SCOPE and

DELIMITATION
Scope and delimitation are two
elements of a research paper.

• Scope is the depth of
exploration that a person plans
for a topic.
• It identifies what topic the
researchers intends to cover.
• It names the information or
subject matter that the
individual plans to evaluate.

Sample phrases that help
express the scope of the study:
The coverage of this study…….
The study consists of……….…….
The study covers the……………..
The study focuses on……………..

• Delimitations are control
factors that the researcher
chooses to narrow the scope
of the study.
• It define what factors the
researcher consciously controls
for and why they have been
eliminated from the study.
• It also mention the research
method used as well as the
certain theories that applied to
the data.

Sample phrases that expressed
the delimitations of the study:
The study does not cover the…….
The researcher limited this
research to …….……….…….

Remember:
There is no general ruling to write
separately each of the scope and
delimitation. You can mix them
together and form a substantial
statement which you think satisfies
the scope and delimitation of your
study.

 Example:
This study focused on the test results of the
identified teaching strategies in Mathematics which
were Lecture method, Jigsaw method and Think Pair
Share method.
The test results were taken within a week using
pretest and posttest method and uses SPSS software to
determine the significant difference through Analysis of
Variance.
The students who will undergo the tests are the
selected students from CNAHS, Davao Oriental,
Philippines during the school year 2018-2019.
