    Chapter 1: The Problem and Its Setting

    Uploaded by

    AimeeAlipioDavid
    This document discusses the key aspects of a capstone research project. It defines scientific research as a methodological endeavor aimed at generating new ideas and solutions. There are two main approaches: discovery-based investigation which relies on observations and measurements, and hypothesis-based investigation which uses the scientific method to answer a research question. The goal of basic research is to gain new knowledge, while applied research aims to develop new processes or designs. A capstone research project involves reviewing relevant literature, formulating a problem statement and hypotheses, collecting and analyzing data, and reporting results. It concludes by outlining the typical components of a research paper such as an introduction, literature review, and methodology.
