    Study Notes

    Research Fundamentals

    • Research Title: Summarizes the main idea or focus of the research problem; limited to 15 words and should be concise and self-explanatory.
    • 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.
    • Overall Purpose: Contains the researcher’s motivation, time factors, costs, and hazards related to the study.

    Research Problem Elements

    • General Problem: Defines the main research area, variables, tasks, and intended output.
    • Specific Problem: Formulated as questions, defining population and sample, identifying major and minor variables to be tested.

    Hypothesis

    • Tentative prediction regarding the relationship between independent and dependent variables, requiring empirical testing.

    Scope and Delimitation

    • Scope: Describes the breadth and depth of research, determined by selected variables, inclusion and exclusion criteria, and setting conditions.
    • Delimitations: Outlines limitations imposed by the researcher, detailing the research characteristics and methodological constraints.
