common issues or problems. List all the problems raised and identify the most common ones.

What I Have Learned

Directions: Answer briefly the questions below.

1. Why is it important to choose a relevant, significant, and interesting research topic?

-Because your research wouln’t be of use if you choose a topic that isn’t relevant,significant,ot
interesting.

2. How does background/preliminary research help in defining a research topic?

-It helps you to narrow your topic by finding out how much information is out there and
therefore,what is do-able within the page-limits you have been assigned.And it helps you get an
idea of which specific aspect of your topic you will want to do more detailed reading about.

3. What is your understanding of refining the research question?

-Base on my understanding, refining the research question is done to make your research question
more specific and arguelable.

What’s New Activity 1:

True or False Directions: Write TRUE if the statement is correct and FALSE if it is incorrect.

FALSE 1. Inserting humor on the research title makes it more interesting to the reader.
FALSE2. Abbreviations are a must to make the research title shorter
TRUE 3. Proper punctuation and correct grammar must be observed in writing the title.
FALSE4. All types of quantitative research design must include the independent and dependent
variables in the title
FALSE5. Jargons make a research title more sophisticated
FALSE6. Only the first letters of nouns and pronouns are capitalized.
FALSE7. To minimize the number of characters in the title, only use the chemical formula than
generic names.
TRUE 8. Use declarative format in writing the research title.
_____________
FALSE9. To make it more specific, the year must be included in the title
FALSE10. Using obsolete terms do not matter in writing the title.

What’s More

Directions: Evaluate the following erroneous research title and justify what makes it wrong.

Example: Phytochemical analysis and antioxidant activity of S. trifasciata leaves

Answer: The scientific name was abbreviated and not italicized.

1. An investigation of the effects of electronics uses on Interpersonal Relationship in adults.

Answer:”An investigation of”shouldn’t be included as it would only lengthen the title.

Answer:

What I Have Learned

Directions: Answer briefly what is asked.

1. A researcher is discouraged from putting too many words in the research title. Why?
-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. Why?

-Your title is your first opportunity to draw in readers, so you must ensure that it makesban
impact .Compared to the work you put in the pfull paper,the title may feel like an afterthought ,but
creating a good title is essential to maximizing the reacg to your article.

3.What are the components of a good research title?

-The purpose of the research
-The scope of the research
-The narrative tone of the paper[typically defined by the type of the research].
-The methods used to study the problem

What I Can Do

Directions: This activity is a continuation of what you have done in Lesson 1 of this module.
You are to construct a good research title for each of the quantitative research questions made on
page 6. Follow the format below:

Research question 1:
 What’s New Activity 1:
Expand Your Vocabulary!

Directions: Read through the text of this lesson and look for an underlined word that has the same
meaning as the word in the list below. Write the word on the space provided.

1. Uncharted - Unexplored
2. Motivation -Justify
3. Background - Context
4. Extensive - Exhaustive
5. Communicate - Articulate
6. Conceive - Conceptualized
7. Remarkable -Noteworthy
8. Inclusive –Comprehensive
9. Understanding - Perception
10. Valid – Legitimate

1. What is already known about the topic?

-Background of the Study
2. What is not known about the topic?

3. Why do you need to address those gaps?

-As you have rightly noted, research is conducted to bridge or address a gap in
knowledge.However ,to understand or identify a gap in knowledge,you need to do a literature
search,which is done before conducting the research.

4.What is the rationale of your study?

-The rationale of my research is the reason for conducting the study It is very important part of
your publication as it justifies the significance and novelty of the study.That is why it also
referred to as the justification of the study.

What I Have Learned

Directions: As you have learned from this lesson, answer each question comprehensively

. 1. What is the relevance of the Background of the Study in your research paper?
-Importance of having enough background information sufficient background information
helps your reader determine if you have a basic understanding of the research problem being
investigated and promotes confidence in the overall quality of you analysis and findings.
.

2.Compare and contrast Background of the Study and Literature Review.

 -Literature review is usually longer and it can be a whole work/article or a part of a
thesis.Background section is usually short and the first part of research article .The background section
os a journal article should briefly describe what is reported ine the literature so far.

3.What important components should be included in the Background of the Study?

-Background information in your introduction should indicate the root of the problem being a
studied ,it’s scope,and the extent to whivh previous studies have successfully investigated the
problem,noting ,particular,where gaps exist thatb your study attempts to address.

What I Can Do

Directions: Let’s expand the research topic and title you did in the activities from Lessons 1
and 2 by composing a one to two-page Background of the Study. Print it on a
short bond paper in the format below:

Name: Abigail M Baldo Section: HUMSS Date: ___________

Activity 1: That’s a Good Question

Directions: Here are some samples of research questions. Rank them on a scale of 1 to 10
(1= lowest, 10 = highest) based on their feasibility and clarity as a quantitative
research question. Then, provide a brief explanation of your rating.
