I. Introduction

Edwards and Talbot, 1999


“Being selfish is something few adults would, openly at least, admit to.
Yet it is central to the sanity of the hard-pressed researcher. At the
start of your project, you are about to take on a considerable
commitment which is probably in addition to many continuing
demands on your time… So be selfish, focus on what interests you,
think about your curriculum vitae and your future professional
development as well as the impact your study may have on the
workplace, and then step forward with confidence.”
Choosing a research topic is probably the most important single
decision you have to make in doing research.

reflective thinking.

Research
is a continuous cycle. It always begins with the identification
and formulation of the problem and ends up with the solution
to the problem.

• The statement of the problem is therefore the axis that the


totality of research revolves around. This is because the
problem will explain in brief the aim of research.
There are many problem situations that may give rise to
research. Three sources usually contribute to problem
identification:
Own experience or the
Scientific literature
experience of others Theories

Essential Elements in
Choosing Specific Topic
1. Independent Variable
Examples : Children’s Family
Background, Store’s Costumers
Services, Working Conditions,
Computer Fun Camp, Sales
Compensation
2. Dependent Variables
Examples : Academic Performance,
Frequency of Customer’s Shopping,
Job Performance, Number of Guests,
Package Volume of Sales
III. Samples of Research Title

1. Use of Computer-Aided Instruction in the Teaching


of Mathematics to First Year High School Students:

IV . STATEMENT OF HYPOTHESIS

• A hypothesis is a declarative statement which is


tentative in nature.
• For descriptive-survey research, an explanatory or
casual hypothesis is well in order.
• The casual variable is called the independent
variable and the other, the dependent variable.
A hypothesis is important in the following ways:

1. Provides direction to the study

2. Defines the coverage of the study

3. Suggests the appropriate research design

4. Determines the statistical tool use

5. Serves as a reference for stating conclusions


A good hypothesis must meet three conditions:

• First - it must be explain the facts involved and to deduce the original
problem condition.
• Second- it must be or testable - effects or consequences must be
available.
• Third - it must be simple, requiring fewer conditions or assumptions.
A good hypothesis must be in null form.

A null hypothesis is used to avoid biases and


prejudices as well as to avoid manipulation of
data.
