Significance of The Study

The document discusses how to identify beneficiaries and benefits of research. It states that research should aim to improve quality of life. Researchers should identify groups who directly and indirectly benefit from their study, from most direct to indirect. They should then discuss the specific benefits each group would receive by addressing how the study helps solve existing problems.

SIGNIFICANCE OF

THE STUDY
BENEFITS/BENEFICIARIES
BENEFITS AND BENEFICIARIES OF RESEARCH

Research has only one main objective and that


is the upliftment of the quality of life. Thus, you have
to be convinced that this study of yours would
lead to the ultimate goal of improving people’s
lives, not just to comply with a requirement.
BENEFITS AND BENEFICIARIES OF RESEARCH

To be able to do this, you may identify the groups who would


eventually benefit from your study, starting from the most direct
beneficiaries to the ones who would be indirectly benefited by it.
The study on the job satisfaction and job performance would
probably directly benefit the employees, their clients, the HR
Managers and indirectly, the Department of Labor and Employment,
the community, the society as a whole.
BENEFITS AND BENEFICIARIES OF RESEARCH

After identifying the beneficiaries of the study, discuss the


specific benefit that they would get from it: that is, by discussing
how the study would help in solving existing problems of these
identified groups leading towards an upliftment of their situation.
In other formats of research, this section is called “Significance of
the Study”.
HOW TO WRITE “BENEFITS AND
BENEFICIARIES/SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY”

STEP ONE
Identify the beneficiary or beneficiaries.
STEP TWO
Describe the “benefit or benefits” that will be
derived from the research or study.
If you have few beneficiaries, you can just write it in one or two
paragraphs. Explain why it is important to conduct the study and how they can
benefit from it.
If you have many beneficiaries, you can use the following format:
1. 1st paragraph- Why is it important to conduct this study?
2. 2nd paragraph- The main beneficiary – either a group or an organization
3. 3rd paragraph- The secondary beneficiary
4. 4th paragraph- The importance of the study to the researchers
5. 5th paragraph- The importance to future researchers
ASPECTS OF SIGNIFICANCE

Significance for Theory


In this section of the problem statement, the researcher can
outline the research study’s contribution to fundamental knowledge
by describing how the study fits into the theoretical traditions in
the sciences or applied fields in ways that will be new, insightful or
creative (Marshall and Rossman, 1995).
Significance for Policy and Practice
The significance of a study for policy and
practice can be established by presenting data to
show how often the problem occurs and how
costly it can be.

SIGNIFICANCE OF STUDY FROM


ACTUAL STUDIES
TITLE OF THE STUDY: THE EFFECTS OF COMPUTER-ASSISTED
INSTRUCTION IN THE PERFORMANCE OF STUDENTS IN
ASIAN HISTORY AND CIVILIZATION (CUENCA, 2008)

The findings of this study may provide deeper insights on how teaching can be made easier and more
meaningful by the use of computer-aided instruction. The study determined the significant effects of slide presentation
in instruction, a form of computer instruction on the performance of the students in the subjects Asian History and
Civilization.
To the students, the results may serve as an inspiration for them to continuously improve their skills in
using computers because they will realize the comfort that computer skills offer in complying with the requirements of
major subjects in the coming years.
To the administrators, the results may serve as a guide in the program-planning and implementation of the
IT department so that they can be of great help to the teachers of the university.
To the teachers, the results may serve as an eye opener for those who are not comfortable on the use of
computers in their class lesson presentations. The findings of this study may encourage more of them to apply
computer-aided instruction in teaching.
3.TITLE OF THE STUDY: STAFF NURSES’ ROLES ON THE ACCURACY
OF SPECIMEN COLLECTION IN SELECTED GOVERNMENT AND
PRIVATE HOSPITALS IN BULACAN: RELATIONS TO THEIR WORK
PERFORMANCE (REYES, 2007)
The results of this study will be of great benefit to the following:
Clinical Instructors. The results of the study will provide them research-based information as to the extent
of participation engaged in infection control. From the results, they could identify which areas they need to enhance
and improve as well as the areas needed to be sustained for better implementation.
Head Nurses. This will provide a clear picture of the performance of their subordinate nurses. This will
enable them to give emphasis in supervising and coaching the staff nurses so as to increase their level of performance.
Furthermore, this will determine the type of management skills that head nurses need to function effectively in the
organization and will shed light on areas in the current management practices that needed to be worked up.
Nursing Personnel. This study will provide information on the extent of managerial skills that the head
nurse actually employs. This can be realized if these nurses become aware of their behavior towards others which
must be in accord with the standard values of the nursing profession.
PRACTICE TASK 1 (BY RESEARCH GROUP):

Directions: Read the foregoing text from the


study of Rafanan (2012). Identify the beneficiaries
and benefits by completing the table. Use your
answer sheet.
This study evaluated the effectiveness of the on-going Scholarship Program of the Municipality of Castillejos
with the hope that findings would prove useful to the following:

The policymakers may review the existing Scholarship Ordinance and consider certain amendments
which are necessary for the improvement of the Scholarship Program.
The implementers may consider the findings of this study in strengthening the implementation of the
program.
The scholars were given an opportunity to raise their sentiments regarding the program and further
benefit in the improved implementation of the program.
Public Officials in general may find that evaluation of public programs is necessary in public
administration and can be used as a powerful tool for them to know if the program is delivering the intended
impact.
And lastly the future public administration students may find this useful for any program evaluation
research.
