ABSTRACT
An abstract summarizes, in one paragraph (usually), the major aspects of the entire paper
in the following prescribed sequence:
o What is the study about?
o What method of analysis was done?
o Main findings of the study and
o Conclusion.
Keywords: Write all the keywords for the thesis/topic/main idea of your research.
1.0 Introduction
The introduction provides context for your report. This must be written in a paragraph form
with all the bulleted ideas below to be infused in one essay with no side title. Make sure
to KISS this part – Keep It Short and Simple.
FOR QUALITATIVE
The following must be included in writing this part:
o Research Design
The researchers must state whatever design or design theory their research is
molded to.
o Respondents
The people/respondents/participants involve with the gathering of the results of
the research.
o Instruments
The researchers must also state the instruments or tools used to answer or solve
the question(s) or problem(s) of the study.
FOR QUANTITATIVE
o Independent Variable
These are the things that you purposely change to test the effect of the change.
o Dependent Variable
These are the things that you measure from testing the manipulated variables, in
order to get your results (data).
o Controlled Variables
These are all the things that you keep the same (control) from one test to the next.
Because they are controlled, they are not tested.
o Materials
Be very specific in listing every item used in your experiment. For example, a pot
is too vague. A more specific listing is one 10 cm diameter clay pot, 8 cm in
height. Measure dimensions, quantities, temperatures, etc. accurately. Do all
measurements in SI units. An experiment should be repeated 3-5 times to ensure
accuracy, doing each test in the same way.
o Procedure
Describe in detail the methodology you used to collect data, make observations, design
apparatus, etc. Include detailed photographs or drawings of self-designed equipment.
5.0 Conclusions
Briefly summarize your results. State your findings in relationships of one variable with
the other. Support those statements with empirical data (one average compared to the
other average, for example). Be specific, do not generalize. Never introduce anything in
the conclusion that has not already been discussed. Provide recommendations.
o Also mention practical applications.
o What would you do differently if you repeated this research?
o What other experiments should be conducted?
Note: Recommendations must be written on another paragraph right after the conclusion.
The APA format of citations and references must be followed. You can check the website
below for the APA in-text citations and references guidelines:

APA In-text Citations and References Format (Most Used)
Rationale: This will help the researchers to write in-text citations and references in an
international standardized format. The APA formatting available in this notes
are only the commonly used by student-researchers.

A Work by Three to Five Authors: List all the authors in the signal phrase or in
parentheses the first time you cite the source. Use the word "and" between the authors'
names within the text and use the ampersand in the parentheses.
Six or More Authors: Use the first author's name followed by et al. in the signal phrase
or in parentheses.
Unknown Author: If the work does not have an author, cite the source by its title in the
signal phrase or use the first word or two in the parentheses. Titles of books and reports
are italicized or underlined; titles of articles, chapters, and web pages are in quotation
marks.
A similar study was done of students learning to format research papers ("Using
APA," 2001).
Note: In the rare case the "Anonymous" is used for the author, treat it as the author's
name (Anonymous, 2001). In the reference list, use the name Anonymous as the author.
Authors With the Same Last Name: To prevent confusion, use first initials with the last
names.
Two or More Works by the Same Author in the Same Year: If you have two sources
by the same author in the same year, use lower-case letters (a, b, c) with the year to order
the entries in the reference list. Use the lower-case letters with the year in the in-text
citation.
A. P. Smith also claimed that many of her students had difficulties with APA style
(personal communication, November 3, 2002).
Note: When citing material in parentheses, set off the citation with a comma, as above.
Also, try to locate the original material and cite the original source.
Electronic Sources
If possible, cite an electronic document the same as any other document by using
the author-date style.
Unknown Author and Unknown Date: If no author or date is given, use the title in your
signal phrase or the first word or two of the title in the parentheses and use the
abbreviation "n.d." (for "no date").
According to Smith (1997), ... (Mind over Matter section, para. 6).
Note: Never use the page numbers of Web pages you print out; different computers print
Web pages with different pagination.
