INTRODUCTION
Research is significant in our everyday activities. It is the result of a thinking process that
involves students in questioning techniques or models.
Research is a process of executing various mental acts for discovering and examining facts
and information to prove the accuracy or truthfulness of your claims or conclusions about the
topic of your research.
Research requires you to inquire or investigate about your chosen research topic by asking
questions that will make you engage yourself in top-level thinking strategies of interpreting,
analyzing, synthesizing, criticizing, appreciating, or creating to enable you to discover truths

about the many things you tend to wonder about the topic of your research work. (Litchman
2013).
Alberta Inquiry Model

Consider this inquiry learning model that operates as a non-linear approach to questioning.
This is an instructional model that will enable the students to recognize that information
seeking is a cyclical process.
Source: Focus on Inquiry: A Teacher’s Guide to Implementing Inquiry-based Learning.
Research is very important if we know how to make sense of it. Think of this important
question: How does inquiry and research facilitate in finding solutions to real-life problems
and develop critical thinking skills and lifelong learning?
Through inquiry, students engage in research around interesting ideas and essential
questions. Questioning, critical thinking, and the creative development of new knowledge
through inquiry are as important (if not more so) to learning as information finding through
research.

DEVELOPMENT
Around you are different people, things, and places. All these vary from one another as
regards character or qualities. Curious about a person or a thing, you are inclined to conduct
a qualitative research to discover such individual’s thoughts, feelings, and attitudes about a
certain topic, or to find out something beneath the surface of an inanimate thing or the effects
of such object or place to some people. To discover facts and information about the object
of your interest is to work collaboratively with some people, for the answers to your questions
about your topic do not come only from yourself but from others as well. Here lies the
importance of qualitative research.
Importance of Research
▪ It promotes people’s interdependence or interpersonal relationships that the world
needs for solving its societal problems.
▪ Research studies happen in any field of knowledge. Anthropology, Business,
Communication, Education, Engineering, Law, and Nursing, among others, turn in a
big number of research studies that reflect varied interests of people.
▪ Resulting from internal aspects, people cannot measure worldviews but can know
them through numbers. Obtaining world knowledge in this manner directs you to do a
research called Qualitative Research. This is a research type that puts premium or
high value on people’s thinking or point of view conditioned by their personal traits.
▪ As such, it usually takes place in soft sciences like social sciences, politics, economics,
humanities, education, psychology, nursing, and all business-related subjects.
▪ In a qualitative research, the reality is conditioned by society and people’s intentions
are involved in explaining cause-effect relationships. Things are studied in their natural
setting, enough for you to conclude that qualitative research is an act of inquiry or
investigation of real-life events.
▪ The importance of any researches in any of these two areas in business are to increase
man’s understanding of the truths in line with markets and marketing activities, making
him more intelligent in arriving at decisions about these aspects of his life. Research
types that are useful for these areas are the basic and applied research. (Feinberg
2013)
▪ Qualitative research is important in promoting a full understanding of human behavior
or personality traits in their natural setting.
▪ Research is instrumental for positive societal changes.
▪ It engenders respect for people’s individuality as it demands the researcher’s careful
and attentive stand toward people’s world views.
▪ Research helps in a way of understanding and interpreting social interactions.
▪ Research increases the researcher’s interest in the study as it includes the
researcher’s experience or background knowledge in interpreting verbal and visual
data.
▪ It offers multiple ways of acquiring and examining knowledge about something .

