a foundation of core knowledge.
Theoretical Framework
Researcher’s idea on how the research problem will be explored.
Conceptual Framework
There should be a general statement of the main problem followed by
the specific questions or sub-problems into which the main problem
is broken up.
Statement of the problem
The statement of the problem should be specific, clearly and simply
stated, and logically arranged according to the research paradigm.
Statement of the problem
Describes what ideas are suggested as plausible explanations for the problem, situation, or condition and will be proved to be correct or incorrect by the research
Hypothesis

null hypothesis
statement which is assumed to
formulate solutions to the given problem.
alternative hypothesis
Allows the researcher to state the value, importance, and/or
contributions that the study is expected to add to a particular discipline
and in society in general.
Significance of the study
Explanation of in what ways and to whom the expected outcome of
the study will be significant or beneficial
Significance of the study
Defines where the study will be conducted and who the subjects are.
Scope and Delimitations
