PRACTICAL RESEARCH 2
WEEK 3 (AUG 12-16)

MET NUMBER: 3
LESSON: Background of research
PREREQUISITE CONTENT-KNOWLEDGE: Designing a Research Title
PREREQUISITE SKILL:

INTRODUCTION:

TIME FRAME: 150 minutes


LEARNING COMPETENCY:
After going through this lesson, you are expected to:
1. discuss ways in writing a research title;
2. determine ways in crafting research background; and
3. craft a research title according to the field taken.

OVERVIEW
Reading a well-written research title gives the reader an insight of what the research study is all about. Although it
captures the main point of the study, it does not sufficiently explain all the details of the study. Hence the reader opts to
read on for better understanding. When introducing your study to the readers, you must bridge the gap from what is
known to what is unknown. Establishing the importance of finding the answer to the question makes the reader feel the
need to answer such question. Thus, it makes the research project more meaningful and valuable.

STUDENT’S EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING?


CHUNK 1: What is the background of the study?
Background of the Study
The background of the study is the part of your paper where you inform the reader of the context of the study. When
we say context, it means the situation or circumstances within which your research topic was conceptualized. Ideally,
this part is written when you have already conducted a literature review and has a good perception of the topic so you
can articulate the importance and validity of the research problem. It is also in this part of the paper where you justify
the need to conduct a research study about the topic selected by establishing the research gap.

A research gap is an under or unexplored area of a topic that requires further exploration. The gap can be in a form of
other variables, conditions, population, methodology, or test subject. To identify research gaps, an exhaustive literature
review regarding the topic is required. You may have to look for similar or related studies employing quantitative,
qualitative, or mixed methods from legitimate sources and examine the gray areas. Reading through the Discussion,
Conclusion, or the Recommendations sections of the articles will help you know potential areas of study that need
further attention. Identifying research gaps sometimes would even make researchers modify their research problem as
they get noteworthy ideas from fellow researchers.

CHUNK 2: What questions do the background of the study answers?


While both the Background of the Study and the Review of Related Literature involve reading past related studies, they
differ in some aspects. The former is at the introductory part of the paper with the purpose of relaying the importance
of your research study; the latter is more comprehensive and thoroughly discusses the studies mentioned in the
background of research. Moreover, the background of the study answers the following questions:
1. What is already known about the topic?
2. What is not known about the topic?
3. Why do you need to address those gaps?
4. What is the rationale of your study?
While answering these questions, keep in mind that the studies you include in this part of the paper are laid down as
part of the introduction and should not be discussed in great detail. The depth and length of the background information
largely depend on how much information you think the reader needs to know to have a full grasp of the topic being
discussed.

SYNTHESIS
What have you learned?
Directions: As you have learned from this lesson, answer each question comprehensively.
1. What is the relevance of the Background of the Study in your research paper?
2. Compare and contrast Background of the Study and Literature Review.
3. What important components should be included in the Background of the Study?
