“This study aims to investigate the relationship of…”
GENERAL OBJECTIVES:
“Specifically, this study will be carried out to seek
answers to the following questions:….”
SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES:
A proposed explanation made on the basis
of limited evidence as a starting point for further
investigation. It is an educated guess or tentative
answer to the research problem.
HYPOTHESIS
the statement that there is no significant effect
or relationship between two or more variables or
populations. It is the hypothesis that we wish to
reject.
Null hypothesis (H0
):
the hypothesis contrary to null hypothesis. It is
a claim about a certain phenomenon contradictory
to H0
Alternative hypothesis (Ha
):
basic structure or a frame of reference
framework = skeleton
This refers to a model which explains how
variables are interrelated
Conceptual Framework
*This is used in experiment-based studies. The questions
raised are higher-order and may be factor relating,
situation-relating, or situation producing
IV-DV (Independent variable-
Dependent variable)
Theories that are partially or fully related to the present study are discussed to serve as backgrounder on the variables being investigated
