  • Education is a broad topic and examples of subtopics are
  • Students
  • Teachers
  • Academic performance
  • English language
  • Reading comprehension
  • Choosing a strand should be an important aspect for SHS students
  • Factors influence students in choosing their strand
  • Look around and observe when selecting a topic
  • Look for problems or phenomena.
  • Other pointers in writing the research title could be:
  • Reflect the proposed study's content and range
  • Don't use abbreviations
  • Use words that create a positive impression and stimulate the readers' interest
  • Use modern nomenclature (terms) in the field of study
  • Ensure the dependent and independent variables are identified
  • Indicate the relationship between the variables to support the thesis

The Introduction

  • Contains the background information of the research topic
  • Importance and validity of the research problem
  • It states the reason for conducting the study

Techniques in Writing the Introduction

  • Deficiencies Model (Creswell, 2021): an approach that can be a general template for writing a solid introduction to a proposal or research study
  • There are 5 parts to the introduction
  • State the research problem
  • Studies that have addressed the problem
  • Indicate the deficiencies
  • The importance of the study
  • The purpose statement
  • T.I.O.C. approach (Nuqui, 2019): trends, issues, objectives, contributions
  • Highlight the trends
  • Identify the issues and the gaps
  • Mention the objectives
  • Contributions of the study
  • Inverted Pyramid Approach
  • Begin with general background information
  • Define major variables
  • State the facts, statistics, legal bases
  • State reasoning for conducting the study

Statement of the Problem

  • Uses questions that are clear, and unambiguous, to investigate the problems in a research paper
  • Composed of 2 parts
  • General Problem (statements) - sentence/s is the opening part
  • Specific Problem (questions) - stated as research questions
  • Two general types of research questions
  • Non-researchable questions: answerable by yes or no
  • Researchable questions: includes questions of value, opinions, or policy to gather data.
  • Use who, what, when, where, why, how with these questions

Examples for researchable questions:

  • A. Factor - Isolating Question
  • What is the profile of the students in terms of: age, gender, grade and strand, and health condition
  • B. Factor - Relating Question
  • How do study habits influence the level of achievement of SHS Students?
  • C. Situation - Relating Question
  • What are the effects of online learning on the level of performance of SHS students?
  • D. Situation Question
  • Based on the findings, what policy may be formulated to improve the school's modular distance learning modality?
