THE RESEARCH
FORMAT
What is BASIC RESEARCH
Basic research, also called pure research or
fundamental research, is scientific
research aimed to improve scientific theories for
improved understanding or prediction of natural
or other phenomena
It can be exploratory, descriptive or explanatory
which can generate new ideas, principles and
theories
Is used for evidence-based policy formulation

Introduction of the Research
includes the rationale for the research and
relevant, social, policy, or practice context of the
study
Explain why the research study is being
undertaken
Writing the Action Research
INTRODUCTION
(a model)
General Context
define, describe, situate your research topic/problem in
the first paragraph
Specific Context
Build up your research topic/problem by giving background
or situationer vis-à-vis researches, policies and/or practice
Concrete Context
Relate the previous context by
describing the actual situation in the
classroom, school, workplace, etc. this
serves as baseline data.
Rationale
Then, justify/explain the action
you’ll do to solve the problem

Rationale reiteration
The use of computers for simulation activity offers education providers a
significant educational tool to meet the needs of today’s learners by
providing them with interactive and practice-based, instructional
technologies to enhance the total learning process (Rolando et al, 2013).
According to Cimer (2012), despite the popularity of science
subject, many learners still consider it difficult to learn.
Research Questions
Should express a relation between two or more variables
Should be stated clearly and unambiguously in question
form
The problem should imply possibilities of empirical
testing. This means that the variables of the relation can
somehow be measured.
Research Questions
This study attempts to investigate the effects of integrating computer simulations in
Statement
teaching to the academic achievement in Electricity of the grade 8 and grade 10 students. This
