    Sample Research Question
    Research Question

    This study aimed to develop a training module in support of the secondary mathematics
    programs in the Division of Lipa City with the end in view of obtaining strong mathematics
    programs that will empower the mathematics teachers to be more competent and promote a
    comprehensive school program for the needs of the students.
    Specifically, the study sought answers to the following questions:
    1. How may the mathematics program be described in terms of:
    1.1 Philosophy/Objectives,
    1.2 Curriculum ,
    1.3 Faculty,
    1.4 Teaching Method and Strategies,
    1.5 Learning Resources, and
    1.6 Evaluation?
    2. What are the criteria for conducting quality training sessions?
    3. How do the administrators and teachers assess the current training programs in the
    division as to:
    3.1 Qualification of trainers,
    3.2 Content,
    3.3 Attitudes of trainees, and
    3.4 Training modes?
    4. How do the responses of administrators and teachers compare?
    5. What problems are encountered during most training sessions in mathematics?
    6.What training module may be developed to support a strong mathematics program?
    Scope, Delimitation and Limitation of the Study
    This includes the coverage of the study area, the duration of the study
    and the constraints that have direct bearing on the results of the study.

    • The scope of the study in the research paper contains the explanation of
    what information or subject is being analyzed.

    • The delimitation of the study is the description of the boundaries set for
    the study. This explains the things that a reader might reasonably expect
    the researcher to do but, for clearly explained reasons, have decided not
    to do (e.g. the population not under study, methodological approaches not
    used, etc.) It will explain why definite aspects of a subject where chosen
    and why others were excluded.

    • The limitation of the study underscores the shortcomings, conditions or


    influences that cannot be controlled by the researcher that place
    restrictions on the methodology and conclusions. Any limitations (e.g. the
    instruments utilized, the sample, time constraints, etc.) that might
    influence the results should be mentioned.
    Sample Scope, Delimitation and Limitation of the Study
    Significance of the Study

    The researcher must present the


    significance of the study from a deductive
    point of view. In the deductive perspective,
    presentation of the study starts from general
    to particular. For instance, from policy
    makers to future researchers.

    which have bearing on the present study, its synthesis, theoretical and conceptual
    frameworks, hypothesis (for quantitative research) and definition of key terms.

    • The researcher is required to identify existing theories which link to the study
    because theories are useful devices for interpreting, criticizing and unifying
    established specific laws or facts that guide in discovering new generalizations.
    • Theoretical paradigm (optional) is presented in this section.
    • The paradigm of variables such as independent variables, intervening variables and
    dependent variables in the study must be presented.

    is formulated and temporarily adopted to explain the observed facts covered by the
    study.

    procedures used in gathering the data as well as the statistical tools to treat the data.

    • The researcher chooses the most appropriate research design for the present study.
    • The purpose of the study as an introductory statement must be stated. In achieving
    the purpose, the researcher must mention the research design to be used and the
    instrument to be employed in the conduct of the study. For the last paragraph in the
    research design, the researcher should look for the definition of the research method
    to be used. Citations must be indicated.
    • For the subjects of the study, there must be a discussion on how and where the
    subjects will be taken from. It can be the total population or a sample if population

    CHAPTER III
    RESEARCH METHOD AND PROCEDURE
    This chapter presents the research design, subjects of the study, the instrument and
    procedures used in gathering the data as well as the statistical tools to treat the data.

    • For data gathering instrument, the following are discussed herein: construction,
    validation, administration, retrieval, scoring of responses.
    • For data gathering procedure, the researcher must present the process of gathering
    data. The first paragraph should give emphasis on how the researcher will seek
    approval (e.g. by writing letter). The second paragraph should contain the process of
    seeking approval and consent (e.g. parent’s consent). The last paragraph must focus
    on discussing the research ethics.
    • For data analysis, the statistical tools to be used in answering research questions
    must be described as used in the present study.
