Respondents. The respondents will have an awareness on the

• Scope and limitation - refers to the parameters under which the study
will be operating. The scope serves as a zone of your research – what
should be included in the study and what should not be. You need to
make it as clear as possible what you will be studying and the factors
within the accepted range of your study. For example, if you want to
know if students who study more hours get higher exam scores, the
scope could include specific hours the Grade 12 students spend in
studying in a day and their exam scores in English (Goes & Simon,
2013).
Limitations are matters and occurrences that arise in a study which are
out of the researcher’s control. They limit the extensity to which a
study can go. Every study has a limitation that is why we do not use
the words “proves” or “disproves” with respect to research findings.
You might have access to only certain people, organization,
documents, and data that other studies may overcome (Goes & Simon,
2013).