Research is defined as the scientific investigation of phenomena which includes collection,

presentation, analysis and interpretation of facts that lines an individual‘s speculation with
reality.
Characteristics of Research
1. Empirical. Research is based on direct experience or observation by the researcher.
2. Logical. Research is based on valid procedures and principles.
3. Cyclical. Research is a cyclical process because it starts with a problem and ends
with a problem.
4. Analytical. Research utilizes proven analytical procedures in gathering the data,
whether historical, descriptive, and experimental and case study.
5. Critical. Research exhibits careful and precise judgment.
6. Methodical. Research is conducted in a methodical manner without bias using
systematic method and procedures.
7. Replicability. The research design and procedures are replicated or repeated to
enable the researcher to arrive at valid and conclusive results.
Process of Research
1. Select a general problem.
Factors to consider in selecting research problem
a. Researcher‘s area of interest
b. Availability of funds
c. Investigator‘s ability and training
2. Review the literature of the problem.
3. Select a specific research problem, question, or hypothesis.
4. Collect data.
5. Analyze and present or display data.
6. Interpret the findings and state conclusions or generalizations regarding the problem
Ethics in Research
✓ Ethics generally is considered to deal with beliefs about what is right or wrong, proper
or improper, good or bad. According to a dictionary definition (Webster‘s 1968), to be
ethical is to conform to accepted professional practice.
Ethical considerations in conducting research
1. Objectivity and integrity

2. Respect of the research subjects‘ right to privacy and dignity and protection of subjects
from personal harm
3. Presentation of research findings
4. Misuse of research role
5. Acknowledgement of research collaboration and assistance
6. Distortions of findings by sponsor
4
Quarter
Unethical practices in conducting research
1. Deceiving a respondent about the true purpose of a study

2. Asking a respondent questions that cause him or her extreme embarrassment; guilt
emotional turmoil by remaining him or her of an unpleasant experience
3. Invading the privacy of a respondent
4. Studying the respondents or research subjects without their knowledge
5. When analyzing the data—revealing only part of the facts, presenting facts out of
context, falsifying findings or offering misleading presentation such as lying with
statistics

Quantitative and Qualitative Research
Quantitative research is a type of educational research in which the researcher decides what
to study; asks specific, narrow questions; collects quantifiable data from participants;
analyzes these numbers using.
Qualitative research is a type of educational research in which the researcher relies on the
views of participants; asks broad, general questions; collects data consisting largely words
(text) from participants; describes and analyzes these words for themes; and conducts the
inquiry in a subjective, biased manner.

Types of Research
1. Based on application of research method

• Pure research. This refers to systematic study of life aimed at fuller knowledge
or a deeper understanding of the theoretical aspects of a phenomenonThis type
of research aims to increase your knowledge about something. This is the
source of most new scientific ideas and ways of thinking about the world. It can
be exploratory, descriptive, or explanatory; however, explanatory research is
the most common. Pure research is aimed to know fundamental laws
in pure Sciences; for instance Einstein's formulation of the theory of General
relativity was a big step in (Pure) Physics.
• Applied research. Applied research is a methodology used to solve a specific,
practical issue affecting an individual or group. This scientific method of study
and research is used in business, medicine, and education in order to find
solutions that may improve health, solve scientific problems or develop new
technology.This type of research aims to apply your chosen research to societal
problems or issues. Examples: Improve workplace commitment by arriving at
practical worker-motivation strategies. Investigating treatment and
management options for anxiety and panic attacks. Investigating factors that
improve worker's productivity.
2. Based on the purpose of the research
• Descriptive research. This aims at defining or giving a verbal portrayal or
picture of a person, thing, event, group, situation, etc. This is liable to repeated
research because its topic relates itself only to a limited number of years.
Example: An apparel brand wants to understand the fashion purchasing trends
among New York buyers.
7
Quarter
• Correlational research. This shows relationships or connectedness of two

