Topic Title: RESEARCH QUESTIONS
Research Questions
 These can be derived from a variety of context.

 They can be from a general research area that interests us.
 These can be prompted by own personal interest or experience.
 These can also be prompted by a theory you are interested in.
The way you formulate your research question will also vary depending on whether you plan on doing
qualitative or a quantitative research or a combination o
f both. Regardless of these distinctions, there are certain characteristics that your research questions must have.
Thus, a variety of sources of research questions was suggested by Marx (1997) as cited by Bryman 2008, p.70.
Structures and Functions Empirical examples that trigger

amazement
Opposition
A social problem New methods and theories
New social and technical developments

Counter-intuitive
and social trends
Apart from relevance and salience of research questions, there are certain criteria that research questions
must satisfy.
Criteria for Evaluating Research Questions
1. Clear – They should be clear in the sense of being intelligible.

2. Researchable – They should allow you to do research in relation to them. This means that they should
not be formulated in term that are so abstract that they cannot be converted onto researchable items.
3. Connections with established theory – this means that they should be a literature on which you can
draw to help illuminate how your research questions should be approached. Even if you find a topic
that has been scarcely addressed by social scientist.
4. Linked to each other – unrelated research questions are unlikely to be replaceable, since you should be
developing an argument. You cannot readily construct a single argument in relation to unrelated
research questions.
5. Original contribution – They should at the very least hold out the prospect of being able to make an
original contribution, however small to the topic.
6. Neither too broad nor too narrow - the research questions should neither be too broad (so that
you would need a massive grant to study them) nor too narrow (so that you cannot make a
reasonably significant contribution to your area of study).

TOPIC SCOPE AND DELIMITATION OF THE STUDY
Indicates scope and delimitation of research
LEARNING Code:
Objective:
COMPETENCY CS_RS11-IIIc-e-5  Construct scope and delimitations
UNDERSTAND
Topic Title: SCOPE AND DELIMITATION OF THE STUDY
The scope and delimitations of a qualitative research are tandem ideas of what and what not the
researcher can do. The scope describes the coverage of the study and contains the explanation of what
information or subject is being analyzed. It specifies what is covered in terms of concept, number of subjects or
the population included in the study, as well as the timeline when the study was conducted. Depending on a
given subject, the scope can be large or small as there are different materials available for different researches.
Delimitations of the study are the characteristics that limit the scope and describe the boundaries of the study
such as the sample size, and where the study take place. These delimitations might be imposed for practical
reasons, such as lack of funds or financial resources and time.
What are the basic steps to write the scope of the study?
The basic steps in writing the scope of the study were emphasized by Ronald M.Henson and
Robert F. Soriano (2016) as follows:
Focus (subject matter coverage/title)
Locus (The place or location of the study)
Modus (Mode or manner of data gathering)
What is the importance of the scope and delimitation of the study?
 It is important to narrow down a research topic and limit the scope of the study
 It informs the reader about the limits or coverage of the study
 It also identifies the constraints or weakness of a research which are not within the control of
the research.
EXAMPLES OF WRITING A SCOPE AND DELIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY
Example No.1
The focus of this research is in the Lived Experiences among nurses specialized in Intensive Care Unit
of the Hospital. This study will be conducted at the Zamboanga Doctors Hospital Veterans Avenue, Zamboanga
City.

Actual Writing
Directions: Based on the approved title of your research and given examples, construct a scope and delimitations
of your study. (Write your answer on your paper)
REMEMBER
Key Points
The scope and delimitations of the study are the two elements of a research. The scope of the study
explains the extent to which the research area will be explored and specifies the total population included in the
study. Delimitations of the study are the characteristics that limit the scope and describe the boundaries of the
study such as the number of participants, or respondents who are excluded, time frame and where the study take
place. These delimitations might be imposed for practical reasons, such as lack of funds or financial resources
and time.
The basic steps in writing the scope of study are the following;
1. Focus –the subject matter/coverage
2.Locus- the place or location of the study
3. Modus – the mode or manner of data gathering

UNDERSTAND
Topic Title: SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
Good morning how are you today? As we start with our new lesson I hope all is well with you and your
family. Our lesson for today is about writing the significance of the study. The significance of the study is
basically the importance of your research and it must be stated in the introduction section of your research paper.
It provides details on how the study will contribute such as what the study will contribute and who will benefit
from it. It is sometimes called the rationale.
To know the significance of any inquiry, the researcher must first consider what the research rationale is.
The significance of the study is whatever you have considered it to be. You decide the significance of your study
and the better you can express this, the stronger your research will be. Researcher must have to study it over
many times before they can decide a direction where the research is going.
How it is stated in a research paper?
The statement of significance tells the reader why the study is important, describes how the problem will
be solved and specifically pinpoints who will benefit from such findings or results. Usually the beneficiaries of
the study are those experts concerned about the problem, the administrators or policy-makers who make the
decisions or implement programs, the subject themselves, future researchers and those who are directly or
indirectly affected by the problem. If the beneficiaries are only few, it can be written in one or two paragraphs.
However, if there are many beneficiaries write the following:
1st paragraph ………………………. (why is it important to conduct)

2nd paragraph ………………………. main beneficiary (organization)
3rd paragraph ……………………...... second beneficiary
4th paragraph ………………………...importance to the proponents/researcher
5th paragraph ………………………...importance to the future researchers

EXAMPLES OF WRITING A SIGNFICANCE OF THE STUDY

Example No. 1
Significance of the Study
This research work will bring into focus the development of teaching modules suited for freshmen non-
science students. This endeavor is vital to the following:
Teachers. The results of this study can provide suggestions about approaches which should be used by
teachers with intent on increasing the active involvement of students in their own learning. Self-instructional
modules using metacognitive strategies will provide twin benefits namely: a) it transfers responsibility for
monitoring learning from teachers to students and; b) it promotes positive self-perceptions and develops
motivation among students.
Students. It enables the students to have easy expression as they progress on their own learning. In
this manner, metacognition provides personal insights into one’s own thinking and fosters independent learning.
Curriculum Planners. For the curriculum planners, this material may provide sound bases for the
enrichment of the school curricula to develop more effective methods and techniques in teaching biological
subjects. This could provide baseline data on the evaluation of the curriculum development.
Educators. This will provide educators with an approach for enhancing the performance of the students.
Future Researchers. This study could provide direction to researchers who intend to conduct a similar
study. Moreover, the result of this study could lend support to some of the findings of their studies.
Example No. 2
Significance of the Study
This study will be undertaken to find out the classroom management techniques rendered by the special
education teachers in Sta. Maria Elementary School and to measure its effectiveness through the behaviors of
the children with special needs.
Benefitting the study are the various sectors as follows:
Students
The direct recipients of the output of this research are the children with special needs. Any
improvement of classroom management technique can pave the way of producing better learning and
discipline to survive and thrive in the society
Parents
The research benefits the parents of the children with special needs. As parents enrolled their
children in this institution, comes with self-assurance that their children are given more education that would
make them a functional individual in the society.
Teachers
This study will be very beneficial to the SPED teachers and general education teachers, especially
to the teachers who are still newbie in the teaching profession. Through this research, teachers may purposely
discover how classroom management is conducive to learning.
Curriculum Planner
This study may provide sound bases for the enrichment of the school curricula to develop more
effective methods and techniques of classroom management. This could provide baseline data on the
evaluation of the curriculum development.
Future Researchers.
This study could provide direction to researchers who intend to conduct a similar study. Moreover,
the result of this study could lend support to some of the findings of their studies.
