REVIEWER: WRITING PROCESS & RESEARCH CONCEPTS

WEEK 2 & 3: STAGES OF THE WRITING PROCESS

1. Prewriting – Brainstorming, outlining, and gathering ideas.

2. Drafting – Writing the first version without focusing too much on

perfection.

3. Revising – Improving clarity, structure, and flow.

4. Editing – Checking grammar, punctuation, and spelling.

5. Publishing – Sharing the final version.

WEEK 4: RESEARCH WRITING

• Statement of the Problem

o Defines the research purpose and direction.

o Should be concise, clear, and specific.

o Examples:

▪ "The aim of this study is to determine..."

▪ "This project aims to explore..."

• Research Questions

o Two types:

1. General Problem – Broad research focus.

2. Specific Problems – Researchable vs. Non-researchable.

• Hypothesis

o A testable statement predicting the relationship between

variables.

o Types:

▪ Null Hypothesis (H0): No effect or relationship.

▪ Alternative Hypothesis (H1): Suggests an effect or

relationship.

o Example:

▪ H0: Taking aspirin daily does not affect heart attack risk.

▪ H1: Taking aspirin daily reduces heart attack risk.

• Conceptual Framework

o A structured approach to research.

o Can be a diagram or narrative.

o Steps to Create:

1. Conduct a literature review.

2. Identify key variables.

3. Create a flowchart or model.

4. Write a narrative explanation.

5. Revise as needed.

• Asking Questions for Research

o Helps in acquiring knowledge and solving problems.

o Examples:

▪ If you could ask one person (dead or alive) a question, what

would it be?

▪ If you could ask your future self something, what would it

be?

WEEK 5: SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY & DEFINITION OF TERMS

• Significance of the Study

o Explains how the research contributes to knowledge.

o Identifies who benefits from the research.

o Example: “This study benefits educators by improving teaching

strategies for online learning.”

• Definition of Terms

o Two Types:

1. Conceptual Definition – Dictionary/universal meaning.

2. Operational Definition – How the researcher applies it in

the study.

o Guidelines:

▪ Define terms that have special meanings in the study.

▪ Cite sources for definitions from books, encyclopedias, etc.

▪ Clearly spell out acronyms.

WEEK 6-7: REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE (RRL) & CITATION

• Review of Related Literature (RRL)

o A summary of past research relevant to your topic.

o Ensures that your study builds on existing knowledge.

• Review of Related Studies (RRS)

o Summarizes past research findings.

• Review of Related Literature and Studies (RRLS)

o Combines both RRL & RRS.

Steps in Writing an RRL

1. Formulate themes – Use variables or the problem statement.

2. Ensure varied sources – Use both local and international sources.

3. Assign citations – Distribute research tasks among group members.

4. Check main points – Paraphrase properly to avoid plagiarism.

5. Compile information – Use transitional words to organize ideas.

In-Text Citation Guidelines

1. By Author – (Smith, 2020)

2. By Topic – Research on climate change suggests... (Jones, 2019).

3. Chronological – Earlier studies (Brown, 2005) vs. later research (Davis,

2021).
