V. Learning Activities

INDICATING SCOPE AND DELIMITATION OF THE STUDY

Scope – states the coverage of the study. It contains the specific contents, concepts, subjects or

respondents and the period of the study.

Delimitation- states the factors or variables that are excluded or not covered by the study. It states the

excluded contents in terms of objectives, time frame, respondents and other components. Through

delimitation, the researcher is able to specify what to be excluded in the study.

The scope and delimitation of the study should also answer the questions below:

4
 What - the focus and variables of the study

Where - the locale of the study

When - period of the study

Why - objectives of the study

Who - respondents or informants

How - methodology and data collection tools

Example of a Good Scope and Delimitation
