What’s New
Before you graduate from Senior High School, there is one thing that you have to
accomplish that is writing and presenting a research paper. Equipped with all the
knowledge, skills, and research techniques that you have learned in your Senior High
School research subjects, you can easily accomplish the task. You are expected to
produce a good research paper and the topic should be within the research priorities in
various fields of study. Learning to write a research paper may be helpful later in your
life, as you proceed to college and as you advance in your career and to learn more about
your topic of interest.

What Is It
Purpose of Writing the Report
4
One characteristic of research is that it must be properly recorded, reported and
communicated. After all, the ultimate objective of research is dissemination. Without the
research report, the whole research undertaking is deemed incomplete.

Aquino (1992) outlined the purposes of writing the report:

1. The research report serves to record and communicate to others the

procedure and the results of the investigation.

2. It fulfils an important function in the process of research: the

researcher, in the act of writing, defines his thinking.

3. The research report facilitates the critical testing of the work done.

4. Until the investigator has prepared a complete report, he should not

consider that he has completed his research.

5. If the investigator is desirous of communicating his work to others,

then his research report must be well written, that is, if that purpose of
communicating to others is to be fulfilled effectively.

The Preliminaries
The preliminaries consist of the title page, approval sheet, acknowledgment, table of
contents, list of tables, list of figures and the abstract of the study.

a. Title Page
The title page occupies the first page of the research report. This takes several form and
style which differ from one school to another. Basically, the title page contains the
following:

6
 a. title of the research topic
b. name of the researcher/author
c. the degree or course taken to which the research report is a requirement
d. the name of the institution where the report is submitted
e. the date of the report presentation or submission

b. Approval Sheet
This a part of the preliminaries which reflects the signatures of the adviser, the panel
members of the thesis/dissertation committee as well as the dean. The signatures of
these individuals indicate acceptance and approval of the work. Like the title page, the
approval sheet takes several forms which vary from one school to another.

c. Acknowledgment
In this place, the researcher expresses his personal and profound appreciation to the
persons, individuals, groups or organizations for the support and assistance afforded to
him which brought the study to completion.

d. Table of Contents
The table of contents gives a run down and listing of all the contents of the research
report. Here, references for each topic and section of the report are indicated.

e. List of Tables
The list of tables, to some extent is a table of contents reflecting the table numbers, the
title of the heading of each table and the corresponding page numbers. The full and
complete titles of tables should be worded exactly as they appear in the body or text of
the report.

f. List of Figures
Figures, charts, drawings including maps, photographs, etc. Like the table, this list shall
also reflect the number of figures, the title of the figure and the corresponding number
to which it can be found. Moreover, the full and complete titles of the figures should be
worded exactly as they appear in the body or text of the report.

g. Abstract
An abstract is a brief summary of the research report. It provides the reader an overview
of the research, the problem, the method, the major findings, conclusions and
recommendations. The highlight of the abstract is the researcher’s exposition of the
findings of the study. Some readers who are interested of the findings of the study do
not have time to read the full paper. Thus, the abstract provides the reader a synopsis
of the major findings including a glimpse of the whole research report. An abstract
typically, should contain between 200-300 words ( Tomakin, 2010).

Chapter 1: THE PROBLEM AND ITS SCOPE

Chapter 1 presents the problem and its scope. This is the introductory chapter of the
main thesis which is divided into several components.

a. Rationale
In writing the rationale of the study, the researcher presents adequate background of
the study. He may start writing about the problem, its existence, prevalence ad
seriousness. He describes the problem by first considering the global or national

7
situation and narrows down to the local setting. At the end of this exposition, the
researcher should make an explanation or justification why the study is being pursued.

b. Theoretical Framework
In this section, the researcher shall point out the theory or theories from which his or
her study is based. Thus, he or she writes:

In the exposition of the theoretical framework, the research should cite the name of the
theory or theories, its authors, the year it was formulated and what the theory is about.
The researcher should also indicate how the theory is applicable to his study.

c. Statement of the Problem

In this section, the researcher should be able to state the main or general problem
followed by the specific problems. The statement of the problem nay be written either in
question form or in objective form.
See sample in the next page.

d. Statement of the Hypothesis (Optional)

If the statement of the problem does not contain any question from which a hypothesis
can be derived, then there is no need to include this section. This section therefore is
optional depending whether or not the statement of the problem requires a hypothesis
testing procedure.

e. Significance of the Study

This section contains a narrative of how the study stands to benefit its various
stakeholders. Thus, the researcher should be able to identify as to who will be benefitted
in his or her study and in what way.

f. Scope and Limitation

The scope defines the coverage or boundaries of the study, in terms of the area or
locality, the subjects covered, the duration or period of the study, and the research
issues or concerns to which the investigation is focused, Limitations on the other hand
are statements which alert the reader of the research report to certain constraints for
which the researcher has no control of.

g. Definition of Terms
In research, important key terms should be clearly defined in order to facilitate
understanding of the terms used. The function of having a clear definition of terms is to
provide unambiguous meanings to terms that otherwise can be interpreted in different
ways.
There are two basic ways of defining terms: conceptual definition and operational
definition. Conceptual definition provides the universal meaning of terms understood
by people. Too often, conceptual definition is abstract and more general in nature. The
operational definition of terms, on the other hand, provides meaning of terms according
to how they are used in the study. Most research papers, theses and dissertations prefer
to use the operational definition of terms for clarity and ease of understanding.

