The document provides guidance on writing a research title. It states that a research title should summarize the main topic and key variables being studied in a concise way. Titles should be around 12-15 words to be effective. Examples of good titles are given, such as "Modern Counseling: Freudian Theory with a New Face" for a study on the influence of psychoanalysis on counseling. Guidelines are given that the title should reflect the general problem or variable being investigated by the research. Sources for topic ideas can come from theories, prior research, and personal experiences. Developing a title requires narrowing a topic to be sufficiently focused and manageable for a research study.

PROBLEM

not like a manna that will fall
from heaven, and presto! You

12. Lets conceptualize

13. start-up activity
Topic: heart disease
among older men
If I we’re to ask you to write a
research title about heart disease (very
broad). Is there a way to narrow it down?
Questions:
■ Does any of you know what causes an
older man die from heart attacks?
■ Based on your personal experience do
you have a relative that suffered from
heart attack?

16. Pick your Choice
In the previous slide, there are
categories to choose; example cancer,
mental health or weight issues and
more. You need to pair one picture to
the other, and be put together to
create one narrow topic.
Once all pairs has done, Write a
suggested title/topic from the chosen
picture.

17. Category: Mental Health
Topic: Post-Partum Depression:
Title:
Personality Traits that Put Mothers
at Risk Cause by Post-Partum
Depression
Possible title

20. The research

the problem of
the study
Big Idea

21. What Have I learned So Far?
■ What are the
guidelines in writing a
research title?
■ What can be used as
basis for writing the
research title?
■ What is the ideal
length of a research
title?
 The research title sums up
the variables being studied
in the research
 Usually, the general
problem is reflected in the
research title
 Avoid titles that are too
long
 Problem that seeks to be
answered is the basis for
writing the research title
 A good title is usually
composed of 12 to 15
words.

22. Being an ABM student, do
you have in mind what do
you want to know and
investigate in your specific
track?

23. Now, let us move on to the Senior High School
track you are enrolled in
Before you make a final decision on your topic, reflect on these questions:
1. What area/s not covered in classroom lessons/discussions do I still
want to know/investigate in my specific track?
2. If I do this research project, how useful will it be to me as a senior high school
graduate and to the community where I belong, and even to the larger community, the
Philippines,ASEAN, and the world?

30. HOMEWORK
Your school principal is alarmed
on the dwindling attendance of the
students in coming to school. As a
guidance councilor, you are requested to
investigate the cause of this problem.
On your initial investigations, you found
out that one possible cause of this
problem is the rampant use of computer
applications such as social networking
sites and online games. Your task now is
to survey and come up with the report
on the possible effects of computer
applications like social networking sites
and online games on the attitude of
students toward school attendance.
Your report should be well written, the
data are presented in a table or graph,
and possible recommendations are
suggested to minimize the problem
