CHAPTER 1
1.Background of the Study - includes the purpose and
reason behind the conduct of the study. Also serves as the
introduction. (What made you conduct the study?)

2. Rationale - the justification for undertaking a given

study. It states the reason(s) why a researcher chooses to
focus on the topic in question, including what the
significance is and what gaps the research intends to fill.
In short, it is an explanation that rationalizes the need for
the study.
CHAPTER 1
3. Definition of Terms - defines technical terms based on
how they are used in the study, specifically in the title.
This aims to provide the readers or future researches with
the basic terminologies that are important to understand
the paper.

4. Statement of the Problem - the main problem that the

research is trying to solve. It specifically points the
important quuestions that the study needs to answer.
CHAPTER 1
5. Significance of the Study - presents the importance of
your research. It gives you an opportunity to prove the
study's impact on your field of research, the new
knowledge it contributes, and the people who will benefit
from it.

6. Theoretical Framework - the structure that can hold or

support a theory of a research study. The theoretical
framework introduces and describes the theory which
explains why the research problem under study exists.
CHAPTER 1
7. Scope and Delimitation - determines the coverage of
the study and all the things that it will not cover in order
to be specific.

8. Review of Related Literature - a detailed review of

existing literature related to the topic of a thesis or
dissertation. In an RRL, you talk about knowledge and
findings from existing literature relevant to your topic.
CHAPTER 2
1. Introduction
2. Body of the Thesis
3. Conclusion
CHAPTER 2
1. Introduction - As the first chapter or sometimes the
first section in a thesis, the introduction presents
and explains the study to readers, so all theses
require some sort of introduction. Depending on
university or department requirements and the
nature of the thesis, this part of the thesis might be
entitled ‘Introduction,’ ‘Background’ or something
more specific to the particular study, and in some
cases the introduction may not bear a main title at
all, but contain a number of sections with topic
headings.
CHAPTER 2
2. Body - The body is the largest part of a research
paper; in it you collect and arrange evidence that will
persuade the reader of your argument. It should,
therefore, have a logical organization. If the paper is
long, it is a good idea to partition the body into
sections using headings and sub-headings.
CHAPTER 2
3. Conclusion - The conclusion is the very last part of
your thesis or dissertation. It should be concise and
engaging, leaving your reader with a clear
understanding of your main findings, as well as the
answer to your research question. In it, you should:
Clearly state the answer to your main research
question
CHAPTER 3
1. Methodology
2. Respondents of the Study
3. Instruments of the Study
4. Data Gathering
5. Statistical Data
6. Results
CHAPTER 3
1. Methodology - the kind of research used by your study.
This answers why the method used is appropriate for the
study.

2. Respondents of the Study - those individuals who

complete a survey or interview for the researcher, or who
provide data to be analyzed for the research study.
Respondents can be any age, but determined by the scope
of the study, and must agree to informed consent to
participate.
CHAPTER 3
3. Instruments of the Study - a tool used to collect,
measure, and analyze data related to your subject.
Research instruments can be tests, surveys, scales,
questionnaires, or even checklists.

4. Data Gathering - the process of gathering and

measuring information on variables of interest, in an
established systematic fashion that enables one to answer
stated research questions, test hypotheses, and evaluate
outcomes.
CHAPTER 3
5. Statistical Data - are data that are collected and/or
generated by statistics in process of statistical
observations or statistical data processing.

6. Results - presents all the data gathered using the

questionnaire by tabulating all the gathered information.
Aside from the tables, an interpretation of each presented
data should follow. These will serve as the bases of the
summary of findings.
CHAPTER 4

1. Presentation, Analysis and

Interpretation of Data
CHAPTER 4

1. Presentation, Analysis and Interpretation of Data

- a crucial stage in conducting research, and
presents three key challenges: Selecting which
material will be used for drawing conclusions
about your work. Establishing the significance
(or otherwise) of material and identifying
potential weaknesses and limitations.
CHAPTER 5
1. Summary of Findings
2. Recommendations
3. Documentations
4. References
5. Author's Profiles
CHAPTER 5
1. Summary of Findings - summarizes the data given in
chapter 4. These should directly answer your statement of
the problem.

2. Recommendations - are arguably the most important

part of the analysis phase—this is where you'll suggest
specific interventions or strategies to address the issues
and constraints identified in the assessment.
Recommendations should directly respond to key findings
arrived at through data collection and analysis.
CHAPTER 5
3. Documentations - Research Documentation means
any and all documents, records, accounts, notes,
reports (including, without limitation, the progress
reports and the final report prepared in accordance
with the concerned provisions in the Agreement) and
other data from the Research related to the Materials,
whether in written, electronic, video or other tangible
form created by or by a third party on behalf of
Recipient.
CHAPTER 5
4. References - A citation is a reference to a published
or unpublished source that you consulted and obtained
information from while writing your research paper. The
way in which you document your sources depends on
the writing style manual your professor wants you to
use for the class [e.g., APA, MLA, Chicago, Turabian,
etc.].
CHAPTER 5
5. Author's Profile - are an excellent way to
showcase and promote an author's scholarly work.
