Background of the Study

Consists of statement on how the researcher was led in conducting the study. Describe
the problem as clearly as possible. Researcher may quote from literatures related to the topic.

Statement of the Problem

This study aims to determine (research problem/title). Specific questions that the
researcher aims to answer are as follows; (arrange questions in order of importance)

1. State a general question to be answered by your research.

2. State a general question to be answered by your research.

3. State a general question to be answered by your research.

Theoretical Framework

This is the foundation of the research study. The researcher must look for at least one
reliable theory that will serve as the backbone of the research and support for the investigation
and observation of the problem being researched. This theory must be aligned to what the
researcher is trying to find out in the study.
Examples; (Cognitive Learning Theories, Behaviorism Theories, Constructivism
Theories, Humanism Theories, and Connectivism Theories).

 CHAPTER II
Related Literature

Before starting the review in this chapter, write a short introduction about the collected
literatures and its function to this research paper.
Related literature provides an overview of previous researches on knowledge sharing. It
introduces the basis for the research paper that contains the main focus of the researcher’s study
described in this research paper.
This chapter may consist of simply a summary of main points from journals, articles,
previous researches, electronic sources, etc. It usually has an organizational pattern that are
arranged in sub-topic often within specific conceptual categories. Especially if your topic is
broad, like in university performance, it makes sense to break down your discussion by topics.

Example of sub-topics for Chapter II:

Student Performance
Discuss in this part the literatures that the researcher gathered about student’s
performance related to you research paper.

Student’s Computer Literacy

Discuss in this part the literatures that the researcher gathered about Student’s Computer
Literacy related to you research paper.

Performance of Private Versus Public High Schools

Discuss in this part the literatures that the researcher gathered about Performance of
Private Versus Public High Schools related to you research paper.

NOTE: Always use American Psychological Association (APA) format It is an author/date-

based citation style. Emphasis is placed on the author and the date of a piece of work.
(Author, date) / Author (Date)
EXAMPLE:
Student performance in a case method course may be assessed along a variety of
dimensions including class participation, individual written work on papers and exams, and
group activities such as projects and presentations. (Bean & Peterson, 2004)

Computer literacy is the capability of using electronic gadgets and related similar
technologies effectively and efficiently. Tan (2022)

According to Lamas (2015) The academic performance involves factors such as the
intellectual level, personality, motivation, skills, interests, study habits, self-esteem or the
teacher-student relationship.

NOTE: Collect at least minimum of 7 related literature per subtopic to discuss in the
research paper. This will help in proving the fact stated in the paper.

After collecting related literatures, write a conclusion or summary to weave the gathered
data and make it whole and anchored to the research paper.

Purpose of the Study
The purpose of this (research design used) study will determine the relationship of
(independent and dependent variable) and will answer the following questions (Statement of the
Problem).

Methods
Clearly describe in details the participants, the data gathering materials (checklists,
questionnaires, surveys, etc.) and the procedure of gathering the research data.

Statistical Data Analysis

STEP 1:
To analyze statistical data, the researcher should first specify the hypothesis and use the
appropriate data gathering materials

In an experimental design, researcher can assess a cause-and-effect relationship (e.g., the

effect of time spent in mobile gaming on test scores) using statistical tests of comparison or
regression.

In a correlational design, researcher can explore relationships between variables (e.g.,

parental income and academic performance) without any assumption of causality using
correlation numbers and significance tests.
 For statistical analysis, it’s important to consider the level of measurement of your
variables. Quantitative data represents amounts. These may be on an interval scale (e.g. test
score, questionnaires, survey, etc.).

STEP 2:
Discuss how the researcher came up with the purposive sampling technique used in the
research paper in gathering the data.
STEP 3:
Describe how the researcher will collect all the data needed and inspect all the data and
use words to describe and summarize them.
Create a graph (bar graph, pie graph, line graph, etc.) that will visualize the description of
the data gathered.
STEP 4:
Assuming that there is already data gathered and already been explained and visualized,
describe how the hypothesis will be accepted or rejected.
STEP 5:
Conclude and summarize Chapter III

NOTE: Always use future tense in writing Chapter 3 research proposal. Use third person
point of view.
