INTRODUCTION
TO RESEARCH PROJECT

PREPARED BY:
SIR JM LUMBERA
RESEARCH
ALWAYS
START WITH
SCIENTIFIC
INQUIRY
Problems abound in education and the social sciences. It
describe specific challenges in education needing systematic
and objective investigation to find a solution, test a theory,
determine cause and effect, or find effective strategies that
address the issue.
The research story begins with a problem.
The Need for Scientific Methodology

Nonscientific Sources of Data


Conclusions drawn have limited accuracy and usefulness due to biases;

Sources are not always good for obtaining valid information about behavior even
though it comes from trusted sources like friends, family, etc. because it is offered
by people we like. We accept it without question;
More likely to accept information from someone who is attractive, popular,
wealthy, influential etc.
The Need for Scientific Methodology

Nonscientific Inferences
Accurate predictions are increased with length of acquaintanceship. Traits are
more useful when predicting how someone will behave over the long term;
Can lead to overestimating behaviors;

Overconfidence bias: compounding inferential shortcomings; predictions feel


more correct than they actually are;
This bias is our brain’s way of coping with mass amounts of information or
limited context.
The Need for Scientific Methodology
Pseudoscience
is a fake science that makes
claims based on faulty or
nonexistent scientific
evidence.
In most cases, these pseudosciences
present claims in a way that makes
them seem possible, but with little or no
empirical support for these claims.
The Need for Scientific Methodology

 A pseudoscienceis any field of study


that gives the appearance of being
no true
scientific, but has

scientific basis and has


not been confirmed using the
scientific method.
Modern pseudosciences include past life regression,
reparenting, and rebirthing.
Characteristics of Modern Science
• Behavior must follow a natural order so that it can
be predicted
Scientific Mentality • Determinism: the belief that there are specifiable causes
for the way people behave that can be discovered
through research
• Empirical data: data that are observable or
Gathering Empirical experienced
Data • empirical data collected in a systematic way is ideal; still
not guaranteed to be correct
• Laws: principles that have the generality to apply to
Seeking General all situations
Principles • Theories: advanced understanding but not enough
information to be declared a law
Characteristics of Modern Science

• Collecting and interpreting data systematically and


Good Thinking objectively with no personal biases or beliefs; includes being
open to new ideas even when they contradict prior beliefs

• The more evidence that accumulates to support a particular


Self-Correction explanation or theory, the more confidence we have that the
theory is correct

• The process of exchanging information vital to the


Publicizing Results scientific process.

• Repeat procedures multiple times to verify results;


Replication
multiple researchers should verify the experiment
Steps
Of
Scientific
Method
What is Action Research?
-is an approach commonly used for improving conditions and practices in a range healthcare
environments (Lingard et al., 2008; Whitehead et al., 2003).

The purpose of undertaking action research is to bring about change in


specific contexts, as Parkin (2009) describes it.

Meyer (2000) maintains that action research’s strength lies in its focus on generating
solutions to practical problems and its ability to empower
practitioners, by getting them to engage with research and the subsequent
development or implementation activities.
What is Action Research?
• Action research is participative and collaborative; it is undertaken by
individuals with a common purpose.

• It is situation-based and context specific.

• Action research can


involve problem solving, if the solution to
the problem leads to the improvement of practice where
knowledge is created through action and at the point of application.

• In action research
findings will emerge as action develops, but these are
not conclusive or absolute.
What is Capstone Project?
The capstone is a research project completed as part of a graduate degree program.

Capstone projects are also called culminating projects, senior capstone project,
senior exhibition, or other similar names.
The project is usually self-directed, and most students find it a challenge to even come up with
the right capstone project topic.

• The capstone functions to engage the students in conducting research,


formulating research-based solutions, and implementing research-based
strategies.

• The capstone incorporates a practical output, known as a product, as


part of the research project.
In doing so, the Capstone Project strives towards the following
goals:

• Develop a more comprehensive understanding of the


graduate experience;
• Foster the integration of theory and practice;
• Improve students’ successful entry and/or
advancement in their chosen field.
The STEM Capstone Project is designed to prepare STEM
students for lifelong learning and
effective and productive citizenship through the opportunity to
plan, complete, and present
a self-directed culminating project reflecting their personal
interest.

Projects may be done in the area of science,


mathematics, engineering or computer science.
What is Feasibility Study?
A feasibility study is simply
an assessment of the
practicality of a proposed project plan or method.
This is done by analyzing technical, economic, legal, operational and time
feasibility factors. Just as the name implies, you’re asking, “Is this
feasible?”

The main purpose of a feasibility study is to determine whether the project can be not only viable
but also beneficial from a technical, financial, legal and market standpoint.
Now,
where should I begin in
Research Project?
Common Sources of Research Topics:
BASIC RESEARCH focuses on formulating principles and
theories to explain concepts or phenomena. It aims to derive
knowledge that's universally applicable and push
the boundaries of our understanding.
APPLIED RESEARCH focuses on searching for solutions to
specific problems. It involves applying existing knowledge to
create solutions and improving products, services, or issues. It is
often directed toward finding a solution to a
specific problem.
Other Common Sources of Research Topics:

• Personal Interests and


Curiosities
• Casual Observation
• Reports of Others’ Observations
• Behavioral Theories
Short break…
ASSESSMENT TASK
INSTRUCTIONS: Each group will brainstorm for possible
topics that you will study/ investigate. Provide FIVE chosen
topics and your rationale why do you want to conduct the
study/investigation.
Write your output in a yellow pad paper along with group # and name of the
members.
