4 to 7 chapters
The thesis format of writing scientific paper
Chapter I : The Problem and its Setting
Chapter II : Review of Related Literature and Studies

Chapter V : Summary of the Findings, Conclusions, and Recommendations
It tackles the nature of the problem, the arousal of the problem, even the reason why such study was conducted.
Chapter I : The Problem and its Setting
Parts of Chapter I
Introduction, Statement of the Problem, Conceptual or Theoretical Framework, Significance of the Study, Scope and Delimitation, and Definition of Terms
This states the reasons why the particular
research problem is selected for investigation.
Introduction
This is a discussion of the research problem/s
to be addressed or solved by the proposed
research.
Statement of the Problem
Serves as the backbone of the research.
Conceptual or Theoretical Framework
The importance, contribution or expected utility of this research to contemporary concerns and to the scientific/artistic domain of the field of study.
Significance of the Study
Includes the variables of the study, indicators, or measures, population and respondents of the study, processes to be considered in gathering the data of the study, venue, period wherein the study will take place.
Scope and Delimitation
The words that were consider are the important variables of the study
Definition of Terms
This discusses the literature related to the proposed
research.
Chapter II : Review of Related
Literature and Studies
Serves as the tools in answering the problem, it
depicts the process and shows the “how” of the
study.
Chapter III : Research Methodology
Parts of Chapter III
The Research Design, The Research Locale, The Samples and Sampling Technique, Research Instruments, Procedure of the Study, Ethics in Research, and Statistical Analysis of Data.
Describe the design used in the study. Justify why
this design is most appropriate for the study.
The Research Design
This part depicts the “where” of the study.
The Research Locale
Discuss the respondents of the study with
emphasis on the manner of selecting the
respondents
The Samples and Sampling Technique
Discuss the types of instrument that will be used in
the study, how they will be answered by the
respondents and how it will be scored and also on
how the instruments will be administered, how long
will be administered, and who will administer the
instruments.
Research Instruments
Discuss the process on how the research will
be undertaken.
Procedure of the Study
Focuses on securing that the conduct,
results, and other things governing the study
does not violate any ethical concerns and will
not result to any ethical issues.
Ethics in Research
Covers the interpretations, summarisation,
and visualization of the gathered data for an
easier way to discuss the gathered data.
Statistical Analysis of Data
Describes the summarized or statistically
treated data that is presented in a tabular or
graphical form.
Chapter IV : Presentation, Analysis and
Interpretation of Data
Answers each stated research question in the
form of a generalization derived from the
analysis and interpretation of findings.
Chapter V : Summary of the Findings, Conclusions, and Recommendations
Sources of a good research problem for student-researchers.
Actual Problems Encountered, Field of Specialization, Analysis of an area of knowledge, Consideration of an Existing Practices and Needs, Absence or lack of information resulting to a gap on one’s knowledge and contradictory results, conflicting theories or hypotheses and insufficiency of existing data, Recommendations of conducted research studies, The University research agenda as provided by the University Research Services Department, and Researchable areas that are related to your field of specialization.
In writing this, the connection between dependent and independent variables, input-output, stimulus and response must always be observed.
Title of the Study
This part of the research proposal establishes
the justification in terms of the need of conducting the study.
The Problem and its Setting
This has the following characteristics:
1) Each research questions or problem statement must be stated with precision, accuracy, and clarity.
2) It can be stated either in the declarative or interrogative form.
3) It can be either one main statement/question, or a series of statements/questions, or a combination of
these forms. In the study of this course, you have to use a combination of these forms.
4) The problem should be defined in terms of the data that can be obtained.
Statement of the Problem
Two classifications of research question or problem statement.
the general problem and specific problems.
a broad statement that uses comprehensive and abstract concepts.
general problem statement
a detailed statement of objective, problem or target, which uses measurable and achievable concepts
specific problem statement
This is the next thing to do after formulating the general research question or problem statement.
Writing Specific Questions
A conjectural statement showing the relationship between variables under study; always in declarative sentence form.
hypothesis
A predictive statement that represents a very specific proposed answer to the problem statement.
Research Hypothesis
Two Types of Hypothesis
Null and Alternative Hypo
It represents what the investigation doubts as true.
Null Hypothesis (Ho)
This is where the experimenter or researcher believes to be true and wishes to prove.
Alternative Hypothesis (Ha)
the contradictory statement of the null hypothesis.
alternative statement
The foundations or basis of your study.
The Conceptual and Theoretical Framework
This is by means of finding supporting
facts, arguments, and theories that could
support your claims, involving the variables
under study.
The Conceptual and Theoretical Framework
This reflects your personal “bias” in which you
want your study to be anchored on.
example of a conceptual framework
one which gives clarity to a certain concept or
idea
Theoretical Framework
Describes the variables which are to be manipulated; independent variable
Input
Receives the effect of the variables manipulated; dependent variable
Output
Sets the boundaries of the study
according to the respondents, participants or
subjects of the study
Scope
Are those conditions which are beyond the grasp of the
researcher such as the restriction on formulation of
the conclusions of the study and the application to
other situations.
delimitations
This section of the research study defines the
relevance of the study.
Significance of the Study
The question of who shall be benefited
and how they shall be benefited by the study
should be answered in this part.
Significance of the Study
This is to avoid confusing meaning leading to
misunderstanding and various interpretations of
concepts.
Definition of Terms
Two Major types of Definition of Terms
Conceptual and Operational Definition
the denotation, or the meaning based on the dictionary.
Conceptual Definition
meaning of the concept or term as used in a particular study.
Operational Definition
helps in defining or redefining a research problem as it offers theoretical and conceptual frameworks about the chosen research topic.
RRL
a method of formatting
information sources you have used in your
written work.
Referencing
quoting another person word for word
making a direct quotation
re-stating thoughts of others in your own words
paraphrasing
stating in condensed form the materials reviewed
summarizing
Here, you are going to synthesize the review
and emphasize the dissimilarities and
parallelism of the same to the present study.
