What’s New
Let’s Read!

Have you ever felt that life seems to be unfair? Now that we are faced with very
challenging times, our journey towards success and better life seems to be tightened. With all
the social issues concerning us, it is challenging to live. According to Philippine News Agency
(PNA) report in October, 2019, based on the latest report of the World Bank, poverty in the
Philippines is projected to be at 18.7% in 2021. (https://www.pna.gov.ph/articles/1083509). The
article that you are about to read talks about the gap between the rich and the poor.

Directions: Read the article and ponder on some details to answer the guide questions.

 Narrowed and Widened
By Marceliza S. Aldana

Though there are many laws have been passed to protect the rights of the laborers in
the Philippines, this sector is still faced with a lot of issues concerning unfair labor practices.
Despite of the significant contributions in our economy, the road towards a decent life for
laborers especially the farmers has been narrowed and the gap between the rich and the poor
has been widened.
Child labor, discrimination, physical abuse, unfair salary, and others are just some labor
practices that still exist in the face of all the approved provisions mandated by the law in favor
of the labor sector. These problems of the workers are also dependent on deeper social
concerns like a bad political
system and oligarchy from
which their sufferings can be
rooted. It is unfortunate that
our farmers who provide
staple food do not even have
enough food on their own
table, yet they provide for the
whole country. In the capitalist
society that we have, workers
have to endure all the pains
and hardships of being a
laborer. The work itself is
already tedious, so how do
you expect them to be happy
if they are deprived of liberty
and better life.
These issues concerning the labor sector are perennial and have been present long
before. In reality and by nature, a society is composed of poor and rich people. Some people
are inevitably blessed while some are less fortunate. But it should not be seen and stay that
way. There must be a solution to make things better for everybody. How can we narrow the
gap in between and widen the opportunities for the less? There is no absolute equality but there
is fairness. The law of fairness is not about having equal parts but having what is needed to be
filled. Some may receive more while others may receive less is not tantamount to inequality.
Give what is due may it mean less or more to show fairness.
Would there be a glimpse of hope to look forward to? It’s hard to see, unless time will
come when the minds and hearts of those who are in power are not embedded anymore with
greediness and when the political system in the Philippines is not lodged by abused authorities,
there is a greater chance that things may turn around for the workers.
By conscience, we have to be fair and treat one another as brothers. And like brothers,
we live each day thinking of one another. God has promised a good life to be bestowed to all
of His children. So, let it be.
Let the light of hope reach the dark places and be seen by the workers. They deserve
a fair share of life. That beyond this desperate situation of the workers, there is a silver lining
ahead of them. A law loses its value if not applied and implemented rightfully. Let the law
works on its purpose and is served accordingly. Every human being has to live and let live. So,
let the workers live, and let’s keep them alive.

Guide Questions:
1. What is the article all about?
2. Who is responsible for the bad situations of some laborers?
3. Why do these unfair labor practices still exist?
4. According to the article, how should we live and treat one another?
5. As a student, how can you help our laborers to have a decent life?

Notes to the Teacher

This module contains activities that encourage critical and logical thinking that will
enhance social awareness. The activities encourage students to be socially aware and be part
of the solution to the problem by writing a research report. We hope that this module is
sufficient enough for their learning. Kindly assist the students with the instructions if needed.

What is It

Composing a Research Report on a

Relevant Social Issue

Research report serves as preparatory for writing research paper. For you to be able
to write a research paper you have to learn first how to write a research report. It does not only
improve writing skills but also reading skills. As you gather data and review literature related to
your research problem, you gain knowledge and your reasoning skills are developed. Hence,
by doing so, it enables you to understand issues that are complex and even find solutions to
the problems. Being socially aware is significant in every study.

Since the research report is an in-depth study, it involves systematic analysis,

interpretations, and arguments significant to study. But writing a research report is not easy. It
requires knowledge on how to write it. For the research to become credible and reliable, it must
be handled properly, since it is a comprehensive study, it requires strong knowledge about the
topic, detailed and specific data to prove hypotheses or assumptions, and useful and reliable
conclusions and recommendations. Skills in English are also needed, and deeper analysis
should be presented.

To help you write a good research report, here are some guidelines or tips for writing.

GUIDELINES IN WRITING A RESEARCH REPORT

1. Choose a research paper topic

There are lots of interesting topics to choose from. List down anything relevant that could
be interesting. List as many as you can then narrow it down until you come up with your final
choice. You may get some ideas or be inspired by other research but the best way is to do
brainstorming with fellow students and ask for help from your teacher. As a high school student,
subjects related to teen issues like drug addiction, teenage pregnancy, cyberbullying, etc. can
be a good topic.

5
 How do we narrow down research topics? Below are the common ways to narrow it
down:

By demographic characteristics
Identify the age group, occupation, ethnic group, gender, etc.
e.g. challenges faced by Grade 9 students on online distance learning
By relevant issues
Identify key issues related to your topic. If your topic is about the new normal in
education, think of related issues.
e.g. challenges faced by Grade 9 students of Guiguinto National Vocational High School
who have no access to internet for online distance learning
By location
Focus on a specific country, province, city, or type of environment.
e.g. challenges faced by Grade 9 students of Guiguinto National Vocational High
School who have no access to internet for online distance learning
By timeframe
Decide for the specific period of time you want for your study. This will help you
also for what kind of information will be needed for the study.
e.g. challenges faced by Grade 9 students of Guiguinto National Vocational High School
who have no access to internet for online distance learning during COVID 19 period
By causes
You may also use the cause perspective for your research.
e.g. Why do Grade 9 students of Guiguinto National Vocational High School who have
no access to internet for online distance learning during COVID 19 period have difficulty
in learning?

