Delimitation Specific limitations of the study. Focus and Boundaries Ensures a manageable and focused research project. Definition of Terms Term Definition Variable A factor that can change or vary. Methodology Systematic approach to conducting research. Data Analysis Interpreting and drawing conclusions from collected data. Guidelines on How to Write a Definition o Write a brief introductory statement. It must shortly describe the content of the definition of terms. List/write the words/terms (which are technical) that would be included (make sure that the variables and key terms found in the title are included). The terms should be arranged alphabetically. Indention should be applied to each term. The term should be followed with a period. It can be underlined or not. It can be bold and italic or not. It does not have to be lengthy (direct to the point). Acronym/initials should be defined clearly. Complete name should be written first, followed by the acronym/initials in open-close parenthesis, then the definition/meaning. Do not overflow with technical terms (only those relevant and significant to the study). Keep the definition brief and basic. You will elaborate on it more in the body of your paper. Research Design Quantitative Research Focuses on numerical data and statistical analysis. Qualitative Research Explores subjective experiences and in-depth understanding. Mixed Methods Combines quantitative and qualitative approaches. Data Collection Methods 1 Surveys Collect standardized data from a sample. 2 Interviews Gather in-depth insights through conversations. 3 Observations Record behaviors and interactions in a natural setting. 4 Document Analysis Examine existing documents for relevant information. Data Analysis and Interpretation Quantitative Analysis Qualitative Analysis Statistical methods for summarizing and analyzing Themes, patterns, and meanings are identified. data.
