a) Problem/Objectives,
b) Hypotheses/Assumptions,
c) Theoretical/Conceptual Framework,
d) Research Design/Methodology,
e) Data Collection,
f) Data Processing and Statistical Treatment,
g) Analysis and Interpretation, and

 COMPONENTS OF A RESEARCH PAPER

Review of Related Literature and Studies

 To gain insights into the aspects of the problem

that are critical, controversial, and relevant to the
study.
 These are comprehensive classification and
evaluation of what others have written relevant to
your topic.
 COMPONENTS OF A RESEARCH PAPER

Theoretical/Conceptual Framework

 System of ideas intended to explain a specific

phenomenon.
 Basis for describing properly the relationships of
variables to be used in the study.
 COMPONENTS OF A RESEARCH PAPER

Research Design

 Decide the definite research instrument for

collecting data and these data are processed
either manually or by machine, whichever is more
convenient, economical and accurate.
 COMPONENTS OF A RESEARCH PAPER

Tools
 To scientifically and logically analyze data and
observations to yield organized data based the
hypotheses and/or assumption (depending on the
type of research design employed).
 Used to test the hypothesis of the study.

5. Scope and Delimitation of the Study
6. Significance of the Study
7. Definition of Terms
1. Introduction of the Research Study

 Pinpoints the essence of pursuing the study and

provide an overview of the study.
 It sets the stage for the entire project.
 This part establishes a framework for the research,
so that readers can understand how it is related to
other research.
1. Introduction of the Research Study

 The introduction establishes the issue or concern

leading to the research by conveying information
about a problem.
 It needs to create the reader’s interest in the topic,
establish the problem that leads to the study, place
the study within the larger context of the scholarly
literature, and reach out to a specific audience.
2. Theoretical/ Conceptual Framework

 The researcher explains the theory and/or the

concepts that guided the study. Concepts from
authorities and theories of notable educators/
philosophers are used in the discussion.
2. Theoretical/ Conceptual Framework

The following guidelines are used in evaluating the

theoretical/conceptual framework:
1. Does it identify the variables under study?
2. Does it identify the theory and concepts relevant to
the study?
3. Does it show the relationship of the variables and
the theory/concepts used in the study?
3. Statement of the Problem

 This section concentrates on the issue/ problem that

the research intends to investigate.
 This usually bears the title of his/her thesis or
repeats exactly his/her main objective in conducting
the study.
3. Statement of the Problem

Guidelines in evaluating statement of the problem:

 Is the problem relevant to the needs of society and
significant enough to add to the existing knowledge?
 Is the problem testable, that is, is it possible to collect
data to answer the questions asked?
 Are the sub-problems completely researchable units?
4. Hypothesis of the Study

 Research hypothesis are predictions the researcher

makes about the expected outcomes of
relationships among variables. There are two forms:
(a) null and (b) alternative .
5. Scope and Delimitation of the Study

 Launches the limits of the process in which your

study will be conducted.
 Determining the scope of the study will declare the
feasibility of doing an investigation and set
applicability of the findings.
5. Scope and Delimitation of the Study

 This part of the study identifies the variables of the

study which the researcher wishes to control or limit
in order to delimit the broad coverage of the study,
thereby permitting a thorough and a more in-depth
investigation or discussion of the problem.
5. Scope and Delimitation of the Study

 The researcher discusses the variables, number of

participants, place of data gathering, instruments
used and time frame for completing the study.
6. Significance of the Study

 Points out the advantage that will come from the

result.
 Emphasizes the population to which the findings will
be favorable.
7. Definition of Terms

 The researcher defines new and different terms

used in the study using conceptual and
operational definitions written in complete
sentences and arranged alphabetically.
7. Definition of Terms

 In defining terms, the researcher should use

a) conceptual definition (the meaning of the term
as defined by authors or experts in the field) and
b) operational definition (the way the term is
used or referred to in the study) can both be used.
Example:
Emotional literacy. This refers to the ability to recognize,
understand, handle and appropriately express one’s
emotions (conceptual definition) . In this research, this
pertains to basic awareness of emotions in oneself and
others; determined by adding the scores on the dimension of
EC with the following subscales 1-3 namely: (1) Emotional
Awareness, (2) Emotional Expression, and (3) Emotional
Awareness of Others (operational definition)
