  • The local perspective gives insight into the subject's situation in a particular country (e.g., the Philippines).
  • The focal perspective defines the gap, including the specific reasons why the study must be undertaken.
  • This often references the rationale and current situation for that particular topic, as well as the lack of sufficient research materials/information available regarding the topic under scrutiny.

Theoretical and Conceptual Framework

  • A theory is a conceptual idea that describes, predicts, and understands a phenomenon.
  • A framework is a basic structure or frame of reference to support a topic, including the natural progression of the study subject.
  • Theoretical Framework is a collection of theories and models that serve as a support for the study.
  • Key strategies for developing the framework are: identifying key concepts, using existing theories, and constructing a concept map. Explaining how the framework relates to different aspects of the study.

Central and Corollary Questions

  • Central Questions focus on the essence of the lived experience of the participants based on the topic
  • Corollary Questions explore how participants describe their experiences and identify emerging themes from the topic under investigation.

Scope and Delimitation
