IV. LEARNING TASKS

A. ELICIT At this point, you may already have an interesting and relevant quantitative research topic
that is related to your chosen track. The next step is for you to have a suitable and
captivating title for the research study in mind. How is it done? Is writing a research title
similar to writing a title for movies, songs, or poems, or is there a guideline for it?
B. ENGAGE The old saying “never judge a book by its cover” applies to research studies no matter how
much we say otherwise. When the title is poorly constructed that it does not accurately
describe the objective of your research, it can discredit the value of the entire research, let
alone the implication of your research findings. It is, therefore, important that you make your
research title accurate yet captivating. Afterall, the research title is the first thing your
professor, fellow researchers, journal editors, or reviewers get to see first. Once it captures
the attention of the readers, they will be enticed to read the entire work and learn something
from your research. Learning how to make your research title create a good impression is
essential.
C. EXPLORE: Activity 1: True or False
Directions: Write TRUE if the statement is correct and FALSE if it is incorrect.
_____________1. Inserting humor on the research title makes it more interesting to the
reader.
_____________2. Abbreviations are a must to make the research title shorter.
_____________3. Proper punctuation and correct grammar must be observed in writing the
title.
_____________4. All types of quantitative research design must include the independent
and dependent variables in the title.
_____________5. Jargons make a research title more sophisticated.
_____________6. Only the first letters of nouns and pronouns are capitalized.
 _____________7. To minimize the number of characters in the title, only use the chemical
formula than generic names.
_____________8. Use declarative format in writing the research title.
_____________9. To make it more specific, the year must be included in the title.
_____________10. Using obsolete terms do not matter in writing the title.
D. EXPLAIN DISCUSSION
Basic Guidelines in Making a Research Title
A research study title is the very first thing a reader comes across when searching
for scientific literature. It is a concise description of the content of the research study
containing the fewest possible words, yet adequate to describe the contents of the
paper for a simple reason that we do not want to mislead the readers. After
conceptualizing a most probable research topic, drafting the title early in the
research process helps in keeping your focus on the subject. The following are the
basic guidelines in making a research study title:
1. Use an accurate description of the subject and scope of the study instead of using
general terms.
2. Do not use abbreviations except for commonly known ones like DNA and ICT.
3. Do not include words like “The study of,” “Analysis of,” “An investigation of” or
similar construction as these would only lengthen the title.
4. Include the main dependent and independent variables.
5. Be mindful of the proper use of grammar and punctuation.
6. Capitalize all nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs as well as the first letter
of the first and last words.
7. State in a declarative form, although you may also see titles in question form from
time to time.
8. The year the study has been conducted should not be indicated unless it is a
historical study.
9. Use current terminology.
10. Depending on the institutional requirements, 5 to15 words are sufficient to
describe the research study.
11. Use the common name instead of the chemical formula (e.g., Ammonium instead
of NH4)
12. Write and italicize full scientific names.
13. Make sure to reflect the tone of the paper. An academic research paper has a
title that is not casual, informal or does not contain humor.
The following steps can guide you in writing your research title:
1. Determine what it is that you wish to accomplish or know from your study. Write
one to two sentences to state the main objectives of your research project.
2. Include important keywords and variables. Revise the sentences into one
complete sentence that includes important keywords and variables of the study.
3. Shorten the title by eliminating unnecessary words. You may also shrink a phrase
into a simpler phrase or a single word. In doing this, make sure that the main thought
of the research study is retained.
4. Correct grammar and punctuation errors if there are any.
5. Observe proper formatting. The format may vary according to the requirements of
the course or school. Please seek guidance from your professor.
E. ELABORATE Directions: Evaluate the following erroneous research title and justify what makes it wrong.
Example: Phytochemical analysis and antioxidant activity of S. trifasciata leaves
Answer: The scientific name was abbreviated and not italicized.
1. An investigation of the effects of electronics uses on Interpersonal Relationship in adults.
Answer: ________________________________________________________
2. Effects of Coconut Oil and Beeswax Edible coating.
Answer: ________________________________________________________
3. The Effects of Arts-Integrated Instruction on Arithmetic Skills of Students for S.Y. 2018-
2019.
Answer: _________________________________________________________
4. Antibacterial effects of C2H5OH extract of Carica papaya leaves.
Answer: _________________________________________________________
5. Managing business during global pandemic.
Answer: _________________________________________________________
F. EVALUATE Directions: Construct a good research title.
 Research question 1: _______________________________________________________
_________________________________________________________________________
Proposed title A: ___________________________________________________________
_________________________________________________________________________
Proposed title B: ___________________________________________________________
_________________________________________________________________________
Proposed title C: ___________________________________________________________
_________________________________________________________________________
G. EXTEND After you submit your Research Title and once it is corrected in accordance with the
guidelines given, you may start incorporating your Research Title to your research
manuscript.
