Statement of the Problem

Write in this portion the problems you need to answer in your research, such as
the profile of the respondents and the matters you need to solve or find a solution.

The Statement of the problem becomes your guide on what you want to discover
in your study. For example, if you intend to find all the challenges that the grade 10
students face in doing their modules, your statement of the problem might be written like

this, “What are the challenges that students face in the modular modality in terms of
answering their modules?”.

This study aims to (title of your research)___________________________.

Specifically, this study will answer the following questions:

1. What is the profile of the respondents?

Conceptual Framework

This is the visual presentation of how the researchers view the whole research. Using a
graphic organizer, show the flow of the research. This diagram is called the Input Process
Output

Write inside the first box the input of the researchers such as the variables. Then on the
second box, write the processes that the research conducted to respond to the problem
statement. The last box contains the result that the researchers are expecting after the
process was done.

Scope and Limitation

This is the part where the researcher writes the scope and the limitations of research in
terms of the researcher’s capacity and the research’s target and boundary.

First Paragraph: Start the paragraph with the line “The scope of this study is” then
proceed on what is the general scope of the study. This is just the repetition of the general
statement of the problem followed by the specific objectives of the research.

Second Paragraph: This is the part that states the things that the research cannot do
because it is not the focus of the research. This may also state what are the related topics
but were not included because of the researcher’s limitations. The reasons for not
including these things will have to be explained. One reason that could be given is time
constraint, unavailability of technology, difficulty of collecting data (if the population is
large), and financial constraints.
