INTRODUCTION

Background of the Study

- Clearly state what the problem is in relation to the topic; background as to
results and implications of previous works leading to the rationale of the
study.
- What was done in the present study, urgency, research gap, assumption,
reconnection to the observe variable/s; contribution of the study.
-
Statement of the Problem
- Must have general and specific Objectives
- One objective for each variable & another objective on significant
relationship/ difference/ influence/ prediction/ impact, and other related
objectives based on the research title.
- Complementary within research method

Conceptual/Theoretical Framework
- A conceptual framework is needed when there are inferences
(relationship, differences) stated in the statement of the study. The
conceptual figure alone is one page right after the page citing it. Source/
Author for every variable with indicators. Only one author for every
variable, not several authors.
- The theoretical framework will be formulated from an existing theory/ies
serves as the foundation of the study. In such a case, the paradigm that is
originally used by the theorist can be fully adopted in the present study. It
can also be adapted since that researcher can add or subtract variables
from the original framework, provided the whole theory is utilized.

1
Hypothesis
- Needed when there are inferences (relationship, differences) stated in the
statement of the problem.
- One of each objective on difference/ relationship/ influence/ prediction/
impact/ whichever is applicable.

Significance of the Study

- Possible beneficiaries and the benefits they will gain from the study clearly

- The scope is the coverage of the study while limitation pertains to the
boundaries of the study. You should set what should be the boundary or limit

are going to use, quantitative, qualitative or combination of both

Definition of Terms

2
 Chapter II

- Introductory Paragraph: variable based with indicators with sources

- The subtopic should be arrange based on the statement of the problem.
- Grouped by variable of the study and relationship of variables (or
difference, impact, influence whichever is applicable)
- Coherence between & among paragraph by using appropriate transition
terms
- Only the variables are listed and labeled as sub-headings; indicators are
part of the paragraph
- Sources not earlier than 2015 (10 years); except for those theories and
very important authors.
- Paraphrased, not copy pasted
- Synthesis as last paragraph of RRL, a general summary (not conclusion)
& last sentence is contribution to the study;
- An inventory of three or more authors, arranged in alphabetical order, of a
particular concept present in majority of the pages
- Use APA format for referencing

3
 Chapter III
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

- Opening paragraph introducing the content of the entire chapter

6
 Chapter VI
SUMMARY, CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION

Summary
- There should be a brief statement about the main purpose of the study,
the population of respondents, the period of the study, the method of
research used, the research instrument, and the sampling design. There
should be no explanations made.
- Summary of finding should be in relation to the statement of the problem.

Conclusion
- Conclusions should be based on the summary of findings. They should
not contain any numeral because numerals generally limit the forceful
effect or impact and scope of a generalization. No conclusions should be
made that are not based upon the findings.
- Conclusions should appropriately answer the specific questions raised at
the beginning of the investigation in the order they are given under the
statement of the problem.
- Conclusions should point out what were factually learned from the inquiry.
However, no conclusions should be drawn from the implied or indirect
effects of the findings.
- Conclusions should be formulated concisely, that is, brief and short, yet
they convey all the necessary information resulting from the study as
required by the specific questions.
- Conclusions should not be repetitious of any statements anywhere in the
thesis. They may be recapitulations if necessary, but they should be
worded differently and they should convey the same information as the
statements recapitulated.

7
Recommendation
- Recommendations are appeals to people or entities concerned to solve or
help solve the problems discovered in the inquiry.
- No recommendations should be made for a problem, or anything for that
matter, that has not been discovered or discussed in the study.
Recommendations for things not discussed in the study are irrelevant.
- There may also be recommendations for the continuance of a good
practice or system, or even recommendation for its improvement.
- Recommendations should aim for the ideal but they must be feasible,
practical, and attainable.
- Recommendations should be logical and valid.
- Recommendations should be addressed to the persons, entities,
agencies, or offices who or which are in a position to implement them.
- There should be recommendation for further research on the same topic in
other places to verify, amplify, or negate the findings of the study. This is
necessary so that if the findings are the same, generalizations of wider
application can be formulated.
