The module has one lesson:

• Lesson 1 – Natural Inquiry

After going through this module, you are expected to:

1. Discuss among the learners the different issues and ideas in their respective fields;

2. Appreciate the importance of brainstorming to come up with the best issue tocater to; and

3. The learner prepares to plan a research agenda in preparation for possible issues or topics of a research study

​What to do:

To attain the objective of this module, do the following:

• Yield your time reading the lessons sensibly.

• Follow the directions and/or instructions in the activities and exercises diligently.

• Give a response to all the exercises.

• Familiarize yourself with the following terms:

Investigation

- It is a question which you ask to get some information. It is the process of asking about or investigating something to find

out more about it.

​Inquiry

-Research is like exploring thingsto come up with the best idea/s to respond to the needs of society.​

Research Study

- It is the process of learning a skill by using nothing else but that skill. It is the fact of becoming completely involved in

What’s In

Write your own ideas on the importance of research based in your knowledge and

experiences.

SHOUT OUT IDEAS

Tell the different issues in the society regarding your chosen field and write it in the

meta cards. You may shout out your ideas based on the agreed issue through writing

it on their notepad.

Research is an investigation or experimentation aimed at the discovery and interpretation of facts, revision of accepted theories or laws in the light of new facts, or practical application of such new or revised theories or laws. It is also a practice of collecting information about a particular subject.

What is It

Research provides the best solution to some of the world problems and also enhance the knowledge of the researchers. It can give explanations to certain questions stated in the research problem. Through the explanations, it serves as a tool for building knowledge and for facilitating new learning.

Research provides the best solution to some of the world problems and also enhance the knowledge of the researchers. It can give explanations to certain questions stated in the research problem. Through the explanations, it serves as a tool for building knowledge and for facilitating new learning.

Research also introduces new ideas, helps the researchers identify problems and appropriate solutions in new ways and provide new framework to guide thinking and action. It informs action, proves a theory and contributes to develop knowledge in a field or study. Therefore, it understands various issues and increases public awareness.

The following shall help you recall some significant details relevant to your previous understanding about the types of research namely: qualitative and quantitative researches.

The following shall help you recall some significant details relevant to your previous understanding about the types of research namely: qualitative and quantitative researches.

An inquiry is a method that has the aim of extending knowledge, undertaking doubt,

or solving a problem. A theory of inquiry is an interpretation of the various types of

inquiry and action of the ways that each type of inquiry attains its aim.

Think-aloud, asks probing questions, monitors and

encourages participants to decide a topic.

Decide on a topic

An ill-structured problem demands consideration of diverse perspectives.

Focus.

Now, to give you an idea of how to prepare for research, you may do the inquirybased learning using the following steps mentioned below:

This is the final stage done to address problems

within manageable scales and extend their learning pathways.

Design on the problem

This will include clarifications of

misconceptions and possibilities.

Understanding the problem

​Brainstorming -is a way of inquiring ideas that will help you to develop concepts and focusing techniques by asking questions and knowing the interests of the persons involved in the said issues. The potential ideas can be visualized for interpretations.

​The following are the things that may be considered before starting the research activity:

​1. A problem that is most interesting to you

2. Existing problems in the class/school/campus which one may want to solve

3. Existing needs of the community or society

4. Area of interest, specialization or event from related fields

5. Prevailing theories and philosophy

Criteria in Choosing a Research Topic:

1. It should be something new or different from what has already been written

about.

2. It must be original.

3. It should be significant to the field of study or discipline.

4. It must necessarily arouse intellectual curiosity.

5. It should be of researcher’s interest.

6. It should be a modest one for a beginner to be carried out within a limited period of time.

7. It should be clear, not ambiguous.

8. It should be specific, not general.

9. It should consider the training and personal qualifications of the researcher.

10. It should consider the availability of data involved in the study and the

methods and techniques to be employed in gathering them.

11. It should consider the availability of effective instruments for gathering the

data and their treatment.

12. It should consider the financial capacity of the researcher to support the

project.

13. It should consider the time factor involved in the undertaking.

Here are some examples of possible basis of issues applicable for senior high school learners. These are useful in crafting a research agenda that will lead in the writing of the title and research problem.

If you already identified the possible topic in the agenda of your research study, you may think of the identity of your research either a qualitative or a quantitative research then decide on the methodology by not disregarding the importance of your research to others, to the community, to the society or to the nation as well.

Observe the given example as a guide about the mentioned concerns in your research agenda.
