Module 5 Formulating A Quantitative Research Problem

Here are the key points I learned from this module: - Formulate the general and specific problems to guide the research. Develop a clear research title based on the problems. - The significance of the study section discusses how the results of the research will benefit different groups like teachers, students, curriculum developers etc. - The scope and delimitations of the study defines the scope or range of topics covered in the research. It also mentions any limitations of the study in terms of methods, sample size, time frame etc. This module provided guidance on developing important sections of a research study like the statement of problems, research title, significance of the study, and scope and delimitations.

competency you should acquire by the end of the presented lesson. Read carefully each of
the instructions below and accomplish every task to perform successfully with this learning
material. Think critically and have fun! Follow carefully all the contents and instructions
indicated in every part of this Module.
The following study tips should be taken into consideration as it will help you in attaining the
objectives of this Module:
1. Write on your notebook the concepts about the lessons. Keep in mind that Writing
develops and enhances learning,
2. Perform all the provided activities in the Module.
3. Let your facilitator/guardian assess your answers.
4. Analyze conceptually the post-test and apply what you have learned.
5. Enjoy studying!

PARTS OF THE MODULE

1. Expectations- This will provide what you will be able to know after completing the
lessons in the Module.

2. Pre-test – This will assess your prior knowledge and the concepts to be mastered
throughout the lesson.

3. Looking Back – This section will measure the skills that you learned understand
from the previous lesson.

4. Brief Introduction – This section will give you an overview of the lesson.

5. Activities – These are activities designed to develop your critical thinking and other
competencies that you need to master. This can be done solely or with your partner
depending on the nature of the activity.
6. Remember – This section summarizes the concepts and applications of the lessons.

7. Checking your Understanding – This will verify how you learned from the lesson.

8. Post-test– This will measure how much you have learned from the entire worksheet.

Expectations:
Check your Understanding:
After forming a working research title, the next section to write is the significance of the study.
In this section, you are expected to write the importance of the study. Your study should specify the
role of your study to different groups of people. Let's take a look at the following example.

The outcomes of this study are the ‘students’ images and general views of the students
toward chemistry and learning chemistry which can serve as a diagnostic tool before
instruction begins and may also serve as an assessment tool after a topic has been
discussed to facilitate the learning process in the classroom.

The students' images on chemistry described in their drawings and their views'
general profile are of educational value because insights into the students' images will
direct teachers to think of appropriate teaching strategies to effectively address the
students' problem in understanding specific concepts.

Lastly, curriculum developers, researchers, and classroom teachers could also


creatively develop appropriate methods of discussing a particular concept among students
to demonstrate or acquire a deep and holistic approach in managing their learning
process in chemistry.

achievement. Master's Thesis. Philippine Normal University, Manila

Based on this example, the results of the research will be


beneficial to certain groups of people such as the curriculum Ide«
developers, researchers, and most importantly, to the teachers. T
This is how you state the significance of your study. You may .
use the following guidelines in writing the significance of the
study:
• The results of your study should benefit certain groups
of people,

• Write the significance of the study in paragraph


form.
• Limit the number of paragraphs depending on the number of beneficiaries of your study.

Aside from the significance of the study, you also need to write the scope and delimitation
of the study. This section describes the scope of your research and some limitations such as the
time allotment, limited instruments, and your sample size. The following is an example:

The study is focused and limited only on the students' images about chemistry
depicted on their drawings and further validated based on their responses on the open-
ended questions, while the students' profiles on their views on chemistry and learning
chemistry were categorized based on the survey instrument.

The research instruments were only administered once and no achievement tests were
given to the respondents. The achievement in chemistry of the respondents based 1
on the final grade in S-CHM 11 (General Chemistry 1) taken during the first semester, S.Y.
2008-2009.

' Only four groups of students were used as respondents of the study. They were all
second year college students taking up Bachelor of Secondary Education majors in
Biology, Chemistry, General Science, and Physics.

As you can see in the above example, what you can write in the scope and delimitation of the
study section of your research may include range of topics of your research, limitations of
your methods, time frame of the study, and your sample size. This is an important part of
your research because this will define the range of the research. In writing the scope and
delimitation, you may use the following guides:

• Use only two to three paragraphs.


• Write only the range of topics being studied.
• You may include the time frame, sample size, and the limitation of the methods to be
employed.
Activities:

To practice selecting a good research problem or questions, you may accomplish an

• What is discussed in the significance of the study section of the research7

• What is discussed in the scope and delimitation of the study?


I A L I.E.•¥RN I N G
In this module, you learned to formulate the general and specific problems. addition, you also
learned to write the research title based on the statement of the problems. This module also
helps you to write the significance of the study and the scope and delimitations of the study.