factors, circumstances, or agents called variables that affect the research.
Example: Quantitative Correlational Study: Emotional Intelligence and Project
Outcomes among Senior High School Students in Technology
• Explanatory research. This research elaborates or explains not just the
reasons behind the relationship of two factors, but also the ways by which such
relationship exists. Example: Explain how to make a cloud in a bottle or how to
make a mini volcano in your kitchen.
• Exploratory research. This is a research used to investigate a problem which
is not clearly defined. It is conducted to have a better understanding of the
existing problem, but will not provide conclusive results. Its purpose is to find
out how reasonable or possible it is to conduct a research study on a certain
topic. Here, you will discover ideas on topics that could trigger your interest in
conducting research studies. Example: The psychological effects of early
marriages on teenagers.
• Action research. It is the study of an ongoing practice of a school,
organization, community, or institution for the purpose of obtaining results that
will bring improvements in the system. Action Research is
either research initiated to solve an immediate problem or a reflective process
of progressive problem solving that integrates research, action, and analysis.
The integration of action includes the development and implementation of a
plan or strategy to address the focus of the research. Example: Examining the
test scores to identify areas that need improvement, and then determine a plan
of action to improve student performance.
3. Based on types of data needed
• Quantitative research. This involves measurement of data. Thus, it presents
research findings referring to the number or frequency of something in
numerical forms (i.e., using percentages, fractions, numbers). Quantitative
research is widely used in the natural and social sciences: biology, chemistry,
psychology, economics, sociology, marketing, etc. Example: A
survey conducted to understand the amount of time a doctor takes to tend to a
patient when the patient walks into the hospital.
• Qualitative research. It involves collecting and analyzing non-numerical data
(e.g., text, video, or audio) to understand concepts, opinions, or experiences.
These opinionated answers from people are not measurable; so, verbal
language is the right way to express your findings. Example: A Study of the
Possible Harmful Effects of Cosmetic Beauty Products on Human Health
What is Field Research?
Field Research is defined as qualitative method of data collection that aims to observe,
interact and understand people while they are in natural environment.
➢ Direct Observation. In this method, the data is collected via an observational

method or subjects in a natural environment. This method of field research is widely
used in a public setting or environment but not in a private environment as it raises
an ethical dilemma.
➢ Participant Observation. In this method, the researcher is deeply involved in the
research process, not just purely as an observer, but also a participant. In this
8
Quarter
method, researchers live in a comfortable environment with the participants of the

research, to make them comfortable and open up to in-depth discussions.
➢ Ethnography is an expended observation of social research and social perspective
and the cultural values of an entire social setting. The entire communities are
observed objectively.
➢ Qualitative Interviews. It is a closed-ended questions that are asked directly to the
research subjects. It could be informal and conversational, semi structured,
standardized and open-ended or a mix of all the above three.
➢ Case Study. It is in-depth analysis of a person, situation or event. This method may
look difficult to operate; however, it is one of the simplest ways of conducting research
as it involves a deep dive and thorough understanding the data collection methods
and inferring data.

INTRODUCTION
Living in a world filled with different race makes us more unique as an individual. We might
probably think and ask what are those unique traits, its similarities and differences. In such
a way, qualitative research plays a vital role in answering our doubts and queries in that
certain matters.
According to Coghan 2014, there is a personal involvement in every stage of your research.
According to Silverman 2013; Litchman 2013; Walliman 2014; Suter 2012, qualitative
research is an act of inquiry or investigation of real-life events.

DEVELOPMENT
Types of Qualitative Research
1. Phenomenology. Coming from the word “phenomenon,” which means something

known through sensory experience. It refers to the study of how people find their
experiences meaningful. Its primary goal is to make people understand their
experiences.
2. Ethnography. It is the study of a particular cultural group to get a clear
understanding of its organizational set-up, internal operation and lifestyle.
3. Grounded theory. It is a development of theory directly based and grounded in the
data collected by the researcher. It is a research methodology for discovering theory
in a substantive area. It takes place when you discover a new theory to underlie
your study at the time of data collection and analysis.
4. Case study. This involves a long time study of a person, group, organization, or
situation. It seeks to find answers to why such thing occurs to the subject. Varieties
of data collection methods such as interviews, questionnaires, observations and
documentary analysis are used.
Major Characteristics of Qualitative Research
1. Naturalistic inquiry. Studying real-world situations as they unfold naturally; non-

