Lesson 2.

1 Writing a Research Title

What I Need to Know

Humans are the most intelligent animals in the planet. They are the ones who
are kept on asking about different questions, testing different experimentations
towards about themselves, finding answers on the events, their environment and the
world around them. Research is asking questions and finding answers. It is more
likely looking into something, looking for something or either comparing and
contrasting things. It is more about finding out more information. It has counting
things, making inquiries, being curious and finding out what people think, finding out
what people do, finding out what works and what does not work.

 What Is It

Research can be conducted for our own benefits, through asking questions,
observing, simply watching, counting or reading. Formally, it can be done for
medical or academic purposes, as a marketing strategy for business purposes, to
inform and influence politics, policy and regulations. Research may be carried out
into our lives through media, into our place to work, with our friends and with our
family or even through reading previous researches. Our views may depend on our
personal, social, and psychological interactions, even in our own identities that are
socially constructed through our own theorizing. Research gives us information
about:
1. Attitudes 4. Cultures and Norms
2. Habits 5. Medical information
3.Scientific facts 6. Thoughts and opinions

The nature of writing research is associated with curiosity and intellectual

discovery to understand the society and social processes, as well as to test and to
create theories. Through research, we are informed and be able to address social
problems and potentially 'improve' social conditions and concerns. It is also to give
possible community intervention that might address the needs of particular
community issues.

Sources for Research Problem DRAFT

• Other studies, particularly their research recommendations

• National/international trends or situations to be described or improved
• Real-life problems, issues, experiences, or situations of Grade 12 students

Possible Grade 12 Research Problems

• Bashing and Fake news in Social Media (Humanities)
• Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation
• Contested Islands in Philippine Sea

• Virtual Learning

Guidelines in Writing Research Titles

1. Condenses the paper’s content in a few words
• Research title is typically around 10 to 12 words long.
• Lengthy research title may seem unfocused and take the readers’ attention
away from an important point.
2. Captures the readers’ attention
• Simple, brief and attractive title will capture reader’s attention.
3. Should contain key words used in the manuscript and define the nature of the
study.

19
 4. Must include terms people would use to search for your study and include
them in your title.

Features of Research Titles

 Lists key variables, scientific/technical style, 12 words maximum (concise:
omit unnecessary words like ‘the’), non-repetitive words
 Reflects social science, humanities, art in Grade 12 context

 What Is It

Generally speaking, a research problem is a situation that needs a solution.

Statement of the problem describes an issue currently existing which needs to be
addressed. It also provides the context for the research study. It generates the
questions which the research study aims to answer. Statement of a problem is
a clear description of the issue(s). It includes the objectives, an issue statement, and
a method to be used in solving the problem. Nevertheless objectivity can be
incorporated by answering questions such as:
Is the problem of current interest?
Is the problem likely to continue in the future?
How large is the population being affected by the problem?
How popular, important or influential is the population?
Will the gathered information about the problem have practical applications?
Will the gathered information about the problem have theoretical applications?
Would this study create or improve an instrument?
Would this research findings lead to some useful change towards best practices?

Common Sources of Research Problem / Statement of the Problem

 A reproduction of a previous related studies
 Personal experiences and interests of the researchers
 Related Literature from one’s own area of interest
DRAFT

 Various theories in the discipline

Guidelines in Writing Statement of the Problem

1. Put the problem in the context
(What do we already know?)
2. Describe the precise issue that the research will address
(What do we need to know?)
3. Show the relevance of the problem
(Why do we need to know it?)
4. Set the objectives of the research
(What will you do to find out?)

