be formulated first before conducting a
research.
2. State specific subproblems in the
interrogative form. Hence, subproblems 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 meanings.
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
4. Each specific question is researchable apart
from the other questions.
5. Each specific questions must be based upon
known facts and phenomena.
6. Answers to each specific question must
contribute to the development of the whole
research problem or topic.
7. Answers to each specific question must
contribute to the development of the whole
research problem or topic.
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
8. Summing up the answer to all the specific
questions will give a conplete development of
the entire study.
9. The number of specific questions should be
enough to cover the development of the whole
research problem or study.
10. Before writing down the specific questions,
determine first different aspects of the research
problem to be studied and then for each aspect
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
make one specific question with subquestionss
if there is a need. If the research topic is the
teacing of science the different aspects may be
the following;
a. Qualifications of the teachers, especially
education.
b. Methods and strategies of teaching.
c. Facilities available
d. Comparison between the perceptions of the
teachers and students.

Actual: The descriptive method of research was
used in this study. Descriptive method of
research is a fact-finding study with adequate
and accurate interpretation of the findings. It
describes with emphasis what actually exist such
as current conditions, practices, situations, or any
phenomena. Since the present study was
concerned with the influence of the social status

group, the descriptive method of research was
the most appropriate method to use.

questionnaire from related studies, the
researcher prepared his own questionnaire.
The researcher saw to it that there were
enough items to collect data to cover all
aspects of the problem and to answer all the
specific questions under the statement of the

Example: The format to be used in the
construction of the questionnaire will be in a
form of guided response type. The questions
will solicit the intensified of feeling, emotion
and attitude of the respondents. Moreover
the questionnaire will solicit the degree of
judgment of the respondents.
How to write Chapter 3
C. Preparation
Make sure that there were enough items to
collect data to cover all aspects of the
problem and to answer all the specific
questions under the statement of the
problem. Then submit it to your adviser for
correction after which it was finalized.
Preparation
Example: The content of the questionnaire was
formulated by considering the proper
construction of questions. The content was
precise and brief so that the respondent can
easily answer it.
How to write Chapter 3
D. Validation
For validation purposes, the questionnaire
should be given to few respondent for them
to fill up. If the respondents have understood
and answered all questions we can say its
valid if not revise the question for more
clarity.
Validition
Example: The questions were formulated by the
researcher and were presented to the
respondent. A test will be done first to test
the validity of the questionnaire likewise if
failed some revisions will be done.
How to write Chapter 3
E. Administration and Retrieval
The copies of the questionnaire were then
distributed personally by the researcher to
the respondents. After a few days, all the
copies distributed were retrieved also
personally by the researcher.
Administration and Retrieval
Example: The questionnaire will be
administered to the employees of Quezon City
Hall. A formal letter of request will be sent to
the respondent in the upper class and middle
class level seeking the permission to allow the
researcher to conduct a survey. (elaborate)
How to write Chapter 3
F. Documentary Analysis
Checked if all questions were answered
properly. If some questions were not
answered you have to go back to the
respondent and facilitate again the survey.
Documentary Analysis
Example: The data gathered will be checked and
treated using statistical method. The answer
of the respondents will be checked to see if all
questions are properly answered.
How to write Chapter 3
F. Sampling design
Before the collection of data starts in any
research project, the proportion of the
population must be determined. The researcher
should write about the complete procedure he
used in determining his sample. Among the
things that he should explain were; size of the
population, study of population, margin of error,
proportion of the population used, type or
technique of sampling used, actual computation
of sample and the sample.
Sampling Design
Example: This paper will use the pure random
sampling. The sampling involves the selection
of the respondents by writing their names on
the paper and pick it based on the number of
percentage determined by this study. The size
of sampling was identified using specific
formula.
How to write Chapter 3
G. Treatment of data
The kind of statistical treatment depends
upon the nature of the problem, especially
the specific problems, and the nature of the
data gathered.
Treatment of Data
Example: To determine the statistical data this
study will use sample variance and sample
standard deviation. There is also a need to
measure the central tendency of the data
given by the respondents.
