A case study is a very important method in qualitative research. It is equally important in the Guidance & counseling & marketing field. Some features of the case study are given in this presentation.
Research Objective
Research is an organized investigation of a problem in which there is an attempt to gain solution to a problem.
To get right solution of a right problem, clearly defined objectives are very important.
Clearly defined objectives enlighten the way in which the researcher has to proceed.
What is Research Objective?
A research objective is a clear, concise, declarative statement, which provides direction to investigate the variables.
Generally research objective focus on the ways to measure the variables , such as to identify or describe them.
Sometime objectives are directed towards identifying the relationship or difference between two variables.
Research objective are the results sought by the researcher at the end of the research process, i.e. what the researcher will be able to achieve at the end of the research study.
The objectives of a research project summarize what is to be achieved by the study.
Objective should be closely related to the statement of the problem.
CHARACTERISTICS OF RESEARCH OBJECTIVES
Research objectives is a concrete statement describing what the research is trying to achieve. A well-worded objective will be SMART, i.e Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, & Time-bound.
Research objective should be Relevant, Feasible, Logical, Observable, Unequivocal & Measurable.
Objective is a purpose that can be reasonably achieved within the expected timeframe &with the available resources.
The objective or research project summarizes what is to be achieved by the study.
The research objectives are the specific accomplishment the researchers hopes to achieve by the study
The objective include obtaining answers to research questions or testing the research hypothesis.
Why need Research Objectives?
The formulation of research objectives will help researcher to:
With clearly defined objectives, the researchers can focus on the study.
Avoid the collection of data which are not strictly necessary for understanding & solving problem that he or she has defined.
The formulation of objectives organize the study in clearly defined parts or phases.
Properly formulated, specific objectives will facilitate the development of research methodology & will help to orient the collection, analysis, interpretation, &utilization of data.
Types of Research Objectives
General Objective
General objectives are broad goals to be achieved.
The general objectives of the study state what the researcher expects to achieve by the study in general terms.
General objectives are usually less in number.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter 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.

Quantitative Research Questions
In your previous lesson, you studied about stating research questions. Can
you still remember what are the common types of a quantitative research questions?
In the given example below, complete the diagram of the correct information about
the research question.
In today’s lesson, you will learn how to indicate the scope and delimitation of
the study. This is very useful in writing a quantitative research. To be able to write a
good research, you need to be able to indicate the scope of your study and the
delimitation as well.
Let us start our lesson on indicating scope and delimitation of study by looking
at this activity.

Scope and Delimitation
Another element of research is the scope and delimitation, by indicating this, it
will help you to focus your own desired perspective with regards to your study.
However, it requires you to write a paragraph explaining the rationale on why you as
the researcher decided to delimit sets of specific boundaries in conducting your
research.
Simon’s (2013) definition of the scope of the study refers to the parameters
under which the study will be operating, what the study covers, and is closely
connected to the framing of the problem. The problem you seek to resolve will fit
within certain parameters. Think of the scope as the domain of your research, what
is in the study’s domain, and what is not. You need to be clear on what you will be
studying and which factors are within the accepted range of your study.
What about delimitation? For Theofanidis et al. (2019), they explained that the
delimitation, as controlled by the researcher, is the parameters or boundaries of the
study to achieve its aims and objectives. Furthermore, delimitation illuminates the
scope of the study’s foremost interest in relation to your research problem, objectives,
questions, design, variables of interest, location, participants, the theoretical and the
conceptual frameworks and others that a researcher opts to choose. Similarly,
Creswell (2012) differentiated delimitation and limitation; the former aims to narrow
by characterizing the scope of a study and specify the line of boundaries of the
research, while the latter aims to identify potential weaknesses of the study. Parallel
What is It

City of Good Character
DISCIPLINE • GOOD TASTE • EXCELLENCE
discussion of Simon (2013) on limitations of the study gave emphasis that every
study has its own limitations. Therefore, it can be said that limitations are
constraints such as participant dropout, small sample size, non-representative
sample that may affect the conclusion of the study, and it is beyond the researcher’s
control.
According to Calderon (2010), guidelines in writing the scope and delimitations
should include the following:
1. A brief statement of the general purpose of the study.
2. The subject matter and topics studied and discussed.
3. The locale of the study, where the data were gathered of the entity to which
the data belong.
4. The population or universe from which the respondents were selected. This
must be large enough to make generalization significant.
The period of the study. This is the time, either months or years, during
which the data were gathered.
Answer the activities that will follow to practice your knowledge and skill about
the topic of indicating scope and delimitations.

Activity 3
Read the paragraph below. Identify the delimitations and the limitations of the
study.
This quantitative inquiry is focused only to the identified one hundred (100)
grade ten (10) students who are frequently reported as victims of bullying in Marikina
City. These participants were officially enrolled in the junior high school for the
School-Year 2019-2020. Bullies were not included in this study. One of the
weaknesses of this study was the limited number of participants that may not truly
represent the reality of all the students in Marikina City.
Delimitation Limitation
In this lesson, we focused on the scope and delimitation of study. It is
important to remember that:
✓ Indicating the scope and delimitation of the study serves as guiding
boundaries that will focus the study towards its objectives.
✓ Delimitation is within the control and preference of the researcher that is
appropriate to the study and delimits the range of the study.
✓ There are guidelines to follow in writing the scope and delimitation that
can be helpful for the researcher.