Chapter 2: THE REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES

8
This chapter contains two sections namely, Related Literature and Related Studies.
Depending on the format adopted by the college or school, this chapter is sometimes
fused when the section on Theoretical Framework in Chapter 1.

Chapter 3: RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

This chapter presents an exposition of the research methods, subjects/respondents,

environment, instruments and research procedures.

a. Research Method
In this section, the researcher should be able to state the research methods (
quantitative, qualitative or quali-quantitative method) and how it is applicable to his
study. If he uses a certain research method then he should state the particular design
that he used.

b. Research Respondents
The research respondents of the study are the actual respondents, who actually
responded, answered and returned the questionnaire. In this section, the researcher
describes the research respondents in terms of how many they are including some of
their personal characteristics and attributes.

c. Research Environment
Here, the researcher describes the locale of his study, that is the place where the study
was conducted.

d. Research Instrument
In this section, the researcher describes the research instrument that he used in data
gathering. He will mention whether the questionnaire is standardized, researcher-made
or adopted. If the questionnaire is researcher-made, then he must point out the schemes
by which the validity and reliability of the questionnaire is established. Moreover, if the
questionnaire is adopted from a previous study, then the source must be acknowledged.

In describing the questionnaire, the researcher must also discuss the scales used for
each item including the scoring procedures. A qualitative description of the scales must
also be discussed.

e. Data Gathering Procedure

In this section, the researcher gives a step by step and chronological account as to how
the data were gathered. An account of data gathering stages starting from the planning
phase until the administration of questionnaire to the respondents is likewise
discussed.

f. Statistical Treatment of Data (quantitative and quali-quanti research only)

In this section, the researcher shall enumerate the different statistical tools that he used
in the analysis of data. The formula of each statistical tool shall likewise be presented.

Chapter 4: PRESENTATION, ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION OF DATA

9
This chapter is the heart of the research report. It is in this chapter that the data
gathered from the survey are presented and analyzed. The results of the analysis will be
interpreted.

To recall, data can be presented in three ways namely; textual, tabular and graphical
display. Of these three ways, the most common mode of data presentation in research
report such as theses or dissertations is the tabular display. In the tabular display, the
data should be presented according to the order of the sub-problems reflected in the
Statement of the Problem. Moreover, the title of the table should clearly describe the
nature of the data presented. Whenever possible, tables should not be divided.

Each table should be accompanied by a narrative which explains the findings presented.
The researcher should avoid table reading. In interpreting the results, the researcher
should establish an interconnection between and among data. Moreover, the researcher
should link the present findings with previous literature, studies or existing theories
and should draw out implications of the findings.

Chapter 5: SUMMARY, CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

This is the final chapter of the research report. This contains four sections namely
summary, summary of findings, conclusions and recommendations.

a. Summary of Findings
In this section, only the major and salient findings of each problem must be presented.
There are two ways of presenting the summary of findings: narrative form and
enumeration form. In theses and dissertations, the enumeration form is the most widely
accepted and commonly used.

b. Conclusions
In this section, the researcher states the conclusion which he draws based on the
findings of the study. No conclusion should be made that were not based on the findings
of the study. Moreover, conclusions should never repeat or restate the findings of the
study. Inwriting conclusions, the researcher may point out whether the theory of
theories to which his study is supported by his findings or not.

c. Recommendations
Recommendations are formulated based on the findings and conclusions of the study.
In writing recommendations, the researcher must see to it that the recommendation
which he proposed must be implementable, doable, and functional. A recommendation
of topics or problems for further studies may be included.

REFERENCES
The third ingredient of a research report is the Reference Materials. This part presents
all the reference materials used in the study using a standard format as applied to the
study.

APPENDICES
The section on appendices typically included the transmittal letter used in asking for
permission to conduct the study. This also includes the sample questionnaire, forms,
interview guides and other forms used in data gathering.

10
CURRICULUM VITAE
This is the last section of the reference materials. This contains a brief personal data of
the researcher. Typically, this consists of the following information about the researcher.

Sample Significance of the Study

Significance of the Study

The study must be conducted to find out the major causes of teenage pregnancy

and the extent of the effect of teenage pregnancy on the development of students and

out-of-school youth in Maramag, Bukidnon. The result of this study is beneficial to

students and out-of-school youth, to the parents, teachers ,to the community, school

administrators, researchers and other interested individuals because this can give

empirical data as bases for suggestions on minimizing teenage pregnancy in the

community.

The study will also benefit students who are still at school because it will give

them information about the causes of teenage pregnancy and its possible effects on their

studies.

The study will also benefit the out-of-school youth in the sense that they are

making aware of the causes of teenage pregnancy and are helped to avoid the same to

increase their chances to participate in the Alternative Learning System(ALS) or increase

their chances to go the formal school.

This study will also benefit the parents to enable them to realize their great

role in educating their teenagers, protecting, and diverting them from indulging

premarital sex. This study, too, will make the parents aware that education about the

use of contraceptives will start also at home.

18
 This study will also benefit the teachers on the steps to take for they could be

informed how important education is to the development of children to

manhood/womanhood. This enables them to guide and identify the major causes of

teenage pregnancy especially in Maramag, Bukidnon.

This study will benefit school administrators. It will provide them information

on the importance of knowing the major factors behind early pregnancy and the possible

effects on educational development of teenagers. It is one way that administrators will

intensify sex education in their school, improve the knowledge of their teachers yearly

age.

Finally, the researcher hopes that the result of this study would also be a great

help to future researchers and to all people who are interested to know more about

teenage pregnancy-their causes and the possible effects on their educational

development.
