Framework
INTRODUCTION
 Discusses four (4) relevant ideas:
 TOPIC or subject matter: define and elaborate
using methods of paragraph development like
classification and giving examples
 IMPORTANCE of the Topic: cite the role that the topic
plays in your life and the benefits you derive from it.
 REASONS for Choosing the topic: emphasized
what motivated you to choose the topic.
 PURPOSE of the Study: discusses the objective of the
study.
Background
of The Study
 consists of statements on what
led the investigator to launch the
study.
 describe as clearly as possible the
problem intended to be
addressed and refer to the
relevant literature in the field.
Statement of
the Problem
 There should be a general
statement of the whole problem
followed by the specific questions
or sub problems into which the
general problem is broken up.
Theoretical
Framework
 According to Olandria (2015), It discusses the very
FOUNDATION or RATIONALE why the study is
conducted. It covers known and long accepted
concepts, theories, laws, policies, and principles
which form the legal basis where the current study
is anchored upon.”

 This is why Theoretical Framework is your main

argument that BACKUPS your Study.
 What must be obtained from a theory?

 The name/s of author/s of the theory must be taken

including the place and the time / year when he or
she postulated such a principle or generalization.
 the part or parts of the theory that are relevant to
your study
 synthesis by relating to your findings
Conceptual
Framework
 The conceptual framework becomes
Backbone of the study.
 Process of a whole research on how
the research will made.
 It is a diagrammatic representation
of a research. It depicts in a more
vivid way what the conceptual
framework wants to convey.
INPUT

Assumption of the
Study /
Hypothesis
A Hypothesis is an uncertain explanation
regarding a phenomenon or event. It is widely
used as a base for conducting tests and the results
of the tests determine the acceptance or rejection
of the hypothesis.
An ASSUMPTION is also a kind of belief
which is considered to be true. This statements
by the researcher that certain elements of the
research are understood to be true.
 Scope and
Delimitation of the
Study
Scope and delimitations are two elements of a
research paper or thesis. The scope of a study explains the
extent to which the research area will be explored in the work
and specifies the parameters within which the study will be
operating.
Thus, delimitations are the characteristics that limit
the scope and describe the boundaries of the study,
such as the sample size, geographical location or
setting in which the study takes place, population
traits, etc.
Limitation of the
Study
Significance of
the Study
 Who are to be benefited and how they are
going to be benefited. It must be shown
who are the individuals, groups, or
communities who may be placed in a more
advantageous position on account of the
study.
 Possible contribution to the fund of
knowledge.
Definition of
Terms
 Only terms, words, or phrases which
have special or unique meanings in
the study are defined.
 Terms should be defined
operationally, that is how they are
used in the study.
 Definitions may be taken from encyclopedias,
books, magazines and newspaper articles,
dictionaries, and other publications but the
researcher must acknowledge his sources.
 Definitions should a\be brief, clear as possible.
 Acronyms should always be spelled out fully
