BRIEF EXPLANATION OF THE CONTENT STANDARD OF
QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH FORMAT
Research Background
In this section, you begin your presentation by explaining the gap between
expectations and reality in the field of education you are studying, both theoretical
and practical gaps underlying the problem(s) under study. As part of your supporting
ideas, you should also briefly describe the related theory, previous research findings,
conclusions and discussion of scientific seminars, or even your own
experience(s)/personal observations, which should closely link to the subject-matter
being studied. This will clarify your reasons for doing the research; and such reasons
need to be stated in a clear statement. So that, the selected problem(s) for
investigation, get(s) a solid platform.
Research Question
The formulation of the problem is an attempt to state explicitly the questions you
want to resolve. It is a complete and detailed statement about the scope of the
problem to be investigated. It is prepared in brief, with solidity and clarity. A good
formulation of the problem will reveal the variables (problems) to be studied, the
type or nature of the relationship between these variables, and the subjects.
Furthermore, the formulation of the problem(s) can be tested empirically, in the
sense that data collection can be made to answer the questions or hypothesis put
forward. On the basis of the aforementioned statement of problem(s), the author then
formulates the research questions, which may be written in several forms, amongst
others: (a) in the form of a single question and (b) in the form of general questions
followed by specific questions.
Research Objective(s)
The purpose of research should be related to the status of the research problem(s), i.e.
research questions. The purpose of study is the sentence which indicates the
existence of something to be obtained after the research is conducted. The content
and formulation of research objectives refer to the content and formulation of the
research problems/questions. The difference lies in the way that you formulate them.
Research problems are formulated using squib sentences, while the research
objectives are stated in the form of statements. The number of items of research
objectives should be adjusted to the number of items of research questions.
Research Significance
This section contains the reasons of feasibility of the problem being studied, or the
importance of research, especially for the development of science or practical
knowledge (e.g. for teachers, students, education practitioners, etc.) or
implementation of development in a broader sense.
11
Research Scope
A study can be more manageable if there are restrictions in the scope of objectives.
Restrictions can be made by limiting the scope of study area. For example: Your
research is concerned with the use of Cooperative Learning Approach (e.g. Think-
Pair-Share method) in teaching reading skills. In the study of reading, there are many
types of reading (e.g. descriptive, narrative, procedural, report, newsitems, etc.).
Therefore, limit your study to one specific type of reading, for example - the
procedural type of reading. Another example is a research that is concerned with the
application of Contextual Teaching and Learning approach or Communicative
Approach in teaching speaking skills for junior high school students. If you look at
the curriculum of junior high school (ref. VII.1, 3.3; VII.2; 9.2), you will find many
speech acts such as ‘requesting and providing information’, ‘thanking’,
‘apologizing’, ‘expressing politeness’, requesting and giving opinions’, ‘stating likes
and dislikes’, requests for clarification’, responding interpersonally, etc. Out of these
speech acts, you may select or limit your research to only two or three speech acts for
your research focus, depending on the logical reasons suggested by your
supervisor(s).
Theoretical Orientation
The theoretical basis for your skripsi should be derived (extracted) from a literature
review, particularly the theory that relates directly to the problems examined. You
are required to explain the results of the theoretical studies presented in your skripsi
(review of the literature). You must read and review the theory(s) to determine your
theoretical framework or theoretical basis for your study. The keywords in the title of
your proposal will lead you to find related sources of literature. In other words, you
must review literature that is related to the topic of your research. The foundation of
the theory is a set of theories (especially those related to the variable(s) or object(s)
of your research and methods) that you have chosen as a guide to conduct your
research. This theory is also used to formulate the hypotheses (particularly in
quantitative research), or hypothetical action (in the classroom action research). The
materials to complete this section can be obtained from various sources including
academic journals, conference proceedings, dissertations, theses, research reports,
textbooks, papers, seminar reports, newspaper articles, internet articles, scientific
discussions, and official publications of government bodies and other institutions.
Research Hypothesis
The Research Hypothesis is a brief statement that is postulated from the basic theory
or literature review. The hypothesis is a tentative answer to the issues discussed. The
“Hypothesis” is the "theoretical conclusion" (result of the theoretical reflection) that
still needs to be tested against empirical reality. Because the truth of hypothesis still
needs to be tested, then the content of hypothesis must be testable so they can be
confirmed. The written hypothesis needs to meet the following requirements:
1. The hypothesis must be formulated in a short but clear statement;
2. The hypothesis must demonstrate the relationship between two or more
variables;
12
3. The hypothesis must be supported by theory/ies put forward by experts or
related research (listed in the basic theory or literature review).
Research Method
In this section, you need to discuss the kind and nature of quantitative research
method you will use. Explanations concern with the reasons of why you will use that
particular kind of method. Your reasons must indicate the relevance to your research
title and method(s). Here, you need to put forward the foundation, source or
reference that explains such reasons. Remember! If you use a certain method, viz.
descriptive quantitative method, you must be consistent with the type of data, data
collection techniques and tools, and techniques of data analysis, all of which lead to
the quantitative research. The content of this section also includes research design,
research variables, data and source of data.
Research Instrument
In this section, you suggest the instrument to be used to collect his/her research data.
The instrument(s) used shall be in accordance with the design, method, or research
approach used. In addition, you must also explain the procedure of instrument
development or selection of equipments and materials used in your research. For
example, if the instrument to be used is "written test", then describe the components
or variables that might be tested, so that, data analysis can be performed more
accurately and in accordance with the type of data.
13
Techniques of Data Collection
In this section, you should indicate (a) the conformation data collection method(s)
and the instruments used, as well as the reasons for their use; (b) clearly and briefly
set out the steps and procedures applied during the experimental (treatment) process
(details can be delineated in experimental procedure for example in the lesson plan,
and (c) the time schedule for implementation of data collection.
