Significance of the Study

When we/ you speak of the significance of the study, we/ you are identifying the
beneficiaries and the benefits it will give when the problem is solved. The beneficiaries
include individuals like students, teachers, doctors, principals, parents and others; the
government, non-governmental organizations, and even private individuals.
The sequence of the beneficiaries of the research starts from the most benefited to the
least benefited. The benefits must be specific and arranged according to the degree of
significance. ( Ref. C& E p. 50)
 Scope and Delimitation
 This section of your study launches the limits of the process in which your study will be
conducted. You will discuss the variables that you will examine and the methods that are
you going to use. Mention the number of participants/ respondents, the place where you
will get your data, the instrument to be used, and the time frame for your completing the
study. Determining the scope of the study will declare the feasibility of doing the
investigation and it will set the applicability of findings. Only those stated in the scope
shall cover the credibility and generalizability of results. ( ref. PR1 Diwa p. 75)
 Definition of Terms:
 Usually, in writing a research paper, the definition of terms is included. It helps in
simplifying some of the technical terms which are vital in the understanding of the
research project.
 There are two ways in defining the terms, the conceptual and operational definitions.
The conceptual definition is the meaning of the term that is based on how it is defined in
the dictionary or encyclopedia. Operational definition on the other hand is the meaning
of the term based on how it was used in the study.
Generally, there are two cases in which important terms need to be defined. First, if the
term is not common or widely known and second if the term has a specific or unique
meaning in the context of the study.
Terms that are defined must be arranged alphabetically.

 A literature review is a comprehensive classification and evaluation of what other

researchers have written about your topic. It identifies areas that could be studied when
you can establish that there seems to be a lack of attention on a given topic. Whether
there is a lack of study on your topic or there are contradicting views about it, your
literature review forms the very significance of your paper. It gives justification as to how
your research will fit into the existing body of knowledge. As such, it must be written
well. ( ref. PR2 Diwa p. 21)
 Points to Consider when writing the RRL
1. Provide a context of the study and clarifies the relationship between the
proposed research and the previous research.
2. Show how the proposed study is unique from the previous research.
3. Convince the reader that your study is timely and worthwhile.
Essential Elements: All the variables in the conceptual framework should be
discussed in your literature review. The two essential elements: the synthesis part and
the argument part. ( Vibal PR2 p. 90)

The research design provides a general plan of action. It guides the researcher on how the research is to be
done, what data to collect, and what method to utilize to collect data. Quantitative research involves the
collection of data or establishes the relationship between and among variables using statistical analysis.
 One of the two major types of research is the quantitative research design. In the quantitative research
design, objective theories, as well as hypotheses, are tested through the examination of the relationship
among concepts or variables, which can be measured through the use of research instruments like statistical
procedures. To analyze data, one uses statistics, tables, and charts. The statistics are used to prove to
disprove the research hypothesis. ( Applications and Practice of Research for the Senior High School:
