1. Introduction

Background of the study gives a first appearance of the research. It’s a collection of important
information that is founded on the problem. The steps required to come up with the research design
and the implementation of viable solutions.
This makes Background of the study different from the introduction. Introduction only comprise
of the preliminary content about the research question, or research topic and readers will be
learning in your paper. But the background of your study is more in-depth and explains why your
research topic or thesis is worth the time of your readers.
Research background gives an introduction to the research problem or study area. It assess actual
discourse, current views about the phenomena in a way that the researcher can pose the research
questions. Research questions will not be explicitly stated but implied in an argument. Provide a
minimum of six (6) references. In writing a research background of a study, the researcher must
consider adding some background statistics or any news or report concerning the area of study
.
3. Statement of problem
AIM(Problem statement) in thesis indicates an issue that should be resolved. The researcher
should always specify the issue or challenge that he/she will be addressing when writing a
problem statement. Also, the researcher should try to describe the idealistic condition and
describe what problem is stopping the ideal success or situation from happening. Problem
statement is normally a situation demanding a solution, betterment, or modification; or
disagreement between the way things are and the way they suppose to be. The research must
provide as low as eight (8) references. At least 3 references must be on researchers who support
the research.

4. Objectives the research

of the study, the general research purpose must be clearly explained. Aim of the study are
normally broad statements of an expected outcomes, or the general purpose of the
research. More often than not, a research should have not more than two aims statements.

intentions of the researcher. Provide a manimum of two (2) objectives.

statement that is used to prove or disprove and is mostly used in quantitative research to foretell
the relation between variables.Research questions should base on the research objectives.The
researcher must pose a research question that can help provide answers to the research
objectives. Provide a manimum of 2 questions. In most case the number of research objectives is
equal to the number of research questions. This is because each research question is asked base
on a research objectives.
METHODOLOGY shows the broad underpinning to the chosen research approach. This
focus on whether to use qualitative or quantitative methods, or a mixture of both, and the reasons
why these methods have been selected. Proposed research methodology must address the
research philosophy, research approach, the research design and sampling procedures. Determine
the type of study to be carried out. The type of research strategy to be utilized in conducting the
study. Why were those strategies selected? Where data or information will be gathered? What

the degree of content that will be covered by the researcher to be able to come to a more
reasonable conclusions and give adequate answers to the research questions. Scope of the study
