LESSON VII: BACKGROUND, SIGNIFICANCE,


and SCOPE AND DELIMITATION

Subject Teacher
WHAT IS BACKGROUND?
CLUE: THIS IS NOT A BACKGROUND OF A STUDY
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
As the name suggests, this part presents the
background or context in which your study is
situated. Your aim in this part is to make the
readers understand where you are coming
from—thus the term, “background”.

This part is written after you have conducted an


initial literature review and when you already
have a good “bird’s-eye view” on your study.
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
As the introductory part of your research, this portion
must present the importance of your research study.
Hence, it must contain the answer to the following:

1. What is the problem?


2. What has been done to solve that problem? (RRL)
3. What else can be done about the problem (gap)?
4. What do you intend to do about the problem?

It must contain at least 4 paragraphs.


SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
This is the section/place where you state clearly
the people who may benefit from your study
and how they may benefit from it (e.g. administrators,
teachers, parents, students, community, and future researchers.)

NOTE: Do not take this part for granted. You might need it more than you
expect. Keep explanations concise and formal.
SCOPE AND DELIMITATION
Crafting the Scope and Delimitation is like
creating the walls in which you will isolate your
subject of study. This portion sets the boundaries
of what will be studied and what will not.

A clearly written scope and delimitation of the


study will make it definitely easier to answer
questions which are related or not related to
your study.
COMPONENTS OF SnD
In writing the scope and delimitation of your study, you
are also asking the basic profile questions of your
research. The following are the components of the
scope and delimitation of the study (but not limited to):
• Topic of the Study. What are the variables to be included and
excluded?
• Problems to be Addressed. Why are you doing this study?
• Time Frame. When are you going to conduct this study?
• Locale of the Study. Where are you going to gather your data?
• Characteristics of the Respondents. Who will be your
respondents? How many? What qualifies them?
COMPONENTS OF SnD
FOR EXAMPLE:
GROUP ACTIVITY
CRAFT YOUR SCOPE
INSTRUCTIONS: Proceed to your group. Craft the
Scope and Delimitations of ALL your research titles.
Present it in class afterwards. Take note of the essential
parts:
• Topic of the Study. What are the variables to be included and
excluded?
• Problems to be Addressed. Why are you doing this study?
• Time Frame. When are you going to conduct this study?
• Locale of the Study. Where are you going to gather your data?
• Characteristics of the Respondents. Who will be your
respondents? How many? What qualifies them?
