QUALITATIVE RESEARCH
COMPILATION OF TASKS-3
for PRACTICAL RESEARCH 1

SELF-LEARNING KIT
 FOREWORD

The making of this Self-Learning Kit (SLK) is an answer to

the existing issues with regards to the continuity of learning among
students who are affected by the current health problems. Teaching
and learning delivery inside the classroom is challenged by this
time, however, through this Self-Learning Kit (SLK), the students will
be guided as they explore and discover new knowledge by their own
time and pace.

This Self-Learning Kit (SLK) provides simple but powerful

tools for helping students to understand the importance of research
in their daily life. The sharing of own experiences and knowledge
about their surroundings highlight this material.

This SLK consists of the 1st quarter specific content

standards, performance standards, learning competencies,
objectives and different tasks/activities which are comprehensively
studied upon, and heartily woven for the purpose of learning.

Enjoy while learning.

"The more important reason is that the research itself provides an

important long-run perspective on the issues that we face on a
day-to-day basis. "
-Ben Bernanke
