Inquiries, Investigations & Immersions_WEEKS 1,2,3,4

Summary

This video lesson introduces 'Increase Investigation and Immersion' (Triple I), a senior high school research subject combining quantitative and qualitative research to create innovative prototypes. The course emphasizes the design thinking model, with steps such as empathizing, defining, ideating, prototyping, and testing. Students learn how to write a research paper, including the IMRAD format, and develop the Statement of the Problem and the Review of Related Literature (RRL). The lesson guides students on how to create concept maps and RRL matrices, providing a clear roadmap for research and innovation that will benefit society.

Takeaways

• 😀 Triple I (Increase Investigation and Immersion) is the final research subject in Senior High School, combining both quantitative and qualitative research methods.
• 😀 Innovation in Triple I focuses on improving or creating systems, processes, or products that benefit the community.
• 😀 Prototype-based research is central to Triple I, where students develop early models of products based on identified research problems.
• 😀 The Design Thinking Model is used as the framework for Triple I, with five key steps: Empathize, Define, Ideate, Prototype, and Test.
• 😀 The three major research subjects in Senior High School are PR1 (qualitative), PR2 (quantitative), and Triple I (prototype-based innovation).
• 😀 A research agenda helps guide students in selecting topics that are relevant to their chosen strand (e.g., STEM, ABM, YUMS).
• 😀 IMRAD (Introduction, Methodology, Results, and Discussion) is the shorthand format for writing research articles and is commonly used in journals like Google Scholar and ScienceDirect.
• 😀 The Statement of the Problem is crucial in research as it outlines the central research question and variables involved (independent and dependent).
• 😀 The Review of Related Literature (RRL) is a collection of studies and data that inform the research problem and help strengthen the study's foundation.
• 😀 Students should create a concept map and an RRL matrix to organize and collect relevant literature, ensuring the depth of their research.

Q & A

What is the focus of the Increased Investigation and Immersion (Triple I) course?

The Triple I course focuses on the culmination of both quantitative and qualitative research, where students apply their learning to innovate and create prototypes that address real-world problems.

What is a prototype, and why is it important in this course?

A prototype is an early sample or model of a product used to test ideas and improvements. It is important in this course because students must create prototypes to address the problems they are studying and to apply their research findings.

How does innovation play a role in the Increased Investigation and Immersion course?

Innovation in this course involves transforming or modifying existing systems, processes, or products to create something new or improved. Students are tasked with creating innovative solutions that can benefit society.

What is the difference between PR1, PR2, and Triple I research subjects?

PR1 focuses on qualitative research to develop hypotheses and interpret phenomena, PR2 centers on quantitative research to validate hypotheses and generalize findings, while Triple I involves creating new products through prototype-based research.

Can you explain the five steps in the design thinking process?

The five steps in the design thinking process are: 1) Empathize - understanding users' experiences; 2) Define - gathering and combining information to clarify the problem; 3) Ideate - brainstorming possible solutions; 4) Prototype - creating models or products; 5) Test - assessing the product's effectiveness.

What is the significance of the research agenda in this course?

The research agenda provides a guide for students to identify appropriate research topics within their specific academic strands, such as STEM, ABM, or HUMSS, helping them focus on relevant and impactful issues.

What are the components of the IMRAD format, and where is it commonly used?

IMRAD stands for Introduction, Methodology, Results, and Discussion. It is commonly used in academic articles and journals to present research findings in a clear and concise structure.

How does the Statement of the Problem function in a research paper?

The Statement of the Problem defines the central research question, explains its relevance, and outlines the scope of the study, including identifying the independent and dependent variables. It is the foundation of the research paper.

What is the role of the Review of Related Literature (RRL) in a research project?

The RRL involves collecting and reviewing existing studies and literature related to the research topic. It provides the background and framework for the research, deepening the understanding of the problem being studied.

What is an RRL Matrix, and how is it used in research?

An RRL Matrix is a table used to organize and summarize collected literature. It includes the title, author, summary, and relevance of each article. It helps researchers organize their sources and ensure that the RRL is comprehensive.
