 What I Need to Know

This module will give you learning opportunities to develop your skills
and competencies with a pack of guided and independent learning activities
that you will go through in each part.
In this module, you will be guided how to compose a research report
on a relevant social issue. (Quarter IV MELC no. 5).
After going through this module, you are expected to attain the
following competencies:
a. assess one’s readiness of writing a research report;
b. identify the different sections of a research paper; and
c. compose a research report on a relevant social issue.

What’s In

In the previous lesson, you have learned how words are being defined
technically and operationally. Likewise, correct grammar has been
discussed which is now your advantage when defining terms accurately.
Before you go about writing your research report, accomplish the

check mark () on the response that best describes how you generally feel
toward writing. Determine the level of your writing readiness as you agree or
disagree.

1. Strongly Disagree 4. Agree

 What Is It?

PARTS OF A RESEARCH PAPER

CHAPTER I: THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND

Background of the Study – includes purpose and reason behind the

conduct of the study. (What made you conduct the study?) Also serves as
the introduction.
Statement of the Problem – the main problem that the research is trying
to solve. It follows the formulation of the title and should be faithful to it. It
specifically points the important questions that the study needs to answer.
It also serves as the bases of the questionnaire.
Scope and Limitations of the Study – determines the coverage of the
study and all the things that it will not cover to be specific.
Definition of Terms – defines technical terms based on how they are used
in the study, specifically in the title. This aims to provide the readers or
future research with the basic terminologies that are important to
understand the paper.

CHAPTER II: REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

This is your own work and therefore should not directly lift words
from other sources. This will require your command of language and writing
skills such as summarizing, paraphrasing, and writing indirect speeches.
 Step 1 – Organize your note cards on how you would want them to
appear in the chapter.
 Step 2 – Begin writing the chapter while including the surnames of
authors who provided sources for your study and the publication
date of their work in parentheses.
 Step 3 – Edit. Rewrite.

5
CHAPTER III: METHODS AND PROCEDURES
Method of Research – The kind of research used by your study. This
answers why the method used is appropriate for the study.
Subjects of the Study – describes your respondents: who they are, what
their profile is, where they are from, etc.
Description of Research Instrument – describes your instrument which is
the questionnaire.

Statistical Treatment Applied - The statistical treatment that you will use
which includes your sampling method and formulas to come up.

CHAPTER IV: PRESENTATION, ANALYSIS, AND INTERPRETATION OF

DATA

Results of the Study – Presents all the data gathered using the
questionnaire by tabulating all the gathered information. Aside from the
tables, an interpretation of each presented data should follow. These will
serve as the bases of your Summary of Findings.

CHAPTER V: SUMMARY, CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Summary of Findings – summarizes the interpretation of data given in

Chapter IV. These should directly answer your statement of the problem.
Conclusions – Out of your findings, your conclusions are based. This
provides the answers for every statement of the problem. This is where you
will prove your hypotheses and assumptions.
Recommendations – should be directly based on the significance of the
study. This also includes the recommended actions that should be done
after the conduct of the study such as further assessment of the subject,
focus on other factors, etc.