manipulative, unobtrusive, and non-controlling; openness to whatever emerges—
lack of predetermined constraints on outcomes.
2. Inductive analysis. Immersion in the details and specifics of the data to discover
important categories, dimensions, and interrelationships; begin by exploring
genuinely open questions rather than testing theoretically derived (deductive)
hypotheses.
3. Holistic perspective. The whole phenomenon under study is understood as a
complex system that is more than the sum of its parts; focus is on complex
interdependencies not meaningfully reduced to a few discrete variables and linear,
cause-effect relationships.
4. Qualitative data. Detailed, thick description; inquiry in depth; direct quotations
capturing people‘s personal perspectives and experiences.
5. Personal contact and insight. The researcher has direct contact with and gets close
to the people, situation, and phenomenon under study; researcher‘s personal
experiences and insights are important part of the inquiry and critical to
understanding the phenomenon.
6. Dynamic systems. Attention to process; assumes change is constant and ongoing
whether the focus is on an individual or an entire culture.
7. Unique case orientation. Assumes each case is special and unique; the first level
of inquiry is being true to, respecting, and capturing the details of the individual cases
12
Quarter
being studied; cross case analysis follows from and depends on the quality of
individual case studies.
8. Context sensitivity. Places findings in a social, historical, and temporal context;
doubtful of the possibility or meaningfulness of generalization across time and space.
9. Emphatic neutrality. Complete objectivity is impossible; pure subjectivity
undermines credibility; the researcher‘s passion is understanding the world in all its
complexity – not proving something, not advocating, not advancing personal agenda,
but understanding; the researcher includes personal experience and empathic insight
as part of the relevant data, while taking a neutral nonjudgmental stance toward
whatever content may emerge.
10. Design flexibility. Open to adapting inquiry as understanding deepens and/or
situations change; avoids getting locked into rigid designs that eliminate
responsiveness; pursues new paths of discovery as they emerge.
Strengths of Qualitative Research
1. Issues can be examined in detail and in depth.

2. Interviews are not restricted to specific questions and can be guided/redirected by the
researcher in real time.
3. The research framework and direction can be quickly revised as new information
emerges
4. The obtained data based on human experience is powerful and sometimes more
compelling than quantitative data.
5. Subtleties and complexities about the research subjects and/or topic are discovered
that are often missed by more positivistic inquiries.
6. Data usually are collected from a few cases or individuals so findings cannot be
generalized to a larger population. Findings can however be transferable to another
setting.
Limitations of Qualitative Research
1. Research quality is heavily dependent on the individual skills of the researcher and
more easily influenced by the researcher's personal biases and idiosyncrasies.
2. Rigor is more difficult to maintain, assess, and demonstrate.
3. The volume of data makes analysis and interpretation time consuming.
4. It is sometimes not as well understood and accepted as quantitative research within
the scientific community
5. The researcher's presence during data gathering, which is often unavoidable in
qualitative research, can affect the subjects' responses.
6. Issues of anonymity and confidentiality can bring/result to problems when presenting
findings
7. Findings can be more difficult and time consuming to characterize in a visual way.

Importance of qualitative research across fields
Qualitative research is a growing field of inquiry that cuts across disciplines and subject
matter. it subsumes a range of perspectives, paradigms and methods and within each
epistemological theory, qualitative research can mean different things. Qualitative research
provides valuable data for use in the design product-including data about user needs,
behavior patterns, and use cases.
Qualitative research is very important in educational research as it addresses the

“how” and “why” research questions and enables deeper understanding of experiences,
phenomena and context. Qualitative research allows you to ask questions that cannot be
easily put into numbers to understand human experience.
Qualitative is important in arts since with the use of this research people could be able
to reach new ideas and conclusions which will help people improve arts and discover new
techniques and any other more.
It provides an in-depth understanding of the ways people come to understand, act and
manage their day-to-day situations in particular settings. ... Qualitative research uses
words and images to help us understand more about “why” and “how” something is
happening (and, sometimes “what” is happening).
Qualitative researchers in the field of music education interact with research participants
and perform data collection in a variety of settings and formats. The ethical conduct
of research is paramount in all circumstances, but the nature of external regulatory
oversight varies with the research design.
In the field of Humanities, researchers ought to focus not to man’s social life but instead
studies it’s meanings, significance & visualizations of man’s experiences in the field of Fine
Arts, Literature, Music, Drama, Dance & other artistically inclined subjects.

