Initial Parts of Research Proposal

Instruction: In group, write the RESEARCH TITLE, PROPOSAL ABSTRACT AND INTRODUCTION of your
research interest/topic approved by your Practical Research 2 teacher. Follow the guidelines below:

I. Research Title
1. Research title must be reflective of its problem.
2. It must answer the following questions:
2.1. What question will answer THE FOLLOWING:
2.1.1. What are you trying to investigate?
2.1.2. What are you trying to find out, determine or discover?
2.2. Who question will answer who are the respondents or subject of the study
2.3. Where question will indicate the research locale, setting or place where the
research is conducted.

II. Proposal Abstract

(What do you intend to do? Briefly discuss the problem statement, general and specific
objectives of the study.)

III. Introduction
(Some parts may be deleted but at minimum should contain the significance of the study)

Background of the Study

1. The proponent should describe the existing and prevailing problem situation based on
his/her experience. This scope may be global, national; regional and local.
2. The proponent should give STRONG JUSTIFICATION for selecting such research problem
in his/her capacity as a researcher. Being part of the organization or systems and the
desire and concern to improve the systems.
3. The researcher should link and relate the background of the study to the proposed
research problem.

Significance of the Study

1. This section describes the contribution of the study to knowledge. This could be in the
form of new knowledge in the field, a check on the major findings of other studies, a
check on the validity of findings in a different population, a check on trends over time
and a check on the other findings using different methodology.
2. It discusses the importance of the study to the society, the country, the government, the
community, the institution, the agency concerned, the curriculum planners and
developers and to the researchers.
3. It expounds on the study’s probable impact to education, science, technology, on-going
researchers and etc.

Statement of the Problem

1. There should be an introductory statement which reflects the main problem of the
study.
2. Sub-problem should be stated in such a way that it is NOT answerable by either yes,
now, when and where.
3. Sub-problems should include all the variable which are reflected in the conceptual
framework.
4. Sub-problems should be arranged in logical order and extensive in coverage and must
be mutually exclusive in its dimensions.
5. Quantitative research should avoid the “HOW” questions.

Assumptions

PCC@109: “Missio et Evangelizatio”

1. Assumption refers to a proposition of some occurrences or considerations that may be

considered in eliminating the area of the study.
2. It is a proposition which a researcher asserts based on his own intuition, experience, and
observations but which is not scientifical proven. It is adopted as a premise to the
solution of the problem envisioned in his study.

Definition of Terms
1. The terms which connote different meaning from the conceptual or dictionary
definitions should be operationally defined to facilitate the full understanding of the text
by the readers.
2. The terms to be operationally defined are those used throughout the study and may be
a word or a phrase, usually taken from the title, the statement of the problem or
hypothesis.
3. The terms should be arranged in alphabetical order and the definitions should be stated
in complete sentences.

Scope and Limitations

1. This section explains the nature, coverage and time frame of the study.
2. It presents in brief the subject area of investigation, the place, the time period, or school
year covered.
3. It discusses the variables included in the study and the exclusion of other variables
which are expected to be included.
4. It indicates the extent of capability of results arising from the sampling population.

-------------------------------------------------

IV. Review of Related Literature

1. Related literature includes research findings, published or unpublished theories and
principles formulated by experts or authorities in some filed or discipline; and ideas or
opinions of experts contained in books, pamphlets, magazines and periodicals.
2. It should be written in terms of the purpose of the study.
3. It should give more weight to studies considered more authoritative as evaluated and
should give reference to primary rather than secondary sources.
4. It should be organized thematically to conform with the specific problems.
5. It should be synthesized such that evidence from all the studies reviewed would get an
overall understanding of the state of knowledge in the problem area.

V. Conceptual/Theoretical Framework/Methodology of the Study

1. Conceptual Framework
1.1. The conceptual framework is the schematic diagram which shows the variables
included in the study.
1.2. Arrows or line should be properly placed and connected between boxes to show the
relationship between the independent and dependent variables.
1.3. All the independent and dependent variables should be clearly discussed and
explained how these would influence the result of the study.

2. Theoretical Framework
2.1. The theoretical framework consists of theories, principles, generalizations and
research findings which are closely related to the present study under investigation.
It is in this framework where the present research problem understudy evolved.
2.2. Authors of these theories and principles should be cited. As much as possible
research findings and theories should be correct.

3. Methodology
This discusses the research locale, research design, population sampling or respondents
of the study, research instrument, and the statistical treatment of data.

3.1.Research locale
3.1.1. This discusses the place or setting of the study. It describes in brief the place
where the study is conducted. Only important features which have the
bearing on the present study are included.
3.1.2. Shows the target population.

3.2.Research Design

with permission from the author or from other sources.
3.4.2. The parts of the instrument should be explained and what bits of
information are derived.
3.4.3. The establishment of validity and reliability should be explained and only
experts should be chosen to validate such instrument. Specific and
appropriate statistical test used should be given and the computed values
derived. Interpretation should be included in the discussion.