The statement of the problem could end with questions. Typically, the
questions could contain two variables, measurable relationship and some indications
of the population. The purpose of the literature review that follows thereafter is to
answer the research questions. If the literature cannot answer the questions, the
research needs to do so through conducting the research.
Example:
What is the relationship between the farm productivity and farmer use of
fertilizer?
The information needed are:
(1) farm productivity level (2) measure of fertilizer use

30
 What Is It

The scope of the study basically means all those things that will be covered in
the research project. The limitations of the study are those characteristics of design
that have impact or influence in the interpretation of the findings of your research.
On the other hand, scope of the study refers to how far the research area has
been explored and has been operating within parameters of the study.
The following are two types of information to be included in the scope of the
research project.
 Facts - refer to pieces of information that are being used as evidences to
prove that a study undergoes successive experiment or actual gathering of
data.

 Theories –are ideas or principles gathered from different sources like books or
articles from the internet. It is just a presumption of a desired explanation to
support the study.

Features in Formulating Scope and Limitations of the Study

1. State categorically the periods covered by the study
2. List specific aspects of the data, such as:
DRAFT

 Personal information
 sample size
 geographic location
 variables
3. List the academic theories applied to the data so the reader knows the lens
of analysis you are using.

Example/s:
If you are writing this topic entitled: “The Role of Mass Media in Educational
Development of Lala National High School from 2010-2020”, the scope of the study
is going to include its several roles within the time frame stated. It should also state
Mass Media types used in the analysis of the study including locations and sample
size used.
Here is an example of the scope of the study of the given title.
The scope of the study is limited to the role of Mass Media in educational
development of Lala National High School from 2010 to 2020. The scope of mass
media equipment that is being used are the television, radio and other electronic sets
which are meant to give out information objectively through their effective usage to

In this lesson, you are going to inquire information from other sources that
might give you an idea or guide you to find answers on your problems or queries.
The review of relevant literature is a major part of research activity.

The main reason why you need to review literature is for you to establish
knowledge or idea about your research topic. This activity is not only searching
references such as books or journals from the library or internet but also searching
references that will enrich your knowledge and will guide you in solving problems.
The purpose of this lesson is for you to review information related to your research
topic.

What Is It

Lesson 3.1. Selecting Relevant Literature

One of the skills you need to develop in order to become a successful
researcher is the ability to review and report relevant literature. A literature review is
a survey of everything that has been done about a particular topic, theory, or
research question. It may provide the background for larger work, or it may stand on
its own. DRAFT

What is Literature Review? Literature review or review of related

literature is a synthesis of different published articles relevant to the researcher’s
main topic which requires proper citation as credits to the source of ideas that they
contain. If one fails to cite sources, the paper losses its credibility.

A. Purposes of Review of Related Literature

1. To improve your knowledge and understanding of your topic

2. To determine what each source contributes to the topic
3. To integrate and summarize what is known in a particular topic
4. To understand the relationship between various contributions, identify and
resolve contradictions, and determine gaps or unanswered questions

B. How to Evaluate Literature

1. Examine the title. The title should indicate the nature of research without
describing the results. An example of a good title is “Parental Involvement in
Schooling and Reduced Discipline Problems among Junior High School
Students in NCR”.

2. Read the abstract. A good abstract provides you the purpose of the study, the
methods used and its major findings.

40
 3. Read the literature. Start by scanning the whole material and read the
conclusion. This will give a picture of what the literature is all about.

In writing a good literature review, you must be selective that you only include the
most relevant literatures, and be comprehensive that you include studies that are
highly relevant and not to omit important ones.

C. Sources of Literatures

1. General references- sources that are first accessed by researchers to give

them information about other sources. Examples: books, monographs,
conference proceedings.

2. Primary sources- sources that provides first-hand information about experts’

and other researchers’ publication. Examples: interviews, observations

3. Secondary sources- sources that are written by authors to describe another

researcher’s works. Examples: textbooks, academic and research journals

4. Tertiary sources- books and articles based on secondary sources.

Lesson 3.2 Citing Related Literature Using Standard Styles

All the relevant literatures that you have reviewed offer you concepts and
DRAFT

ideas belonging to other people. To give respect to the owners of those varied forms
of knowledge, you must acknowledge them through proper citation. Proper citation
and referencing standards is a requirement for all written research projects.

