HAVING INITIATIVE IS PREREQUISITE TO A SUCCESSFUL RESEARCH
We started the school year by refreshing your minds with the science investigatory projects you accomplished during the first year of research-- concepts, processes involved, realizations, learning and skills gained. We ended up with this big word (no need to mention it) which jump started our expectation setting and our goal for the school year-- come up with a research project which can be of great use to the majority of the society.
Just put into our hearts and minds this big and relevant starting word for the accomplishment of our big goals! :) |
WAYS OF GENERATING NEW IDEA
I was first introduced with this concept of idea generation for students when I was still in UP and I find it very relevant to the current struggles of high school students in coming up with topics for science investigatory projects.
NOTE!
It is not enough that you know this methods/processes of coming up with new ideas, you should be able to apply it! Hopefully, the two classroom activities we performed honed your skills in coming up with new research topics from a single topic serving as a springboard.
The key to successful usage of SCAMPER is READING, READING, READING, and FURTHER READING!

THE RESEARCH PROCESS
This lecture is an excerpt from the presentation "Business and Research; Research and Business" by Dr. Racelis of UP Diliman.
INQUIRY/NON INQUIRY RESEARCH
Most science investigatory projects follow the inquiry-based research following, loyally, the scientific method. But you may also deviate from it through the creation of different engineering projects, computer science-related outputs, and even theoretical formulations in mathematics.
For our next classroom activities, you may download the following files for classroom use. Also, be guided with our work plan (which you can download in the Research Resources section of the site) for the coming weeks for we will start writing the first chapter of your research papers. Be ready!
