IDENTIFYING THE INQUIRY AND STATING
THE PROBLEM

Lesson 6: Stating the Significance of your

Research Study (pp46-52)
MOST ESSENTIAL LEARNING
COMPETENCY
The learners are expected to:
Presents written statement of
the problem
At the end of the lesson, the learners will be able to:
1. reflect on the importance of your research
investigation;
2. see how your research study will impact individuals
or group of people and even situation;
3. cite the benefits and the beneficiaries of your
research; and
4. write the draft discussion of the significance of your
study
What’s In (p46)

Before this lesson, you were asked to write your research

title, to describe the background of your research study,
and to formulate your research questions and hypothesis.
Now, you will be asked to cite the benefits and
beneficiaries of your research study. Before we proceed,
let us check first the progress of your research work.
Check the spaces describing your progress: Do this in
your notebook
____ I have my approved research title.
____ I have properly described the background of
my research study.
____ I have clearly stated my research problem.
____ I have a good set of research questions that
will help me attain the objectives of my research
study.
____ I have formulated my hypothesis (if
applicable
If you think you are not yet done
with any of those mentioned above,
you should try to finish them first
because they might be useful in the
coming activities under this lesson
What’s New (pp47-48)
Matching Type: You have here Column A
representing individuals, groups, or communities
and Column B for ideas that are somewhat related
to the terms in Column A. Choose from Column B
the best phrase that is logically connected to each
number in Column A. Write only the letter of your
answer before each number. Do this in your
notebook.
Based on the activity you did, how did you
come up with the answers that you had for all
of the numbers in Column A? Did you depend
on the keywords from
Column B that might be related to Column A?
Did you consider the thought or the meaning
of each of the phrases in Column B to
connect it to Column A
What is It
Just like determining the connections of certain
individuals to the phrases presented in the activity,
there are also things you need to determine and
consider in writing the significance of your
research study. The following discussion from
Regoniel (2015) will help you in achieving a better
manner of forming the significance
of your research.
Why Discuss the Significance of the Study in
your Manuscript?
It is critical to share the significance of the study so
that the reader will know and understand the worth
of your research. You can start with your general
purpose to specific purpose. For instance, give an
idea of how your research results or output
might help to improve society, practices, or
individuals.
By discussing the significance of your study, you will
be able to:
• show the benefits as well as the advantages of the
study’s possible results and outputs;
• explicitly share the possible contribution of your
study to society;
• justify why the study is important to the future
researchers; and
• specify how your research will create an impact to the
society.
In writing the importance or significance of the study, the
researcher or writer must explain the rationale, timeliness,
and relevance of the study to existing conditions. Also, the
possible solutions to existing problems or improvements
must be identified. It should also discuss the implications
such as the possible causes of the problems discovered,
the possible effects of the problems, and the remedial
measure to solve the problems. The good points of the
systems being continued or to be improved must be
included in this section.
Also, it must be shown who are the individuals,
groups, or communities who may be placed in a
more advantageous position on account of the
study.

The following are sample phrases that could help

express the importance of the study:
Researchers may find the findings useful as ……………
This study will encourage them to ……………
It will also serve as a basis in the study of …………
This study will contribute to …………
The study will provide ………..
This study can help boost ………..
Through this study, students will become aware of
……….
The results of this study will provide some insights and
information on how they…
What’s More
Now that you know the importance of discussing
the significance of your research, you will also
have other things to consider in sharing the
significance of
the study.

Two Tips in Writing the Significance of the Study

1. Refer to the Statement of the Problem.
2. Write from General to Specific Contribution
1. Refer to the Statement of the Problem.
• Your problem statement can guide you in identifying the specific
contribution of your study.
• You can do this by observing a one-to-one correspondence between
the statement of the problem and the significance of the study.
• For example, if you ask the question “Is there a significant
relationship between the teacher’s teaching style and the students’
long quiz scores in Mathematics?” then the contribution of your
research would probably be a teaching style or styles (among say,
three teaching styles you evaluated) that can help students perform
better in Mathematics. Your research will demonstrate that teaching
style works. That could be a groundbreaking approach that will
change the way teachers teach Mathematics which many students
abhor.
2. Write from General to Specific Contribution.
• Write the significance of the study by looking into the general
contribution of your study, such as its importance to society as a
whole, then proceed downwards—towards its contribution to
individuals and that may include yourself as a researcher.
• You start broadly then taper off gradually to a specific group or
person.
• Coupled with the problem statement, this effectively stimulates the
mind to think in a deductive mode, i.e., from general to specific.
• This writing approach is similar to the Inverted Pyramid Approach
(CARS Model) discussed in How to Write a Good Thesis Introduction
For example, in the study on
teaching style given in #1, you
may write:
These two techniques will prevent your mind
from wandering wildly or aimlessly as you
explore the significance of your study.
Applying them will save time thus allow you
to focus on the next section of your thesis.
Who knows, this section may also help justify
why your study deserves a grant.
Points to Ponder in Writing the Significance of Your Research Study Ask the
following to fine-tune your discussion of the significance of your study:
• Why is this research study important?
• What are the positive implications of the findings of my study?
• How does my study link to another knowledge?
• How does my study stand to inform or influence policymaking?
• What new perspective will my study introduce to the subject?
• What benefits my study might have for others in the subject area or to the
public?
• How is my study expected to resolve lingering questions or gaps in knowledge in
your field of study?
• How is my study expected to develop better theoretical models in your specialty?
• How will my study change the way people do their jobs in a particular field or
may improve the way people live?
