Objectives and

Structures of
Various Kinds of
Reports
 TARGETS
At the end of this lesson, you should be
able to:
1. define what reports are;
2. determine the objectives of various
kinds of reports; and
3. give the structures of reports
 EXPLORE
In your previous grade levels, have you been
required by your teacher to interview somebody?
What did you do with the result of your interview?
How did you relay it to your teacher or to your
classmates?
In this lesson, you will learn more about the
objectives and structures of different kinds of
reports. But before that, please answer the activity
below.
Directions: Rearrange the following jumbled letters to
form key words that you will
learn in this lesson. Write your answers in your EAPP Don't
f orget
activity notebook.

 KEEP THIS IN MIND
Great! You have successfully done the
activity because you are a critical thinker-a
quality
of an EAPP student. This time, we are going to
determine the objectives and structures of
various
kinds of reports.
 Research Report
What is a Research Report?
• It is an expanded paper that presents results and interpretation of a
phenomenon so that the readers can better understand it.
• It is produced through formal investigation and scientific inquiry, not
a summary
of different articles or ideas that are presented uncritically
 What are the different types and
objectives of reports?
1. Survey Report- presents the results of the author’s research.
It communicates the survey findings.2
2. Field report- used in the field of social sciences to link theory and
application.
It contains the author’s observations when out on the field.
3. Laboratory or Scientific Technical Report- written by those in the
sciences mainly
to persuade others to accept or reject a hypothesis, record the
details for future researches, and document a current
phenomenon for future reference comparison.
 PARTS OF A RESEARCH
REPORT
Generally, a research report includes the
following sections: title page, abstract,
introduction, literature review, methodology,
results, discussion, conclusion, and
references.
1. Title page- contains an informative title which
describes the content of the paper,
name of author/s and addresses or affiliation, and
date when it is submitted.
2. Abstract – contains the summary of the findings
and conclusions. It briefly
presents the context of the study, research questions
or objectives,
methodology, major findings, conclusions, and
sometimes implications, with
minimal number of citations and statistical data.
3. Introduction - explains the current state of the field of discipline
and identifies
research gaps addressed by the research. It presents the research focus
in a
way that it addresses the identified gaps and puts the research topic in
context.
4. Literature Review- contains the summary and synthesis of all
available sources
directly related to the study. It is divided into two sections: the related
concepts
and related studies which both help the researcher explain the
phenomena
which may arise during the study.
Related concepts- explain some of the fundamental
concepts and
theories needed by readers to better understand the
study. These are defined,
explained and described.
Related studies- based on previously conducted
studies directly related to the
paper.
5. Methodology- contains the processes and steps
taken in gathering data for the
research. It contains the context and participants, the
instruments used, data
gathering procedure, and data analysis.
6. Result- describes the data gathered. It also
contains tables and graphs that
summarize the collected data and their respective
interpretations.
7. Discussion- presents the why’s of the results.
Provides an explanation for all the results in relation
to the previous studies
presented in the literature review.
8. Conclusion- contains the restatement of major
findings, limitations of the study,
recommendations, and implications.
9. References/Bibliography- contains the different
sources used in the study.
7. Discussion- presents the why’s of the results.
Provides an explanation for all the results in relation
to the previous studies
presented in the literature review.
8. Conclusion- contains the restatement of major
findings, limitations of the study,
recommendations, and implications.
9. References/Bibliography- contains the different
sources used in the study.
