THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND

Introduction

A good Introduction follows an inverted pyramid of writing the

background of the study. The first paragraph defines the issue/ problem/

subject of the study. The first paragraph also contains the global or broad

perspective. You can cite authors or situations from the different published

sources. Do not forget to write the author and the date the material was

published by enclosing them inside the parenthesis (Dela Cruz, 2010). If you

don’t want to use the parenthesis to cite the source, you may also directly

state the source. Example, “According to Dela Cruz in 2010,…or According

to Dela Cruz (2010)”.

The next section contains the international and local perspective of

your research. Begin with a phrase or sentence that will maintain the

coherence of your composition. Example, In the Philippines”. The following

paragraph(s) contain/s the local perspective of your research. You may

narrow down from the national perspective in the second paragraph, to

regional, then provincial, lastly to your specific locale. Example, “In the

Municipality of San Francisco, one of the municipalities of Caraga,… or In

Agusan del Sur National High School, one of the secondary schools in

Agusan del Sur,… ”.

For this paragraph, talk about the gap in which your research wishes

to address. Cite studies, figures, statistics that identifies your research

questions. Use data from reliable news articles, surveys.

Wrapping all the situations from global, national, and local

perspectives, state the necessity of conducting your research. Make sure that

the reader will be convinced on the importance of your research by the well-

established prepositions in the first, second, and third paragraphs. You may

also add paragraphs, but always make sure that the last paragraph is for the

importance of conducting the study in your chosen locale.

Theoretical Framework

Next page after the diagram is the paragraph which discusses your

own concept. Remember that the Conceptual Framework is the blueprint of

your study. Explain each variable of your diagram or figure, including some

important processes that you will involve. Also include how the variables

interplay with each other. You may use polygons and/or arrows for your

diagram. The diagram is usually “Figure 1” in your study. You may begin

with, “The figure above shows”.

Statement of the Problem

Begin by stating the main or general objective (in declarative form) of the

study in one to two sentences followed by the specific problems (in

interrogative form). Make sure that your specific problems are specific,

measurable, attainable, realistic, and time-bounded. Example of main

objective, “This study aims to develop a research manual that will be the

2. Specific Problem 1

Scope and Limitation of the Study

This section discusses the perimeter of the study such as the time

frame, place where the study will be conducted, the variables involved, and

limitations. The first paragraph should discuss about the 3Ws, starting with:

where the study will be conducted; then what is the timeframe; and who are

the people involved or subject of interest.

The second paragraph begins with main objective of the study and the

variables under study to attain the research objective. After enumerating the

variables, emphasize that other factor that may intervene the results are not

under study. Example “Other factors not stated in this section are beyond the

scope of this study”.

formatting as mentioned above but the term should be italicized. If definition

is long, the proceeding lines should be indented once to emphasize the term

being defined.

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

Related Literature

Texts gathered from varied sources should not be copied directly to

avoid plagiarism. They should be rephrased and sources should be labeled

based on the APA 6th edition format. (Dela Cruz, 2018)

“If there are statements or direct quotation that you want to include in

your Chapter 2, do not revise the statement. Instead, write it directly in an

inclosing quotation mark, and indent the entire statement. After the

statement, write the source.” (Makiling, 2018)
