Technical terms are words that have specific meanings in a field of study. (Explain Why?)
FACT
Technical terms are used in a particular field—such as research, science, or medicine—to express ideas clearly and accurately. These words have precise definitions that may be different from their everyday meanings. Because of this, they help avoid confusion and ensure that everyone in the field understands the same concept.

Teacher wants to know the reading habits of all Grade 10 learners in the school. Since asking every student would take too much time, she chooses only 50 learners from different sections to answer her questions.

GUESS THE RESEARCH PROBLEM (Quantitative or Qualitative. Why?
“What is the average number of hours Grade 10 students spend on social media every day?”
Quantitative Research
(because it involves numbers and measurement)
100
After gathering data, a researcher notices that the questions in the survey seem to favor one side and may influence how the participants answer. This weakens the fairness of the study.
What problem in research is being shown here?
Bias

A sample is the entire population of the study.
(Explain Why?)
BLUFF
A sample is not the entire population. A sample is only a smaller group selected from the population to represent the whole group being studied. Researchers often use a sample because studying the entire population can be time-consuming, expensive, or impractical.
200
A study includes all Grade 10 learners in the school as respondents because the school only has a small number of students.
What do you call the entire group being studied?
Population

This person inside the classroom checks attendance, explains lessons, and reminds students about deadlines.

A researcher observes students inside the classroom without asking them any questions. Instead, the researcher records how often they participate, collaborate, and stay focused during group work.

Operational definitions explain how a term is measured in a study.
(Explain Why?)
FACT
Operational definitions describe how a concept or variable will be observed, measured, or identified in a research study. Instead of giving only the general meaning of a term, it explains the specific way the researcher will measure or apply it in the study. This helps make the research clear, measurable, and understandable for readers.
300
A researcher wants to study how students feel during oral recitation. Instead of collecting numerical scores, the researcher interviews learners, listens to their experiences, and groups their answers into themes like fear, confidence, and pressure.
What type of research is being used in this situation?
Qualitative Research
300
“This is the moment when researchers present their study and answer questions from the panel.”
THESIS DEFENSE
300
A researcher studies the relationship between sleep hours and academic performance by collecting numerical data and computing averages, percentages, and correlations.
What approach is most likely used in this study?
Quantitative Research

Bias improves the reliability of research results.
(Explain Why?)
BLUFF
Bias does not improve reliability. Instead, bias reduces the accuracy and fairness of research results. Bias happens when the research process is influenced by personal opinions, preferences, or unfair methods, which can lead to distorted or misleading findings.
400
A researcher defines “active participation” in the study as raising one’s hand at least three times during class discussion. This meaning is based on how the concept will be measured in the study.

A group of researchers studies how study habits affect academic performance.
They present a diagram showing Study Habits → Academic Performance, explaining how one variable influences the other in the study.
What part of the research presents this relationship between variables using a diagram or model?

Quantitative research focuses mainly on experiences and meanings.
(Explain Why?)
BLUFF
Quantitative research focuses on numerical data, measurements, and statistics, not on experiences or meanings. It aims to measure variables and analyze relationships using numbers.

A student writes:
"Bullying is harmful."
The teacher says the definition is incomplete because it does not explain the broader category of the term and what makes it different from other harmful acts.
What kind of definition does the teacher expect the student to write?

While writing Chapter 2 of their research paper, a student gathers different studies, books, and journal articles that discuss the same topic. These sources are analyzed and summarized to support the study and show what previous researchers discovered.
What section of the research paper is being described?
Review of Related Literature (RRL)