Improving patient care as the use of telemedicine rises
A new app, developed by Abbott’s UK-based nutrition business, has already seen more than
2,500 healthcare professionals screen their patients simply and remotely for malnutrition,
muscle mass and function loss.
The app has proved beneficial during the Covid-19 pandemic, where many of us have become
comfortable doing virtually what we used to do in person, such as doctor's appointments and
health checks. The rise of telemedicine has allowed fellow healthcare providers to evaluate,
diagnose and treat patients remotely, when in-person consultations haven’t been possible.
In fact, a recent review evaluating the effectiveness of telemedicine in monitoring chronic

diseases, post-operative follow-up and other conditions, found telemedicine can help people
with diabetes improve blood glucose control and can be as useful as in-person care in
managing heart failure.1
However, telemedicine goes beyond the management of chronic diseases and post-operative
care. It also extends to preventive care. With the help of technology and new tools, healthcare
providers can provide care normally reserved for the doctor’s surgery, such as effectively
screening patients for common conditions related to poor nutrition – which can hinder a
person’s ability to fight off disease.
Identifying nutritional status is key to supporting your patients’ health

An editorial review recently published in Clinical Nutrition highlighted the importance of
screening patients for nutritional status, especially as more individuals are receiving
healthcare virtually.2 The authors proposed a new simple and remote nutritional screening
tool, R-MAPP (Remote – Malnutrition App), that healthcare professionals could use virtually
to help identify those at nutritional risk by evaluating certain criteria like body mass index (BMI)
or unplanned weight loss.
Abbott, who have long emphasised the importance of the role of nutrition in broader health
outcomes, wanted to make it as easy and as effective as possible for healthcare providers to
screen for malnutrition and muscle health. And they were the first to turn the R-MAPP
screening tool – outlined in the Clinical Nutrition editorial review – into an app to support the
adoption of the R-MAPP tool by healthcare professionals.
How R-MAPP works for you and your patients

With the app, you can monitor your patients remotely for malnutrition and muscle mass and
function loss.
After entering a few key details about your patients, you will screen patients using both the
Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool (‘MUST’) and the SARC-F (five-item questionnaire:
Strength, Assistance with walking, Rise from a chair, Climb stairs and Falls) tool.
After completing the screening questions and reviewing the data within the app, you will be
able to compare your patient’s ‘MUST’ and SARC-F scores against the R-MAPP guidelines
and share the results with your patients virtually.
15
Quarter
If your patient is found to be at risk or identified for malnutrition or sarcopenia, you will also
have the option to identify appropriate nutritional interventions to support your patients further.
Understanding your patient’s nutritional needs and risks can help you to offer them more
dimensional care. New tools to support this, especially in today’s telemedicine settings, can
make all the difference for your patients and their recovery.
With the new R-MAPP app, you have a simple tool at your fingertips to help better care for
your patients’ nutritional needs.
The application does not process or store any personal data.
Praise for R-MAPP

“Telemedicine, overcomes current providers challenges by providing a flexible and
convenient service to our patients whilst increasing job satisfaction to our
professionals. The R-MAPP makes a fantastic addition to telemedicine and our virtual
tools. It combines the ‘MUST’ with the Sarcopenia screening tool. A significant step in
our virtual nutrition journey!”
Dr Ione de Brito-Ashurst RD, head of therapies, The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust.
"I found it was really simple to follow and to use and I like that it gives a score at the
end so you can use it to measure and report progress which may help motivation and
patient satisfaction."
Sarah Brook, senior community dietitian, Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust.
“It’s a great ready-made screening resource for both malnutrition and sarcopenia,
which enables me to screen the patients risk factors both accurately and quickly and
then I can provide the specialist services the evidence they need and why I’ve made
that decision.”
Kelly Mortimer, advanced nurse practitioner, Integrated Frailty Service, Lancashire and South
Cumbria NHS Foundation Trust.
“I really like how the two validated/evidence based screening tool assessment scores
are contained in a single PDF form, therefore providing a more holistic assessment of
the patient. Also it helps to improve both the quality and standardisation of referrals.”
Kelly Mortimer, advanced nurse practitioner, Integrated Frailty Service, Lancashire and South

