INTRODUCTION

Background of the Study

In writing your background of the study, there should only be 2 paragraphs

containing these elements:

Research Territory. This term is borrowed from Swales (1990) in his CARS

(Creating a Research Space) Model in Writing Research Introductions. The “territory”

refers to the situation or the extent of the problem years ago, current state of the

problem, previous researches about the same topic as yours. Establish your territory in

the first paragraph of your introduction, with supporting citation of the existence of the

problem in global, national, and local setting. At least, 5-6 sentences.

Research Gap. This is the last part of the background in which you will state

what lacks in the previous researches of the same topic (as yours) that has not yet been

explored or under-explored, that your research paper attempts to resolve.

Statement of the Problem

This is the part of your introduction in which you will state your main goal or

intention in conducting this study. Include at least 2-3 descriptive questions and 1-2

inferential questions related to your research problem.

Hypotheses
 Your hypothesis is the prediction you are assuming in the study. The number of

hypotheses you will formulate depends on the number of your inferential questions in

the Statement of the Problem. If you only have 1 inferential question, then, you have to

write 2 hypotheses: 1 null and 1 alternative hypotheses. If you have 2 inferential

questions, then, you have to write 4 hypotheses: 2 null and 2 alternative hypotheses. In

writing your hypotheses, please make sure to follow the sample given.

Theoretical Framework

This cites the theory/theories on which the study is premised based on theories

of authors in order to establish the relationship among the variable/s in the study. It is

the researcher`s task to operationalize the concepts and usually a scheme can make

the theory easier to understand. In addition, this is crafted from existing theories that

serves as a foundation of the study. The study can adopt the original model used by

the cited theory proponent however the researcher can modify or adjust the variables

of the original framework to better suit the study provided that the whole theory is

utilized.

Usually, researchers use 2-3 theories for their study. To construct the theoretical

framework, there is little to no need to create a schematic diagram of the arrangement

of the theories in as much as the study is concerned.  Instead, there are four (4)

important components to include in the discussion:

1. The introduction of the theories

2. The definition/nature of the theory (include the theory’s author and date of

publishing)
 3. The explanation of the theory

4. The relevance of the theory to your study

Each theory shall be discussed separately, observing components 3 and 4.

Conceptual Framework

In this section, present the framework first, followed by a 1-paragraph

explanation of what the conceptual framework is.

Scope and Delimitations

In writing your scope and delimitations, the following items should be present in

one paragraph:

 Respondents. Refers to the characteristics of participants who are qualified

to participate in the study

 Location. Refers to the place where the study will be conducted

 Phenomenon. Refers to the problem in focus

 Time frame of the study. Refers to the period of days, weeks, months, etc.

within which the research is conducted.

Significance of the Study

The significance of the study indicates the beneficiaries of the study. You have to

cite who are the target beneficiaries and in what way the study would be able to help

and benefit them. These could be the group of people, individuals or organization as a

whole. By mentioning the benefits that may be derive from the completion of your study,

it would help in convincing your panel, funding agencies, organizations and individuals
to approve your study. In this section, cite at least 3-4 individuals/organizations/groups

that would significantly benefit from your study.

Definition of Terms

Define OPERATIONALLY the terms are present in your research title (the main

variables, etc.).
