 What I Need to Know

In the previous module, you have learned that choosing a research topic needs
a lot of consideration and thinking. Not only that research should be focused
and well-defined, but it should also be well-timed and contributive to a field
or discipline. In accordance to the guidelines and steps discussed, you were
able to determine your topic to be investigated. Now that you have a research
problem in mind, this module will harness you on how to write the basic parts
of a research paper.

After this module, you are expected to:

1. identify the following parts of a research paper:

a. background of the study
b. statement of the problem
c. research hypothesis (for quantitative research)
d. significance of the study
e. scope and delimitation of the study
f. conceptual framework
g. definition of terms
2. describe the importance of each part of the research paper; and
formulate clearly the statement of the problem.

 Lesson
Identifying the Problem and
1 Asking the Questions
Starting a research investigation is similar to embarking on a journey. First,
you have to project a clear picture of your destination. You have already
accomplished this initial step as you have trimmed down your area of interest
into a specific research problem in the previous module. The next step is to
strategize how to arrive at the destination.

One way to strategize is to pinpoint all the factors and considerations that
may affect the route towards your goal. This module discusses these
contributing elements which will also serve as the bedrock of your study.

What’s In

One of the purposes of research is to address the pressing issues in the

society. As a student who is a keen observer and is aware of the local, national
or international affairs, list down three crucial concerns in your community
and propose a solution for each. Use your notebook. (15 points each)

Problem 1 Problem 2 Problem 3

 Notes to the Teacher
This module will help the learners to understand the initial parts
of a research paper. For a better understanding of each part,
research samples are given which will also enable them to write the
parts accordingly.

What’s New

Analyze the information given in the research scenario below. Answer the
following questions briefly on your notebook. (5 points each)

A group of student-researchers from Jose C. Payumo Jr. Memorial

High School intends to conduct a study on the effectiveness of the
implementation of the policies related to Tobacco Free Generation
(TFG) program in Dinalupihan, Bataan. Medical doctors, nurses
and volunteers in Singapore started the said program in 2016 and
was adopted by Bataan in the same year. TFG founder, Dr. Koong
Heng Nung, considered Bataan as the first province to adopt this
campaign. According to Koong (2018), TFG aims to educate and
encourage the youths to be part of the tobacco free generation.

 1. Why do 2. Who
you think should be
there is a the
need to Reason 1: respondent

study? study?

Reason 2:

What is It

Now that you have clearly formulated a research problem, the next step is to
accomplish the baseline of your research paper. You must explain the context
of your study by giving its background. This may aid you in identifying your
specific questions for your statement of the problem as well as your hypothesis.
There is also a need to list down the beneficiaries of your research which will
be presented in the significance of the study. You must also set the boundaries
of your study by writing your scope and delimitation. A definition of terms must
also be furnished to facilitate understanding of your study. These parts are
discussed as follows:

A. The background of the study is an explanation of the context of study

which involves the current data or status of the problem, existing studies
about it and its history that paved way to the development of the research
problem. It explicates the rationale why you, as a researcher, are
conducting the study. Writing this particular part of the paper may lead
you to your research questions.

As you write the background of the study or introduction, take into

consideration the following guidelines:

1. It should clearly state the reason for conducting the study.

2. It should move from broad to specific.
3. It should state the current condition of the research problem.
5
Prior to writing and reading various literature and studies, making an outline
is a helpful tip to facilitate the process. Here is an example of an outline of the
background of the study:

Schools Research Committee Cum Crafting Research Write Ups, 2019.

Example of a Background of the Study

Title of the Study: Nami Plant Extract as Termite Repellent

According to Eiseman (2010) in his article which focused

on termites, termites cause less than 75-80% of damage Discussion from a
holistic or world

economically due to home, wood and crop infestation in North

America. He stated that the reason is that termites are drawn
to their food source and that makes them drawn to any type of
wood like timber, logs, firewood and other wood made
topic or focus of the study
A condition related to the

structures. He also added that termites can be harmful to

humans due to its bites that may cause any allergic reaction.
Vulcan (2017) enumerated different tips that can help
in preventing termites from eating wood and one of it is using
a treatment like Rust Oleum, a named product used to paint
wood to prevent termite’s infestation. This

6
 has been proven effective; however, the price is relatively
expensive.
On the other hand, Onwueme (2016) published an
article about an intoxicating yam named Dioscorea hispida.
Yam is a root crop which contains poisonous alkanes that are
harmful to human’s health. It can cause nausea and vomiting
if its ripe fruit is ingested in the body. Although it has toxic
content; it can be a source of food. Due to food scarcity and
famine in some parts of the Philippines, this can be an
alternative to rice given its abundance. Its toxicity can be
removed once boiled.

