing a qualitative research. You have learned that a qualitative research helps you to investigate, discover, explore, understand and interpret underlying reasons, opinions and motivations. It deals with understanding the dynamic reality of human behavior and issues from the subject's point of view. Through these modules, you will be able to know the important link of the qualitative research to quantitative research.

4. 1. Compare between inquiry and research; 2. Describe characteristics, strengths, weaknesses, and kinds of quantitative research; 3. Identify the importance of quantitative research across fields; 4. Identify experimental research and 5. Differentiate kinds of variables and their uses . Specifically on this module, you should be able to accomplish the following:

5. Recollection. Individual work. Find and loop from the words below, anything you remember related to qualitative research.

19. Both inquiry and research are performed for deeper understanding of the world—an understanding that inspires you to create, construct or produce things for the improvement of life, find solutions to problems and for acquisition of knowledge. But both are not exactly the same. They maybe the same at some aspects, but there are differences between them. What is Inquiry and What is Research?

20. What is inquiry? Inquiry is a term synonymous with the word “investigation”. It is asking specific questions to probe or examine something. You use higher order thinking strategies of inferential, analytical, critical, creative, and appreciative thinking to discover more understandable or meaningful things beyond such object of your inquiry.

21. Example: Your observation: You noticed that a student who used to yield high ranking academic grades suddenly performed poor in class activities and rendered low ranking academic grades. His friends say his parents suddenly separated and left him with a relative. Social Science (Behavioral) Your inquiries: 1. What makes the student yield high ranking academic grades? 2. What makes the student perform suddenly poor in class activities and render low ranking academic grades? 3. What is a family stress? 4. Is there a relationship between family stress and academic performance? 5. What are the respondent’s demographic profile as to age, gender, religion, family status, family educational background?

22. What is Research? Research on the other hand, is also investigating. It is an extensive work of investigation that aims to solve problems, improve life, acquire knowledge and aid in decision making. Inquiry as the fundamental act of research leads into research when it yields multiple inquiries. It is a scientific, experimental, or inductive manner of thinking. Starting from particular to more complex ideas, executing varied thinking acts.

23. What is Research? Research includes more complex acts of investigation than inquiry because the former follows a scientific procedure of discovering truths or meanings about things in this world.

24. Similarities and Differences of Inquiry and Research Therefore, inquiry is a part of research, and not always the other way around, because some inquiries do not progress into research. Inquiry is the fundamental act of research. It is the start of every research.

25. Empirical —means based on experience Logical — means according to formal argument Cyclical — means occurring in cycles Analytical — uses logical reasoning Critical — means analysis of merits and faults of a work Methodical — means done according to systematic form of procedure. Replicable — able to be copied and reproduced exactly. Characteristics of Research

26. Identifying topic or problem Gathering data Developing theories Formulating hypothesis Analyzing data Drawing conclusions Steps in Research:

27. “The data you work on in research do not come mainly from yourself but also from other sources of knowledge like people, books, artworks, among others .”

28. Summary Inquiry sparks students’ curiosity and wonder, serving as fuel for discussion. While research can certainly exist as a stand-alone process, inquiry should drive students to view research as a means through which they can seek out new ideas, answer new questions, and wrestle with complex problems. So going back to the original question: can there be research without inquiry and inquiry without research? The answer is yes and no.
