Various Kinds of Reports

Let Us Learn!

Welcome!

This module was prepared to help you achieve the required learning
outcome, determine the objectives and structures of various kinds of reports.
This will be the source of information that will help you to:

 determine the objectives of various kinds of reports; and

 identify the structures of various kinds of report

MELC: Determines the objectives and structures of various kinds of

reports (CS_EN11/12A-EAPPIIe-j-6)

Let Us Try!
Read and understand each question. Choose the letter of the
correct answer.
1. This is a paper which presents the results of the author’s research.
a. Survey report
b. Field report
c. Laboratory report

2. This usually contains the author’s observations when out on the

field and an analysis using theoretical concepts from the
discipline.
a. Survey report
b. Field report
c. Laboratory report

3. This paper is written by those in the sciences mainly to persuade

others to accept or reject a hypothesis, record the details for future
researches, and document a current phenomenon for future
reference or comparison.
a. Survey report
b. Field report
c. Laboratory report

 4. The following statements are the criteria in choosing a topic except
one:
a. A topic should be manageable.
b. A topic should not be interesting.
c. A topic should be relevant.

5. What is the next step after choosing the topic?

a. Gather the data.
b. Formulate the thesis statement.
c. Interpret the data.

Let Us Study

In this module you will be learning about how to determine the

objectives of various kinds of reports. On the succeeding modules, you will
learn how to conduct surveys, interpret the data, and eventually writing a
research report. Before we proceed to the next phase of this lesson, let us
build first the foundation of your knowledge about research.

What is research?
Research is a systematic and scientific way of investigating and gathering
information to answer a particular problem, establish facts, and reach
conclusions. Conducting research can be done in various fields such as Arts,
Humanities, Social Sciences, Natural Sciences, Technology, and Health
Sciences.

Some of the research papers in various fields are the survey report, the
field report, and the laboratory report or scientific technical report.

Figure 1: Research Paper in Various Fields

To begin a research, you have to determine your topic. Asking questions is one
useful way to focus on a topic easily and quickly.
These are the sample topics in Question Form:
a. How does COVID19 affect the economy of the Philippines?
b. What are the social effects of COVID19 to the students?
c. What are the psychological effects of Mobile Legends to the students in
Senior High School?

researcher. research.

It should be something that

you can undertake within your
ability and within the time
limit given to you.

A research topic should be

manageable.

It should not be too broad or

too narrow, and must be
achievable using available
financial, human, and
material resources.

Once you have chosen your topic, you need to formulate your thesis
statement. A thesis statement answers the question you previously asked to
narrow down your topic. It guides and serves as a central point of all the idea
in your paper.

General Topic Dieting
Topic in question form What are the major physical effects of too
much dieting?
Thesis statement Too much dieting can lead to starvation, loss of
strength, and different diseases.

Based on the example above, the thesis statement contains three details like
starvation, strength, and different diseases. These details can be used as a
basis for your specific questions. These specific questions are supposed to be
answered through your instrument to support your research.

For the illustration above, the possible specific research questions are as
follows:
1. How does too much dieting lead to starvation?
2. How does too much dieting lead to loss of strength?
3. How does too much dieting lead to different diseases?

Do you understand how to formulate the topic questions? How about stating the
thesis statement? I believe you did great! Kindly think of your own example
and complete the table below.

pregnancies have not been intentional. That is, it has not been sought
to become pregnant as the ultimate goal. It was, let’s say, accidental.

It is a silent problem, since victims almost never announce it, bullying

is one of the problems that most affects the learners. This can be
physical or emotional, like beatings, shouting, breaking the belongings
of the person being harassed, as well as mocking or belittling the victim.
Bullying has been very evident to both school environment and in social
media. No one has the right to be abused; and no person has the right
to abuse others, regardless of any social status.