A. Purposes of Citation
1. To give importance and respect to other people for what they know about the
field
2. To give the authority, validity, and credibility to other people’s claims,
conclusions, and arguments
3. To prove your broad and extensive reading of authentic and relevant
materials about your topic
4. To help readers find or contact the sources of ideas easily
5. To permit readers to check the accuracy of your work
6. To save yourself from plagiarism

B. Citation Styles
In this section, we will discuss the three common citation styles used in
academic research: (1) American Psychological Association (APA), (2) Modern
Language Association (MLA), and (3) Chicago Manual of Style.

1. APA Style Guide- this citation style is commonly used by Education, Psychology,

Lesson 3.3 Synthesizing Information from Relevant

Literature
DRAFT

Writing the review of related literature does not only end to selecting relevant
literature and proper citation, but also requires you to combine or synthesize
important ideas and findings from the reviewed literature to provide your reader a
better understanding about your topic. To synthesis is to make conclusions about
your findings in related literature reviewed so that you will know how your references
helped you address your research questions. This section discusses the types and
techniques in writing a synthesis.

What is a synthesis?

Synthesis is the combining of literatures from different sources to create a

structured review of related literature. All the ideas gathered will be presented,
organized and summarized in the syntheses. When synthesizing, your ability to infer
relationships like comparing characteristics of one object to another will be helpful.

A. Type of Syntheses

1. Explanatory synthesis. Using this type of synthesis will only require you to
present facts in an objective manner. Presenting descriptions and sequence
of events will help in your explanation.
In the explanatory synthesis, you explain the similarities and
differences between two texts that cover the same topic. You must write this
essay objectively; you cannot show favoritism toward one text over the other,
nor can you express your own opinions or judgments. You must remain
neutral (walton.uark.edu).

43
 Example:
1. Combine your paraphrase of the source texts’ theses with the names
of the articles and their authors.
Mary Bates argues against censorship in “Banning Censorship,” while
Michael Thorpe counters that censorship is an important resource in
“Censorship: A Necessary Evil.”
2. Present your essay map, which identifies the similarities and
differences between the two texts and the order in which you will discuss
them.
Bates and Thorpe agree that a world without censorship would be
ideal, but they disagree on two fronts: first, whether it is ethical, and second,
whether it is practical.

2. Argument synthesis. This type of synthesis is used when you want to present
your point of view. This can be supported by presenting facts in a logical
manner.

B. Categories of Sources

Fraenkel (2015) as cited by Prieto et al. (2017), enumerated the categories of

sources from where you culled data and information in the literature review:
1. Documents. These references maybe published or unpublished references,
original works or copies and other written or printed materials such as books,
reports, etc.
2. Numerical Records. These include test scores, census reports, school
budget and attendance figures.
DRAFT

3. Oral Statements. These include stories, myths, legends, chants, songs, etc.
These materials leave a record for future generations.
4. Relics. These are formal types of historical sources such as furniture
artwork, clothing, building, and equipment.

How to write a synthesis?

The following are ways to write a synthesis (Prieto et al. 2017)

1. Consider your purpose in writing
2. Select and read carefully your sources according to your purpose.
3. Formulate a thesis.
4. Decide how you will use source
5. Develop an organizational plan according to your thesis
6. Write the first draft of synthesis
7. Revise your synthesis

C. Techniques for writing a synthesis

1. Summary- Write all the relevant information and sources.

2. Example or illustration- Include examples and illustration in your synthesis. It
will help you in your explanation.

44
 3. Two (or more) reasons- Simply state your thesis, and give reasons why it is
true.
4. Comparison and contrast- It is effective method when you want to highlight
the similarities and differences.

