CHARACTERISTICS, PROCESSES, AND ETHICS IN RESEARCH

Prieto, et.al. (2017) stated that the following are the major characteristics of research:
1. EMPIRICAL - is based on observations and experiments of theories.
2. SYSTEMATIC - follows orderly and sequential procedures, based on valid procedures
and principles.
3. CONTROLLED - In research, all variables, except those that are tested/ experimented
on, are kept constant.
4. EMPLOYS HYPOTHESIS - refers to a search for facts, answers to questions and
solutions to problems.
5. ANALYTICAL - shows analytical procedures in gathering the data, whether historical,
descriptive, and or case study.
6. OBJECTIVE - it is unbiased and logical. All findings are logically based on real-life
situations.
7. ORIGINAL WORK - it requires its own examination and produces the data needed to
complete the study.

It is said that research can be done in different ways. It can be either a well-planned and
methodical process that is based on keen observation and concrete and valid evaluation.
Integration is the best way to evaluate the validity of a certain study.
