and concrete way
Length and Key Words
- The title should be no longer than 15 words and should summarize the main
topic of the report, and identify crucial issues(key words)
The Elements of the Research Title
1. Aim(Purpose)
-Answers the question, Why do I want to conduct this study?
-A problem statement should imply the purpose of conducting the study.
1. Topic( Subject Matter)
- What do I want to study about?
- The problem statement should contain the topic interest of the
researcher.
2. Place(Locale
-Where do I conduct the study?
- The problem Statement should imply where the particular study will be
undertaken.
3. Period

-This implies the time allotted for the researcher to finish the study.
4. Population or Respondents

Chapter 1 The problem and it’s background
● Significance of the Study
- Why conduct the study?
- You have to identify who will benefit from the research and how they will be
benefited. This should match the recommendations.
● Assumptions of the Study

directly answer your statement of the problem.
● Conclusions
-Out of your findings, your conclusions are based. This provides the answer for
every statement of the problem. This is where you will prove your hypotheses
and assumptions.
● Recommendations
-Should be directly based on the significance of the study. This also include the
recommendation of the actions that should be done after the conduct. Of the
study such as further assessment of the subject, focus on other factors, etc.
Others
● Title page

The problem and its background
Statement of the Problem
● Sets the direction of the study

● Verbalization of the "question" which the study proposes to answer
● Divided into the main problems and specific problems
● Can be stated in declarative (infinitive) or interrogative (question) form
● The main problem is the whole focus of the study. This is reflected in the title of
the study.
● The subproblems are the breakdown of the main problem. When the answers to
the sub-problems are put together, they answer the main question.
Questions must be able to answer the whys and the hows, more than the where, the
when and about what of things.
Why questions can be the most difficult to formulate because they are built-in premises
or assumptions. Such assumptions can be generalizations.
Example: "Why are some Filipinos against contraception?" (Not all Filipinos are
against contraception)
"Why is contraception a divisive issue among Filipinos?" (correct)
Guidelines in formulating the general problems and the specific subproblems or

specific questions
1.) It should be formulated first before conducting the research.
41
2.) State the specific subproblems in the interrogative form. Hence, subproblems are
called specific questions.
3.) Each specific question must be clear and unequivocal, that is, it has only one
meaning. It must not have dual meanings.
Example: Are you employed or not?
4.) Each specific question is researchable apart from the other questions, that is,
answers to each specific question can be found even without considering the other
questions.
5.) Answers to each specific question must contribute to the development of the whole
research problem.
6.) Summing up the answers to all the specific questions will give a complete
development of the entire study.
7.) Generally, there should be a general problem statement of the problem and then
this should be broken up into as many subproblems or specific questions as necessary.
