- Variables: Factors that can be measured, manipulated, or controlled, classified into independent and dependent categories.
- Extraneous Variables: Existing variables during the experiment that can influence the study's results.
Chapter Structure Overview
- Chapter 1 Components:
- Background of the Study
- Statement of the Problem
- Hypothesis
- Significance of the Study
- Scope and Delimitation
- Definition of Terms
Introduction Importance
- Establishes the cognitive setting of the research for participants.
- Includes rationalization for conducting research, clarification of terminologies, and seriousness of the problem.
Variables Classifications
- Independent Variable: Manipulated by the researcher.
- Dependent Variable: Affected by the manipulation of the independent variable.
- Emphasizes the relationship between independent and dependent variables.
Formulating the Introduction
- Rationale: Explains why research is necessary, highlighting existing problems.
