Dr. Agnes C. Francisco receives her certificate of
appreciation from Prof. Sedigo.

For the fourth speaker, Dr. Agnes B. Alimboyuguen, another faculty researcher of the
College of Arts and Sciences, talked about methods and methodology in the field of natural
sciences. For this area, it describes the activities necessary for the completion of a project,
mainly because it provides information that allows the reader to validate the results and the
conclusion. She said that some key requirements of a good natural science research were
the following: understandable and repeatable, conforms to objectives, and confined to the
procedures and methods. She said that there were specific details to be included such as
the manufacturer or model of the specialized equipment to be used, the sample to be used,
time and place, replications, and conditions of the experiment, data analysis, statistical
analysis. She concluded her talk by emphasizing that research impact, academic
consequences, and societal consequences were three major considerations in research in
the natural sciences. The value of one’s research in terms of its long-term benefits was what
counts. The beneficiaries should be the students, faculty and staff, farmers, government and
private institutions, industry and other clientele outside the CvSU community. Publishable
and patentable work was what they were looking for in this field. Impact assessment was no
longer the measure of success in research but whether there was a policy that was
developed out of the research. She encouraged everyone to copyright their works. Towards
the end of her discussion, it was established, through the moderatorship of Prof. Sedigo, that
the T3 Campuses will focus on these specific programs: Information and Computer
Technology (ICT), Education, Business Management (Entrepreneurship), Hospitality
Management (Product Development).
