Research papers are intended to demonstrate a student’s academic knowledge of a subject. When studying at higher levels of school and throughout college, you will likely be asked to prepare research papers. A research paper can be used for exploring and identifying scientific, technical and social issues. If it's your first time writing a research paper, it may seem daunting, but with good organization and focus of mind, you can make the process easier on yourself. Writing a research paper involves four main stages: choosing a topic, researching your topic, making an outline, and doing the actual writing. The paper won't write itself, but by planning and preparing well, the writing practically falls into place. Also, try to avoid plagiarism.
· Abstract - An abstract is a brief summary of a research article, thesis, review, conference proceeding, or any in-depth analysis of a particular subject and is often used to help the reader quickly ascertain the paper's purpose.
· Background of the Problem - Background information identifies and describes the history and nature of a well-defined research problem with reference to the existing literature. The background information should indicate the root of the problem being studied, appropriate context of the problem in relation to theory, research, and/or practice, its scope, and the extent to which previous studies have successfully investigated the problem, noting, in particular, where gaps exist that your study attempts to address.
· Problem Statement - A problem statement is a clear concise description of the issue(s) that need(s) to be addressed by a problem-solving team. It is used to center and focus the team at the beginning, keep the team on track during the effort, and is used to validate that the effort delivered an outcome that solves the problem statement
· Purpose Statement - A purpose statement is a declarative sentence which summarizes the specific topic and goals of a document. It is typically included in the introduction to give the reader an accurate, concrete understanding what the document will cover and what he/she can gain from reading it. To be effective, a statement of purpose should be:
· Nature of the Study - In modern science, all findings are usually required by the research community to be backed up by sound statistical evidence. The target audience... The nature of a study in social sciences research may refer to the statistical design of the study
· Research Question - A research question is the fundamental core of a research project, study, or review of literature. It focuses the study, determines the methodology, and guides all stages of inquiry, analysis, and reporting
· Interview Questions
· Assumptions, Limitations, and Delimitations –
· Limitations are influences that the researcher cannot con ...

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Terms
4. 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
5. consists of statements on what led the
investigator to launch the study.
may have been generated by some
empirical observations, the need to
explore the problem and some other
relevant conditions.
describe as clearly as possible the problem
intended to be addressed and refer to the
relevant literature in the field.
6. Background of the Study
it is an overview of factors
which have led to the problem,
comprise the problem and
historical significance relative to
the problem.
7.
8.
9.
10. 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.
11.
12.
13.
14. Theoretical Framework
This is the foundation of the research study.
These are highly related theories and
principles that were established and proven
by authorities
refers to the set of interrelated construct,
definitions, and prepositions that presents a
systematic view of phenomena
15. Theoretical Framework
an organized body that
explains what has been done
and what has been said on the
topic or problem being
investigated.
16. 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
17.
18. Conceptual Framework
a tentative explanation or theoretical
explanation of the phenomenon or problem
and serves as the basis for the formulation
research hypotheses.
consists of the investigator’s own position on
a problem after his exposure to various
theories that have bearing on the problem
19. Conceptual Framework
The conceptual framework becomes the
central theme, the focus, the main thrust of the
study. It serves as a guide in conducting
investigation.
Paradigm. A paradigm is a diagrammatic
representation of a conceptual framework. It
depicts in a more vivid way what the
conceptual framework wants to convey.
20.

23. Deductive Reasoning
: In deductive reasoning, a conclusion is reached
reductively by applying general rules that hold
over the entirety of
a closed domain of discourse, narrowing the
range under consideration until only the
conclusion is left.
a method of reasoning by which concrete
applications or consequences are deducted from
general principles or theorems
24. Assumptions and Hypothesis
Historical and descriptive investigations do not
need explicit hypotheses and assumptions. Only
experimental studies need expressly written
assumptions and hypotheses.
Assumptions- a belief that forms one of the
bases for the research. This belief is not to be
tested or supported with empirical data. Very
often belief is not stated in a research proposal.
25. Hypothesis
is a tentative answer to a research question,
it can be derived
fromthe observation before the research is
conducted. This is called inductive hypothesis.
from the theory. This is called deductive
hypothesis.
There is no significant relationship to…….
26. Kinds of Hypothesis
Research hypothesis is usually developed from
experience, literature or theory, or combination of
these. This is the expected relationship
between variables.
Null hypothesis is the one that states NO
relationship between varibales. The function is to
let the research test the hypothesis statistically.
27. Scope and Limitations
The scope and delimitations should
include the following:
A brief statement of the general purpose of the
study.
The subject matter and topics studied and
discussed.
The locale of the study, where the data were
gathered or the entity to which the data belong.
28. The population or universe from which the
respondents were selected. This must be
large enough to make generalizations
significant.
The period of the study. This is the time,
either months or years, during which the
data were gathered.
Scope and Delimitations of the Study
29. Delimitations of the Study
include the weaknesses of the
study beyond the control of the
researcher.
The weaknesses spring out of the
inaccuracies of the perceptions of
the respondents.
30.
31. Significance of the Study
The rationale, timeliness and/or relevance
of the study. The rationale, timeliness
and/or relevance of the study to existing
conditions must be explained or
discussed.
Possible solutions to existing problems or
improvement to unsatisfactory conditions.
32. 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.
33. Significance of the Study
Possible implications. It should be
discussed here that the implications
include the possible causes of the
problems discovered, the possible
effects of the problems, and the remedial
measures to solve the problems.
34.
35.
36.
37. Variables
is the operationalized way in which the attribute is
represented for further data processing.
Values of each variable statistically "vary" (or
are distributed) across the variable's domain
Basically, a variable is any factor that can be
controlled, changed, or measured in an
experiment.
38. Types of Variables
The independent variable is the one
condition that you change in an
experiment.
The dependent variable is the variable
that you measure or observe. It is the
factor that is dependent on the state of
the independent variable.
39. Types of Variables
A controlled variable or constant
variable is a variable that does not
change during an experiment.
Extraneous variables are "extra" variables
that may influence the outcome of an
experiment, but aren't taken into account
during measurement.
40. 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.
The researcher may develop his own
definition from the characteristics of the term
defined.
41. Definition of Terms
Definitions may be taken from
encyclopedias, books, magazines and
newspaper articles, dictionaries, and other
publications but the researcher must
acknowledge his sources.
Definitions should abe brief, clear, and
unequivocal as possible.
Acronyms should always be spelled out fully
