Introductory Message
For the facilitator:

Welcome to the Practical Research 2 Alternative Delivery Mode (ADM)

Moduleon Indicating Scope and Delimitation of the Study!
This module was collaboratively designed, developed, and reviewed by
educators both from public and private institutions to assist you, the teacher,
or facilitator in helping the learners meet the standards set by the K to 12
Curriculum while overcoming their personal, social, and economic
constraints in schooling.

This learning resource hopes to engage the learners into guided and
independent learning activities at their own pace and time. Furthermore, this
also aims to help learners acquire the needed 21st-century skills while taking
into consideration their needs and circumstances.

In addition to the material in the main text, you will also see this box in
the body of the module:

Notes to the Teacher

In view to the new normal world we are facing,
this module was created to answer that education
should not stop for our learners.
This Practical Research 2 Module for Quarter
1 is all about Indicating Scope and Delimitation of
the Study. With this we are trying to allow our
learners to work independently in discovering
through simple and enjoyable activities/
experimentation that are aligned to the
competencies that they should learn.

As a facilitator, you are expected to orient the learners on how to use

this module. You also need to keep track of the learners' progress while
allowing them to manage their learning. Furthermore, you are expected to
encourage and assist the learners as they do the tasks included in the module.

What is It

A.
The scope and delimitation of the
study sets boundaries and parameters of
the problem inquiry and narrows down the
scope of the inquiry. The scope is the
domain of your research-what is in the
domain, and what is not. You need to make
as clear as possible what you will be
studying and what factors are within the
accepted range of your study.

B.
Scope and delimitations are two elements of a research paper or thesis.
The scope of a study explains the extent to which the research area will be
explored in the work and specifies the parameters within which the study
will be operating. For example, let us say a researcher wants to study the
impact of mobile phones on the behavior patterns of elementary school
children. However, it is not possible for the researcher to cover every aspect
of the topic. So, the scope will have to be narrowed down to a certain section
of the target population. In this case, the scope might be narrowed down to
a group of 50 children in grades 3-5 of one specific school. Their behavior
patterns in school may have been observed for a duration of 6 months.
These would form the delimitations of the study.
Thus, delimitations are the characteristics that limit the scope and describe
the boundaries of the study, such as the sample size, geographical location
or setting in which the study takes place, population traits, etc.

Guidelines in writing the scope and delimitation

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 or the entity
to which the data belong.
4. The population or universe from which the respondents were
selected. This must be large enough to generalizations significant.
5. The period of the study. This is the time, either months or years,
during which the data were gathered.

What’s More

Exercise 1

Directions: Using the guidelines in writing the scope and delimitation

evaluate the given sample below by supplying the needed data
in the table.

Title of the Study: Consumers’ Response to PETA’s Advocacy Advertisements on

Vegetarianism

The study was conducted to find out the consumers’ responses

toward vegetarianism in advocacy advertisements. The researcher chose
vegetarianism among many advocacy issues; the reason for this is that
vegetarianism is a growing consumer market. The aspects studied were the
respondents’ feedback to selected most popular advertisements of PETA
toward vegetarianism, how the advertisements catch attention and
interest, how they affect lifestyles, and how they generate action.

What is the general purpose of the

study?
What are the subject
matter/topics studied?
What is the population of the
study?
What is the locale of the study?
What is the period of the study?

Exercise 2:
