real-world observations,
dilemmas, wide reading,
selective viewing, meaningful
interactions, and deep reflection.
Writing a
ResearchTitle

3. Writing a
ResearchTitle
The title of the research is the
research problem inquiry in
capsule form. It must clearly
reflect the topic of investigation.
And it must be

11. Writing a
ResearchTitle
Read the article about the techniques in narrowing down
broad topics by Neuman (2007).
 1. Examine the literature. Published articles are an excellent
source of ideas for research questions.They are usually at an
appropriate level of specificity and suggest research
questions that focus on the following:
a. Replicate a previous research project exactly or with
slight variations.
b. Explore unexpected findings discovered in previous
research.
c. Follow suggestions an author gives for future
research at the end of an article. d. Extend an existing
explanation or theory to a new topic or setting.
e. Challenge findings or attempt to refute a
relationship.
f. Specify the intervening process and consider linking
relations.

12. Writing a
ResearchTitle
 2.Talk over ideas with others.
 a. Ask people who are knowledgeable about the topic for
questions about it that they have thought of.
 b. Seek out those who hold opinions that differ from
yours on the topic and discuss possible research questions
with them.
 3. Apply to a specific context.
 a. Focus the topic on a specific historical period or time
period.
 b. Narrow the topic to a specific society or geographic
unit.
 c. Consider which subgroups or categories of people/units
are involved and whether there are differences among
them.

13. Writing a
ResearchTitle
4. Define the aim or desired
outcome of the study.
a.Will the research question be
for an exploratory, explanatory,
or descriptive study?
 b.Will the study involve applied
or basic research?

INDEPENDENT ACTIVITY 1
Read the following excerpt from a
background of the study of a certain
research. Then be able to describe the
said background of the study by
completing the unfinished sentences

27. With diminishing finances, it is rarely possible for a library of
information center to have enough resources to fulfil the
needs of its clients…Collaboration is widely recognized as
the best way for libraries to cope with the ever increasing
challenges: volume of information resources, nature and
quality of information, user needs and expectations,
information and communication technology competencies
and infrastructure, inflated cost of information resources and
staffing needs.

28. However, although these challenges have
continued to prevail, libraries working under
collaborative initiatives like the Consortium
of Academic and research Libraries in
Illinois (CARL) have registered tremendous
success

29. This research reports the findings of a thorough study to
establish the factors that have led to the success of CARLI and how
such success factors can be applied in libraries of developing countries
like Uganda. Emphasis is placed on the establishment of CARLI
leadership, the sharing of responsibility and decision making process,
as well as sources of funding for the consortium… Also central to the
research study is exploration of the role and responsibility of
participating member libraries and their contributions to and
expectations from the consortium.
 This present study has incorporated interviews with CARLI staff and a questionnaire survey to all the
participatingCARLI membership. (https://www.ideals.illinois.edu/bitstreamyhandle/2142/thesis-ch.1-3)

GROUP
ACTIVITY

33. Students have different ways in processing
information; some may prefer audio-visual presentation;
others drama and imitating or reasoning logically and
intuitively, or analyzing and envisioning. Teacher style also
vary. Some professors used traditional way of teaching;
others used the new trend in technology; some focus on
principles and others on presentations. When the learning
style of professors are incompatible, the students may
become inattentive, distracted, uninterested, their
achievement level goes down, and eventually leads to
school dropout.

34. For intervention used in this study is the
student’s devises games simulation.

41. Presenting a
WrittenStatement
of the Problem
Quarter 1 Module 9
Practical Research 2
CYRUS JOHNV. LAGUNOY
Teacher

42. Statement of
the Problem
A statement of the problem is a
concise description of the issues
that need to be addressed by the
researcher.
• 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.

43. Statement of
the Problem
• The problem statement is the
researcher’s guide during the
research process. It is the
verbalization and articulation as
well as the analysis of the question
in which the researcher wants the
research to answer.

44. Statement of
the Problem
 Guidelines in formulating the general problem and the specific sub
problems or specific questions. The following are suggested to
guide the researcher in the formulation of his or her general as well
as his specific sub problems or questions. These are also the
characteristics of specific questions:
 1. The general statement of the problem and the specific sub
problems or questions should be formulated first before
conducting the research.
 2. It is customary to state the specific problems in the interrogative
form. Hence, sub problems are called specific questions.
 3. Each specific question must be clear and unequivocal, that is, it
has only one meaning. It must not have dual meaning.

45. Statement of
the Problem
 4. Each specific question is researchable apart from
the other questions, that is, answers to each specific
question can be found even without considering the
other questions.
 5. Each specific question must be based upon known
facts and phenomena. Besides, data from such known
facts and phenomena must be accessible to make the
specific question researchable.
 6. Answers to each specific can be interpreted apart
from the answers to their specific questions.
 7. Answers to each specific question must contribute
to the development of the whole research problem or
topic.
 8. Summing up the answers to all the specific
questions will give a complete development of the
entire study.

