Lesson 2: Research Title

What I Have Learned

1. A researcher is highly discouraged from putting too many words in the research title
because, basically, a title does not need to be wordy or lengthy since it is just a mere title.
A title should be concise, specific, and direct to what it is all about.
2. A bad title discredits a good research because it will not catch the reader’s attention and
assumed that the content cannot get people’s acknowledgement.
3. The components of the good Research Title are:
• Use an accurate description of the subject and scope of the study instead of
using general terms.
• Do not use abbreviations except for commonly known ones like DNA and ICT.
• Do not include words like “The study of,” “analysis of,” “an investigation of” or
similar construction as these would only lengthen the title.
• Include the main dependent and independent variables.
• Be mindful of the proper use of grammar and punctuation.
• Capitalize all nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs as well as the first
letter of the first and last words.
• State in a declarative form, although you may also see titles in question form
from time to time.
• The year the study has been conducted should not be indicated unless it is a
historical study.
• Use current terminology.
• Depending on the institutional requirements, 5 to15 words are sufficient to
describe the research study.
• Use the common name instead of chemical formula (e.g., NH4)
• Write and italicize the full scientific names.
• Must reflect the tone of the paper. An academic research paper has title which
is not casual, or informal, or does not contain humor.
What’I Can Do

Research question 1: What are the experiences of TVL students in Home Economics Specialized in
cookery in taking cooking skills assessments

Proposed title A: Cookery Student’s Assessment Based on their Cooking Skills Performances
Proposed title B: Cookery Student’s Field of Expertise Based on Cooking Skills Performances
Proposed title C: Student’s Initiative to Pursue Home Economics Specialized in Cookery Based
on taking Cooking Skills Performances
Research question 2: How do these assessments affect their learning?

Proposed title A: Field of Expertise of Students taking Home Economics specialized in Cookery
Proposed title B: Skills to Improve of Students taking Home Economics specialized in Cookery
Proposed title C: Initiation to Pursue the chosen Strands of Students taking Home Economics
specialized in Cookery
Research question 3: What are the feedbacks of TVL students regarding their experiences about TVL
strands.

Proposed title A: Student’s Evaluation on Home Economics Specialized in Cookery Strand

Proposed title B: Student’s Feedback Based on their Experiences on choosing Home Economics
Specialized in Cookery Strand

Proposed title C: Student’s Assessment Based on their Performance on choosing Home Economics
Specialized in Cookery Strand
Lesson 3: Background Research

What’s More

1.The relevance of background of the study of research paper is it inform the reader of the context
of the study where the research topic was conceptualized. Ideally, this part is written when we
have already conducted a literature review and has a good perception of the topic to articulate
the importance and validity of the research problem. It is also in this part of the paper where we
can justify the need to conduct a research study about the topic selected by establishing the
research gap.
2. While both the Background of the Study and the Review of Related Literature involves reading
past related studies, they differ in some aspects. The former is at the introductory part of the paper
with the purpose of relaying the importance of your research study; the latter is more
comprehensive and thoroughly discuss the studies mentioned in the background of research.
3.The important components that should be included on background of study is the know and
unknown information about the topic, reasons to address or establish research gap and the
rationale of the study.
