what are the 5
chapters of a
research paper?
chapter 01 :
introduction
♡ BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Purpose of background of the study
A. The general definition of the topic/Purpose of background of the
study
Example:
6. Access.
The amount and quality of available data will depend on the
ability of theresearcher to access people, organizations,
libraries, and documents.
7. Time period.
It is advisable to select a research problem and design
Delimitation of a Study
It limits the scope and outlines the boundaries of the study.
8. Bias.
The researcher should be aware of his or her
personal biases.
9. Language.
This may have an effect on data collection,
especially if the researcher is involved with
respondents that speak a variety of languages.
♡ SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
The significance of the study discusses the purpose
that the research will serve to society, the country, the
government, the institution or agency concerned, the
curriculum planners and developers, and the research
community.
It could be the following:
a. A form of new knowledge in the field,
b. A validation of the major findings of other studies,
c. A verification of the validity of findings in a different
population,
d. Analysis of trends over time, and validation of other findings
using different methodologies.
♡ PRESENTING WRITTEN STATEMENT
OF THE PROBLEM
1. Introduction
States briefly the background of the study and identifies
the rationale of the research problem.
It begins with a general statement of the problem, outlines
the specific problem or issue within the existing literature.
2. Statement of the Problem
States clearly the purposes or interest of the study, poses
specific
questions about research problem.
Presenting Written Statement of the Problem
Data collection
Measurement
Data Analysis
They must be valid and reliable (the same results are repeated).
Use tools that use a conceptual framework to get the job done.
The tools must be able to collect information related to the research
topic and they must help test the hypothesis or answer the research
questions.
Make sure all tools are biased and appropriate for the environment.
Try to include tools that reflect the culture and diversity of the study.
In the methodology section, include clear and concise instructions on
how to use instruments that are rare or commonly used in your field of
study.
♡ SAMPLING PROCEDURE
WHAT IS SAMPLING?
In survey research, sampling is the process of using a subset of the
population to represent the entire population.
SAMPLING DEFINITIONS
Population - The total number of people or things you are interested in
Sampled people are asked to invite those they know to participate, who are then
asked to invite their friends and family, etc. Participation radiates through a
community of interconnected individuals like a snowball rolling down.This method
can be useful when the researcher does not know much about the target group
and does not have an easy way to contact or reach them. However, it creates
biases, such as excluding isolated community members or targeting certain ages
or interest groups to recruit..
♡ DATA COLLECTION METHOD
WHAT IS DATA COLLECTION?
Data collection is the process of gathering and evaluating
information or data from multiple sources to find answers to
research problems, answer questions, evaluate results, and
predict trends and probabilities. This is an important step in all
types of research, analysis and decision-making, including the
social sciences, business and health.
4. Target groups
A focus group is similar to an interview, but it is
conducted with a group that all have something in
common. The data collected is similar to personal
interviews, but provides a better understanding of why a
certain group thinks in a certain way. However, some
disadvantages of this method include lack of privacy and
control of one or two interviewees. Focus groups can also
be time-consuming and difficult, but they help find the
best information for complex situations.
♡ DATA COLLECTION METHOD
SOME OF THE MOST COMMON PRIMARY DATA COLLECTION METHODS:
5. Oral history
Oral history also involves asking questions such as
interviews and focus groups. However, it is defined more
precisely and the collected information is related to one
phenomenon. It involves gathering people's opinions and
personal experiences about a particular event in which they
participated. For example, it can help study the impact of a
new product in a particular community..
♡ DATA COLLECTION METHOD
THERE ARE TWO MAIN METHODS OF DATA COLLECTION IN RESEARCH
BASED ON THE INFORMATION THAT IS REQUIRED, NAMELY:
The use of the Internet has recently become one of the most popular
methods of secondary data collection. A large number of free and paid
research resources are readily available online. Although this method is a
quick and easy way to collect data, you should only get data from
authentic websites when collecting data.
2. Government Archives
3. Libraries
The dataset used for statistical analysis must be described and the
important aspects of the material must be highlighted. These include;
the owner of the data set, how the material is accessed, how the
material was checked for quality control, and in which program the
data set is stored (Excel, Epi Info, SQL, Microsoft Access, etc.)..
♡ PLAN FOR DATA ANALYSIS
3. Inclusion and exclusion criteria:
Data interpretation involves making sense of the insights derived from the
data analysis. The choice of data interpretation technique depends on the
research question and objectives. Some common data interpretation
techniques are:
a. Data Visualization
Data visualization involves presenting the data in a visual format, such as
charts, graphs, or tables, to communicate the insights effectively.
b. Storytelling
Storytelling involves presenting the data in a narrative format, such as a
story, to make the insights more relatable and memorable.
c. Comparative Analysis
Comparative analysis involves comparing the research findings with the
existing literature or benchmarks to draw conclusions.
