Introductory Message
This learning resource hopes to engage the learners into guided and
independent learning activities at their own pace and time. Furthermore, this
also aims to help learners acquire the needed 21st century skills while taking
into consideration their needs and circumstances.
Notes to the Teacher: This contains helpful tips or strategies that will
help you in guiding the learners.
This module was designed to provide you with fun and meaningful
opportunities for guided and independent learning at your own pace and time.
You will be enabled to process the contents of the learning resource while
being an active learner. This module has the following parts and
corresponding icons:

This will give you an idea of the skills or
What I Need to Know
competencies you are expected to learn in the
module!
This part includes an activity that aims to check
what you already know about the lesson to take. If
What I Know
you get all the answers correct (100%), you may
decide to skip this module.

What I Need to Know
This learning module will provide you with opportunities to enhance the
different competencies in English through a variety of contextualized and
differentiated learning activities.
In this module, you will be guided to distinguish technical terms used
in research (Quarter IV MELC no. 1).
After going through this module, you are expected to attain the following
competencies:
• be acquainted with technical terms used in research; and
• define research terminologies.
What I Know
Test Yourself. This activity diagnoses your stock knowledge on the basic
technical terms used in research.
Directions: Tell whether the following technical terms are used in research
or not. Write RESEARCH if it is a research term or NOPE if it is not.
_________ 1. Setting
_________ 2. Interviewee
_________ 3. Quality
_________ 4. Data
_________ 5. Law of gravity

What is It?

A. RESEARCH TERMINOLOGIES
Identifying research terminologies is the very basic step before you get
hooked into a research work. Knowing, defining, and understanding these
technical terms will lead you to a successful research.
3. Research Design
According to Saccharin, a research design is set up to decide on,
among other issues, how to collect further data, analyze and interpret
them, and finally to provide an answer to the problem.
Saccharin has identified six elements of research design: (1)
purpose of the study (2) type of investigation (3) extent of research
interference (4) study setting (5) unit of analysis and (6) time horizon.
It is a bounded system. It involves techniques and procedures
used to obtain and analyze research data; should be selected based on
the purpose of research. For example, the experimental research
method, survey research method or a case study research.
4. Research Techniques
These are techniques/approaches applied within the method to
collect data. A single method could employ a number of techniques. For
instance, survey is a method and questionnaire is a technique.
10
5. Research Instrument
It is a device to collect data such as lab instrument,
questionnaire, researcher, interview guide, and camera. Research is all
about making right decisions while planning. Researchers need to
decide upon what shall be their research methodology based on the
nature of the research problem.
6. Theoretical Framework
A study is based on an existing theory or theories. For an example,
a theory of motivation. It helps in relating your identified/specified
variables. It represents context of studies which are based on theories –
testing them or explaining them based on previous studies. It is basically a
plan of your study.
7. Conceptual framework
This is something you can develop yourself based on the theory.
Conceptual framework is developed by the researcher to solve a
particular problem that he or she wants to find solution.
A general understanding is that conceptual framework is used
more often with qualitative research while theoretical framework is
often used with quantitative research.
11
an area of specialization, and most importantly, a requirement for
graduation.
3. Variable
It is anything in a research situation that varies and can be
measured. It can be human characteristics, or it can be a characteristics
of teaching methods or strategies.
4. Hypothesis
A tentative statement about how two or more variables are related.
This is an intelligent guess on what the output of a research prior to its
conduct would be.
In current practice, hypothesis stated as no relations among
variables is otherwise known as null hypothesis.
5. Related Literature
It is a discussion on the secondary sources of data taken from local
and foreign references, observing proper documentation.
6. Related Studies
Discussion on the primary sources of data taken from foreign and
local research such as thesis and dissertations. Take note that related
literature is different from related studies.
12
The tools used to gather research data, for instance a
Methods phone questionnaire, face to face interview, gathering
census data.
Research discovering facts about social experiences
and trends where data is collected through measuring
things and is analyzed through numerical comparisons and
statistical inferences.
Quantitative
Data is represented numerically as a percentage, a
Research
mean, an average etc. Commonly, data appears as a table,
graph, or a pie or line chart.
As data is presented as representative, the sample,
that is the source of the data, is extremely important.
Research that is not presented as representative but
as offering people’s reflections or perspectives on an issue
or experience. It is traditionally conducted via interviews or
observation.
Qualitative Data is analyzed by themes drawn from informants’
Research descriptions.
Also referred to as ‘interpretive’ and ‘grounded’,
qualitative research is more interested in questions of how
and why than in how many.
A substantiated (evidence based) explanation for the
way something is as it is.
Theory The body of rules, ideas, principles, and techniques
that applies to a particular subject.
The typed record of an interview obtained from audio
Transcript or video recordings.
A group of individuals selected by a researcher because
they possess attributes of interest to the research project.
Sample A representative sample is one which is representative
of a larger group. If the sample is selected carefully, the
resulting data can be applied to the group as a whole.
Observation is the systematic noting and recording of
events, behaviors and objects in the social setting chosen
for the study. The observational record is referred to as field
notes, which are detailed, non-judgmental, concrete
Observation descriptions of what is being observed. A participant
observer is someone who is a part of the activity as well as
making the observations.
