Introductory Message

For the facilitator:

Welcome to the Mathematics 10 Self-Learning Module 13 on Making Mini

Research Title!

This Self-Learning Module was collaboratively designed, developed and

reviewed by educators from the Schools Division Office of Pasig City headed by its
Officer-in-Charge Schools Division Superintendent, Ma. Evalou Concepcion A.
Agustin, in partnership with the City Government of Pasig through its mayor,
Honorable Victor Ma. Regis N. Sotto. The writers utilized the standards set by the K
to 12 Curriculum using the Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELC) in
developing this instructional resource.

This learning material hopes to engage the learners in guided and independent
learning activities at their own pace and time. Further, this also aims to help learners
acquire the needed 21st century skills especially the 5 Cs, namely: Communication,
Collaboration, Creativity, Critical Thinking, and Character while taking into
consideration their needs and circumstances.

In addition to the material in the main text, you will also see this box in the
body of the module:

Notes to the Teacher

This contains helpful tips or strategies that
will help you in guiding the learners.

As a facilitator you are expected to orient the learners on how to use this
module. You also need to keep track of the learners' progress while allowing them to
manage their own learning. Moreover, you are expected to encourage and assist the
learners as they do the tasks included in the module.
For the learner:

Welcome to the Mathematics 10 Self-Learning Module 13 on Making Mini

 LESSON

Research is a careful and detailed study into a specific problem, concern, or issue
using the scientific method.

Rosario, Eden, Eniego and Lundag (2018) defined statistical mini research as the
output of data gathered through questionnaire, interview, observation, and
experimentation from an identified set of samples.(272)

They enumerated the following steps in formulating a Statistical Mini Research

Step 1: State the problem
Think of a topic that you find interesting. It can be current issues. The data
of the problem must be attainable. It should be realistic. It is important that you set
limitations of your research. For example, your data source will be limited only for
Grade 10 students.
In stating the problem, hypothesis is needed. Hypothesis is a proposed explanation
or answer to the problem stated. You need to provide practical and complete
assumptions
Step 2: Design the research
Provide an outline of your mini research. The research design explains the data
collection and the statistical analysis plan in order to come up with a reliable result
and conclusion.
Step 3: Gather the data
Some data are readily available from school records or government websites. Others
can be obtained through surveys, questionnaires, interviews or observation.
Step 4: Analyze the data
It is the heart of the research work. Analyzing the data means transforming the data
gathered into meaningful information. You will use appropriate statistical method to
interpret research data.
Step 5: Make summary, Conclusions and Recommendation
The last step of formulating mini research wherein the findings of the data is
organized. This will answer your hypothesis. Come up with a conclusion and
generate recommendations for future researchers.

The title summarizes the main idea or ideas of your study. A good title contains the
fewest possible words that adequately describe the contents and/or purpose of
your research paper.

Characteristics of a Good Research Title

According to rhetoric scholars Hairston and Keene, making a good title for a paper
involves ensuring that the title of the research accomplishes four goals. First, a
good title predicts the content of the research paper. Second, a good title should be
interesting to the reader. Third, it should reflect the tone of the writing. Fourth and
finally, it should contain important keywords that will make it easier to be located
during a keyword search.

Tips for Writing an Effective Research Paper Title
The following example will help you understand how you can go about writing a
good title for your research paper in 5 simple steps:
STEP 1
Ask yourself these questions and make note of the answers:
• What is my paper about?
• What techniques/ designs were used?
• Who/what is studied?
• What were the results?
STEP 2
Use your answers to list key words.
STEP 3
Create a sentence that includes the key words you listed.
STEP 4
Delete all unnecessary/ repetitive words and link the remaining.
STEP 5
Delete non-essential information and reword the title.

Following the steps outlined above will help you arrive at an effective title for your
research paper.

Activity 2: Keep Practicing
Direction: Decide whether the following statements are True or False. Write your
answer on the blanks provided before each number.

________1. The title summarizes the main idea or ideas of your study.

________2. Gathering the data means transforming the data gathered into meaningful
information.

________3. In stating the problem, hypothesis is needed.

________4. It is good to have at least 30 words in formulating research title.

________5. A good title should be interesting to the reader.

Activity 3: Test Yourself

Direction: Given the situation below, formulate a research title that is best suited to
the given situation.

1. You are asked to conduct a survey among the selected Grade 10 students of
Nagpayong High School S.Y 2020-2021 regarding the effect of Social Networking
Sites to their academic performance.

2. On a study done to measure the perceived effectivity of online classes among senior
students in learning Mathematics, several students were asked to rate the extent of
the effectivity (1 being the least effective and 10 very effective) when having
Mathematics online classes.
