Other Things to accomplish aside from the FOUR (4) chapters:

1. Acknowledgement – one of the preliminary parts of a research paper in which the researchers
state their appreciation to all the people who helped and contributed something in the research
that they have conducted.
2. Abstract – Comprehensive summary of the whole research. Should include the problem, the
objectives and purposes stated in the research, methods, results, and findings. It should be no
longer than 250 words (150-250 words)
3. Table of Contents – an ORGANIZED list of all the chapters and major parts of the research with
their page numbers.
4. APPENDICES – in Practical Research 1, Appendices contain attachments that are important in the
research but should not be included in the chapters --- Consent forms, Validation Letters,
Curriculum Vitae, and the documentation of the interview/ data gathering.
REMEMBER: THE GROUP WILL ONLY DO THESE PARTS ONCE THE RESEARCH HAS BEEN APPROVED OR
ONCE THE FINAL DEFENSE HAS BEEN SUCCEFULLY DONE.
SAMPLES WILL BE GIVEN AFTER THE DEFENSE (IF YOUR PAPER WILL BE SUCCESSFULLY DEFENDED)

FOR THE FINAL DEFENSE, your group needs two things --- Word copy of the document and the group’s
PowerPoint Presentation.
THINGS NEEDED FOR THE WORD COPY:
1. Correct Title Page
2. Complete Chapter One
3. Complete Chapter Two
4. Complete Chapter Three
5. Complete Chapter Four
For the PowerPoint
Put all the parts, but just the main points --- slides should at least have 7 to 10 lines besides the upper
part/title part at the top.

POSSIBLE QUESTIONS:
1. SOMETHING ABOUT THE RESEARCH OBJECTIVES
 2. SOMETHING ABOUT THE PROBLEM RELATED TO THE RESEARCH THAT YOU WANT TO SOLVE
3. CONNECTION OF ALL THE PARTS OF THE RESEARCH
4. PURPOSE OF THE STUDY
5. THE REASON WHY YOU CHOSE THE LOCALE AND THE RESPONDENTS INCLUDING THE NUMBER
OF THE RESPONDENTS
6. THE SUPPORTING ARTICLES OR THEORIES TO THE GENERAL AND SPECIFIC PROBLEM
Those are just the questions that might be asked, unless the paper needs improvement then you will be
asked by a lot of questions. Study everything and not just your parts, especially the connection of every
part to one another.
