    Research is essential for meaningful progress and development. It plays an important role in each stage of development including planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation. Research is needed to describe and analyze existing problems or conditions and find appropriate solutions. Research can be categorized into three general types: descriptive research which finds answers to questions like who, what, when, where and how; correlation research which goes beyond description to answer why and how questions; and experimental research which evaluates the effects of interventions or treatments under controlled conditions. The research process typically involves several steps like problem identification, hypothesis formulation, data collection, analysis, drawing conclusions, and reporting results.

    MELANIE TORRE – ACTIVITY 1

    B. QUESTION FOR DISCUSSION.

    1. What is the role of research in development? Explain and illustrate.

    Research is essential for meaningful progress. Without research, development efforts would be futile.
    According to Mercado,1994, The development process involves planning, implementation, monitoring and
    evaluation. In each stage of development, research plays an important role. Research is needed in needed
    describing and analyzing existing social or economic problems or conditions.

    For example: In our society, research is very imperative when it comes to planning and analyzing data to find
    an answer to a question or solution to a problem. By doing research, we were able to collect appropriate data
    to the determine the appropriate solution in every project that is needed for development.

    2. How can research be used in improving the quality of life of the people.

    Through research, new knowledge or technology is discovered. New knowledge can result in development or
    improvement of new skills, behavior, or practices. Those improvements mentioned can lead to better
    conditions and better quality of life. In addition, new technologies or tools discovered will not only few but a
    lot of people to have a better and easier life.

    For example, the development of our teaching-learning process, strategies and pedagogies. By the use of
    technology, it makes our teaching-learning process possible even in times of pandemic. Technology, of course
    it is also a product of research because if there is no research there is no development. In the future, research
    will make the development continuing and improving. By such, the quality of life of the people will continue
    improving.

    3. How would you differentiate the general types of research from each other?

    Research can broadly be categorized into three general types based on their objectives, methods, and
    outcomes. According to Fraenkel and Wallen, 1996, research can be classified into three general categories:
    descriptive research, correlation or association research and experimental or invention research.

    The descriptive type study finds answer to the questions who, what, when, where and how. This research
    describes a situation or a given state of affairs in terms of specified aspects or factors.

    Explanatory or correlation research study goes beyond description of the problem or situation. This type of
    study answers the question why and how.

    Invention or Experimental Research evaluates the effect or outcome of a particular intervention or treatment.
    It studies the cause-and-effect relationships between certain factors on a certain phenomenon under
    controlled condition.
    4. What are the different steps in the research process?

    The research process typically consists of several steps that are followed to conduct a systematic investigation
    and gather information to answer a research question or achieve research objectives. Regardless of type or
    method, all research studies are conducted using more or less same process. These generally include problem
    identification, formulation of hypotheses, data collection, data analysis and interpretation, drawing of
    generalization/conclusions and reporting of results.

    These steps provide a general framework for the research process, but it's important to note that research can
    be complex and may involve additional steps or variations depending on the specific research field, research
    design, and objectives.

    C. Exercises

    Listed below are research questions. What type of research can best answer each?

    1. What do students think are the least popular courses in the high school curriculum and why?

    relation to their spouses and children?
    *Applied Research- since its aims to see an immediate solution to a problem.

    5. Does gender of a counselor affect the counselees' response to counseling?
