Background of the Study

The research problem should be introduced briefly.

Characterize the significance and importance of the study; and its possible contribution to the field.

The researcher needs to have exhaustive review or survey about the research problem. Emphasize

pertinent findings, relevant issues discovered, major conclusions and recommendations made.

The review of related literature should be clustered to address the identified questions of the present

research work.

This section gives the readers and the researcher a clear perspective of what was done about the

research and why the new study.

Theoretical Framework

The theoretical framework presents the theory which explains why the problem under

study exists. In practice, the research framework is the totality of the study – the substantive scope and

boundary of the research problem.

Conceptual Framework

The theoretical framework is used if the research study is theory-based; if problembased, used the

conceptual framework instead because it is the most appropriate.

Input-Process-Output (IPO) Framework

This framework shows the empirical interactions of the “input” and the “process” variables. The output

in this case is the resultant effect and it should be presented in another “box”.

Hypothesis

The null hypothesis is the one that is always tested in the research study.

Example: There is no significant relationship between mass media exposure and level of participation in student

demonstration against corruption.

Appendices

The questionnaire or interview schedule, letter of transmittal, Memos, Circulars,

Republic Acts, Ordinances, set of raw data, statistical computation, etc. could be in the appendices.
