Course Syllabus
The course aims to develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills of Grade 12 students through the conduct quantitative, qualitative, or mixed methods research relative to their interests and senior high school track and strand.
On the completion of this course, the student is expected to:

Lectures and Discussions
RESEARCH 101 Building on the Basics Inquiries, Investigations, and Immersion is about experiencing research and researching experiences. In this undertaking, basic knowledge of what research is, and how it works is essential to ensure that the experience becomes fulfilling. This is the main purpose of this lesson.
Incorporating a guided, small-group, brainstorming activity, the discussion aims to develop the following competencies in the students:
|
|
Quantitative and Qualitative Research After this discussion, you are expected to have the ability to:
|
|
Understanding Variables
|
|
Mixing Methods to Make More Meaning One of our discussions will center on this video - a talk given by John Creswell on the opportunity provided by mixed methods in social science research.
Guide questions and specific directions will follow. You are advised, however, to view the video even prior to the discussion of these guide questions as you might need time to listen to the talk multiple times in order to properly dissect the content of the speech. |

The Prezi at the right has been designed to supplement the discussion on mixed methods research design.
By the end of the discussion, students are expected to develop the following competencies:
|
|
Analyzing and Representing Qualitative Data
In this discussion, you are expected to be able to develop competencies that will allow you to answer the following questions:

|
In this discussion, SHS students taking up Inquiries, Investigations, and Immersion are expected to be able to develop competencies that will allow you to answer the following questions:
- How must quantitative data be analyzed in research? What are the steps in the process of quantitative data analysis?
- What is SPSS and how is it used for quantitative data analysis?

Performance Tasks
Understanding Research Designs The initial activity prescribed in the curriculum guide for the course (see DepEd SHS CG for Inquiries, Investigation, and Immersion) is brainstorming leading to the framing of a class research agenda. To provide structure for this activity, research designs introduced to students through the prerequisite courses (Practical Research 1 and 2) is reviewed and presented together with mixed methods research.
The main purpose of this task to facilitate the comparison of various quantitative and qualitative research designs through class discussions headed by students. It also seeks to deepen students' understanding of each design through critical analyses of research papers that have been selected by their classmates. Each research design discussion shall be presented in tandem with a critical analysis of the chosen paper. Guidelines and evaluation rubric are provided by documents at the right. These can also be downloaded using the links below this text.
Creating Codes, Conceptualizing CategoriesThis activity has been adopted from an online document linking it to Indiana University (see original link here).
The objective of the task is for students to experience coding responses and be able to generate themes from these codes that will provide general answers to the research question raised.