Activity 1.3.5 Squeeze the Gist

It was cool Monday morning when Liza got from bed and in a hurry to prepare
herself in going to school when suddenly she remembered that her teacher in
Practical Research 2 gave them assignment of which she forgot to do. Do you know
what her assignment was? In her mind, she wanted to ask from somebody about
synthesizing information from related literature. Can you help her? If so, then
congratulate yourself for you have done a good job! Jot down here below how to
synthesize information of related literature.

What is It

Mona was sad one early morning upon hearing the request of her
grandmother which was not the same with what she told her an hour ago. She got
confused which one is to be followed. As obedient as she was to her grandmother,
she told herself that she must follow all the requests considering that her
grandmother is now suffering Alzheimer. She said that if only her grandmother is not
that old, she would be giving her command as direct and consistent as before.
Basically, that is what you need to do in writing coherent review of literature.
You must observe consistency in your presentation. Read the statement that follows
to give you an idea of how you will write your Review of literature coherently.
Let us first look at this; coherence directs to a well- organized and unified
piece of writing. It also holds how the manuscript is put together in a uniform manner
where thoughts are connected consistently.

47
 Coherent review includes the following:

1. Review APA Guidelines/Chicago Guidelines

2. Decide on a topic
3. Identify the literature that you will review
4. Analyse the literature
5. Summarize the literature in table or concept map format
6. Synthesize the literature prior to writing the review
7. Writing the review (Galvan, 2006, 81 – 90)

What are research ethics? According to Clemente et al. (2016), ethics can
be defined as the process of applying moral standards and principles in any
undertaking. This lesson focuses on the review of related literature following the
ethical standards in writing and your research as a whole. It includes honesty and
other ethical principles in research.

Plagiarism refers to act of using ideas and information created by other

people, but without attribution to them (Barrot, 2017). It is the most common form of
scientific misconduct that can damage one’s credibility if one fails to cite a source.

A. Various Forms of Plagiarism

There are many forms of plagiarism, which may vary in different institutions.
The following are the most common types of plagiarism recognized by Torneo and
Torneo (2017):
DRAFT

Cut and Paste

It is the most common form of plagiarism that involves copying the text word-
per-word without recognizing the source.

Mosaic Plagiarism
Involves in copying text from another source and changing several words,
while maintaining the original structure of the sentence.

Misattribution Plagiarism
It is another form of plagiarism that involves attributing an excerpt, quote or an
idea to the wrong author, or the incorrect source – or worse, a nonexistent source.

Self-Plagiarism
It is another way of scientific dishonesty that is committed in two instances,
duplication and replication. Duplication is done when the researcher copied the
contents of his/her own work from the previous research without proper attribution.
Replication on the other hand is another serious act for which the researcher submits
ones work multiple times.

Fabrication
It is another area of scientific dishonesty that involves in “making up data” and
claiming this as fact.

48
Falsification
A scientific dishonesty committed when the researcher produce and
manipulates the data of other researchers.

Having laid down all types of plagiarism, you as a researcher is expected to

follow the rules and proper usage and citation of sources. Any deviation from the
protocols or failure to follow rules may result to scientific dishonesty. However, all
this scientific dishonesty can be avoided if you will paraphrase and summarize the
sources carefully and acknowledge them in your paper.

Lesson 3.5 Formulating a Conceptual Framework

What’s In

What is a conceptual framework? Why do we need such concepts in

research? How to prepare one? This lesson explains the meaning of a conceptual
framework. A simplified example is added to support the reader’s understanding.

Several theories and concepts that may support your study may encounter as
you look for a related literature for your topic. This conceptual framework will serve
as a “backbone” that will direct you to the whole research activity.

What is a conceptual framework? Conceptual framework as defined by Barrot

(2017) it refers to a system of ideas, beliefs, assumptions and theories that inform,
supports and cater specifically to your study. It guides the planning, development,
and implementation of the research study that you choose.