INTRODUCTION
In this lesson the students are expected to demonstrate understanding of the range of
research topics in the area of inquiry, the value of research in the area of interest and the
specificity and feasibility of the problem posed. Specifically, the students should be able to
design a research project related to daily life, write a research title, describe the
justifications/reasons for conducting the research, state research questions, indicate scope
and delimitation of research, cite benefits and beneficiaries of research and present written
statement of the problem.

DEVELOPMENT
Starting a research investigation is similar to embarking a journey through the maze. There
may be different routes to the exit point, but the key is where to begin. Let’s get started with
these key questions:
1. Where should a research begin?
2. How is a topic chosen?
Your research could begin based on the following:

Sources of interest
• Ex. Fishermen could have developed the most effective way to grow fish because they
are exposed to these things.
Daily life experiences
• Can stimulate one’s interest to explore a particular topic.
Academic readings
• Ex. Survey the views of people about a certain issue because they enjoy doing so
Personal hobbies
• Researchers can formulate questions as to how this thing became possible, how that
thing is able to do those, etc.
Ways on how to identify a research topic

1. Reading books, research articles, and other professional publications
2. Asking helps from experts
3. Observing things for some experiences about this interest
You can narrow down a research topic through determining

• what is current and what is new;
• recommendations of researchers who have conducted similar studies;
• what has already been studied; and
• new ways of gathering data
If you have a broad topic on your mind, you can narrow it down into a more specific one. Look
at the example below.
19
Quarter
Give it a try!
Think of a broad topic that interests you (e.g., animals, ICT, games, medicine, etc.) From this
broad topic, think of a possible smaller topic connected to this broad topic. Make this topic
more specific. Ask questions regarding the specific you have chosen. Use the inverted
pyramid to concretize your idea.
Research Problem
A statement about an area of concern, a condition to be improved upon, a difficulty to be
eliminated, or a troubling question that exists in scholarly literature, theory, or practice that
points to the need for a meaningful understanding and deliberate investigation. It is what the
researchers aim to answer later on as they go through the research endeavor.
Characteristics of a Research Problem

1. A research problem is not just answerable by yes or no. It should imply that explanations
and justifications regarding the true situation or observation are required.
2. It implies relationship between the variables of the study.
3. The problem should be stated in clear, unambiguous manner.
4. A researchable problem must imply interpretation and analysis of data.
A research problem should be
clearly defined or identified.

your goals so you can measure your degree of success
not impossible to achieve
within reach, realistic, and relevant to your life purpose
target date, a deadline to focus on and something to

How to write a problem statement

1. Put the problem in context (what do we already know?)
2. Describe the precise issue that the research will address (what do we need to know?)
3. Show the relevance of the problem (why do we need to know it?)
4. Set the objectives of the research (what will you do to find out?)
Research Title
This is the most important element that defines the research problem. In qualitative research,
a researcher starts with a tentative title. As the study progresses, the context of the study
20
Quarter
and the manner of the research respondents are revealed. The highlights of the research
are then included in the final title. A great title sets up the story in shorthand, giving readers
not only a taste of the style and tone of the book, but making the genre clear from the start.
You need drama, you need a connection to the audience, and you need to set up the story
without trying to tell the story.
The title summarizes the main idea or ideas of your study. A good title contains the fewest
possible words (maximum of 15 words) that adequately describe the contents and/or
purpose of your research paper.
Sample Research Title

