End Chapter Questions:
1. What is a research?
Research is a technical, organized, systematic, calculated work in advancing our
knowledge in the development of things before us, things present and things ahead
of us for the purpose of innovation, research work and application.
Research is gathering of information and ideas in order to create a new concept
that is significant in the design and development of new technology and
advancement of it.
Research is a tool that propels ideas from a certain concept to becoming a
research work. An idea that both develop and improve any existing studies,
research work or any scientific, physical application to further advance information
and technology.
Research is an engineering intervention in making designs, processes, systems,
which constitute studies, investment, time and effort in order to develop new
projects.
2. Discuss the importance of research.
Research is the foundation of anything we see today. In the field of engineering,
technology, medicine, law and any contributing factors in the development of our
society.
Research also is where the economic progress and sustainability depends. It
concentrates to progress development of economy and social life of a certain
community, individual or a nation as a whole. Research and development in the
field of medicine, engineering, economics, business are all driving force in the
advancement of our livelihood. So long research will benefit for the good of
mankind, then research is a continuing process for the sustainability of our life.
Research guides us to make good decision to whatsoever project or study we are
into. It gives us the benefit to make things organized and not be misled with the
information we gather but rather be intelligent in gathering of information.
3. Four Frameworks research process. Discuss its relationship:
The four frameworks of research process are conceptual, theoretical,
methodological and analytical frameworks.
These are the systematic and organized procedure in order to establish details on
a particular research project.
These are all interconnected. From a concept of an idea or potential project, to
gathering information, testing the idea if it is theoretically calculated. Applying
methods on how it works, or the process of it and doing technical and visual
analysis in order to determine if it align with your research proposal. It is a process
of which through these frameworks, a research is deemed possible or with
potential.
4. Discuss the importance of literature review:
Literature review is a careful analysis on your research proposal that might have
similar objective or existing studies prior to your conception of the idea. It will help
sort out specification on which your study should concentrate without committing
violation of plagiarism. Instead, it must add informative idea to any research
without conflict to its content, but rather compliments or complete in case there are
ideas that is worth adding or modifying, making it as a new potential research.
5. Discuss how the research process starts.
Research starts with an idea. You conceptualize idea to be studied. An idea based
on observation, experience, existing facts, existing studies, thought process and
sometimes imagination.
o A research must be supported with facts, gathering of information,
calculation and experimentation in order to prove that such idea is possible
and viable.
