Experimental research is done in stages in order to gather sufficient data.

Action research identifies a problem, implements a solution, and studies its effects.

Exploratory design combines elements from various research designs and uses both qualitative and quantitative methods.

Sequential design aims to describe the present situation in order to gain information about a phenomenon.

Honesty must be maintained in all communications (e.g., when reporting data, results, and procedures). Data should never be fabricated, falsified, or misrepresented.

Objectivity means avoiding biases in the experimental design, data analysis, interpretation, expert testimony, and the other aspects of research.

Integrity is consistency of thought and action is the foundation of the credibility of any research work. Promises and agreements should be kept and all actions should be made with a sincere purpose.

Careless errors and negligence should be avoided. Your work and the works of your peers should be critically examined. Records of research activities should be kept in good order and condition.

Respect to intellectual property means being open to criticisms and new ideas. Research data, results, ideas, and resources should also be shared with the public.

Social responsibility means that all those eligible to participate in research should be allowed to do so.

Professional competence and expertise should be maintained and improved with the research is a practice of competence.

The rationale of the problem describes the distinctive characteristics of the geographical location of the place where the study is to be conducted.

A variable refers to any characteristic that can have different values or traits that may vary across research participants.

The delimitation of the study describes the various limitations that arose during the design and conduct of the study.

The statement of the problem excludes the central phenomenon.

The statement of the problem discusses the purpose that the research will serve to society, the country, the government, the institution or agency concerned, the curriculum planners and developers, and the research community.

The introduction identifies the variables of the study.

The introduction proves that problem exists.

The conceptual framework mentions the theory which the study is anchored on.

The significance of the study enumerates and underlines the groups of people who will derive benefits from the results and conclusions.

The design that studies a group of people over a long period of time is known to be longitudinal.

Exploratory research focuses on problems with little or no research done about them and gathers information that will guide future studies.

Prospective research participants must be fully informed about the procedures and risks involved in the research. Their consent to participate must be secured.

Any person should not be coerced to participate in any research undertaking.

The participants must remain anonymous throughout the study even to the researchers themselves.

Sufficient attribution should NOT be placed when using the ideas of others.

A researcher should know and obey relevant laws, and institutional and government policies.

Ethics in research promotes the pursuit of knowledge, truth, and credibility; helps ensure researcher’s accountability; and builds public support for the study.

An introduction prefaces the study by providing a summary of the main idea and is usually short and concise.

The review of related literature describes how the researcher will answer the research questions in a credible manner.

All the data to be reported should include all facts with accuracy.

The researchers should accept all comments and give considerations.

When a paper is already submitted to a publication, no submission to another should be done.

The researcher should be fully equipped with research skills when conducting the study.

An experienced researcher should impart knowledge to his or her students.

The researcher should ensure that the participants will not be adversely affected by the research and its results.
