2. At the end of this Module, the
learners should be to able to:
• Identify the characteristics and qualities of a teacher
as a research professional;
• Discuss concepts about research and the different
research methods applicable in education; and
• Conduct simple research activity following the
scientific methods of research in relation to one’s
field of specialization.
3. Introduction
The role of a teacher in the 21st
century is different from what it was 10
or many years ago.The teacher is
challenges not only in the area of
instruction but in field relevant to
instruction such as research, extension
and publication.

7. Research
ConceptsDefinition of Research
• Systematic, controlled, empirical and critical investigation of
hypothetical propositions..(Kerlinger 1972)
• A purposive, systematic and scientific process of gathering,
analyzing, classifying, organizing, presenting and interpreting
data.( Calderon and Gonzales, 1993)
• Process of gathering data or information to solve a particular/
scientific problem. (Halpin, 1996)
• Collection of data in a rigorously controlled situation for
prediction or explanation. (Quinton, 2006)
9. Research
ConceptsTypes of Research
According to purpose:
• Predictive/ Prognostic Research- future
operation of
the
variables.
•Directive research- what should be done the
findings to
remedy a certain
11. Research
ConceptsAccording the level of investigation:
Exploratory Research- discovery and generating
theory
Descriptive Research- prevailing conditions,
processes, cause and
effect
relationships
Experimental Research- effects of the variables
12. Research
ConceptsAccording to choice of answers to
problems:
Evaluation Research- possible actions
are identified and
used as bases in
making
decisions
13. Research
ConceptsAccording to Statistical Content:
Quantitative- used of statistical or
inferential statistics
to determine the results.
Qualitative- data are analyzed rationally
not
statistically.
14. Research
ConceptsAccording to Time Element:
Historical Research- whole truth of past events
Descriptive Research- present conditions and
understand nature,
characteristics,
components
and aspects of
phenomenon.
15. Research
ConceptsResearch Process
Steps:
1. Problem Identification- choice of the researcher based on the
researcher’s interest, current issues, moral or legal impediments.
2. Literature Review- concepts or theoretical frameworks of the
planned research.
3. Research Design- procedure of planning and carrying out the
research.
4. Data Collection- method of gathering data to provide information.
5. Data presentation, analysis and interpretation- manner of
organizing, collecting and analyzing/interpreting data.
6. Formulation of implications and conclusions -brief statements
based on the findings of the study.
