1. INTRODUCTION - it discussed four (4) relevant ideas:

2. BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
 TOPIC or subject matter: define and elaborate using methods of paragraph
development like classification and giving examples.  Consists of statements on what led the investigator launch the study.

 IMPORTANCE of the Topic: cite the role that the topic plays in your life and the  May have been generated by some empirical observations, the need to explore
benefits you derive from it. the problem and some other relevant conditions.

 REASONS for choosing the topic: emphasized what motivated you to choose the  Describe as clearly as possible the problem intended to be addressed and refer to

 PURPOSE of the study: discusses the objective of the study.  It is an overview of factors which have led to the problem, comprise the problem
and historical significance relative to the problem.
3. STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
 There should be a general statement of the whole problem followed by the
specific questions or sub problems into which the general problem is broken up.
Example/s:
4. THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
 This is the foundation of the research study. These are highly related theories and
principles that were established and proven by authorities.
 Refers to the set of interrelated construct, definitions, and prepositions that
presents a systematic view of phenomena.
 An organized body that explains what has been done and what has been said on
the topic or problem being investigated.
 What must be obtained from a theory?
 The name/s of author/s of the theory must be taken including the place and the
time/year when he or she postulated such principle or generalization.
 The part or parts of the theory that are relevant to your study.
 Synthesis by relating to your findings.
5. CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK
 A tentative explanation or theoretical explanation of the phenomenon or problem
and serves as the basis for the formulation research hypotheses.
 Consists of the investigator’s own position on a problem after his exposure to
various theories that have bearing on the problem.
 The conceptual framework becomes the central theme, the focus, the main thrust
of the study. It serves ass a guide in conducting investigation.
 Paradigm - is a diagrammatic representation of a conceptual framework. It
depicts in a more vivid way what the conceptual framework wants to convey.
6. SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
 The rationale, timeliness and/or relevance of the study to existing conditions must
be explained or discussed. 
 Possible solutions to existing problems or improvement to unsatisfactory
conditions.
 Who are to be benefited and how they are going to be benefited. It must shown
who are the individuals, groups, or communities who may be placed in a more
advantageous position on account of the study. Possible contribution the fund of
knowledge.
 Possible implications should be discussed here that the implications include the
possible causes of the problems discovered, the possible effects of the problems,
and the remedial measures to solve the problems.
7. SCOPE AND LIMITATIONS  The weaknesses spring out of the inaccuracies of the perceptions of the
respondents.
 The scope and delimitations should include the following:
 A brief statement of the general purpose of the study.
8. DEFINITION OF TERMS

be large enough to make generalizations significant.
 Acronyms should always be spelled out fully.
 The period of the study. This is the time, either months or years, during which the
data were gathered.
