    PRACTICAL

    RESEARCH 2
    Steps in Developing
    Research Topic
    1. Choose a broad topic
    a. Choose an interesting topic
    b. Select a significant topic
    c. Choose a topic relevant to your field
    2. Do a preliminary research
    3. Define the problem
    4. Refine the question
    Basic Guidelines in
    Making a Research Title
    1. Use an accurate description of the subject and scope
    of the study instead of using general terms.
    2. Do not use abbreviations except for commonly known
    ones like DNA and ICT.
    3. Do not include words like “The study of,” “analysis of,”
    “an investigation of” or similar construction as these
    would only lengthen the title.
    Basic Guidelines in
    Making a Research Title
    4. Include the main dependent and independent
    variables.
    5. Be mindful of the proper use of grammar and
    punctuation.
    6. Capitalize all nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives,
    adverbs as well as the first letter of the first and last
    words.
    Basic Guidelines in
    Making a Research Title
    7. State in a declarative form, although you may also see
    titles in question form from time to time.
    8. The year the study has been conducted should not be
    indicated unless it is a historical study.
    9. Use current terminology.
    10. Depending on the institutional requirements, 5 to15
    words are sufficient to describe the research study
    Basic Guidelines in
    Making a Research Title
    11. Use the common name instead of chemical formula
    (e.g., NH4)
    12. Write and italicize the full scientific names.
    13. Must reflect the tone of the paper. An academic
    research paper has title that is not casual, or informal, or
    does not contain humor.
    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.
    • 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.
    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.
    • Reading through the Discussion, Conclusion, or the
    Recommendations sections of the articles will help
    you know potential areas of study that need further
    attention.
    Guide Questions in
    Making Background
    of the Study

    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?
    A research problem is simple as a problem you would
    Research like to research. Quantitative Research Problem deals
    more with the precision and specificity of the

    Problem problem. Furthermore, the quantitative research


    problem describes trends and patterns of a
    phenomenon.

    In your written paper, the research questions can be


    found in your Statement of the Problem, where it
    formally introduces the problem you want to
    investigate or address
    Research The research questions help clarify and specify

    Question the research problem. They are also considered


    as sub-problems of your research problem and
    are informative in nature. They specify the
    method of collecting and analyzing data, and
    the type of data to be collected when exploring
    a quantitative research problem.
    Characteristics of a Good
    Research Question
    FEASIBLE
    CLEAR
    Consider the amount of time, energy, money,
    The clarity of how the questions are stated lead
    respondents, and even your current situation to agreement of meaning of the readers of your
    as a student-researcher. Is the research study. Since your research questions are also
    problem possible? Will it not spend considered as the main focus in the gathering
    unreasonable amount? and analyzing the data, it is therefore very
    important that these are stated clearly
    Characteristics of a Good
    Research Question
    SIGNIFICANT
    ETHICAL
    Ask if your research questions are relevant or
    Always consider the welfare of people,
    important to ask. Will answering these
    animals or whosoever are involved in your
    questions provide an additional contribution
    study. Look into ways of answering the
    to address the given research problem? In
    research questions without inflicting physical
    other words, are the research questions really and psychological harm to persons involved.
    worth investigating?
    Research Research questions can be generally

    Question classified into two: general and


    specific. The general question of the
    study is derived from the research
    problem while the specific questions are
    anchored on the general research
    problem.
    STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

    EXAMPLE:
    b etw ee n th e t yp es of lear nin g
    Relation ship
    e a nd stu d en ts ’ le arn ing sty les
    delivery m o d
    STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
    This study aims to determine the relationship between the types
    learning delivery mode and students' learning styles.
    Furthermore, it seeks to answer the following research questions:
    (1) What are the different learning delivery modes of the school?
    (2) What the various learning styles of the students?
    (3) Is there a significant relationship between the different
    learning delivery modes of the school and the learning styles of
    its students?
    Research Questions for Descriptive Research
    focus on observing, describing, and reporting factors
    Research or aspects of the research problem. Phrases such as
    how often/frequently, how many/much, what is/are,

    Questions to what extent/degree, and the likes are used in


    these questions.

    Example: The Use of Social media among Senior


    High School Students
    1. What are the various social media platforms used by
    Senior High Students
    2. How many hours students spend on social media
    per day?
    Research Questions for Correlational Research
    aims to determine the relationships among two or
    Research more variables in your research problem.
    Correlational research questions usually begin with

    Questions the phrases “Is there a significant relationship...” or


    “What is the relationship between/among

    Example: The Study of Usage of Social Media and


    Level of Digital Literacy of Students
    1. What is the relationship between the length of
    hours spent on social media and level of digital
    literacy of students?
    2. Is there a significant relationship between the
    type of social media used and the level digital literacy
    of students?
    Research Questions for Experimental and
    Research Quasi-experimental Research
    suggest that answers to these questions are brought

    Questions about by manipulation or control of a certain variable


    during the conduct of the study. These questions
    provide explanation to the causal relationship of
    variables.

    Example: Study on Elementary Student’s Remedial


    Sessions and Academic Performance
    1. Is there a significant difference in the posttest
    scores of the control group and experimental group
    SCOPE and DELIMITATION

    The scope specifies the coverage of your study such as


    variables, population or participant, and timeline.
    Delimitation cites factors of your study that are not
    included or excluded or those you will not deal in your study
    DELIMITATION and
    LIMITATION
    Variables not included in your study are also determined by
    delimitation of your study. While on the other hand,
    limitation of the study are those variables included in your
    study. Hence, limitation of the study is actually the
    identified scope of the study
