LESSON 2“I fear the Greeks, especially when

they
are bringing gifts.”

∙ Odysseus (King of Ithaca) got an idea.

∙ “I know,” he said. “We’ll build a large, hollow wooden

horse that our soldiers can hide inside. Then we will
take
the horse into Troy and do away with the Trojans
once
 and for all.” The Trojan Horse, as it came to be called,
was built and offered as a gift to the Trojans. The
Tro
jans eventually accepted the gift and took it into
their
city

∙ Later that night, after most of Troy was asleep, the

Greek
warriors climbed out of the horse and slaughtered the Tro
jans.

∙ King Priam, ruler of the Trojans, was killed.

∙ After the war was over, the Greeks (including the mas
termind, Odysseus) set sail for home.

LESSON 3
What is Research?

∙ Research means “Search for Knowledge”.

∙ It aims at discovering the truth.

∙ It is the search for knowledge through objective and systematic method of finding
solution to problems.
∙ It is carried on both for discovering new facts and verification of old ones.
∙ Therefore, research is a process of systematic and indepth study or search of any
particular topic, subject, or area of investigation backed by collection, computa
tion, presentation and interpretation of relevant idea.

LESSON 3
Parts of Introduction

1. Introduction
It discusses four (4) relevant ideas:

TOPIC. It defines and elaborate using methods of paragraph development like classifica
tion and giving examples.
IMPORTANCE of the topic: Cite the role that the topic plays in your life and the benefits
you derive from it.

REASONS for Choosing the topic: emphasized what motivated you to choose the
topic. PURPOSE of the Study: discusses the objective of the study.
2. Statement of the Problem

There should be a general statement of the whole problem followed by the specific
questions or sub problems into which the general problem is broken up.
3. Objectives of the Study

It is the statement version of the statement of the problem.

4. Conceptual Framework

It becomes the central theme, the focus, the main trust of the study. It serves as a
 guide conducting investigation. Paradigm is a diagrammatic representation of a concep
tual framework. It depicts I a more vivid way what the conceptual framework wants to
convey.
5. Hypothesis

Research hypothesis is usually developed from experience, literature, theory, or com

bination of these. This is the expected reasoning between variables.
Null Hypothesis is the one that states No relationship between variables. The function
is to let the research test the hypothesis statistically.

13
6. Scope and Limitation

The scope and limitation should include the following:

A brief statement of the general purpose of the study. The subject matter and topics dis
cussed. The locale of the study, where the data were gathered or the entity which the data
belong. The population or universe from which the respondents are selected. The period of
the study. This is the time, either months or years, during which the data were gathered. Lim
itation includes the weaknesses of the study beyond the control of the researcher. The
weaknesses spring out of the inaccuracies of the perceptions of the respondents.
7. Significance of the Study

The rationale, timeliness and/or relevance of the study. The rationale, timeliness and/or
relevance of the study to existing conditions must be explained or discussed. Possible solu
tions to existing problems or improvement to unsatisfactory conditions.

Who are to be benefited and how they are going to be benefited. It must be shown who
are the individuals, groups, or communities who may be placed in a more advanta geous
position on account of the study. Possible contribution to the fund of knowledge.

Possible implications. It should be discussed here that the implications include the possi
ble causes of the problems discovered, the possible effects of the problems, and the reme
dial measures to solve the problems.
8. Definition of Terms

Only terms, words, or phrases which have special or unique meanings in the study are
defined. Terms should be defined operationally, that is how they are used in the study. The
researcher may develop his own definition from the characteristics of the term defined.

Definitions may be taken from encyclopedias, books, magazines and newspaper arti
cles, dictionaries, and other publications but the researcher must acknowledge his sources.
Definitions should a be brief, clear, and unequivocal as possible. o Acronyms should always
be spelled out fully.
