KINDS OF RESEARCH ACROSS FIELDS

At the end of this lesson, the students will be able to;

1. Identify the kinds of research across the fields.

2. Provide examples of research according to the category.

KINDS OF RESEARCH PAPER

1. Arts-Based Research is defined as the use of personal expression in various art forms as a primary mode of inquiry. It includes studies that may accompany or include the artistic expressions of others. It is making and doing of art as a means of understanding life.

 The examples of art-based research are:

•        “How the Arts Benefit Student Achievement”,

•        “The Arts and the Transfer of Learning”,

•        “The Role of Color in Beautification and Urban

❖    Aesthetics”

•        “Positive Classroom Environment Through Classroom Design” .

2. Research in Humanities

-is designed to explore human culture such as philosophy, religion, literature, linguistics and history. It also includes ancient and modern languages, human geography, laws, politics and other social sciences.

Humanities are academic disciplines that study aspects of human society and culture

Examples of Research in Humanities

•        “Religious Education in the Private Schools:

•        Practices and Challenges”

•        “Political System and Government in the

•        Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM)”.

3. Sports Research- is designed to help athletes reach and sustain their ideal body and wellness goals through proven high quality products. It is conducted to explain the underlying mechanisms how athletes maintain their good physical appearance and healthy lifestyle. It gives the coaches and athletes a way to gain solid information and apply it to sports performance. It helps the coaches form beliefs to develop programs and coaching techniques.

  The examples of sports research are:

•        “Participation of Students in Athletics and their Academic

•        Performance”,

•        “The Role and Experiences of the Sports Team Captains”,

•        “The Impact of Sports Activities on the Self-Efficacy of Students”

•        “The Untold Stories of Sports Enthusiasts”.

 4. Science Research

-is designed to discover laws, postulates theories that can explain natural or social phenomena. In other words, Science research builds scientific knowledge.

 Science Research is performed by applying systematic and constructed scientific method to obtain, analyze and interpret data. A strong and testable hypothesis is the fundamental part of the scientific research.

 5. Mathematics Research - is a study that looks at the myriad problems to enhance critical and logical thinking abilities.

It gives the opportunity to master mathematics topics and it provides an understanding of mathematics as an exact science.

Mathematics Research helps us to develop confidence and increase enthusiasm to do more mathematical problems. It may lead to find new formulas and help in finding ways to simplify calculations or problems.

 The examples of mathematics research are;

•        “Practical Work Approach (PWA) and Problem

•        Solving Skills of Students in Algebra”

•        “Students’ Misconceptions and Errors in Trigonometry”,

•        “Common Errors of Students in General Mathematics: Analysis and Remediation”

•        “Mathematics Experiences of Women and Girls: A Narrative Inquiry.

6. Agriculture Research

-is aimed at improving productivity and quality of crops by cultivating its generic improvement for a better plant protection, irrigation, storage methods, farm mechanization, efficient marketing, and better management of agricultural resources.

Agriculture plays a crucial role in the life of an economy. It is the backbone of the economic system. It does not only provide food and raw material but also

 The examples of agriculture research are:

•        “Effect of Different Rates of Nitrogen Fertilizers on Growth and Quality of Rice and Corn”

•        “Shaping the Modern Farming Through AgTech Fusion”,

•        “Growth and Development of Eggplant (Solanum Melongena) as Influenced by Various Organic Fertilizers”

•        “Modern Farming Methods: Changing the Face of Agriculture”.

7. Fisheries Research

- is conducted to increase the production of fishery resources for the purpose of providing human food. It helps the fisheries management authority such as Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) to protect different bodies of water so that sustainable supply of aquatic resources is maintained .

  Examples of Fisheries Research

The examples of fisheries research are:

•        “Vulnerability of Inland and Coastal Aquaculture to Climate Change”

•        “Effect of Commercial Fishing Technologies on Marine Ecosystem”,

•        “Dredging: Habitant Destruction of Clams and other Aquatic Resources”

•        “Why Do Fish Stocks Collapse? An Exploratory Study”.

 8. Information and Communication

Technology (ICT) Research

-is designed to ease knowledge-gathering process and to enhance resource-development. It is conducted to make us ready to adapt with the bchanging times and to understand today’s fast changing knowledge and its peculiarities.

The examples of ICT research are:

•        “The Role of ICT within Small and Medium Enterprises in the Municipality of Esperanza, Sultan Kudarat”,

•        “Implementation of DepEd Computerization Program (DCP) in the Public High Schools in Sultan Kudarat”

•        “Art and Mathematics Modelling in Computers”

•        “Role of Computers in Digital Forensics”.

9. Business Research

Is the process of acquiring detailed information of all areas of business and using such information in maximizing the sales and profit of the business? It helps business firms determine which product or service is most profitable or in demand.

 The examples of business research are:

•        “Financial Literacy, Spending Practices and Performance of Teachers“.

•        “Budgeting Practices and Business Efficiency of Large Enterprises at Sta.Maria Bulacan”.

 10. Social Science Research

-is a study that focuses on finding reasons for human behavior. It is conducted to gather information about people and societies. It can change the already accepted principles through its new research methodologies and findings.
