I. INTRODUCTION  Use CaRS Model in writing an introduction by considering the following:
Department of Education
Move 1:
RegionEstablishing
IV-A a Territory [the situation]
This is generally accomplished in
SCHOOLS DIVISION OF QUEZON PROVINCE two ways: by demonstrating that a
general area of research is important, critical, interesting, problematic,
relevant, or otherwise worthy of investigation and by introducing and
reviewing key sources of prior research in that area to show where
gaps exist or where prior research has been inadequate in addressing
the research problem.

Move 2: Establishing a Niche [the problem]

This action refers to making a clear and cogent argument that your
particular piece of research is important and possesses value. This can
be done by indicating a specific gap in previous research, by
challenging a broadly accepted assumption, by raising a question, a
hypothesis, or need, or by extending previous knowledge in some way.

Move 3: Occupying the Niche [the solution]

A. Research Questions
The final "move" is to announce the means by which your study will
contribute new knowledge or new understanding in contrast to prior
research on the topic. This is also where you describe the remaining
organizational structure of the paper. (Reference: University of
Southern California, retrieved from

2019.)
 Begin with an introductory statement.
 Present the research questions in a logical order.
 Check if your research questions are aligned with the purpose of your
action research.
 Be sure to include questions that will elicit data that will allow you to
measure the effect (e.g. performance improvement) of the intervention
to be employed to address the problem.

B. Hypothesis  Write only a null hypothesis if there is a research question that pertains
to finding the significant difference or significant relationship.

II. BRIEF REVIEW OF  Write this section as if you are telling a research story.

AND STUDIES the discussion of related concepts.
 Explain the variables of your research. Emphasize how you will utilize
these variables/concepts in the completion of your study.
 Do not separate the discussion of your related literature and related
studies.
 Thematic presentation of ideas is encouraged.
 End your brief review of literature and studies with a “Theoretical or
Conceptual Framework” which is summarized in a “Research
Paradigm.”
 Provide a specific title for your Research Paradigm. Label it with Figure
1.

III. SCOPE AND LIMITATIONS  State the purpose and specific objectives of your study.
DEPEDQUEZON-SGO-PAR-04-003-004  Mention the research design, research locale, study’s respondents or
participants, data collection instrument, data collection procedure,