 What is It

Different ways of presenting conceptual framework

There are different ways of presenting a conceptual framework as organized

by Torneo and Torneo (2017). One can decide to do the following:

1. Diagram

This visual diagram will show the interconnections and relationships among
the variables and the different elements of your study. Accordingly, it’s the most
preferred way by the researchers since it is easier for the readers to visualize the
ideas that they are discussing in their research.

There are many designs used in formulating a conceptual framework, but

most of the researchers have their own design and utilized in their study. Here are
some examples of the simple conceptual framework.

An Example of A Conceptual Framework

Demographic
Profile Parenting Styles
Self-Esteem
DRAFT

Age
Authoritative
Civil Status
High
Educational
Attainment Moderate Democratic

Order in the
Low
Family Permissive
Economic
Status

Figure 2. An Example of Conceptual Framework (Work-up and Diagram)

(Source: Prieto et al., 2017)

53
 The example of conceptual framework presents a series of concepts and
ideas and direct outlook of a design research project.

2. Narrative Discussion

Another way of presenting a conceptual framework is a narrative discussion in

which, you reiterate the general assumption of your study, grounded from a theory –
then proceed to discussing the specific relationships assumed to be observed in the
study.

Example:

Assumptions of social capital, primarily based on the interpretations of

Putnam (1994; 2001) and Fukuyama (2011) and theories of participatory
development, stresses the role of civil society participation to improve
development outcomes. This study, examining countries from the Southeast
Asia, hypothesizes that CSO consultation and CSO repression impacts
income and education inequality. CSO consultation is expected to be
negatively correlated to both income and education inequality, while CSO
repression is seen as a contributing factor to the persistence and increase in
income and education inequality.

3. Sets of Propositions
This conceptual framework involves a series of hypotheses that makes use of
various measurements and assumes varying directions of the relationship among
variables.
DRAFT

Example:

Hypothesis: Increases in government investments in education and health will:

1. Positively and significantly affect average family income.
2. Positively and significantly affect productivity.
3. Negatively and significantly affect poverty incidence.
4. Negatively and significantly affect unemployment rate.

5. Mathematical Equation or Model

This form of the conceptual framework is common to the researches that
require computations or are highly mathematical in nature.

Example:

Equation 1. Basic Gravity Model of Migration

based on Ravenstein’s (1895, 1898) Laws of Migration

The equation sees migration as a function of population and distance and some
constant K. Mij is the number of migrants moving from place i, Pj is the population of
place j, and Dij is the distance between place i and j (Torneo, 2014).

.Lesson 3.6 Defining Terms Used in Study

What’s In

In previous lesson, you have learned the meaning of a conceptual

framework. It illustrated how to simplify and frame a concept to support the reader’s
understanding. In connection to the new lesson, you will be able to learn the proper
way of defining appropriate terms needed in the research paper.

What’s New

Activity 1.3.13 Look into my Words

Directions: List and write in the column provided the words needed to be defined in
each research title.
RESEARCH TITLES LIST OF TERMS

Satisfaction

What Is It

Definition of terms in research usually served as an annex to a work

(book, research paper, and etc.) This is an important part of a research paper or
any report in which the key or important terms in the study are clearly defined. In
modern usage, a definition is something, typically expressed in words that are
attached to a meaning of a word or group of words.
Guidelines in Listing Definition of Terms
1. Keep the definition brief and basic.
2. Avoid using passive phrases when defining your term.
3. Do not repeat part of the defined term in your definition.

What Is It

In our science class, we are taught that hypothesis is something more than a
wild guess but less than a well-established theory. It is a tentative statement about
the relationship between two or more variables. It is a specific, testable prediction
about what you expected to happen in a study. Below are the guidelines in listing
hypotheses if you are doing a scientific research.

58
Guidelines in Listing Hypotheses (only applicable in scientific research)
1. Let the question comes first.
2. Write your hypothesis in a statement form, not a question.
3. Make it clear.
4. Keep the variables in mind.
5. Make sure your hypothesis is "testable."
