Lesson Objectives

offering thorough analysis, evaluation, or
interpretation based on empirical evidence.
 Importance of Research

 Parts of Research Paper

TITLE / COVER PAGE

The title/cover page is the first page of the paper and typically
includes the paper's title, the author's name, address, phone
number, e-mail, and the date of submission. It serves as a quick
reference for readers who want to know more about the author
and the content of the paper.
 Abstract
The abstract is a summary of the paper's content and
main findings. Generally, abstracts are between 1 00 and
300 words and never more than one page long. The
abstract should describe the main theme of the paper,
including the research question posed, its significance,
the methodology used, and the main results or findings.
It is important to note that footnotes or cited works are
never listed in an abstract.
 Introduction
Start by clearly stating the main research problem
and thesis argument, including what you will be
studying and why it is important. Additionally,
discuss the originality of your research and whether it
fills a gap in existing studies. Avoid providing lengthy
justifications for your topic before it has been
explicitly stated.
 Limitation of the Study
In the limitations of study section, you should indicate
what you intend to do and what you won't attempt.
You may limit the scope of your paper by any number
of factors, such as time, personnel, gender, age,
geographic location, nationality, and so on
 Methodology

• Did you use qualitative or quantitative research

methods?
• Conduct a questionnaire or interviews?
• Any field research conducted?
• How did you collect data?
• Did you utilize other libraries or archives?
• Your methodology should be explained in detail.
 Literature Review

The literature review section should contain a discussion or

review of what is known about the subject, including how
that knowledge was acquired. Once you provide the general
and specific context of the existing knowledge, you can then
build on others' research.
 Results and Discussion
The results and discussions are generally the longest
part of the paper. This is where you support your thesis
and build the argument. It contains most of the
citations and analysis. The section should focus on a
rational development of the thesis with clear
reasoning and solid argumentation at all points. A
clear focus, avoiding meaningless digressions, provides
the essential unity that characterizes a strong
education paper.
 Conclusion
In the conclusion section, you should bring
everything together and underscore what it all
means. A stimulating and informative conclusion
leaves the reader informed and well-satisfied. A
conclusion that makes sense, when read
independently from the rest of the paper, will win
praise
 Works Cited/Bibliography
Preparing a proper reference list is one of the most
tedious aspects of finalizing a manuscript for
publication. The works cited/bibliography section
should list all citations in the text and only those. The
references section and text citations should match
perfectly.
 Appendices

An appendix contains material that is appropriate for

enlarging the reader's understanding but does not fit well
into the main body of the paper. Such material might
include tables, charts, summaries, questionnaires,
interview questions, lengthy statistics, maps, pictures,
photographs, lists of terms, glossaries, survey instruments,
letters, copies of historical documents, and many other
types of supplementary material.