46. Statement of
the Problem
 9.The number of specific questions should be enough
to cover the development of the whole research
problem or study.
 10. Generally, there should be a general statement of
the problem and then this should be broken up into as
many subproblems or specific questions as necessary

47. Statement of
the Problem

48. Statement of
the Problem
Activity 1
 Directions: Read the sample statement of the problem and be able to
answer the questions that follow.
The main objective of this research undertaking was to find
out what is the comparison of the academic performance
of Senior High School students who have internet access
at home and those who do not have. Specifically, the
study aimed to answer the following questions:
1. What is the level of academic performance of the Senior
High School students who have internet access at home
and those who not have?
2. Is there a significant difference between the academic
performance of Senior High School students who have
internet access at home and those who do not have?
3. What improvement plan can be introduced in school to
offer free internet access in school for students?

52. Scope and
Delimitation
of Research
Quarter 1 Module 12
Practical Research 2
CYRUS JOHNV. LAGUNOY
Teacher

53. Scope and
Delimitation
Scope and Delimitation of study are two
elements of a research paper that inform
the reader;
what information is included in the
research and;
 explain why the author chose that
information.
Although scope and delimitation explain
the way a study is limited, this information
adds credibility to research. (Reference.
Com, 2017)

54. Scope and
Delimitation
1. Scope
-explains what information or subject is
being analyzed. If at the beginning of the
study, it is already clear that your
respondents are the regular employees
who have been working at the agency for
at least three years, are presently
connected with the agency, and who have
been assigned to at least three provinces
in Central Luzon, then all those who do
not meet the above description should
not be part of the study.

55. Scope and
Delimitation
Likewise, if it is clear that only
selected variables are included, then
no other variables are supposed to be
part of the study even if these were
included in parallel studies. You
might have avoided other variables
for reasons of practicality, interest, or
relativity to the study at hand

56. Scope and
Delimitation
2. Delimitation
The delimitation of the study is
the explanation of the scope of
the study. This section allows the
writer to explain why certain
aspects of a subject were chosen
and why others were excluded.

57. Scope and
Delimitation
2. Delimitation
It is also common for a writer to
explain the chosen research
method in this section and
explain why certain theories
were applied to the data.
(Reference.com, 2017)

58. Scope and
Delimitation
Limitations
• are influences that the researcher cannot
control.
• are the shortcomings, conditions or
influences that cannot be controlled by the
researcher that place restrictions on your
methodology and conclusions. Any
limitations that might influence the results
should be mentioned. (“Develop a Research
Proposal - Planning the Methodology-
Limitations and Delimitations,”2017

59. Scope and
Delimitation
The following may be the possible
limitations that may arise from the
research design and methodology:
1. Sample size. The research design and
methodology will determine whether
the research will have a small or large
sample size.
-it will determine the quality of data and
the relationships that will be identified
among the variables.

60. Scope and
Delimitation
2. Lack of available and/or reliable data.
Missing and unreliable data will limit the scope
of analysis and the ability of the researcher to
determine meaningful trends and
relationships among the data.
3. Lack of prior studies. This will limit the
effectiveness of the literature review and may
limit the initial understanding of the research
problem. This, however, can be a basis for
identifying avenues for future research

61. Scope and
Delimitation
4. Chosen data collection method.
Limitations in the data collection instrument may
affect the quality of data collected.
 Unclear or vague questions in a questionnaire will
result to unclear or erroneous answers from the
respondents. The method employed in data
collection may also affect the data,
For example, the researcher may have conducted an
interview or survey at a time the respondents may be
busy or preoccupied; there may be a possibility that
the respondents may not have accomplished the
survey form or answered the question thoroughly
and the responses given may have been vague

62. Scope and
Delimitation
5. Nature of the information
collected. Relying on preexisting
data may impose limits on the
researcher as he/she can no longer
clarify certain data.

63. Scope and
Delimitation
Apart from the data and methodology, the
characteristics of the researcher and the limits that
he/she experiences in the conduct of the research
may also give rise to limitations.These are as follows:
1. Access. The amount and quality of data will
depend on the availability of the researcher to
access people, organizations, libraries, and
documents that can provide him/her the best
available data.
2. Time period. The length of time devoted to the
study will affect almost all aspects of the research. It
is advisable to select a research problem and design
that gives way to a more manageable time period.

64. Scope and
Delimitation
3. Bias. This refers to a way of viewing certain thing,
issue or idea and may be influenced by the
researcher’s background. The researcher, therefore,
should be aware of his or her personal biases and how
these affect the conduct of the research. Biases may
affect the way the researcher states and defines the
research problem, the selection of research design
and methodology, the variables chosen, data
collection methods and the interpretation of data.
4. Language. This may have an effect on data
collection, especially if the researcher is involved with
respondents that speak a variety of languages.

65. Scope and
Delimitation
A delimitation addresses how a study will be
narrowed in scope, that is, how it is bounded.
-This is the place to explain the things that you
are not doing and why you have chosen not to
do them – the literature you will not review
(and why not), the population you are not
studying (and why not), the methodological
procedures you will not use (and why you will
not use them).
