The Problem

Background of the Study

This part of your study is basically an overview of the research study and explains why

you, as a researcher, are doing the study.

Establish the territory in the first paragraph. Discuss the phenomenon in which the

problem arises (state the positive and negative aspects). Include general and the specific

situations as observed and experienced by the researcher (macro to micro approach).

Discuss concepts and ideas related to the problem and clarify important terminologies

in the second paragraph.

Establish a niche in the 3rd paragraph – Discuss the existing or present conditions

surrounding the problem and what is aimed to be in the future or the gap to be filled-in by the

research

Finally occupy the niche – Why this study is proposed relative to previous studies?

Announce your present research. Briefly justify and outline your purposes.

Conceptual Framework

The conceptual framework of the study in shown in Figure 1.

[Insert here the figure]

This study treated one (1) independent variable specifically IV and one (1) dependent

variable which is the DV.

 2

[The conceptual framework is like a recipe or blueprint. It states the researcher’s idea

on how the research problem will have to be explored. It embodies the specific direction by

which the research will have to be undertaken. Show the variables examined in your study. Cite

the source of these indicators. No source means these are mere opinions.]

The schematic diagram showed the interplay of the variables based on the tenets that

IV have an influence on the level DV.

Statement of the Problem

(States clearly the purpose or interest of the study. It poses specific questions about the research
problem.)

The main objective of this study is to… (State the purpose of your study and the

variables involved)

Specifically, it aims to answer the following queries:

1. What is the profile of the sample in terms of categorical/demographic variable? As

needed

2. What is the level of the respondent’s independent variable (IV) in terms of the following

indicators:

1.1 Frequency of Use

1.2 Purpose of Use

3. To what extent do the respondents manifest dependent variable (DV)?

4. Is there a significant relationship between IV and the subjects’ DV?

5. Is there a significant difference in dependent variable based on categorical variable?

Hypotheses

The following null hypotheses shall be tested using the 0.05 level of significance:
 3

1. There is no significant relationship between IV and DV.

2. There is no significant difference in the level of between DV based on CV.

Scope and Delimitations of the Study

The study focused on the following areas as parameters in discovering whether there

exists a relationship among the variables of the inquiry/ a difference in the extent of the DV

based on IV.

Subject Matter. This study shall focus on IV and DV. [If there are indicators for any of

the variables, then enumerate here.]

Significance of the Study

[General statement on how your research will contribute to the body of knowledge.]

[Identify the beneficiaries and how they can benefit from your study. Arrange them
according to who will benefit the most, not on their rank].

The following will be benefited by the study:

Administrators. The study will help the administrators to ….

Teachers. The study will provide teachers with …

Students. The study …

Definition of Terms

The following terms will be used extensively in this study and shall be taken according

to the definition given below: [arrange alphabetically]

[Define your variables/sub-variables/indicators. For constitutive definition, cite the

source: author, year: page number. For operational definition, no source.] Sometimes you need

to adopt the definitions or else come up with your own.

Review of Related Literature

This chapter discusses certain literature and studies that are related to the variables in

order to provide the foundation of the proposed study. The scholarly works provided in this

chapter were adopted from the renowned authors conducting similar studies. The intellectual

contribution of these authors in the body of knowledge was explored to substantiate the present

research study.

Independent Variable

Definition/s of variable 1 (cite sources)

Enumeration of the indicators or sub-variables (cite sources). Define the indicators (cite
source)

Conceptual discussion of the variable 1 and its indicators. (Cite sources)

Dependent Variable

Definition/s of variable 2 (cite sources)

Enumeration of the indicators or sub-variables (cite sources). Define the indicators (cite
source)

Conceptual discussion of the variable 2 and its indicators. (cite sources)

This review of related literature has found that there is a gap in understanding or

inconsistency of findings and understanding related to the relationships of the variables. Hence,

this study is proposed to establish the relationships of variables 1 and 2 in order to substantiate

existing knowledge.
 Chapter 3

Research Methods

This chapter presents the research methodology of the study. It includes discussion on

the research design and research methods covering the research environment, research subjects,

sampling techniques, instrumentation, data gathering techniques, and statistical treatment.

Research Design

The study is an interview survey employing quantitative methods

Research Environment

The interview survey will be conducted in Molave Vocational Technical School

Research Respondents

The study is applicable to student to student who belongs to Broken Family

Sampling Techniques

The researcher use purposive samplings in selecting samples in which decisions

concerning the individual to be included in the sample are taken by the researcher, based upon a

variety of criteria which may include specialist knowledge of the research issue, or capability

and willingness to participate in the research. This is done through ramdomly picking of

samples for the purpose of the study.

Instrumentation

Quantitative data will be collected through questionnaires.

 7

Data Gathering Techniques

The researcher seek permission to the cooperating principal of Molave Vocational

Technical School, to conduct survey interview inside the school campus. The researcher meet

up with those of the chosen sample population to ask for their time for the conduct of the study.

With the permission given by the principal, the reseachers conducted an interview survey. Then

prepare the materials (questionnaires) for the implementation of the study. The data for this

research were collected using survey questionnaire relevant to the study.

The researchers interpreted the data gathered. The researchers compared the results to

determine the Effect of Broken Family in Academic performance and in order to come up with a

conclusion.

There were no incentives offered to the respondents for participating in the said

research.

Statistical Treatment

(Describe the types of data gathered and how these will be treated statistically. Identify
and explain the tests to be conducted. (e.g. ANOVA or analysis of variance for testing
significant differences or Pearson “r” for testing significant relationship).

Presentation, Analysis and Interpretation of Data

This chapter presents, analyses and interprets the data on IV and DV in order to

provide answers to the research questions.

[In presenting your data, follow the manner you enumerated your research questions in

your statement of the problem. Data for the first RQ is to be presented first so on and so forth.

Use a table, graph or chart to present your data. Write an analysis and interpretation but do not

reiterate in your narrative what is already presented in the table. Finally, cite related studies to

corroborate your findings]

1. Profile of the Respondents

Figure 2: Distribution of the Respondents in terms of Gender

 9

Gender

Male Female

The figure above shows that there are more male respondents (80.0%) than the female

which comprises only 30% of the sample. The sample depicts the true gender distribution of the

population because there are more male students who enrol in the STEM Strand than female

students. In the study conducted by Balaod, et.al (2017) it was found that male students are

more inclined to take up sciences and engineering while the female students prefer social

sciences and teaching.
