Chapter I

INTRODUCTION
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

/**This chapter serves as a background for readers to

have an overview of the study. The introduction is the first

chapter of the capstone/thesis and must include the

objective/s and justification of the study as well as the

limitations set by the researchers. The introduction is the

proper place to define any specialized terms and concepts

used in the thesis. The Rationale/Background of the Study

doesn’t require a heading since this can be the introductory

paragraph of the chapter.

You may provide a background of the study. Cite

different literatures corresponding to your topic. If you

have a specific locale you may provide a background of the

locale, what they do, what is the nature of the

organization.

Gather related literature and studies as a basis

for the proposal. Establish the need for the proposal.

Consider international and local sources. You should not

only have web sources, you have to get your sources from

books, journals, magazines and other research studies. **/

CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK
ANGELES CAMPUS 2

/**Provide a description of the framework (conceptual

or theoretical, whichever applies) used for the study. If

you have a diagram or a figure, it should be placed after

the description or discussion. **/

OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY

[Objectives are stated as the purpose or the aim of the

study.]

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

/**This section describes or explains the potential

value of the study and findings. It should be clear in here,

the target audience for the study and how the results will

be beneficial for them; the contribution of the research to

the body of knowledge in the respective discipline; and the

reason or reasons why is it necessary to conduct the study –

timeliness or possible solutions to the existing problems or

an improvement. **/

SCOPE AND DELIMITATION

/**This section sets parameters of the study. The

limitations or the weaknesses of the study are the inherent

problems encountered by the researchers (that could be


ANGELES CAMPUS 3

beyond its control) and discussing it can be very useful for

readers in interpreting the results of the study. **/


ANGELES CAMPUS 4

Chapter II
METHODS
/**Methods is the chronological listing of steps and

procedure/s used by the researchers. Methods used for

gathering of data, laboratory and field experiment,

theoretical and/or conceptual frameworks, as well as

techniques employed in the analyses of data must be

specifically listed. For the materials, exact technical

specifications, quantities and sources must be included. It

includes instrumentation (or the procedures used in

developing an instrument to gather data) and the data

collection (or the details on how the data will be obtained)

– the method of investigation, i.e. questionnaires, personal

interviews, focus groups, laboratory modeling, design

techniques, etc.; the sampling methodology, i.e. size of

sample, population, experimental and control groups,

prevention of bias, etc.; and, the statistical methods used

with explanation as to why you intend to use specific

statistical methods. **/

RESEARCH DESIGN

/**Research Design refers to the research strategy

necessary to complete the research. The researchers should

be able to answer the following questions:

1. How will you do the research?


ANGELES CAMPUS 5

2. What is your theoretical thrust/ approach?

3. What kind of data do you want to get?

4. How will you get this data?

Quantitative Research, Qualitative Research or both. **/

POPULATION, SAMPLE SIZE AND SAMPLING TECHNIQUE

/**Population. Novice researchers make the mistake of

choosing a sample first before actually defining or

identifying the population. This is not correct because they

end up having to force their findings to fit into a

population that they do not even know. It is best to define

the population first, before even trying to choose a sample

from it.

Population definition is a two-step process:

1. Identify target population

2. Construct a sampling frame **/

RESEARCH INSTRUMENTS

/**Instruments are used for gathering or collecting

data including the tools used to measure the variables. This

means, for example, detailing the survey used, own or

modified, or an adopted questionnaire with proper

acknowledgement. **/
ANGELES CAMPUS 6

DATA GATHERING PROCEDURES

/**Whatever type of research investigation one may

choose to undertake, there is a need to collect data with

which to test the hypothesis. The acquisition of data is

done through the use of a variety of methods, procedures,

tools, or techniques which have been developed over the

years. It is believed that each data gathering procedure or

device has its own particular weakness or bias; therefore,

it is better to use multiple methods or tools, supplementing

one with others to counteract bias and generate more

adequate data.

Observational Method

Case Study

Questionnaires

Interview Method

Testing Method

Experiment Method **/

STATISTICAL TREATMENT OF DATA

The kind of statistical treatment depends upon the nature of

the problem and the data gathered.

The statistical manipulations organize raw data

systematically; its techniques help the researcher in

determining the validity and reliability of his research


ANGELES CAMPUS 7

instruments and give meaning and interpretation to data; and

statistical treatment is used to test the hypotheses, which

are to be accepted and rejected.


Ex. Chi Square, Factor Analysis, Regression, T-Test,

Analysis of Variance, Frequency and Percentage, Mean,

Pearson-Product Moment, Multiple Correlation, Multiple

Regression. */

Chapter III
RESULTS
/**This chapter presents the data gathered and the

information obtained from them. Results and analyses in the

form of figures, tables, graphs and text are found in this


ANGELES CAMPUS 8

chapter. The discussion part is a presentation of the

principles, relationship and generalization evidenced by the

results. If applicable, the results need to be compared and

interpreted with previously published works. Implications as

well as possible practical applications must be mentioned.

The stepwise statistics output of the discriminant

discriminating variables. In step 3 of the stepwise

statistics, these are shown as Logical (Min. D Squared = .

236), Physical (Min. D Squared = .311). This output

indicates significant group centroid spread for the

aforementioned LSI between the Korean and Filipino BM

students. Thus, what discriminates the Korean from the

Filipino student groups are Logical and Physical learning

respondents answered excellent, and 8 or 40% of the

respondents answered fair. The result of the survey tells

that user can easily identify the navigation links.
