Climb of Inquiry

To you who’ll soon begin the climb,

A question is your starting line.

My journey started with a "Why?"

Beneath the academic sky.

I learned to give my wonder wings,

With variables- the changing things

Independent that I’d test,

On Dependent all the rest.

A Conceptual Framework map I drew,

To make my theoretical view

A structured, clear, and testable design,

A solid and a purposeful line.

I hunted through the journals, deep,

While promises of sleep would keep.

Why cite? It’s honor, not a chore,

To give the credit owed, and more.

It’s building on a foundation laid,

With integrity, and not afraid.

The peer feedback, sharp but fair,

Improved my work with mindful care.

It turned my weaknesses to might,

And made my arguments watertight.

This is more than a task to complete,

It’s a new way to think, a mental feat.

It’s solving problems, clear and sound,

On proven, not on shaky, ground.

So see the key- not just a grade-

A foundation that your mind has laid.

My Journey in Writing a Research Proposal

As I reflect on my journey through the first quarter of our research course, I realize that writing a research proposal was a challenging yet rewarding experience. In this essay, I will share the most important lessons I learned about quantitative research, the significance of identifying variables and creating a conceptual framework, the importance of ethical citation and proper referencing, and how the skills I developed this quarter will benefit me in the future.

The most crucial lesson I learned this quarter is the importance of a well-structured research proposal. A good proposal outlines the research question, objectives, and methodology, providing a clear research project.

Identifying variables and creating a conceptual framework were important in helping me understand my research better. This process was important in developing a clear hypothesis.

Ethical citation and proper referencing are critical in conducting research. Through the literature review I learned the importance of acknowledging the work of other researchers and authors. Proper citation not only avoids plagiarism but also contributes to the academic integrity of the research.

The skills I developed this quarter will undoubtedly benefit me in future studies and real-life situations. Moreover, the discipline required in ethical citation and referencing will ensure that my work maintains the highest standards of clarity. In real-life situations, these skills will enhance my problem-solving and decision-making abilities, allowing me to approach challenges in a systematic and evidence-based manner.

The research process has profoundly changed the way I view problem-solving and decision-making. It has taught me to approach problems methodically, breaking them down into manageable components, identifying key variables, and considering multiple perspectives. This systematic approach has instilled in me a deeper appreciation for evidence-based decision-making, where conclusions are drawn from analysis rather than assumptions.

Throughout the quarter, activities such as the research proposal, literature review, and conceptual framework exercises were instrumental in shaping my understanding of quantitative research. The PETA activities, in particular, provided hands-on experience in designing a research project. These activities not only deepened my understanding of research methodologies but also equipped me with practical skills necessary for conducting research.

In conclusion, writing a research proposal this quarter was a journey of discovery and growth. It taught me the importance of a structured approach to research, the value of ethical practices, and the skills necessary for systematic problem-solving. As I move forward, I am confident that the lessons learned will guide me in both my academic and professional future.

This quarter in Practical Research 2 has been one of the most challenging yet fulfilling learning experiences I’ve had so far in senior high school. When I was Grade 11 student pa, at first, I thought research was just about gathering information and putting it into a paper, but I soon realized it’s much more than that. It’s a process, a journey that teaches us not only academic skills, but also patience, teamwork, and critical thinking.
