    Study Notes

    Hypothesis

    • Null Hypothesis: states that there is no relationship between the independent and dependent variables.
    • Alternative Hypothesis: presumes that a relationship exists between the variables.
    • Alternative Hypothesis (Directional): indicates the type of difference that exists in the relationship between the independent and dependent variables (increase or decrease).
    • Alternative Hypothesis (Non-Directional): does not explicitly state the type of difference between the independent and dependent variables.

    Characteristics of Hypothesis

    • A research hypothesis should be testable.
    • A research hypothesis is either true or false.
    • A research hypothesis is considered valuable regardless of results.

    Formulating Hypothesis

    • Finalize the research question.
    • Conduct preliminary research.
    • Operationalize the variables.

    Significance of the Study

    • Points out the value of the current research for its beneficiaries.
    • The beneficiaries of the study are the groups of people, organizations, communities, or government agencies that directly or indirectly benefit from the results of the research.
    • Characteristics of the significance of the study:
      • Value of the research highlighted.
      • Properly identified beneficiaries.
      • Determined contribution to the body of knowledge.

    Theoretical Framework

    • Conduct preliminary research.
    • Use relevant theories that will support the study.
    • Discuss the theory and its relevance to your research.

    Conceptual Framework

    • It is an analytical tool with several variations and contexts that can be applied in different categories of work.
    • It is the overall flow of the research.
    • Drafting the conceptual framework:
      • Review your literature.
      • Identify all variables.
      • Create your framework.
      • Explain your framework.

    Statement of the Problem

    • Encapsulates the phenomenon that is to be observed and studied in a particular research study.
    • Anchored on the research questions of the study.
    • Characteristics of the statement of the problem:
      • Specific.
      • Attainable.
      • Time-bound.
      • Measurable.
      • Relevant.

    Drafting the Statement of the Problem

    • Recall the research topic.
    • Draft your research questions.
    • Draft the statement of the problem.

    Background of the Study

    • Provides context to the information discussed throughout the research process.
    • Serves as one of the anchors of the research topic being discussed.
    • Drafting the background of the study:
      • Conduct preliminary research.
      • Use reliable sources.
      • Consider the writing style.