Factors contributing to
the focus of the study
As described by Dukar (2012), intoxicating yam is a
twining vine, arising from tuberous roots, and reaching a
length of several meters. Juice of underground stems reported
to possess narcotic properties. It is found in the Himalayas,
from Nepal to Sikkim, at altitudes up to 1500 m, and also in
the tropics of Asia from South India to Taiwan, Philippines,
New Guinea.
Mat (2013) conducted a study regarding Dioscorea
hispida Dennst which is the Malaysian term for “yam.” In their
previous ethnobotanical survey carried out on the Malay
villagers in Pulau Redang, Kuala Terengganu district of
Terengganu, it was found out that Dioscorea hispida tuber is
used as food, traditional medicines to treat diabetes and
shingle infestation, for de-worming as well as fish poison. On
the other hand, the villagers of Sainnamari and Thanarbaid,
Tangail, Bangladesh had used the poisonous tuber paste of
Dioscorea as poison in hunting.
Current condition in the

While in the Philippines, Nami or intoxicating yam was

investigated to have some insecticidal properties in this root
crop. In the late research of the Department of Science and
research locale

Technology (DOST), they had proven that this species of yam

the study
Reason of the conduct of

has various chemical compositions that may negatively affect

some various insects. Moreover, the seed also has some poison
mimicking cyanide intoxication.
With this being said, the researches aim to formulate a
product with this intoxicating yam by disregarding its toxicity
and instead using it as an advantage. The researchers intend
to make a cheap, inorganic termite wood repellent.

B. The next part to be accomplished is the statement of the problem. Aside
from being a tool in solving dilemmas in the society, another purpose of
research is to guide people towards a better understanding of phenomena,
human behavior, human interactions and other events in daily life. This
premise indicates the importance of meticulously crafting of the research
questions as it sets the focus and drives the course of the study.

The statement of the problem has two parts:

1. General statement of the problem/Objective

2. Specific research questions

➢ How to formulate general statement of the problem

The purpose of this ethnographic study (type of study) is to describe

(exploratory and non- directional verb) the training (central phenomenon
of the study) of Aeta teachers from Castillejos, Zambales (participants) for
the past ten years (when) to provide insights into the formulation of a
continuing education model for indigenous teachers (purpose). (Creswell and
Clark, 2014)

➢ How to formulate specific question or sub-questions:

1. Begin the research questions with the “WHAT?” or “HOW”

explanation of the research design. (Qualitative)

2. “WHY?” implies an explanation of an occurrence and suggests a

cause- and-effect type of thinking. (Quantitative)

3. Focus on a single phenomenon or concept.

• 4. Use exploratory verbs. The study will: discover (grounded

theory); seek to understand (ethnography); explore the process
of (case study); describe the experiences of (phenomenology);
report the stories (narrative research).
• Qualitative research uses exploratory and non-directional
verbs.
• Quantitative research uses directional verbs such as: affect;
5. Expectinfluence;
effect; research questions
impact; to evolve and
cause; changerelate;
relation; during and
the
study in
determine. a manner consistent with the assumptions of the
emerging design.
8
 6. Use open-ended questions without reference to the literature
or theory unless otherwise indicated by a qualitative strategy
of inquiry.

7. Specify the participants and the research site of the study, if

the information is not yet given.

Example of Specific Research Questions

Title of the Study: Perpetuity of Family-owned Business in the Philippines: A

Causal Model

This study seeks answers to the following questions:

1. What external factors in the enabling environment influence the family

business perpetuity in terms of political, economic, social, technological,
environmental and legal?
2. What internal factors in the enabling environment influence the family business
perpetuity in terms of succession, planning, family stability, stewardship,
family constitution, innovation, flexibility, philosophy of commitment,
productivity-based management, governance power, and professional
education?
3. What causal model best explains the perpetuity of family-owned business using
the interplay and external factors?

Philippines: A causal model” Unpublished Doctoral Dissertation, University of Sto.
Tomas, 2016.

C. A hypothesis is a preconceived idea, assumed to be true and is tested for

its truth or falsity. It has two types: the null hypothesis and alternative
hypothesis. The null hypothesis indicates that there is no significant
difference between specified populations or variables. This is the
hypothesis the researcher will try to disprove or discredit. An alternative
hypothesis, on the other hand, is one that states that there is a significant
relationship between specified populations or variables.

9
 Example of a Null Hypothesis: Example of an Alternative
Hypothesis:
There is no significant difference
between the reading There is a significant difference
comprehension skills of between the reading
controlled group and comprehension skills of
experimental group before and controlled group and
after the differentiated experimental group before and
instruction. after the intervention
differentiated instruction.

Note that not all studies have hypothesis. Sometimes a study is designed
to be exploratory.

D. The significance of the study pinpoints the benefits certain groups of

people will gain from the findings of the study. It must start from the most
to the least benefitted ones.

Example of Significance of the Study

Title of the Study: Effects of Verbal Bullying to the Academic Performance of

Grade 9 Students in Jose C. Payumo Jr. Memorial High School

Significance of the Study

Verbal bullying is one of the leading causes of mental illnesses such as

depression, anxiety disorder and mood disorder. School, as studies reported,
is one of the places this type of bullying perpetuates in. Despite the many
policies implemented to reduce the cases of verbal bullying, still the problem
continuously takes place.

This study focuses on the effects of verbal bullying to the academic

performance of grade 9 students in Jose C Payumo Jr. Memorial High School
S. Y. 2019-2020.

The result of this study will be valuable to the following:

To the students, this will provide them knowledge about the forms of bullying
and how to deal with it once encountered.

