TASK SHEET NO. 6 Writing the Background of the Study

CONTENT STANDARD: The learner demonstrates understanding of
1. the range of research topics in the area of inquiry
2. the value of research in the area of interest
3. the specificity and feasibility of the problem posed
PERFORMANCE STANDARD: The learner is able to formulate clearly the statement of
research problem
OBJECTIVES: The student should be able to describes background of research.

BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

It is evident that in giving a background of a study, there is a need for to

understand the nature of the problem or issues, the extent of the problem or issue – is it
really a problem or issue? Who are affected? Who benefited? We should justify the
need to address the issue. To be able to do that, there is a need to elaborate the
different aspects of the research setting showing in depth and critical analysis of the
situation like what we have just done.
To check whether the background in comprehensive for a research study, follow
the checklist below:
 Nature of the problem
(2 paragraphs)
 Extent/Magnitude of the problem (with data)
(1 paragraph)
 Salience of the problem
(1 paragraph)
 Elaboration of the research setting - different aspects
(1 -2 paragraphs)

I. DIRECTIONS: Choose 1 picture from the 4 choices then observe and

analyze the chosen picture. Think about some research ideas that can be
depicted from the picture. Answer the questions below.
