Except for the title headings, sections and subsections, each of the research studies follows a specific format Therefore the adviser must accordingly give the necessary guidelines to the student for the same. 4. Both the adviser and student must occasionally refer to the rules applicable fo technical writing including the format and style required in writing quality theses and dissertations. 5. When dealing with abbreviations, numbers, acronyms and figures, they must also refer to relevant references on technical writing. 6.

It also discusses other similar interventions by others to address the same. It is important to cite here that despite several researches done in past, there are still problems or gaps in the technology, practice or information. This is where the statement of the problem is embedded; hence, conduct of the study is justified. Objectives of the Study This presents the general and specific objectives of the study. The general objective is stated in paragraph form, stating what the problem is all about, and what the researcher aims to achieve in general. Next; the researcher enumerates the specific objectives. This covers the |) things he expects to generate based on the specific parameters considered; and 2) the relationships between variables (parameters), if any. Scope and Limitations of the Study This section explains the scope’ of the study. For example, the study will be conducted to measure only the growth performance of the experimental plants and that the experiment will be conducted during the dry months rather than during the months when rain is evenly distributed. It also explains the limitations of the study such as if the plants will be grown in 9"x16" polyethylene bags and not in the open field. Significance of the Study Here the significant contribution of the results of the study is explained, expounded or elaborated. For instance, cite in what way the practitioners will benefit from the results. Similarly, if policymakers can make use of the results to create laws regarding the same, they must also be explained. Definition of Terms This includes the operational definition of the variables (parameters) and other important terms used in the study that may have different meanings and interpretations in other fields. CHAPTER II REVIEW. OF LITERATURE This presents all the related studies that the researcher has gathered. It contains a brief introductory paragraph, the body, a evnthesis and conclusion. This will include ‘what other writers and researchers, have published about.the present problem, arrangel according to the subject matter discussed. Citations with more than one author—e.g. (Perez, 2004;Tiu, 2007; Reyes, 2008)—can be included in the same sentence or paragraph provided they share the same idea or findings on a particular discussion. CHAPTER Hl METHODOLOGY Materials ‘The materials used in the study, including their quantities, are explained in 4graph form in this section. . Methods ‘ : The section explains the procedures followed in the conduct of the study. Because there are many steps and tasks involved, they must be arranged in a subsection, this time, to be identified as paragraph side-heads. Experimental Design and Treatments In this section, the appropriate experimental design is determined and explained. Then, the different treatments as enumerated are described. If there is a need to expand the topics under another paragraph head, then it must come as a subparagraph head, which must be indented to distinguish it from the head paragraph. Cultural Monagement and Procedures Under this section, the cultural management and procedures to be used for the test organisms (plants or animals) are described, Statistical Tocds and Analysis This explains the appropriate statistical tool to be used in analyzing the data gathered from the study. Data Anoty This section explains how the gaihi.rs.
