III. Procedure
Preliminaries:
 Prayer
 Greetings
 Checking of Attendance
 Motivation
 Review of the past topic
A. Activity
The students will be grouped into 3. The teacher will give each group a
cartolina that contains bubble map. Based in their stock knowledge and on the
words surrounding the middle word, define the middle word in each cluster.
Each group should post their cartolina on the board and select one
representive to present their answers.
B. Analysis
 What can you observe from the words?

Do you think there is a connection to the topic that will be going to
discuss? Explain.

Do you have any ideas of what is research all about?

C. Abstraction
NATURE OF INQUIRY AND RESEARCH
One goal of education is knowledge acquisition. However,
education is not just stocking your brain with knowledge, but it also
encourages you to use acquired knowledge for a deeper understanding
of the world.
INQUIRY a term that is synonymous with the word
“INVESTIGATION”, is the answer to this question. When you inquire or
investigate, you tend to ask questions to probe or examine something.
You do this kind of examination through your HOTS or higher-order
thinking strategies of inferential, analytical, critical, creative, and
appreciative thinking to discover more understandable or meaningful
things beyond such object of your inquiry.
Research is a scientific, experiential, or inductive manner of
thinking or simply means answers to questions and solutions to
problems. Starting from particular to more complex ideas, you execute
varied thinking acts that range from lower-order to higher-order thinking
strategies reflected by these research activities: identifying the topic or
problem, gathering data, making theories, formulating hypothesis,
analyzing data, and drawing conclusions. Cognitively driven terms like
empirical, logical, cyclical, analytical, critical, methodical, and replicable
are the right descriptive words to characterize research.
The data you work on in research do not come mainly from
yourself but also from other sources of knowledge like people, books,
and artworks, among others. Hence, one cardinal principle in research
is to give acknowledgement to owners of all sources of knowledge
involved in your research work. Giving credit to people from whom you
derived your data is your way of not only thanking the authors of their
contribution to the field, but also establishing the validity and reliability

of the findings of your research that ought to serve as instrument for
world progress. (Muijs, 2011; Ransome, 2012).
METHODS OF RESEARCH
To be a researcher is to be a scientist, who must think logically
or systematically; that is, your research activities must follow a certain
order, like doing inductive thinking that makes you ponder on specific
ideas first, then move to more complex concepts like conclusions or
generalizations. Or, do the opposite of inductive thinking which is
deductive thinking that lets you start from forming generalizations to
examining details about the subject matter.
INQUIRY VIS-À-VIS RESEARCH
One scholarly activity that greatly involves inquiry is research.
Similar to inquiry that starts from what you are ignorant about, research
makes you learn something by means of a problem-solving technique/
Both inquiry and research encourage you to formulate questions to
direct you to the exact information you want to discover about the
object of your curiosity. (Goodwin, 2014; Lapan, 2012).
D. Application
The teacher will choose 3(three) random students to answer the
following questions:
1. Compare and contrast Inquiry and Research
2. Which is easier to carry out: Inquiry or Research? Give reasons for
your answer.
3. How can a researcher be a scientist?

In a 1/2(one-half) sheet of paper. Determine whether Inquiry or
Research is applicable to the given situations. Check the corresponding
column of your answer.
