INTRODUCTION

Background of the Study

With the rapid advancement of technology today, there have been

numerous developments that completely changed the lives of many. One of

these developments is the digitization of book which is now called an

electronic-book. As defined by Gardiner and Musto (2010), an electronic book

(also e-book, eBook, digital book) is a text- and image-based publication in

digital form produced on, published by, and readable on computers or other

digital devices. Digital books are popular these days because of their

accessibility with just the use of internet and e-book readers such as Kindle,

Wattpad, and Google Play Books. E-books also have functions that allow

readers to (1) have full access and availability; (2) search for words or phrases;

(3) bookmark pages; (4) highlight words; (5) change font size; and (6) use

various multimedia effects, such as oral reading, animations, music and sound

effects (Zinn & Langdown, 2011; Korat & Shamir, 2007).

Over time, reading from the screen has become the norm for a number of

activities. The vast majority of people, for example, read and respond to

emails without first printing them. Most adults in the United Kingdom now

access newspapers and magazines online (Sweney, 2013), probably as a result

of the uptake of tablet devices and smartphones. Books and academic journals

are also increasingly electronic. In 2014, e-books comprised some 30% of all

book sales in the United States (Bercovici, 2014); From January until August

2012, Amazon.co.uk sold 114 Kindle books for every 100 printed books

(Malik, 2012). While evidence suggests the overall proportion of e-book to

printed book purchasing may be stabilizing at about 1:3 (Wallop, 2015),

increasing investment in e-books and electronic journal services by higher

education institutions means access to academic titles and articles is

increasingly online.

Because eBooks are relatively new, the research up to this point has been

inconclusive as to whether interactive eBooks truly increase reading

achievement and student interest over that of printed text. Yet despite

inconclusive data, schools are in the process of deciding if interactive eBooks

should replace printed text whether in libraries or in the classroom. (Beimers

2014)

Studies (De Jong and Bus 2004; Jones and Brown 2011; Larson, 2009;

Verhallen, Bus, and De Jong, 2006), have determined that the multimedia

features of e-books have the potential of being beneficial to young children

over traditional printed texts; however, studies have failed to demonstrate that

these additional text features increase reading achievement over traditional

printed text.

The proliferation of electronic information available online and through

academic libraries has meant students are increasingly reading from the

screen. As a result there has been much research on the reading of electronic

documents in comparison to their print counterparts. Recent studies suggest

that speed and recall differences between media are insignificant (Yoram Eden

& Eshet-Alkalai, 2013; Young, 2014),

Today, as electronic books are becoming evermore ingrained and implanted

into our daily lives, we all find ourselves reading more frequently on screen.

Whether it be ti undertake active reading on a PPC workstation or enjoy a

novel on an eReader, the act of reading is shifting more and more toward the

digital, making it an opportune time to investigate the on-screen reading

process (Pearson, Buchanan, & Timbleby 2013).

Statement of the Problem

This contains the general problem which is followed by specific

questions.

Specifically, this study seeks to answer the following questions:

1. All specific questions are enumerated in series. Beginning questions

are entered in tab while succeeding lines lies begin flushed to the left .

Objectives of the Study

This section may be enumerated in series or be stated in brief. This

resembles the statement of the problem, however, statements are in declarative

form.

Hypothesis of the Study

The hypothesis is stated in the null form. The number of inferential questions

would determine the number of hypothesis/ es.

Significance of the Study

Address the significance of the study to concern individuals and

entities. Order of presentation is according to the individual/ s who would

mostly/ greatly benefit from the study to the least individual/s .

Scope and Limitation of the Study

This section has to reflect the coverage or inclusions (scope) of the

study as well as its exclusions (limitations). Restatement of the title is needed.

Details of the components of each of the variable have to be cited in this

section. A brief description of how data will be gathered, the target

respondents, and the locale are also cited. Period or locale may also be cited

(as deemed essential in the study. eg. IPCR rating)

Conceptual/Theoretical Framework of the Study

This section contains the theory/ ies to which the study is anchored.

There is a need to briefly discuss why the said theory/ ies was chosen and how

will they be used in the study.

Conceptual Paradigm

This section contains the diagrammatic representation of the study

indicating the variables. It is a separate page from other parts of the

manuscript.

dependent variables of the study

After the paradigm, there should be a brief explanation of the

illustration/ figure (paradigm).

Operational Definition of Terms

This section contains variables under study. Each of the components of

the variable has to be defined conceptually and operationally. Author/ source

of definition need to be cited after the conceptual definition. Operational

definition is based on how the term/s is used in the study. The operational

definition need to reflect/ identify the kind of variable used. Defined terms

must be alphabetically arranged.
