Introduction to research
The document discusses research, defining it as purposeful, organized, and planned activities to acquire new knowledge or verify existing knowledge. It distinguishes between basic research, which aims to increase understanding, and applied research, which applies existing knowledge to develop processes or products. Some sources of research topics include the environment, asking people about problems, and observation. Research involves identifying variables, or factors that may affect experimental results, with the independent variable being what is manipulated and the dependent variable being what changes as a result. Experiments have both an experimental group that receives treatment and a control group that is studied without treatment for reference.
Introduction to research
- 2. Many of the worlds most important scientific discoveries would not have been possible without research.
- 3. Research provided answers to many problems that were considered hopeless for a long time.
- 5. What is a RESEARCH?
- 6. Research involves a PURPOSEFUL, ORGANIZED AND PLANNED programs of activities that enables one to ACQUIRE NEW KNOWLEDGE
- 7. Research allows a person to VERIFY existing knowledge.
- 8. Research enables people to find an application for new knowledge.
- 10. BASIC RESEARCH When the purpose of the research is to LEARN NEW KNOWLEDGE OR to have fuller UNDERSTANDING OF A CONCEPT
- 11. APPLIED RESEARCH When the purpose of the research is to APPLY EXISTING KNOWLEDGE TO COME UP WITH A PROCESS OR PRODUCT.
- 12. SOURCES OF TOPICS FOR RESEARCH ENVIRONMENT ASKING PEOPLE REGARDING THEIR PROBLEMS THEY ENCOUNTERED OBSERVATION
- 14. VARIABLES FACTORS that may AFFECT the results of the experiment.
- 15. example EFFECT OF ORGANIC AND SYNTHETIC FERTILIZERS ON TOMATO PLANTS
- 17. WHAT are the factors that can SHOW the effects of the two FERTILIZERS?
- 19. INDEPENDENT Factor that can be manipulated ( can be changed) during an experimental setup.
- 20. DEPENDENT Factor that change due to the manipulation of the independent variable.
- 21. INDEPENDENT variable DEPENDENT variable The KIND of Fertilizer to be applied Height, quantity of fruits and leaves
- 23. In EXPERIMENTAL SETUPS TWO MAJOR GROUPS to be STUDIED EXPERIMENTAL GROUP CONTROL GROUP
- 24. EXPERIMENTAL GROUP ONE that receives a particular treatment.
- 25. CONTROL GROUP ONE that is studied without treatment. It is use as reference.
