questions and appreciate why they are asked (Creswell, 2013).

Statement of the Problem

This section contains the purpose statement and the research question(s).

Significance of the Study

Determines the audience who will benefit from a study of the problem and

explains how exactly will the results be significant to them.

 Scope and Delimitation

Chapter 2
REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE

This chapter of the paper presents the review of related literature, the

conceptual framework, the research hypotheses, and the definition of terms.

that describes the past and current state of information on the topic of your

METHODOLOGY

This chapter includes the research design, the sample, the instruments,

the data collection procedure, and the plan for data analysis.

Research Design

Research designs are the specific procedures involved in the research

process: sampling, data collection, and data analysis.

The Sample

The first step leading to the process of collecting quantitative data is to

identify the people and places you plan to study. This involves determining which

group of people will you study, who, specifically, these people are, and how many

of them you will need to involve

The Instrument(s)

This refers to the questionnaire or data gathering tool to be constructed,

validated and administered (Creswell, 2012).

Data Collection Procedure

Quickly describe whose permission will be sought and arrangements to

make to administer instruments. Describe when instruments will be administered

and who will administer them. Add details on arrangements and administration of

instruments, if needed.

Plan for Data Analysis

 This section indicates how the data will be analyzed and reported; it

should specify the qualitative and/or quantitative methods that will be used in

analyzing the data gathered for the research.

Chapter 4
PRESENTATION AND ANALYSIS OF DATA

In reporting the results, the researcher stays close to the statistical

findings without drawing broader implications or meaning from them. Further, this

section includes summaries of the data rather than the raw data (e.g., the actual

scores for individuals). A results section include tables, figures, and detailed

explanations about the statistical results

(Based on First Question in the SOP)

Includes results and discussion relevant to the first question of the

research or the first variable of the study.

(Based on Second Question in the SOP)

Includes results and discussion relevant to the second question of the

research or the second variable of the study.

Re-conceptualized Framework

If some or all findings are different from expected, have a section on re-

conceptualized framework at end of Chapter 4 and make diagram of re-

conceptualized framework. Starting with text, cite figure (diagram) of re-

 conceptualized framework. Explain changes vis-à-vis Conceptual Framework of

the Study.

Chapter 5
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

This chapter presents the conclusions and recommendations of the study.

Conclusions

The portion that gives meaning to your research and your results. The

objective of the Conclusion section is to examine the results, determine whether

they solve the research question, compare them within themselves and to other

results (from literature), explain and interpret them, and then draw conclusions or

derive generalizations, and make recommendations for applying the results or for

further research.

Recommendations

Write recommendations for beneficiaries of results of study cited in

Significance of Study.
