Getting
Started
Approaching adults seem to be easily influenced by the magic of love, in one
way or another. That being said, people have set some personal expectations, criteria, or
boundaries when looking for their special someone.

Are you also affected by this magic? Do you also have some
expectations, or criteria for finding your partner?

How about writing some of your expectations inside the heart


figure that you can see on the board?

STEP 1.SET THE CONTEXT AND BACKGROUND
Chapter 1
THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND
Mathematics is an intellectual toolkit for abstraction,
generalization, and synthesis. It provides powerful universal
language that connects other disciplines. It is vital in underpinning
the knowledge about economy, physical science, technology,
business, finance, engineering and even ICT (Abdul & Sarabi,
2015). But, mathematics is a challenging subject to master by
students from primary school to university (Shafie, Shahdanb, &
Liew, 2010, cited by Magayon & Tan, 2016). Most of the students
find this subject arduous, especially those branches of
mathematics that are mind boggling like algebra, geometry,
calculus, and other higher mathematics. Varied researches long
demonstrated that mathematics learning is a common and
important person of students in all ages to be addressed.

2. Present the Research Gap

Limited data in previous


The unknown
researches

Research Gap – It is the missing piece in a research or a study. It


is an area that has not yet been explored or under explored.
STEP 2. PRESENT THE RESEARCH GAP
Over the years, the students’ under achievement in Mathematics was not
just a concern for particular countries, but had become a global concern (Altar,
2014). In the same study, cited from the released result of the 2012 Programme
for International Assessment (PISA), it showed that out of 64 countries around the
world with comparable data up to 2012, 25 countries showed an average annual
improvement in Mathematics, 25 showed no improvement, and 14 countries
showed deterioration in Mathematics performance. Evidently, the Mathematics
target throughout the globe was not yet obtain.
In the Philippines, mathematics education is facing a dilemma as shown
in the low achievement scores of students in the National Achievement Test and
the international test known as the Trends in Mathematics and Science Study
(TIMSS) (Tatsuoka, Corter, 2004; DepEd 2012) cited from the International
Journal of Education Studies in Mathematics 9Magayon & Tan, 2016). It was
supported by the Philippine Education for All 2015 National review that revealed
the mean percentage score of the Filipinos from Elementary to High School over
the eight year period has not yet reached the Philippine EFA target of 75 percent
(Salao, 2016). He also added that majority of the learners in the country are
struggling in Mathematics in general.

3. Discuss the Goal of the Research

What the research Contribution to the


intends to offer field of knowledge
STEP 3: DISCUSS THE GOAL OF THE RESEARCH

This research focused on the Math


Talk as an inquiry base strategy in teaching
Grade 7 Mathematics in ***High School.
This study also aims to flaunt that through
this new teaching – learning approach,
students will play an active part and deepen
their understanding towards the concept in
mathematics.
© Erika Lynn O. Delos Amo, 2019
STEP 4. PRESENT THE RATIONALE OF THE RESEARCH
The mentioned dilemma above can be seen and
observed in an actual classroom situation. Many of the
students enter high school with severe gaps in mathematical
concepts and skills that result difficulty in coping up with the
competencies assigned by the Department of Education.
Though number and number sense had been part of their
curriculum in elementary, those competencies were taught
but not conceived by most of the students. If the student are
not equipped even with the very basic mathematical concepts,
then it will have a domino effect on the latter years. Because
of this existing condition, the researcher conducted a study
on how to address the problem in Grade 7 of ***High School.

Another
Example of the
Background of
Background of the Study
This year 2022 is the year when the voice of the people will be
heard through elections. Election is a key practice for the prosperity of
the country and its future shall rely on the preferences and education of
the youth (Anabo, 2021 & Cao, 2018). Since most of the youth are in
their educational careers, they can be more knowledgeable on the state
of the country regarding social issues and roles in democracy. As they
grow and become autonomous, their personalities will experience
changes due to their increased awareness of the world them. With this,
how the youth will view elections is interesting. According to Levy as
cited in Anabo (2021), elections are a market of people and policies
where the political elites run in lucrative business. However, elections
are important avenue for the country’s development. With this, the
youth’s socio-political standing would reflect on their participation.
Thus, it is important to tackle how education plays a role in developing
the socio-political views of the youth since at this life stage, education is
very prominent in their lives in general (Anabo, 2021).
Background of the Study
Civic education plays an important role in stimulating
political engagement. This includes integrating contemporary
events in discussions to expand the students’ interest in
participating in political and electoral means (Owen, 2011). In the
Philippine setting, Understanding Culture, Society, and Politics is a
subject embedded in the circulation of the STEM strand. The
subject advocates responding to social, cultural, and political
changes inclusive of citizenship and participatory governance.
These are all in the line with political, electoral participation, and
the rights of the youth (Department of Education, 2013). However,
the youth’s decision to choose a track and a strand of education
were influenced by their unique set of interests and
characteristics.. Thus, every strand is composed of a unique set of
students, and therefore it is important to study the context of youth
political participation.

