Synthesis
Note:
- This is REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES
- It shows previous researchers have discovered.
- It is usually quite long and primarily depend upon how
much research has previously been done in the area you
are planning to investigate.
- If you are planning to explore a relatively new area,
the literature review should cite similar areas of
study or studies that lead up to the current research.
Never say that your area is new that no research
exists. It is one of the key elements that proposal
readers look at when deciding whether or not to
approve a proposal.
- It should also contain a definition of terms section
when APPROPRIATE. Include it if your paper uses a
special terms that are unique to your field of inquiry
or that might not be understood by the general reader.
“Operational Definitions” (definitions that you have
formulated for the study) should also be included.
- Related Literature and Studies: 10 local & 10 Foreign
(at least 10 years recent)
- Use APA CITATIONS (Refer to Research Format Doc.)
- Don’t forget the SYNTHESIS
- Referencing style: APA
- Ways of citing:
by author/writer
example:
According to Felipe (2015) …

by topic
example:
It has been found out that…… (Felipe, 2015)

by chronology
according to the year, the literature was written- from earliest to the latest

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
 (EXAMPLE OF THE RESEARCH METHODOLOGY)

This chapter presents and discusses the method that will be used in the

study, the population and sampling technique, the research instrument, the data

gathering procedure, the data processing and the statistical treatment of data.

Research Design

The method used in this study was a descriptive method of research to

determine the level of implementation of curfew ordinance in reducing theft and

robbery in Ocampo, Camarines Sur including the problems encountered by the

respondents especially the barangay officials during the implementation. When

information is needed from people who are directly experiencing the phenomenon

being studied, such as when time and resources are scarce, a descriptive research

design is appropriate.

Respondents of the Study

The participants of this study consisted of the selected households and

Brgy. Officials/Tanod within the selected barangay and selected PNP Personnel

in Ocampo, Camarines Sur.

Table 1 below shows the distribution of the population used in this

study.
Table 1 Population of the Study

Population Number Percent

a. Households 25 50%
 b. Brgy. 20 40%

Officials/Tanod

c. PNP Personnel 5 10%

TOTAL 50 100

The participants of this study are the residents of 8 selected barangays in

the municipality of Ocampo, Camarines Sur to be represented by 25 (50%)

household individuals, 20 (40%) selected Brgy. Officials/Tanod and 5 (10%)

selected PNP Personnel which is randomly selected.

Research Locale

The subject of this study are the household individual, barangay officials

and the PNP personnel inside the municipality of Ocampo, Camarines Sur. It is

consists of 8 barangays namely: Ayugan, Cabariwan, Cagmanaba, Del Rosario,

Gatbo, Guinaban, Hanawan, and Hibago.

Data Gathering Procedures

The study's researcher will adhere to a particular process or set of stages.

In the beginning, the researcher would create their own questionnaires and work

with the barangay captain via a letter of communication that has been accepted

and validated by the research consultant. Second, upon the approval the

researcher will ask permission from the Barangay captain to survey their barangay

officials/tanod and the household individual to conduct the study. and an

interview with PNP personnel. Lastly, the researcher retrieved and tallied the

response of the respondents to interpret the data gathered.

Research Instruments
 There are three data-gathering tools to be used. These were questionnaire,

documentary analysis, and unstructured interview.

Documentary Analysis. It is a sort of qualitative study in which the researcher

examines documents to evaluate an evaluation theme. Coding content into

categories, similar to how interview transcripts are examined, is a necessary step

in document analysis in curfew ordinance.

Questionnaire. It contained specific questions based on the generated activities

which will help to determine the level of implementation of the barangay

ordinance. Items without response were discarded.

Unstructured interview. The unstructured interview was utilized to cross check

information generated through documentary analysis and distribution of survey

questionnaires. The same was used to gather additional information not provided

by the records and observation.

Statistical Tools Used

To facilitate analysis and interpretation of data, the same were treated

statistically through the frequency count and percentage technique.

Percentage Technique. This was used to determine the percentage of

responses and obtain the qualitative meaning of the data.

The formula used was:

n
P= __________ X 100
N

Where:
 P = is the percentage

n = is the number of responses

N = is the total number of respondents

Weighted Mean. It was used to characterize the level of

implementation of the curfew ordinance in reducing theft and robbery.

This was used to treat the data as indicated below:

Weighted Interpretation

4.81- 5.00 Fully Implemented

3.41- 4.80 Implemented

2.61- 3.40 Moderately Implemented

1.81 – 2.60 Somewhat Implemented

1.00 – 1.80 Not Implemented

In order to draw the weighted mean value, the following formula was

used.

∑fx
Mw = ______
n

Where:

Mw = is the weighted mean

f = is the frequency

x = is the weight

n = is the number of respondents

 fx = is the summation of the products of the

frequencies times the weight

STYLE, LAYOUT AND PAGE FORMATTING

Title Page
 All text on the title page is centered vertically and horizontally. The title page has
no page number and it is not counted in any page numbering.

Page Layout
 Left margin: 1 ½ or 1.5 inch

 Numeric page numbering begins with first page of Chapter 1 (although a page
number is not paced on page 1)

Spacing and justification

  All pages are single sided
 Text is double- spaced, except for long quotations and the bibliography (single-
spaced).
 Do not right- justify text. Use ragged- right.

Font face and size

 Font style: courier new
 Font size: 12 points
 Same font must be used throughout the manuscript, except: tables and graphs and
chapters title and section headings

Reference
 APA format should be used to cite references within the paper.
 If you name the author in your sentence, then follow the authors name with the
year in parentheses. Example: Jones (2004) found that…
 If you do not include the authors name as part of the text, then both the author’s
name and year are enclosed in parentheses. Example: One researcher (Jones,
2004) found that…
 A complete bibliography is attached at the end of the paper. It is doubled spaced
except single- spacing is used for a multiple- line reference. The first line of each
reference is indented.

Appendix
 An appendix should be topically independent of the other appendices. An
appendix should be labeled and, if necessary, separated from other appendices by
a single sheet of paper. Ordinarily, an appendix should not have footnote
(documentation can be inserted into the text).
 The word “Appendix” should be placed in the center, written in capital letters,
with corresponding letters, e.g., APPENDIX
