PROBING: WHAT IS RESEARCH?

It is defined as the systematic and organized process of collecting, organizing, analysing,
and interpreting data to find answers to our queries.

Research can mean any sort of “careful, systematic, patient study and investigation in
some field of knowledge.”

Research follow a step-by-step process of investigating that uses a standardized approach

in answering questions or solving problems (Polit&Beck, 2004)

f. Using so many words and ideas from the orginal source that it makes up a
large portion of your work, eve if you acknowledge the original author.

Plagiarism should not be tolerated as the unauthorized use of original ideas and
works constitutes a violation of intellectual property rights.

LESSON INPUT:
COMMON TYPES OF QUALITATIVE RESEARCH
The following are the various types of qualitative research based on the different fields of
inquiry (Meria, S.B., et al, 2002)

1. Experimental-It is the most conclusive of scientific methods. Because the researcher

actually establishes different treatments and then studies their effects, results from this
type of research are likely to lead to the most clear-cut interpretation.
2. Phenomenological study- This type of research seeks to find the essence or
structure of an experience by explaining how complex meanings are built out of
simple units of inner experience. It examines human experiences (lived
experiences) through the descriptions provided by subjects or respondents. The
goal of study is to describe the meaning that experiences hold for each subject.
Some of the areas of concern for these studies are humanness, self determination
, uniqueness, wholeness,and individualism.
3. Ethnographic study- this study involves the collection and analysis of data about
cultural group or minorities. The researcher immerses with the people and become
a part of their culture. He/She becomes involved in the everyday activities of the
subjects , and gets to emphasize with the cultural groups experiencing issues and
problems in their everyday lives.The researches talks with the “key informant”
who provides with the important information for the study. Thus study is
primarily done to develop cultural theories.

Example: What is the demographic profile and migratory adaptions of squatter

families in Barangay Cutcut, Angeles City ( dela Cruz, 1994)
4. Historical Study-It is the systematic collection and evaluation of data to describe,
explain, and thereby understand actions or events that occurred sometime in the past.
Zweck:
a. To make people aware of what has happened in the past so they may learn from
past failures and successes
b. To learn how things were done in the past to see if they might be applicable to
presentday problems and concerns.
c. To assist in prediction
d. To test hypothesis concerning relationships or trends.

[18] Practical Research 1 for Senior High School Students

MODULE 1 Practical Research 1
For Senior High School

Example: In the early 1900s, most female teachers came from the upper middle
class, but most male teachers did not.
e. To understand present educational practices and policies more fully.
5. Action Research-Action Research is conducted by one or more individuals or groups
for the purpose of solving a problem or obtaining information in order to inform local
practice.

Those involved in action research generally want to solve some kind of day-to-day
immediate problem, such as how to decrease absenteeism or incidents of vandalism
among the student body, motivate apathetic students, figure out ways to use technology
to improve the teaching of mathematics, or increase funding.
6. Narrative Analysis- The main source of data for this type of research are the life
accounts of individuals based on the their personal experiences. The purpose if
the study is tot extract meaningful context from these experiences.
Types
a. Psychological- this involves analysing the story in terms of internal
thoughts and motivation. It also analyses the written text or spoken
words for its component parts of patterns.
b. Biological – This takes the individuals’s society and factors like
gender and class into account.
c. Discourse analysis- this studies the approach in which language is used
in the texs . and context
7. Critical Qualitative- This type of research seeks to bring about change and
empower individuals by describing and critiquing the social, cultural, and
psychological perspectives on present -day contexts . As such, it ultimately
challenges the current norm, especially on power distributions, building upon the
initial appraisal of the said present day perspectives.

FINAL TASK:

___________2. The research focuses on a group of people sharing common
characteristics.
___________3. This research identifies a problem, implements a solution, and

relationship
__________7. This research looks into a large group of people with different
characteristics

[19] Practical Research 1 for Senior High School Students

MODULE 1 Practical Research 1

___________8. This design aims to ascribe the present situation in order to gain
information about phenomenon.
___________9. This research focuses on problems or topics with little or no
research done about them, gathers information that will guide future studies.
__________10. This design combines elements from various research designs and
uses both qualitative and quantitative methods.
B. Read and analyse the following research topics and identify what type of
qualitative research is appropriate for them. Then justify your answer by
providing a brief explanation.