TYPES OF
RESEARCHABLE
QUESTIONS
TYPES OF RESEARCH QUESTIONS
1. Factor-Isolating Questions. (“What is this?”) They are
sometimes called factor naming. They isolate, categorize,
describe, or name factors and situations.
EXAMPLES:
1. What is the profile of school managers in terms of:
1.1 age
1.2 management experience
a. educational attainment
b. management training

a. intrapersonal competency
b. interpersonal competency
c. school effectiveness
4. What is the relationship of the level of performance
of the college instructors to the OJT performance of
the HRM students of the Tacloban School of
Business?
TYPES OF RESEARCH QUESTIONS
3. Situation-Relating Questions. (“What will happen if…?”)
These questions usually yield hypotheses testing or
experimental study designs in which the researcher
manipulates the variables to see what will happen.
EXAMPLES:
1. What are the effects of the traditional methods of teaching
on the level of performance of the ABM students?
2. How does the management procedures applied by the
store managers affect the level of customer satisfaction as
experienced by selected regular clients of Jollibee stores in
the Province of Leyte?
TYPES OF RESEARCH QUESTIONS
4. Situation-Producing Questions. (“How can I make it
happen ?”) These questions establish explicit goals for
actions, develop plans or prescriptions to achieve goals, and
specify the conditions under which these goals will be
accomplished.
EXAMPLES:
1. Based on the findings, what human relation intervention
program can be adopted to enhance or improve school
effectiveness?
2. How can counseling services be organized to promote
family bonding among parents and elementary school
pupils?

Scope and
Delimitatio
SCOPE

 It details how in-depth your study is to explore the research question


and the parameters in which it will operate in relation to the
population and timeframe.

DELIMITATION

 The factors and variables not to be included in the investigation. In


other words, they are the boundaries the researcher sets in terms of
study duration, population size and type of participants, etc.
Scope and Delimitation
This study is centered on the youth political participation of STEM
students through voting. The participants will be at eligible voting age and
from the grade 12 level of the STEM strand of a public school in Quezon City.
The current likelihood to vote of the students in the presidential elections
2022 will be determined by finding the difference between the academic
performance of registered voters and the non-registered on the UCSP subject.
With this, it will be determined how the UCSP subject influences the political
participation of STEM students through voting. However, this study will not
delve deeper into their specific voting preferences and determinants outside of
the STEM strand.
Since this research will be conducted in the “new normal” setting,
coordinating with the public school’s officials will be hindered physically.
Moreover, this study will employ a snowball sampling method which is heavily
reliant on the respondents to gather the required amount of samples.

Significanc
e of the
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

It pinpoints the benefits that will gain by


certain groups of people from the findings
of the study. It must start from the most to
the least benefit.
Significance of the Study
This study seeks to determine if there is a significant difference
between the academic performance in UCSP of Grade 12 STEM registered and
non-registered voters. In light of this, this study seeks to contribute to the
following beneficiaries:
The government authorities. This study can help government officials
to take an interest in how civic education can impact the students taking STEM –
related courses. Thus, the Department of Education (DepEd), Commission on
higher Education (CHED), National Youth Commission (NYC) can make further
directives regarding the development of education to promote social awareness and
political participation with regard to the students’ career paths. However, it should
be acknowledged that education sectors must remain non-partisan.

The school administrators. This study can help school


administrators by providing a better understanding of the scope and nature of
the STEM strand concerning the students’ political participation. With this,
together with the teachers they can improve or maintain their school activities
to promote socio-political standing of the students.
Significance of the Study
The families of the students. This study can help the
families of students become knowledgeable on how the UCSP
in the STEM strand impacts their children’s political
participation. With this, they can better act as a role models
in the family setting.

The teachers. This study can help teachers in the


STEM strand to be more aware of the importance of political
participation. This study can help give knowledge on the
nature of socio-political views of their students and how it
manifests into political or apolitical participation. With this,
they will be able to better adjust their teaching styles to
incorporate civic education in the context of the STEM strand.
Significance of the Study

The students. This study can help students have


a better understanding of their roles in democracy. With
this, they will be able to become more inclined to take a
stand in their socio-political views as STEM students.

The future researchers. They can gain different


perspective and information about Youth Political
Participation, especially since there is a lack of studies
in the Philippine setting and in the context of STEM.
This could serve as a building block of information for
the foundation of their studies.
