COGNITIVE
The ______ is very important in establishing the cognitive setting of the research.
INTRODUCTION
What does the introduction involve?
(a) discussion why there is a need to study the problem
(b) clarifying the important terminologies in layman’s terms for the reader to easily understand what the research is about
(c) establishing the degree of seriousness of the problem which has prompted the research to look for solutions
What is the title of the first chapter of the research study?

- Introduction
- Theoretical Framework and Conceptual Framework
- Objectives of the Study
- Statement of the Problem
- Scope and Delimitation
- Significance of the Study
- Definition of Terms
How can chapter 1 be explained clearly?
By describing each of the elements of C1
The following questions will aid the researcher in formulating the introduction?
- What is the rationale of the problem?
- What is the setting of the problem?
- What is the basic literature foundations of the problem?
- How serious is the chosen research problem?
- What is the general objective of the study?
- What is the overall purpose of the problem?
This question is answered by sharing with the readers the reasons why the researchers decided to look for answers or solutions to the problem.
What is the rationale of the problem?
True or False: The scope of a problem can only be local.
False, can be local, national, or international
One’s personal experience, article read, scene witnessed, theory to be clarified
What is the rationale of the problem?
What do you focus on in describing the setting?
Peculiarity or uniqueness
True or False: The rationale forms part of the delimitation of the problem.
False, the setting
It defines the geographic boundaries of the study.
Setting
It implies certain demographic characteristics.
Setting
The answer to this question clarifies and defines the terms or variables used in the study.
What is the basic literature foundation of the study?
True or False: The RRL is the same as the basic literature foundation of the study.
False
In this question, the researcher emphasizes the intensity and magnitude of the problem.
How serious is the chosen research problem?
This question is derived from the general statement of the problem.
What is the general objective of the study?
True or False: The overall purpose of the problem should be the basis of the enumerated statements of specific problems.
False, the general objective of the study
True or False: The researchers should be totally aware of the purpose of the study.
True
The introduction should consist of how many pages?
2-3
True or False: The introduction must be short and concise.
True
A supposition or a system of ideas intended to explain something.
Theory
It is based on general principles independent of the phenomenon to be explained.
Theory
A skeleton, basic structure, or frame of reference designed to support something.
Framework
The structure that can hold or support a theory of a research study.
Theoretical Framework
It introduces and describes the theory that explains why the research problem being studied exists.
Theoretical Framework
Steps in formulating the theoretical framework
- Identify the key concepts
- Evaluate and explain relevant theories
- Show how your research fits in
Specific sub-steps under step 3 of formulating a theoretical framework
- Test whether a theory holds in a specific context
- Use theory as a basis for interpreting your results
- Critique or challenge a theory
- Combine different theories in a new or unique way
