The Problem and Its Setting: Hypotheses/Assumption Scope and Limitation Significance of The Study Definition of Terms

This chapter outlines the key components of the research study: [1] It establishes the hypotheses and assumptions that will guide the study, as well as defines its scope and limitations. [2] It explains the significance of the study and how it could impact areas like education, policy, and problem solving. [3] Finally, it defines the key terms that will be used in the research, both conceptually and operationally for clarity and consistency.

Chapter 1

The Problem and its Setting


 Hypotheses/Assumption

 Scope and Limitation

 Significance of the Study

 Definition of terms
Assumption/Hypothesis
Assumptions
 Are presumed as true statement of facts
related to the research problem

The researcher must consider:


 What assumptions have you made about the
nature of the research you are investigating
 The condition under which the behavior occurs
 The research methods or design employed
 Measurements collected or the relationship of
this study to other persons and situation
Hypotheses
 Commonly use null hypothesis because it is
denial of difference of an effect, which is easy
to reject or accept.
In formulation of hypothesis the
researcher must:
 Spell out the particular research hypothesis she/he will
test or specific objectives at which research is aimed
 Concrete and clear, making sure that each hypothesis or
objective is stated in terms of observable behavior
Questions versus Hypotheses
Questions

 Are relevant to normative or census type


research questions such as:
 How many of the are there?
 Is there a relationship between them?
Hypotheses

 Represents a declarative statement of the


relations between two or more variables

Types:
 Null hypothesis
 Alternative Hypothesis
Scope and Limitation
Scope

 Address how a study will be narrowed, and


how it is bounded.
 This is the place to explain the things that you
are not doing and why you have chosen not
to them.
Limitation

 Identifies potential weakness of the study.

 Self report
 Instrument used
 Sample or the respondents involved in the study
Consideration in discussing the scope and
limitation of study:

 How have narrowed the scope of the study?


 Did you focus only on selected aspects of the
problem, certain areas of interest, a limited
range of subjects, or particular level of ability?
 What are the limitations surrounding your
study within which conclusion must be
confined?
 What limitations exist in your research
methodology?
Significance of the Study

 The researcher must convince the reader that


the study has significant contribution in
relation to solving educational problem,
business operation, bringing a knowledge
gap, improving social, economic, and health
conditions, enriching research instrument
and methods, and government thrusts.
Consideration in Presenting the
significance of the study
• What impact will this have in the future?
•How will results of the study be
implemented, and what innovations will
come about?
•When the research is finished, what are
the questions to which reasonable answer
can be expected
•What will the results mean to the theoretical
framework that framed the study
•What suggestions fro subsequent research arise
from the findings?
•What will the results mean to the practicing
educator?
•Will results influence programs, methods, and/or
interventions?
•Will results contribute to the solution of
educational problem
•Will results influence educational policy
decisions?
•What will be improved or changed as a result of
the proposed research?
The researcher believes that this
study is beneficial to the following:
 School Administrator

 Mathematics Teacher

 Pupils
Definition of Terms

 Two ways in defining the key terms found in


thesis:
1. Conceptual
2. Operational
Conceptual Definition

 The meaning of the term is usually taken


from the dictionary

Operational Definition
 The definition is based on an observed
characteristics and how it is used in the study.

The terms must be arranged in an alphabetical


order
Notes:

 List and define the major terms you will use,


particularly where terms found in the study
such as the variables have different meanings
to different people.
 Emphasis should be placed on operational or
behavioral definitions.
