THE PROBLEM
(INTRODUCTION)
This chapter contains background of the study, review
of related literature, conceptual framework, paradigm of
the study, statement of the problem, important of the
study, and lastly scope and limitation.
Background of the Study
In todays educational setting,many students are having
trouble in constructing Research Paper as a part of their
educational performances or school requirements. A Research
Paper is a comprehensive essay that students are required
to submit at the end of their academic semester. As Healey
(2005a) suggests,the greatest impacts on student’s learning
and understanding of research arose from their experiences
of doing research -based learning project. Almost all
students in the study reported that doing research changed
and enhanced their understanding and approaches to
university learning .However,most students found it to be
very challenging especially in the early stages. Still
Healey (2005a) says that research-based learning project
was presented to students as an experience of doing
research,and the research activities and processes they
undertook may have been more congruent with their common.

Place understandings of research as finding something out.
The research activities in the case-study simulation
involved students in applying knowledge derived from the
lecturer’s research to construct their own solutions to a
problem. This activity required that students understand
research to include extending,reinterpreting or
transforming knowledge.(Prosser and Trigwell 1999).
Research is very challenging fo students and needs to be
introduced in a way that builds their confidence and
skills. Developing student’s conception of research is
important so that they may understand that research
provides the basis for the production and evolution of
disciplinary knowledge as an area fo further investigation.
Review of related literatures/studies
MS Sumbawati and Y Anistyasari(2018)- Undergraduate
students often have difficulty in finding the updated
research topic for their undergraduate thesis. This clue to
students have less familiar with scientific articles.
Kerlinger(1973) - Stated that scientific research as
“a systematic,controlled,emperial and critical
investigation of hypottetical proposition about the
presumed relation among natural phenomena.
As Healey(2005a) - suggests,the greatest impacts on
students learning and understandings of research a rose

from their experiences of doing research based learning
project. Almost all students in the study reported that
doing research changed and enhanced the knowledge.
Lopatto(2009)The research community
Every undergraduate researcher has a graduate, postdoc, or
faculty supervisor functioning as a mentor, and some have
more than one. Recent survey data indicate that about 66
percent of undergraduate researchers work primarily with
faculty mentors, about 12 percent work primarily with
graduate student mentors, 9 percent work with postdocs, and
the rest work with other professionals such as industry
researchers at a commercial or government site. Students at
primarily undergraduate institutions are most likely to
have faculty mentors. A great deal of responsibility is
placed on the shoulders of the research mentor. Mentors are
described as teachers, coaches, career advisers, and
gatekeepers to the community of scholars. But does
mentoring really matter? The SURE survey permits student
respondents to evaluate their mentor. This evaluation may
be correlated with other responses. In each year of SURE
data, the report of learning gains correlates directly with
the evaluation of the student’s mentor. The majority of the
evaluations are positive, and over the last three years we
have accumulated over 5,000 cases that permit a statistical
3
analysis. When we examine the students’ reported learning
gains, we find a clear almost step-wise relation between
the students’ opinion of the mentor and the pattern of
student learning gains. Students who rated their supervisor
as an “outstanding mentor” reported significantly higher
gains than those who rated their supervisors “above
average,” who in turn reported higher gains than students
who rated their supervisors as “average,” and so on. As
impressive as this pattern is, the quantitative approach
does not capture the range of benefits of good mentoring.
The social relationships among research group members have
a strong impact on the undergraduate researcher’s plans for
continuing her education in the research field. As one
student wrote on her survey, “These interpersonal
relationships are just as important to me as the research
itself.” The observation occurred in the context of
explaining that she was leaving her planned science career
path because of poor mentoring.
University of Skovde(2016)
“Knowledge generated by research is the basis of
sustainable development, which requires that knowledge be
placed at the service of development, be converted into
applications, and be shared to ensure widespread benefits,”
says Mary-Louise Kearney, Director of the UNESCO Forum on

Higher Education, Research and Knowledge.
Conceptual Framework/Theoretical Framework
Research means to carefully analyze the
problem or to do the detailed study of the
specific problem,by making the special
scientific methods.
Research can be done on any topic,be if
medical,non-medical,or anything else.
In order to do a research,first of all
you need to have a topic or the problem
on which you can do research. The topic
must have relevant questions to answer.
Theorizing occurs on what he calls the
context of discovery,a process in w/c the
researcher gather preliminary data and
thinks creatively about it.

collected results can be misleading if the

Importance of the Study
In this study, some people can use this as their basis
to their future researches and they can also use this
research for their own purposes and can add some more
knowledge about research. There will be some beneficiaries
in our research:
Students - Of course students will benefit because they
can use our research to get some ideas to their future
reseachers.
Teachers - In our research, teacher can also benefit
because, they can give some example and ideas to their
students, teachers can also give some formats from our
research. Teachers will also benefit because they will know
if research is helpful to students or if it is necessary to
give research to students, what are effects and how does it
7
affect the student to their other subjects or academic
performances.
Scope and limitation
The study entitled “THE RELEVANCE OF STUDENT ABOUT
RESEARCH AND THE EFFECTS OF HAVING A RESEARCH SUBJECT”
focuses about how Research Paper is affecting
the learner to their academical performances. The conducted
research will be at Bct Plaza Natalia Baguio City and the
participants will be both Grade 11 and 12 students of any
strand who used to have Research in Daily Life subject. The
reseacher consults their instructor specially reading &
writing research in daily life teachers about their study.
The research paper, impact of a research exploratory study

and the impact of Research-led Education on student
learning.
