 Abstract
(The abstract concisely discusses the essential aspects of your paper such as background of the
problem, objectives, significance, research design, data collection technique, data analysis method,
discussion of the findings, scope, conclusion among others. Giving 150–250-word discussions of salient
parts of the research paper, your abstract suffices as the summary of your research report Since an
abstract explains in a nutshell all essential components of the research paper, it usually comes to its
written form only after the final stage of the research work.)

 CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION

Background of the Study

(In the introduction, you should first give a background on what research has do far been done on your
topic. Begin with general information about your research area and the gradually narrow it down to
provide more specific information. Finally get down to your topic and give an idea of what research has
been done on this topic and what is missing. This is the "gap in research" that your study will address.
Then explain what specifically you are going to do to address this gap.

This part explains the background of the research problem, states a set of specific research questions,
and of optional hypotheses or assumptions. The purpose of this section is to let the readers see the
connection of the purposes of your research questions not only with the current world condition, but also
with theoretical principles that underlie your topic and other aspects of your research.)
Statement of the Problem
( A research problem statement is a clear, concise, and specific statement that describes the issue or
problem that the research project addresses. It should be written in a way that is easily understandable to
both experts and non-experts in the field.)

This study aims to _____________________goal/objective___________ +

respondents__________+ place of study _______________+ year to be conducted.

Further, this study seeks answers to the following:

1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Scope and Delimitation
(The section where you define the broader parameters and boundaries of your research. The scope
details what your study will explore, such as the target population, extent, or study duration. Delimitations
are factors and variables not included in the study.)

 The scope and limitation may each be presented in one paragraph

 The scope discusses the inclusions and coverage of your study including locale and respondents
 The limitation are exclusions from the study that were beyond the control of the researcher

Note: The term “Delimitations” is used when exclusion of the study were made and decided by the
researcher due to justifiable reasons.
Significance of the Study
(The contribution/s to and impact of the study on a research field. The significance also signals who
benefits from the research findings and how.-beneficiaries such as future researchers, students, group of
teachers, government agencies, online sellers, education, etc.)
Review of Related Literature

(In academic research, particularly in fields such as social sciences, education, and humanities, the RRL
section is a critical component of a research paper or thesis. It provides a comprehensive review of
existing literature and studies relevant to the topic being investigated.)

Research Methodology

(Research methodology refers to the systematic process or framework that guides the design,
implementation, and analysis of a research study. It encompasses the strategies, techniques, and
procedures used by researchers to collect and analyze data in order to address their research questions
or objectives. A well-defined research methodology ensures that the study is conducted rigorously,
ethically, and effectively.)

Definition of Terms
(Also known as Operational Definition – How it was used in the study, should start with an introductory
statement, all variables in the research title should be reflected in the definition of terms, other technical
terms pertinent and repeatedly used in the research should be included, the terms are operational-not
conceptual or lexical, arranged alphabetically, recommendatory at least 5 to 8 terms, bold, 1-2 sentences,
ended by a period)
