2. Background of the Study
The background of the study is the first section of the
paper and establishes the context underlying the research. It
contains the rationale, the key problem statement, and a brief
overview of research questions that are addressed in the rest of
the paper.
Statement of the Problem
A problem statement is an explanation in research that
describes the issue that is need in the study. What a problem
is the research attempting to address? Having a problem
statement allows the reader to quickly understand the purpose

to provide a response to. It resides at the end core systematic
investigation and it helps you to clearly define a path for the
research process.
A research question is usually the first step in any
research project. Basically it is the primary interrogation point
of your research and it sets the pace of your work.

4. Significance of the Study

potential importance, relevance, or impact of the research
findings. It outlines how the research contributes to the
existing body of knowledge., what gaps it fills, or what new
understanding it brings to a particular field of study.

phenomena, draw connections, and make predictions. In a
theoretical framework , you explain the existing theories that
support your research.

6. Limitations of the Study
The limitations of the study are its flaws or shortcomings
which could be the result of unavailability of resources, small
sample size, flawed methodology, etc. No study is completely
flawless or inclusive of all possible aspects.
