 Let Us Learn

Good day! This module is organized in a way for you to learn more easily
and in a more convenient way. As you go over this module, you will
understand the world of research, the nature of the inquiry, and its origin.

Specifically, you are expected to:

 Share research experiences; and
 Express knowledge about research.

Most Essential Learning Competency (MELC): The learner shares research

experiences and knowledge.

Let Us Try!

Choose one (1) among the presented current issues/topics below. Then,
share your knowledge/ideas about your chosen topic by writing it on the
table below.

Issues/Topics: Denied franchise of ABS-CBN

Covid-19 pandemic
Online Education

Topic (What I Know?) (Who are the (Why I chose the

people involved?) issue/topic?)

Let Us Study

Defining (Identify) Research

Our world is full of mysteries that will create many wonders in our
life. Human as we are, we must admit that we cannot answer all the whys
around us especially those who are beyond our comprehension but we never
stop asking questions and trying to find the answers to these questions. It is
undeniable that human beings are full of curiosity because they are born
rational. According to Francisco, Paul Micah, et.al, Rationality refers to the
ability of a human person to think and reason out. Thus, they always

1
examine solutions to a lot of questions surrounding their life.
Upon finding answers to the questions, we have also such ability to
search for truth, validating what is relevant and rejecting the not essential
information that we have searched. Knowledge is not simply something that
pops out of nowhere; we must also validate if the knowledge produced is a
valid one. Therefore research becomes important in this context.
Research is a systematic process of gathering information,
interpreting information, and analyzing information to resolve a
specific problem (Francisco et al., 2016). The root word “re” from research
means “again” so research means “searching again” for information that
already exists but needs to be strengthened and emphasized.
The research includes any gathering of data, information, and facts
for the advancement of knowledge (Shuttleworth, 2011).

Nature of Inquiry

The term research is very similar to the word inquiry since this word
is the Greek derivation of research. Inquiry means a process that is done
using scientific methods. This is to look for information by asking various
questions about the thing you are curious about. Both involve investigative
work in which you are searching for information and examining the object of
your search.
An inquiry is a learning process that motivates you to obtain
knowledge or information about people, things, places, or events (Baracero,
2016).

Ways of Inquiring:
1. Investigating or asking questions about something you are inquisitive
about.
2. Collect data, meaning, facts, and information about the object of your
inquiry and examine such data carefully.
3. Execute varied thinking strategies that range from lower-order to
higher-order thinking skills (inferential, critical, integrative and
creative thinking)
