    • Establishes the context for the research, covering essential facets of the subject matter.
    • Discusses the importance of the topic and reasons for its selection.
    • Sets out the purpose, including a general statement of the problem and specific sub-problems.

    Research Gap

    • Identifies gaps in existing studies, highlighting areas that require further exploration.
    • Includes four components: current state of the field, conventional practices, identified research gap, and the study's contribution.

    Identifying and Stating the Research Problem

    • Defines the research problem as the specific issue addressed in the study, including the variables involved.
    • Steps to identify the research problem involve preliminary research, creating concept maps, and identifying general and specific research problems.

    List of Reliable Resources

    • Provides various platforms and databases for reliable research resources such as Google Scholar, ProQuest, JSTOR, and EBSCO Information Services.

    Formulating the Research Questions

    • Research questions clarify the research problem, guiding data collection and analysis.
    • Specific research questions relate to the general research question and are essential for structuring the study and thesis statement.

    Specific Research Questions for Different Types of Research

    • Examples of specific quantitative research questions from various fields (e.g., genetics, climate change) showcase focused inquiries.
    • Descriptive research questions gauge frequency and usage of platforms like Facebook among employees.
    • Correlational research questions examine relationships between variables, such as study length and examination scores.

    Research Hypothesis

    • Distinction between null hypothesis (no relationship between variables) and alternative hypothesis (relationship exists).
    • Directional hypothesis specifies a relationship's direction, while non-directional does not.

    Conceptual Framework
