TUGUEGARAO CITY, CAGAYAN—A refresher won’t hurt.
In fact, for the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) Region 02, a seminar-workshop tackling research at Cagayan State University-Carig from Dec. 8 to 10 will only improve health professionals’ efficiency at the workplace.
At the College of Information and Computing Sciences’ conference room, health workers whose roles thrust them in research will undergo various trainings, with the help of expert mentors and training facilitators, in spotting and going about research problems in the field.
Participants, which can also include health enthusiasts, will go through the steps of research via didactics, discussions, workshops and plenary sessions, facilitated by experienced practitioners such as Dr. Roberto M. Macatuggal, Dr. Amiel Nazer C. Bermudez, Dr. Maridel P. Borja and Dr. Josephine D. Lorica.
The lectures will cover an introduction to research and problem identification, literature review, development of conceptual framework, research design, sampling methods, tools for data collection, data analysis and research ethics, the usual processes involved in legitimate research worldwide.
Organizers have prepared corresponding workshops that will practically apply the concepts,and where participants will be divided into groups that will identify a research topic and in the end write a capsule proposal.
Going through the activity, the DOST hopes the participants will be able to revisit and better understand the different steps involved in research.
Presence in 80 percent of the activities merits a certificate of attendance.
