The Research Process
What I Know
Directions: Choose the letter of the correct answer from the given choices by writing
the chosen letter on a separate sheet of paper.
1. Which of the following characteristics of research is being described when the
conclusion that is reached at the end of the study leads to other problems
which other researchers may undertake in the future?
A. Research is empirical.
B. Research is cyclical.
C. Research is analytical.
D. Research is systematic.
2. What is a sequence of problem-solving skills that scientists use to answer
questions or problems?
A. Research
C. Hypothesis Testing
B. Scientific Method D. Data Analysis
3. In the research process, which part summarizes the significant results of the
experiment?
A. Summary
C. Recommendation
B. Conclusion D. Methodology
4. A research design is necessary because it functions as the work plan for the
research investigation. What is a more comprehensive form of research plan
can be prepared?
A. Research Proposal C. Research RRL
B. Research Methodology
D. Research Hypotheses
5. Which of the following serves as a tentative solution to the problem prior to
any experimentation?
A. Hypothesis C. Definition of terms
B. Introduction D. Data Analysis

Activity 2. Word Hunt
What I Have Learned
Directions: Supply the missing blanks to complete the sentences.
As mentioned in the lesson, research is cyclical and systematical. This means that
you need to follow a step-by-step process to successfully conduct a research study.
The steps in the research process are essentially the same as those in the Scientific
Method. The latter is a sequence of problem-solving skills that scientist use to
answer questions or problems.
In the research process, one has to identify first the problem. Then after that,
formulate a hypothesis. Also, a review of related literature should be written to back
up the findings of the study. After that, data should be collected and analyzed.
Finally, results shall be presented.

3. Mr. Jack E. Bagbaga summarizes the significant results and finding in his
research entitled “Utilization of Mine Tailings as Alternative Raw Material for
Earthenware.” Which part of the research process did he accomplish?
A. Review of related literature
B. Preparation of research design
C. Data analysis and interpretation

Additional Activities
1. What is the research process? (2 points)
- It is a system or a process (includes several steps) that researchers need to
carry out when conducting a research. It is where we generate or gather
relevant information and data or results.
2. What are the steps in the process? (3 points)
- 1. Identifying the Research Problem
- 2. Formulate a Hypothesis (Null Hypothesis, tentative answer)
- 3. Review of Related Literature
- 4. Research Design (Work Plan)
- 5. Actual Experimentation (Experiment to gather data & information)
- 6. Formulating a Conclusion (Summarizes the result of the said experiment)