2. Conduct initial research

Now that you have decided on your topic, conduct initial research that may help you to
gain more ideas may they be similar to you or contrary to what you already know. By this, it
enables you to verify the ideas you have in your mind. Look for sources like books, articles, and
other research materials to know everything that is needed for your research report.

There are lots of sources that you may use for your research. Primary sources will give
you firsthand information coming from those people who have direct experience from that event.
Examples of primary sources are diaries, artifacts, interviews, internet communications, survey
research, etc. Secondary sources include textbook, reference books, encyclopedia,
dictionaries, histories, etc. It gives you findings, analysis, and evaluations of other researcher’s
works. In short, the writer doesn’t have direct knowledge or experience of an event.

A good example of this is a poem itself which is considered as primary source while a
literary or poem analysis in particular is secondary source.

Make a list of things that you want to know or verify for you not to miss important details.
Here you are going to review some literature related to your topics. You may use the following
tips on how to review literature:

6
 1. Search for literature

You have to search for literature systematically. Carefully search for all literature
related and conducive on your study like books, articles, dissertations, conferences and
reviews. Aside from searching for literature that agrees with your arguments or positions
you may also search for items that are contrary to what you believe in for verification
purposes.

2. Read thoroughly and evaluate the articles carefully.

As you analyze the articles consider their findings that are similar and contrast,
the methodology used, the trend, and influential theories. You may find data that will
prove your arguments.
3. Organize the selected papers or articles
Look for the patterns then develops subtopics. Take note of the findings,
trends and theories that may serve as your guide and proof.
4. Write the review
Remember the guidelines in a well-written paragraph. Make sure to follow the
logical order of your ideas from the main heading to sub headings and use appropriate
transitions to have a smooth flow of ideas. Arrange the information by sections and by
themes and not by researchers.
5. Read again the review
Read again your review on literature and make sure that it is free from
grammatical errors, wrong sentence structures and plagiarism. Don’t forget to cite
references. Check the organization of thoughts and presentations of different
arguments.

3. Develop a thesis statement

A thesis statement is a statement of your research problem or the title. It establishes the
main idea of the research problem. In writing a thesis statement, it has to be concise, coherent,
and relevant. —in short, it should summarize your argument in a sentence or two. A good thesis
statement states only one main idea to avoid confusion

It is really hard to write a title, you may experience changing your thesis statement from
time to time as you dig deeper into your research. But having a title will serve as your guide in
your writing.

Examples:

An Analysis on the Impact of Social Media in Communication in this Millennial Period as

Perceived by Grade 9 Students of Guiguinto National Vocational High School

An Analysis on the Relationship between Academic Performance and Students Behavioral

Shortcomings of Grade 9 Students of Guiguinto National Vocational High School During
COVID 19 Period.

4. Create a research report outline

A research report outline will help you see what you expect to do and how and what the
report/paper will look like. It will guide you in the writing process. It serves as a plan that will
make the work easier.

5. Write a draft of the research paper

Write freely in your draft. It would not be perfect but you can polish it later. Writing a
draft is like writing all the ideas you have in your mind then after writing everything you may now
have time to organize your thoughts, discard irrelevant ideas and free the writing from
grammatical errors. Having a draft will help you sort and state your ideas clearly. Use your
created outline as a map while you work.

Note: Don’t forget to cite your sources to avoid plagiarism.

6. Write the introduction

The research report introduction is like an appetizer to which it has to catch the interest of
your reader. It is the summary of your research. You give an overview of what your research
report is all about and what is to be expected by the reader. Present your topic, state the purpose
and importance of your paper, and support your position with essential details. Remember, you
have to make a good impression to get the interest of your readers.

7. Write a compelling body of text

Organization of thoughts is very important. Make sure to present the position or argument
in a manner that the reader will be informed and convinced with what you say. Meaning, you
have to write ideas that are relevant and credible. Be careful with the transitions of your ideas.
Let your ideas flow smoothly.

8
8. State your methodology

It includes what you did and how you do it. To convince your reader with your arguments,
you have to support them with data that will prove your point. In the methodology section, you
have to state the method you used and why it is the best approach. Credibility and reliability
are at stake so be careful in this section and in the analysis of your data.

9. Write the conclusion

The research report conclusion is the final section of your paper. There should be a
sense of finality. Your conclusion should be on point and do not open new arguments that will
confuse your readers. Make sure that in your conclusion the problem is solved or settled and
avoid ending your paper with phrases like “in conclusion”.

10. The revision process

After completing your writing, you have to read again your work and make some
revisions. This is the final stage in which you filter your report with unnecessary information.
Check if you have completed the details needed. Ensure the content of every paragraph and
its logical order. Make sure that you proofread your work from spelling, capitalization,
punctuation marks, fluency and should be free from grammatical errors. After the final revision,
your report is now ready for submission.

So there you have it! May these guidelines help you as you prepare to work on your
research report that your teacher will ask you to do. Just be reminded by these tips for sure
you will never go wrong. So good luck in your writing and enjoy the tasks.

To help you more with the writing process, below are some activities essential for your
writing competency.
