Delimitation of The Study

The document discusses the delimitations of a study, which are limitations that arise from aspects of the research design and methodology that influence the findings. Specifically, it notes that the scope of a study defines the variables of focus but delimitations identify other variables not considered, and limitations are constraints on interpretation and applicability. As an example, if a study of computer-aided teaching only looked at one school, its findings may not apply elsewhere. Potential limitations include small sample size, lack of data or prior studies, data collection methods, and information collected. Researcher characteristics like access, time period, bias, and language can also impact limitations.

DELIMITATION OF THE STUDY

The delimitation of the study describes the various limitations that arose during the design and conduct
of the study. These include the characteristics of the research design and methodology that affected or
influenced the findings of the study. These limitations are constraints on certain aspects of the research,
such as the interpretation of data and the applicability and usefulness of the results and findings.
The limitations of the study are defined primarily by the scope of the study. While the scope of the study
defines the variables that are the focus of the research, the delimitation of the study identifies the other
variables that were not considered for the study. The limitations that are identified are only those that
are significant or may have had an impact on the findings of the study. For instance, in the study on the
effect of computer-aided teaching on student performance, the researcher only focused on students in a
specific school. Therefore, one limitation of the study would be that the findings andconclusions are only
applicable to the particular school that was selected and may not apply to other schools in the country.
The characteristics of chosen respondents, as well as the time period and place where the research was
done, are major variables that define the scope and delimitation of a research
The following may be the possible limitations that may arise from the research design and methodology:
1. Sample Size
2. Lack of available and/or reliable data
3. Lack of prior studies
4. Chosen data collection method
5. Nature of the information collected
Apart from the design and methodology, the characteristics of the researcher and the limits that he or
she experiences in the conduct of the research will also give rise to limitations. These are as follows:
1. Access
2. Time period
3. Bias
4. Language
