INTRODUCTORY MESSAGE It is our desire that this module on Practical Research 1: Qualitative Research will provide you with a general understanding of how to conduct practical qualitative research and possibly even encourage you to undertake a study that may have been thinking about doing. Research is a delightful way to discover valuable learning and skills. Through this subject, you help develop your abilities in establishing connections, listening, writing, and observing which the primary elements are needed in the qualitative research process. You will find out how to conduct practical researches that you can apply in your specific track. Often, when we find out that we are going to engage in research, we immediately worry and put on a skeptical face. It is our goal to replace that worry with excitement, skepticism with confidence. You will discover how much fun it is to do research as we eagerly learn new things and develop a new and better perspective about research. The twenty-first century learning allows you to discover, to improvise, and to interact, using research as a tool to expand your knowledge and skills. With this module on Practical Research 1, we hope that you will be able to nurture yourself to be active, creative, and collaborative researchers.