10
 To the school administrators, the result of this study may provide information
and may serve as a basis to encourage them to make regulations about the
problem. In addition, this may lead them to assuring the full and strong
implementation of the existing policies on bullying.

To the teachers, the findings of this study may help them to spread awareness
on how destructive verbal bullying can be. Constant guidance from the
teachers can also be an upshot of this study. Moreover, teachers may
conceptualize activities or other solutions to create a positive and friendly
atmosphere inside their classrooms.

To the parents, this study may inform them on the possible negative
circumstances like bullying that may happen to their children. As an effect,
this may encourage them to guide their children properly.

To the future researchers, this study will serve as a basis for related topics. A
continuation of this study may be done to fill in the gaps of this research that
may result to proactive solutions to counter any form of bullying.

Memorial High School, 2020.

E. Scope and Delimitations of the Study states the coverage of the study.
It must answer the following parameters as much as possible:

What • the topic and the variables to be included

Why • the general objectives

Where • the specific locale

When • the time frame

How • research design,instrument and methodology

11
 Example of Scope and Delimitation of the Study
Title of the Study: An Assessment on the Impact of Farm-to-Market Road
Projects in Pola, Oriental Mindoro

WHERE This study was conducted in six Barangays of Pola, Oriental

Mindoro, namely: Barangay Calubasanhon, Barangay Malibago, Barangay
Maluanlaun, Barangay Pahilahan, and Barangay Pula. WHO The population
considered was limited to those households who were directly affected by the
constructed INFRES farm-to-market Road Project.

WHAT AND WHY The study was concerned with (1) the impact of the
constructed INFRES Farm-to-Market Road Project on the respondents; and
(2) the relationship between construction of roads and its impact, only in
terms of the answered Household Survey Questionnaire and perception of
respondents and key officials. The condition of the respondents was to be
described also in terms of their demographic profile and other indicators
included in the Impact Assessment Household Survey Questionnaire.

HOW The study included an evaluation of the economic and social aspect of
the beneficiaries before and after the INFRES farm-to-market road project,
as well as of the respondents’ demographic profile, income and employment,
improved access, and perceived benefits after the INFRES road was
constructed. Key Informant Interview was also used to gather data,
especially unanswered items in the survey.

F. A conceptual framework serves as an outline or a blueprint that you can

follow in doing your research. It is presented in a flow chart, map, diagram
or narrative form. When using a diagram, it is still a must to include
narrative to explain the details. Here you show the variables that influence
your research. Variable is anything that has quantity or quality that varies
in a research. For example, if you are studying the COVID-19 outcomes,
you might study home life, school and community. For school, your
variables might be learning process and quality of learning. To make your
conceptual framework thorough, it is encouraged to make it more detailed.

12
Step by Step Guide on How to Write the Conceptual Framework

1. Choose your topic. It should be within the field of your

specialization.

2. Do a literature review. Go over relevant and

updated studies related to your own research.
Use reliable sources of information and use
appropriate documentaion.

3. Isolate the important variables. Identify the

specific variables mentioned in the literature
and show their interrelationships.

4. Generate the conceptual framework. Build

your conceptual framework using the variables
studied in the scientific articles you have read.
Your problem serves as a reference in
constructing the conceptual framework. In
effect, your study will attempt to answer a
question that other researchers have not
explained yet.

Example of a Conceptual Framework

Home • relationship
Life • finance

Outcomes of • learning process

School
COVID-19 • quality of learning

Commu- • economic aspect

nity • social interaction

13
G. Definition of Terms lists down and defines the key terms as used in the
study in alphabetical order. An operational definition refers to a specific
definition of concept in a research study. This is necessary because it will
clarify the purpose and direction of the study.

Example of Definition of Terms

Title of the Study: Morphological Analysis of the Language of the Netizens in

Social Media

In order to enable better understanding of the study, the following terminologies

were operationally or conceptually defined:

Affixation. It is a morphological method whereby a bound morpheme, an affix, is

attached to a morphological base in order to create either a different form of the
morphological base or a new word with a different definition.
Coinage. It refers to the invention or creation of a new word or phrase. In this
paper, this word may refer to any process that involves making up of new terms,
phrases and expressions that are not usually found in the dictionary.

Contrastive Analysis. Conceptually, it is the systematic investigation of a pair of

languages with the purpose of identifying differences and similarities in their
structure. It is described as an inductive investigative approach based on the
distinctive elements in a language. Additionally, contrastive analysis is a tool to
establish language genealogies and create language taxonomies. Operationally, it
is the process used in distinguishing the features of internet slang words from the
formal English language.

Conversion. It is the process wherein the word’s function has been transformed
into another but with no overt change in form. This process has no rival for the
variety of alternate names that have been used to describe it: identify operation,
implicit transposition, zero operation, zero derivation and null adjunction.

Facebook. It is an online social media or social networking service that makes

easy for people to connect and share with other people. Users of this type of social
media can post, comment, share photographs and links other contents as their
status. Playing games, ordering food and other products and video chatting are
also possible in this social networking site. Shared contents can be made publicly
accessible or it can be shared only to a single person or a specific group.
