LIBRARY

LABORATORY

FIELD
 LIBRARY RESEARCH
 done primarily in the
library where answers
to specific questions
or problems are
available.
 LABORATORY RESEARCH

conducted in an
artificial or controlled
conditions by doing
the study in a
thoroughly specified
and equipped area.
 FIELD RESEARCH
the research is done in the natural
setting such as barangay, school or
factory.
CHARACTERISTICS
OF RESEARCH
CHARACTERISTICS OF RESEARCH

•research is based on
Empirical observations and
experimentation of theories

• research follows orderly,

sequential, and standard
Systematic procedures, based on valid
procedures and principles
CHARACTERISTICS OF RESEARCH

•all variables, except those

Controlled that are experimented on,
are kept constant

Employs • the hypothesis guides the

hypothesis investigation
process
CHARACTERISTICS OF RESEARCH

•critical analysis is done on

Analytical all data used to ensure an
error-free interpretation

•research is unbiased and

Objective logical
CHARACTERISTICS OF RESEARCH

Original - the work is new and not

copied or received from others
 ETHICS IN
RESEARCH
 ETHICS

norms for conduct

that distinguish
between acceptable
and unacceptable
behavior
 While morals are concerned
with principles of right and
wrong, ethics are related to right
and wrong conduct of an
individual in a particular
situation.
 GOOD ETHICS DEMAND THAT:

- researchers should ask permission to

the data providers or the
“subjects” that they carry out
research
- researchers should ensure not to
mislead the participants as to the
nature of the research
 GOOD ETHICS DEMAND THAT:

- research informants participating in

interviews are required to sign an
informed consent form which
outlines the nature of the research
project.
 GOOD ETHICS DEMAND THAT:

- research participants are assured

anonymity and will be referred to
using pseudonyms.
 GOOD ETHICS DEMAND THAT:

- researchers should avoid causing

both physical and psychological
difficulties to the participants and to
the socio-political environments in
which where they work
 GOOD ETHICS DEMAND THAT:

-- researchers are ethically bound to

maintain the privacy of the
participants, including the
confidentiality for any information they
give, and anonymity for their
identity
