2. WHAT IS A
RESEARCH PAPER?
A research paper is a type of academic
writing that provides an in-depth analysis,
evaluation, or interpretation of a single
topic, based on empirical evidence.
4. CHAPTER 1:
INTRODUCTION
• INTRODUCTION
• BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
• CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK
• STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
• SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
• SCOPE AND DELIMITATIONS
• DEFINITION OF TERMS
5. CHAPTER 1:
Background of the study should provide
general information about the topic of
your research and emphasize the main
aims of the study.
.Every introduction should clearly
state the purpose of your essay or
thesis with a summary of the main
points that will be discussed
The statement of the problem briefly
addresses the question: What is the
problem that the research will address?
What are the goals of a statement of the
problem?
A conceptual framework includes one
or more formal theories (in part or
whole) as well as other concepts and
empirical findings from the literature.
6. CHAPTER 1:
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
It justifies why your research was
needed, the impact of your research in
your field, its contribution, and how
others (audience) would benefit from it.
This is an important part of
Research paper or report is that in
which the key or important terms in
the study are clearly defined..
8. CHAPTER 2:
It is a review of all the studies around a
particular research problem, it helps
justify the need for studying the problem
in the first place. It only includes
empirical studies, experiments, and
research findings
It is a section in a research paper that
discusses the relevant studies, theories,
and concepts that have been published
in academic journals, books, or other
sources that are related to the research
topic.
Synthesizing sources means comparing
and contrasting the work of other scholars
to provide new insights. It involves
analyzing and interpreting the points of
agreement and disagreement among
sources
9. CHAPTER 3:
METHODOLOGY
• RESEARCH DESIGN
• Sampling techniques
• Sample
• Research instrument
• Research procedure
• Statistical treatment of the data
10. CHAPTER 3:
A sampling technique is a defined
procedure to obtain samples and data
from a target population.
Research design refers to the overall
strategy that you choose to integrate the
different components of the study in a
coherent and logical way your
presentation.
A research instrument is a tool used to
collect, measure, and analyze data related
to your subject. Research instruments
can be tests, surveys, scales,
questionnaires, or even checklists
It is a smaller set of data that a
researcher chooses or selects from a
larger population using a pre-defined
selection bias method.
11. CHAPTER 3:
It is taking raw data and
turning it into something that
can be interpreted and used to
make decisions..
It consists of a series of systematic
procedures that a researcher must
go through in order to generate
knowledge that will be considered
valuable by the project and focus on
the relevant topic
13. CHAPTER 4:
. Data analysis involves processing and
analyzing the data to derive meaningful
insights, while data interpretation involves
making sense of the insights and drawing
conclusions. Data presentation involves
presenting the data in a clear and concise
way to communicate the research findings.
15. CHAPTER 5:
The conclusion is intended to help
the reader understand why your
research should matter to them
after they have finished reading the
paper.
A summary of findings table presents the
key information about the most important
outcomes of a treatment, including the
best effect estimate and the certainty of
the evidence for each outcome.
Recommendations in research are
suggestions/solutions that address
certain problems based on your study
results
16. REMINDER
Appendix is a section that is placed at the end
of the thesis and may contain material such
as tables, figures, maps, photographs, raw
data. For bibliography, it is a detailed list of
all the sources consulted and cited in a
research paper or project.