1. An Assessment on Students’ Attitude and Practices in the New Normal System of
Education
2. Childhood Grief and Loss: Support and Interventions Used to Promote Healthy Coping
Strategies
3. Preventing and Overcoming Self-Harm
4. Healing the Mind Body Split
5. Cybersecurity and Cyberwar: What Everyone Needs to Know
Elements of a Research Title

• Purpose / Aim. Why do I want to conduct this study?
• Subject Matter / Topic. What do I want to study about?
• Locale / Place. Where do I conduct the study?
• Period. How long will it take for me to finish my study?
• Population / Respondents. From whom will my data come from or be collected?
Justifying the Conduct of Research

Background of the study is the first subsection of the Research Introduction. This is written
after you have already identified your research topic and written your research title. It
introduces important facets that establish the general context where the study revolves. It
may include the description of the subjects of the study or the history involving the research.
It gives your readers an overview of your topic (i.e. What do you want readers to know about
concerning your topic?)
Barrot (2017) identified the following as parts of background of the study:

· General information about your topic
Þ What is happening now about your issue you want to study?
· Context of your topic

Þ What are the conditions, settings, and situations with respect to your topic?
Þ Who are directly or indirectly involved?
· Rationale/Justification of your topic

Þ Why should we pay attention to your topic or the issue you want to study/address?
Þ Why should we care about your topic?
Þ Why is there a need to focus on the topic?
Þ What is the research gap?
21
Quarter
· Purpose of the Study
Þ What does the study aim to answer?
An important information that need to be highlighted in your background of the study is the
research gap or an issue that has not been fully addressed by previous studies. Establishing
your research gap is essential because it indicates the relevance or contribution of your
study. The bigger the gap, the more relevant your study is.
Here are the four components to consider in establishing the research gap (Barrot, 2017,
26-27):
1. Current state of the field (explain that the general field in which your current study is
situated remains to be an area of research gap up to the present);
2. Current and conventional practices in addressing the issue (discuss the current practices
being used by researchers, practitioners, or authorities within the particular field of study
you are investigating);
3. Research gap (justify the relevance of your study by highlighting which issues have not
been addressed yet or only limited is known about the specific field you are investigating);
and
4. Contribution of the present study in addressing the research gap (discuss how your study
will fill this gap).
The following are samples of research gaps in qualitative research lifted from the study of
Mullor-Bloch and Kranz (2015):
1. “While many studies have shown that recommendation agents use did result in improved
decision quality and decreased decision effort, there also exists some counter
evidence.” (Xiao and Benbasat 2007 in Mullor-Bloch and Kranz 2015, 19)
2. “Even if other streams of IS research suggest that intentions lead to behaviors, the
privacy paradox should be explored further to provide an understanding as to why such
is not the case with information privacy.” (Bélanger and Crossler 2011 in Mullor-Bloch
and Kranz 2015, 19)
3. “As e-commerce moves from primarily new and search products to experience products,
trust as related to product understanding and its underlying dimensions are likely to have
a different role that could be the topic of future research.” (Gefen et al. 2008 in Mullor-
Bloch and Kranz 2015, 19)
4. “Another strategy for improving the relevance of DSS research is to increase the number
of case studies, especially interpretive case studies. DSS is lagging behind general IS
in the adoption of this research paradigm.” (Arnott and Pervan 2005 in Mullor-Bloch and
Kranz 2015, 19)
5. “[…] no study to date has directly attempted to evaluate the ability of the IT project barrier
to produce response lag. […] Yet, without rigorous studies confirming or challenging the
notion […], no such conclusion is warranted.“ (Piccoli and Ives 2005 in Mullor-Bloch and
Kranz 2015, 19)
22
Quarter
6. “DSS researchers need to embrace contemporary research in psychology, management

