A. Significance of the Study
B. Literature Review
C. Scope and Delimitation
D. Conceptual Framework.

Q. Research studies usually include terms that must be carefully and precisely defined, so that
others know exactly what has been done and there are no ambiguities. There are Two types of
definitions can be given: conceptual definitions and operational definitions. Which statement does
NOT correctly illustrate the differences between these 2 terms?
A. A conceptual definition explains what to measure or observe (what a word or a term
means for your study), the underlying understanding of something that is necessary
to attain before understanding how it is used or applied while an operational
definition defines exactly how to measure or observe it, and the concept of
operational definition also applies to other technical terms that are not universally
defined.
B. A conceptual definition articulates what exactly is to be measured or observed in a
study, while an operational definition articulates how to capture (identify, create,
measure, assess etc.) the value.
C. Conceptual definition is a working definition of a concept or term (How you define
pedagogy) while an Operational definition specifies what operations should be performed to
measure a concept

D. An operational definition allows the researchers to describe in a specific way

what they mean when they use a certain term, generally, conceptual definitions
are concrete and measurable, and defining variables in this way allows other
people to see if the research has validity.

Q. In simple terms, this section basically presents the importance of your research. This
must be stated in the Introduction section of your research paper. While stating this
section, the researcher must highlight how the research will be beneficial to the
development of science and the society in general. What is described?
A. Significance of the Study
B. Literature Review
