It is important to gather information about your topic. However, you should not rush into getting ideas right away. First, you must spend time getting background knowledge about the problem thattriggered off your research topic to discover its relation to what everyone knows about the topic.

Background of the problem

It discusses a background on the topic’s description and what others (mainly researchers) have already done about the given subject.

Existing literature

This shows the situational interconnectedness of individuals or things in varying perspectives which are related to the problem of the study.

Relevance to local and global context

This explains the circumstances or conditions that create the problem. This enables the readers to understand the nature of the problem.

Critical background or contextual information

These are the problems, issues or questions that have not been addressed or are yet to be understood.

Research gap

A statement that emphasizes the need to conduct the study.

Proof of urgency

This states the purpose why there is a need for the proposed study to be conducted.

Research goal or objective

The problem in this section must be well-defined for the readers to fully understand its nature. By clearly stating the problem, the vagueness of the study can be clarified. This section also allows the researchers to present other essential elements of research such as its major variables, objectives, and method/s.

Statement of the problem

pertains to the opening paragraph (declarative) that gives specific details on other essential elements which are the purpose, major variables, participants, setting, and time coverage of the study.

General problem

shall be in question (interrogative) form. These questions must be anchored on the general problem and be the key questions in seeking answers to theproblem.

Specific problems

are the expectations of the researchers from their study

Research assumptions

appear to be their responses to the formulated specific questions and will be verified by their data and analysis.

Research assumptions

the reason why researchers need to determine the relevance of their study. It should apparently identify the purpose that the research will serve and how it will contribute to the society, the country, the government, the institution, and the research community.

Significance of the study

- Learning about issues and methods in the chosen field - Furthering creative and scholastic achievement - Applying concepts from courses to real-life situations - Sharpening problem-solving skills

Educational

- Exploring potential careers - Learning new specialized techniques and skills - Enhancing professional communication skills - Networking same interests with others

Professional

- Building confidence and independence - Promoting critical and thinking - Enhancing awareness

Personal

an informative part of your research. It is informative, because it iswhere you declare the things you must carry out and follow through the course of research

Scope and delimitation

this stands for the entire pool from which the sample is drawn

Population

It refers to the location where the study is conducted.

Research locale

This stands for the exclusive time frame when the research is conducted.

Specific duration

This refers to the systematic plan for conducting research which includes strategies, process, techniques, and procedures for collecting and analyzing data

Research method

This refers to the standard procedure, system, or rules that you follow in gathering data. It can be the permission in the conduct of the study, communication letter to the respondents, or agreement on the conduct of the interview.

Protocols allowed

This refers to the step-by-step procedures that you employ before and during the data gathering.

Data gathering procedure

These are the measurement devices that you use in your research. It can be in the form of a test, survey, questionnaire, and the like. However, in qualitative research, you as the researcher are the instrument, and your interview guide serves as a tool in gathering the data

Instrument

These are the systematic processes you employ to describe or interpret your data. It can be thematic network analysis, structural analysis, textanalysis, etc.

Data analysis

it refers to choices made by researchers that serve as boundaries (Simon 2011). This includes research objectives, questions, variables, theoretical objectives you adopted, target samples, and justifications that limits the scope of the study

Delimitation

the initial step in writing a research paper. This step involves the skill on how the researcher will provide the readers with critical background or contextual information that introduces the research topic. Moreover, it needs to indicate the reasons why the proposed research matters

Research justification

it refers to choices made by researchers that serve as boundaries (Simon 2011). This includes research objectives, questions, variables, theoretical objectives you adopted, target samples, and justifications that limits the scope of the study

Delimitation

about the external and internal influences that researchers have no control of. There can be shortcomings, conditions or influences that cannot be avoided due to the limitation of the study.

Limitation

The word operational refers to “how the word/term was used in the study.” At the same time, the variables are the elements essential to the study.

Operational definition of variables (ODV)

is the meaning of the term that is based on how it is defined in the dictionary or encyclopedia.

Conceptual definition

is the meaning of the term based on how it was used in the study.

Operational definition