and related fields to provide a stronger theoretical basis for projects.” (Arnott and Pervan
2005 in Mullor-Bloch and Kranz 2015, 19)
The subsection that comes after the background of the study is the Statement of the
Problem section which basically highlights the research questions of the study. You cannot
write the research questions unless you have already identified the research topic.
For a refresher, a research topic is a general area of interest that you would like to pursue
in your research. In this broad area of interest where your study is situated, you still need to
make it more specific to ensure that your study become manageable. This is where the
research problem comes in. This refers to the particular issue which you will address in
your study as well as the specific area of concern of the research. It also states what is to be
investigated, identifies the variables, and discusses their relationships.
The point of this discussion is no matter what, you have to narrow down the focus of your
study - from the research topic to the research problem. And once you have already
highlighted your research problem, you may then proceed to writing your research questions.
In a nutshell, a research question is what your study intends to answer. This is said to be
the question form of the research problem that you just have identified.
Research Question. A research question is 'a question that a research project sets out to
answer'. Choosing a research question is an essential element of both quantitative and
qualitative research.
• Can be derived from a wide variety of contents.
• Can be prompted by your own personal interest or experience.
• Can also be prompted by a theory that you are very much interested.
There are two types of research questions – the main/general research question and the
specific research questions. The main/general research question as the name suggests
is the broader question that encompasses the specific research questions. It is directly
derived from the problem. Meanwhile, specific research questions spring from the main
research question. Therefore, it is imperative that your specific research questions can be
subsumed under the main/general research question. For beginner researchers like you, 2-
3 specific research questions are good enough.
Criteria in Stating Research Questions

• They should be clear, in the sense of being intelligible.
• They should be researchable
• They should have some connection(s) with established theory and research.
• Your research questions should be linked to each other.
• They should at the very least hold out the prospect of being able to make an original
contribution
• The research questions should be neither too broad nor too narrow.

one focused, specific question.
The subsection that comes after statement of the problem is the scope and
delimitation.
Scope sets the coverage of your study. It answers the question “What are included in the
study?” It highlights the topic of the study, objectives of the study and the issues it will
address, time frame of the study, the locale or area where the you will study conduct the
study, characteristics of the participants, response formats, etc.
Meanwhile, delimitations set the boundaries. In other words, it indicates what you should
exclude in the study. It highlights which factors or variables you consciously neglect for
various reasons. You might impose delimitations for practical reasons, such as lack of time
or financial resources to carry out a more thorough investigation. For each delimiting factor,
you should discuss why you made those exclusions and explain how they might affect the
outcome of your research. Delimitations should be stated clearly so that your audience
understands why certain elements were excluded from your study.
Typically, the information that you need to include in the scope would cover the
following:
1. General purpose of the study.

2. The population or sample that you are studying.
3. The duration of the study.
4. The topics or theories that you will discuss.
5. The geographical location covered in the study.
24
Quarter
Significance of the Study is the section of the introduction that states the “contribution
or benefits that your study provides” (Barrot, 2017,p. 34) to individuals and various
organizations. It basically answers the question:
How may the research output be directly beneficial to people and other sectors of
the society?
According to Barrot (2017 ), there are two formats in writing significance of the study:
1. Topical arrangement is written in paragraph form and is based on your specific research
questions. In using this format, write one paragraph for each contribution. Use the
sample guide below:

2. Enumeration format is sequenced according to the beneficiaries of the study. There are
parts of statements that you can use in writing. These are as follows:
List down the target beneficiaries

Specify the beneficiary’s needs
Address the beneficiary’s needs
State the expected output and its benefit
Refer to the example below:

Benefits of Research
Benefit can be defined as the positive impact from the research to the parties directly
involved (e.g. research participants and those associated with them, researchers and
research organizations), as well as the demonstrable contribution of research to knowledge,
our economy, individuals and society.
Beneficiaries of Research
Beneficiaries are those who are likely to be interested in or to benefit from the
proposed research. List any beneficiaries from the research and give details of how the
results of the proposed research would be disseminated.
Presenting Written Statement of the Problem

Presenting Written Statement of the Problem is your chance to present and defend the
researchability of your chosen research topic. Remember topic presentation is conducted
to provide guidance to the researchers during the initial stage of research writing. To
consider the approval of your topic, always state the research gap followed by the main
objective of the study.
