BACKGROUND OF THE PROBLEM

The background of your study will provide backgrounα ο context to the information discussed
throughout the research process. The background information of your study may include both
important and relevant studies.

Problem statements or background of the study have three elements:

★Problem statements or background of the study have three elements:

★The problem itself, stated clearly and with enough contextual detail to establish why it is important;

★The method of solving the problem, often stated as a claim or a working thesis; The purpose,
statement of objectives and scope of document the writer is preparing.

Research Problem

A research problem is a statement about an area of concern, a condition to be improved, a difficulty to

CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK

A Conceptual Framework is an analytical tool with several variations and contexts. that can be applied
in different categories of work where an overall picture is needed to come up with the desired goal. It is
necessary to make conceptual and theoretical distinctions and organize ideas. Strong and resilient
conceptual frameworks capture and apprehend something real and do this in a way that is easy to
remember and apply.
How to create a Conceptual Framework

A conceptual framework is a bit like a recipe or a blueprint. It provides an outline of how you plan to
conduct the research of your thesis, but it goes further than that by also positioning your work within
the larger field of research.

•Conduct a Literature Review

Before you can have your research, you need to understand and comprehend what research has already
been conducted on your topic of interest and curiosity.

•Create a Flow Chart

Conceptual frameworks are frequently visual and allow those reading the framework to understand the
course of your research.

•Write a Narrative

Conceptual frameworks don't have to include a diagram or graphic. You can always present the same
information and evidence by writing a narrative.

•Return and Revise

As you begin your research, you may discover that certain elements of your conceptual framework are
no longer needed.
Research Hypothesis (Quantitative Research)

Research Hypothesis is vital to all research endeavors, whether qualitative or quantitative, exploratory
or explanatory.In developing a testable research hypothesis, it takes skill, however, along with careful
attention to how the proposed research method treats the development and

testing of hypotheses.The hypothesis in your study, you are predicting the relationship between two
variables.

Following are some hints for the formulation of your hypothesis.

›Be certain to read on the subject matter to explain with it before making a final decision.

›As noted, a research hypothesis is more than just a topic. It has two elements (variables) that are in
relation to each other. Your hypothesis is what you propose to "prove" by your research. As an outcome
of your research, you will arrive at a conclusion, a theory, or understanding that will be useful or
applicable beyond the research itself.

›Avoid judgmental and critical words in your hypothesis.

›Your hypothesis must involve an issue or question that cannot be answered exclusively by the discipline
of law.

›Be certain that each term if your hypothesis is clearly understood and defined, do not deal in
generalities or assume that the reader knows the meaning of the technical term.

›Specify, if appropriate, whether you will be dealing with state or federal law or both on a comparative
basis if appropriate.

›Know that your hypothesis may change over time as your research progresses.

You must obtain the teacher's approval of your hypothesis, as well as any. modifications to your
hypothesis, before proceeding with any work on the topic.

You will be expressing your hypothesis in 3 ways:

›As a one-sentence hypothesis.

›As a research question.

›As a title for your paper.

›As a title for your paper.

Your hypothesis will be part of your research proposal.

Writing a Statement of the Problem

Writing a problem statement can help the researcher put the topic in context and have a deeper
understanding of its significance. A problem statement may be written in several paragraphs or in
several sentences incorporated in the introduction.

You may start with the following phrases:

a) The aim of this study is to determine...

b) This project aims to explore....

c) I aim to investigate.....

Purpose of the Statement of the Problem:

›To describe the substantive focus of the research study To frame it as

› A larger theoretical policy

›A practical problem and thereby, develop its significance

›To pose initial research questions.

›To forecast the literature to be discussed in the second section and

›To discuss the limitations of the study.

Narcissism in Teenagers: Root Causes, Manifestations and Interventions

The different parts of the problem statement will be written as follows:

Introduction

Taking selfies or a video of oneself has become a social phenomenon that has been brought about by
the use of modern gadgets, particularly the mobile phone- adolescents take pictures or videos of
themselves, their possessions, their latest happenings or gigs, their friends, their food-anything, anyone
they take a fancy on, anywhere, anytime. A good number of people say that this social phenomenon has
evolved into narcissism. There is, to date, a dearth of research on this topic.

Statement of the Problem

Major Problem: This study aims to investigate the root causes of narcissism, as well as its manifestations
and possible forms of intervention.

Specific Problems: Specifically, it seeks to answer the following questions:

›What are the underlying causes of narcissism?

›How has technology contributed to narcissistic behavior?

›What are the manifestations of narcissistic behavior in adolescents?

›What forms of intervention can be done to address this behavior of

adolescents?

›How can the following help in developing healthy self-esteem, positive outlooks

and attitudes in adolescents?

Parents

Curriculum Planners

Administrators

Teachers

Guidance Counsellors,Peers,
IMPORTANTANCE OF THE STUDY

the section on the significance of the study provides information to the reader on how the study

will contribute. It must be exactly stated, however, what the study will contribute and who will benefit
from it.

Sample Significance of the study:

Significance of the Study

The researcher believed that the result of this study will help the following assess the 4Ps program and
its effect to the performance of the pupils.

The Department of Social Welfare and Development. The researcher believes that the result of this
study will be of great importance to the department since they are the ones monitoring the 4Ps
program. May this study serve as the basis in the modification of the conditions in giving cash grants.

The Administrators. The result of the study would be the basis of constructing and implementing new
and innovative teaching aids to help teachers fully supervise and assess the pupils to achieve their full
potentials, since children are financially. supported in their studies by the government.

The Teachers. The result of this study may help the teacher in constructing and developing new teaching
strategies to help the students in their performance and be mindful that even if students are provided
and supported by the government, they still need equal guidance to perform well in school. The factors
affecting the performance of the students may also help the teacher as their basis in making daily
lessons.

The Parents. The result of this study will inform the parents that their guidance is a big impact on the
performance of the students in school.

The Students. May the result of this research help the student in understanding that coming to school
daily may be a guarantee that they will also have good academic performance. And may the result give
them the overview of how the government is supporting their studies and that they must do their part
by studying well.
SCOPE AND LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY

The scope and delimitation of the study set borders and limitations of the problem inquiry and narrow
down the scope of the inquiry.

The purpose of the delimitation of the study is to delimit by geographic location, age, sex, population
traits, population size, or other similar aspects. Delimitation makes study more manageable and
feasible. Part of it sets the constraints or weaknesses of a study which are beyond the control of the
researcher.

Examples of Delimitation of Research

›This study covers only those families in Barangay San Jose, Pasig City, benefited by the government's
Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program.

›This study includes only those English freshman classes that use both Blended Learning and standard
ways of Language teaching.
