CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
Begin by giving a general overview of your thesis topic and introduce the main ideas of your
thesis. It works on the principle of introducing the topic and setting it in a broader context, gradually
narrowing the topic down to a thesis statement - which states what you want your paper to show,
what you want to convince your readers after having read your thesis. You can also show how many
people are impacted or affected by the problem. You can use figures to show the magnitude of the
problem, how bad the consequences of the problem are and how does the problem affect the business
world. You can also inform the readers about the rationale behind the work, and justifying why your
work is essential in the field.
This section presents how your research benefits or impacts others in part or whole. Discuss what
people or groups of people might benefit from reading your research.
This section presents the coverage of the study. The scope identifies the boundaries of the study
in term of subjects, objectives, facilities, area, time frame, and the issues to which the research is
focused, while delimitation presents the limits of the study by geographic location, age, sex, population
This section presents the conceptual and operation definitions of terms to guide the readers with clarity
of meanings to avoid misunderstanding.

CHAPTER 2
This chapter presents information relative to the topic under study. Relevant findings and
conclusions from various investigations are presented to which the present study is related.
This section defines and clarifies essential concepts of your study. Literature may be used here
to support your concepts like as defined by, according to, and other related phrases that may be
applicable.
This is a level 3 section heading. The Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics
(STEM) strand is designed for students who desire to pursue college degrees focusing on Science,
Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (Pilande & Carlobos, 2021).
This is a level 4 section heading. According Soliva and Fornillos (2020), STEM strand
provides preparation for students in using science, math, engineering, and technology to solve reallife
problems and advance national development.

METHODOLOGY
This chapter discusses the methods used to answer the research questions of the study which
includes the research design, setting, participants, sampling techniques and data collection methods;
and describes how data collected from the research was treated and analyzed. XXXXXXX
Research Design
This present study is a phenomenological qualitative research because this study aims to
discover the shared and lived-experiences of the people involved in a certain phenomenon. It focuses
on the subjective experiences of the people who have experienced such phenomenon of which this
design is best suited to understand and capture its essence or structure. XXXXXXXX XXXXX XXXX
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX. The above text is just a guide.
Research setting
Since the focus of this study is mainly on meaning-making, and the researcher studies the
participants in their natural setting. The research setting which includes its physical, social, and cultural
site in which the researcher conducts the study is at XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXX Describe the setting. The above text is just a
guide.
Research Participants
Due to a large number of the target participants who are employees of a certain XYZ hotel, the
researchers decided to bring the population to a manageable number but capable of representing the
entire population. Thus, the researchers adopted a probability sampling technique, which is random
sampling, to remove bias and give all prospective participants an equal chance of participation in the
selection process. After the sampling, 12 employees were selected randomly. XXXXXX XXXX
XXXXX XXXXX XXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXX Describe the characteristics of the participants
further. This is just a guide.

A multi-strategy approach called triangulation is used to collect data so that findings may be
cross-checked. These data-collection methods include interview, observation, documents, or survey
through questionnaires. The researchers believe that using this approach, better and more reliable
results will be achieved. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXX
