• Applied research deals with solving practical problems in the real world. In contrast to pure or basic research, applied inquiries and investigations involve the use of systematic research methods for the practical application of knowledge wherein identified individuals, specific groups, and/or the larger community or society will benefit.
• Community issues and problems in the real world are problematized and investigated by immersing the
  students into the field. Students are enjoined to learn more beyond what their classroom could of f er them
  through immersion education.
• In addition, students are given opportunity to extend oneself to help others, especially the unfortunate and
  underprivileged members of the society.
• Compliant of the K to 12 Basic Education Curriculum, this book is especially designed to develop critical
  thinking of students on the use and application of quantitative and qualitative methods in applied inquiries, investigation, and immersion. It describes the characteristics, processes, methods and tools in quantitative and qualitative research in different fields as well as the value of promoting ethics in research. It also provides answers to the “how-tos” in research which provides the students the knowledge and confidence they need to comprehend and design, conduct and analyze data, write and share findings, and evaluate research reports.
• Moreso, anchoring on the use of learner-centered approach to learning, students are encouraged to share,
  acknowledge, and challenge learning through inquiry-based teaching-learning strategies and uses outcome-based activities which support higher level of learning.
