Practical Research 1
Quarter 1 – Module 1:
Nature of Inquiry and Research
INTRODUCTORY MESSAGE
It is our desire that this module on Practical Research 1: Qualitative Research
will provide you with a general understanding of how to conduct practical qualitative
research and possibly even encourage you to undertake a study that may have been
thinking about doing.
Research is a delightful way to discover valuable learning and skills. Through
this subject, you help develop your abilities in establishing connections, listening,
writing, and observing which the primary elements are needed in the qualitative
research process. You will find out how to conduct practical researches that you can
apply in your specific track. Often, when we find out that we are going to engage in
research, we immediately worry and put on a skeptical face. It is our goal to replace
that worry with excitement, skepticism with confidence. You will discover how much
fun it is to do research as we eagerly learn new things and develop a new and better
perspective about research.
The twenty-first century learning allows you to discover, to improvise, and to
interact, using research as a tool to expand your knowledge and skills. With this
module on Practical Research 1, we hope that you will be able to nurture yourself to
be active, creative, and collaborative researchers.
1. In order to achieve the objectives of this module, here’s a simple guide for you:
2. Read and follow instructions carefully.
3. Answer the pretest before going through the lessons.
4. Take note and record points for clarification.
5. Compare your answers against the key to answers found at the end of the
module.

What I need to know
Every day you encountered various problems in any facets of life be it social,
political, environmental and personal. It may link between persons, groups or an
organization. In this case, there must be a solution not only to resolve it but can be a
progress that everybody benefited from it. As a learner how can you find a solution to
these problems that is based on knowledge not on ordinary beliefs, predictions or
theories? You need to have this knowledge through organized and well-planned
procedures that are accurate and useful. Thus you need to do research.
Research is asking what you know and think. It helps us to inquire on the right
information. It is of great importance to man in everyday life. The quality of man’s life
is improved through research making it easier and valuable from simple to modern.
Research develops you to an attitude to not believe everything easily available and
seek for truth - Research sharpens our mind to give a judicious vision to look. It is a
catalyst in solving complex issues in different sectors including health,
communications, business and the environment.

Further, the deliberations in this paper reveal that a critical conscious
research ethics are embedded in the unfolding research ethics process
involving the participants and the researchers, and both the participant
and researcher add equal weight to the transparency of the ethical
process and add value to building methodological and ethical rigor to the
research.1
The global public health response to COVID-19 could be significantly
enhanced by safe, effective vaccines and treatments, reliable measures
of correlates of immune protection, and improved scientific knowledge of
the disease and its transmission. It is widely agreed that vaccines would
be particularly important, and over 100 candidate vaccines are currently
being developed . Well designed human challenge studies provide one
of the most efficient and scientifically powerful means for testing
vaccines, especially because animal models are not adequately
generalizable to humans.

Developing an interest in different kinds of research will help you look into
something that affects your personality or your life in some important way. If you are
interested on a topic you are researching, you will enjoy reading and learning about
it. To define clearly the types of research in areas of interest you want to embark,
focus your scientific skills, your passion and ideas. It supports you to connect to your
career path. The examples of research in areas of interest will lead you to choose
specific topic of your research study which you will be exploring to create new
knowledge.

Review
In the previous lessons, you learned about research methods to be used in
your particular field of study. Whatever methods are used, there are many resources
to support research, and any number of variations to the basic methods. Choosing a
method of research that is adaptable in your study as a learner guides you to start
making a decision on what topic you want to pursue.
