everyday activities. It is the result of a
thinking process that involves students

various mental acts for discovering
and examining facts and information

of your claims or conclusions about the
topic of your research.

Research requires you to inquire
Practical Research 1
or investigate about your chosen
research topic by asking questions that
will make you engage yourself in top-
level thinking strategies of
interpreting, analyzing, synthesizing,
criticizing, appreciating, or creating to
enable you to discover truths about
the many things you tend to wonder
about the topic of your research work.

It promotes people’s interdependence or
interpersonal relationships that the world
needs for solving its societal problems.
Research studies happen in any field of
knowledge. Anthropology, Business,
Communication, Education, Engineering,

Daily Life 4
Resulting from internal aspects, people
Practical Research 1
cannot measure worldviews but can know
them through numbers. Obtaining world
knowledge in this manner directs you to do a
research called Qualitative Research. This is a
research type that puts premium or high
value on people’s thinking or point of view
conditioned by their personal traits.
As such, it usually takes place in soft sciences
like social sciences, politics, economics,
humanities, education, psychology, nursing,
and all business-related subjects.

In a qualitative research, the reality is conditioned
Practical Research 1
by society and people’s intentions are involved in
explaining cause-effect relationships. Things are
studied in their natural setting, enough for you to
conclude that qualitative research is an act of
inquiry or investigation of real-life events.
The importance of any researches in any of these
two areas in business are to increase man’s
understanding of the truths in line with markets
and marketing activities, making him more
intelligent in arriving at decisions about these
aspects of his life. Research types that are useful
for these areas are the basic and applied
research. (Feinberg 2013)
