 3. This research design measures a relationship between two variables
without the researcher controlling either of them.
4. Variables that are measured in a study because they potentially
influence the dependent variable, using statistical procedures like
analysis of covariance to control these variables.
5. Variable that shows the effects or results or outcomes of the influence
of the independent variables.
IV. DISCUSSION
Research Topics Related to Daily Life

Approaching problems from the interdisciplinary point of view and sharing

knowledge gathered in diffirent areas have remained a big challenged to
researchers. The most innovative research is the kind that operates on the
areas between different disciplines, this give rise to a new interactive model
whereby practical research raises new theoretical question which give rise
to further research. No organization, big or small will approve or implement
any program or action witout a well-done research backed up by valid and
reliable findings.

Dedicating our lives to research means making study and experiment our
profession, these activities lead to the acquisition of knowledge.
Writing a Research Title
The title of the research is the reserch problem or inquiry in a capsule
form/pyramid type. Great care must be taken in the formulation of the
research title. It must clearly reflect the topic of investigation and it must be
original, clear, concise or specific. When you finally decide on a
research topic, make sure that your research topic and research question
match. Too broad topics will lead you nowhere.
Broad Topics
Broad Topics should always be narrowed down.
Example:
 Blended Learning in English Classes
 Presidential Election Results
 Agri-business
 Social Networking
 Vegetarianism
Specific Topics
Specific topics are researchables
Example:

Subject Teacher: Margilyn P. Ordiz Page 3

  A Correlation Study on the Use of Blended Learning in Freshman
English classes and Students Achievement
 The Impact of Agribusiness on the Philippine Economy
 Campaign Events and Materials and their Impact on Presidential
Election Results.
 The Cause-Effect Relationships of social Networking and Online
Selling
 Effects of Vegetarianism on Physical Health
Techniques in Narrowing Down a Topic into a Research Question
 Examine the literature
 Talk over ideas with others
 Apply to a specific context
 Define the aim or desired outcomeof the study
Your research title should be:
 Comprehensive.
 Brief/Concise. It is not longer than 7 substantive words and no more
than 3 lines (written in inverted pyramid type).
 It is written in ALL-CAPS case (all letters are capitalized), bold face.
 The researcher/s must abide with the rules in formulating the research
title.

In choosing a research topic, it is important to select a topic that interests

and motivates you. It should be “doable” with the resources at your disposal
and within the required time frame. The research topic should be focused
and well-defined (Layder, 2015).
Describing Background of the Study

The Inrtoduction states briefly the background of the study and identifies
the rationale of the research problem. It begins with the general statement
of the problem, then focuses on a specific problem or issue, framing said
problem within the existing literature, pointing out the deficiencies in the
literature and targeting the study for evidence or proof.

The background of the study is basically an overview of the research study.

It provides information that is important and essential to understand the
main body of the research investigation which could be an offshoot of any
one of the following:

 Historical development
 Cultural developments

Subject Teacher: Margilyn P. Ordiz Page 4

  Academic developments
 Scientific findings
 Debates or arguments and a host of others.

These developments could give rise to your research questions. The

background of the study locates or situates your study in the context of your
specific field and other related fields.

The following will guide you in writing the background of your study:
 Direct quotation must not be written as the first paragraph; instead this
can be rephrased to add substance to details of the problem.
 The succeeding paragraph must come from the researcher/s. This must
not be copied from any article.
 Describe the problem situation by considering global, national, and local
forces. Discussion should be from general to specific. Emphasize
situations using facts and statistics. This discussion must have sources.
Follow referencing format using APA style.
 In the local scenario, cites the observations, local studies and the like.
There must be emphasis on the local scenario to warrant the existence
of the research. More discussion and description must be seen on this
part. Statistics should even be cited for more emphasis.
 End with the main objective of the study.

Stating Research Questions

Whenever you do research-qualitative, quantitative or mixed methods, your
goal is to help people, groups or organization understand better
phenomena, human behaviour, human interactions and other events in
daily life. With this in mind, the researcher’s formulation of research
questions is primary important. Make crucial decisions in the choice of
methods of data collection and in data analysis procedures. The research
questions you formulate give focus to the research as well as guide the
appropriacy of the decisions you make.

The following are guide in stating the research questions:

 The main problem is stated in declarative form and should reflect the
title; integral with is the objective of the study. The specific problems are
written in the question form.
 The question must match the thrusts of query of the interview or
observation guide.
 Limit the questions on what the research want to find out.

Subject Teacher: Margilyn P. Ordiz Page 5

  This section shoud be written in present tense.
Types of Research Question
1. Problem Questions – are general ang explanatory and have a crucial
influence on the form and content of topic questions.
2. Topic Questions – are specific and descriptive.

Indicating Scope and Delimitation

The scope and delimitation of the study sets boundaries and parameters of
the problem inquiry and narrows down the scope of inquiry and clarifies or
defines terms used. This scope is the domain of your research – what is in
the domain and what is not. You need to make as clear as possible what
you will be studying and what factors are within the accepted range of your
study.
Citing benefits and beneficiares of the Research Study

Significance of the Study

This part informs the reader on how the study will contribute to the well-
being of a person or progress of a group of society in general. The
significance of the study shows the benefits of the study in addressing
special problems, in improving economic and health conditions, or even
finding solutions to problems encountered in daily life, in shedding light on
problems of human behaviour, in refining existing knowledge for specific
audiences, such as researchers, leaders, practitioners, and policy makers,
among others. In writing the significance of the study, the researcher
should:
a. Describe the contribution of the study to the discipline as new
knowledge.
b. Cite the usefulness of the study.
The problem statement of quantitative research has basically the same
parts, explanation, requirements /restrictions.

Examples of Benefits and Beneficiaries Section From Actual Studies

Title of the Study: Task-Based Language Teaching and Its Effect on Second
Language Acquisition on College Freshman Students (Go, 2010).

Significance of the Study

Subject Teacher: Margilyn P. Ordiz Page 6

 Choosing an appropriate language teaching methodology for a group of
learners is a responsibility of language educators. With the teachers' explicit and
implicit knowledge of language acquisition and language learning processes, they
can select theoretically sound and more effective pedagogy appropriate for their
learners. However, implementing a chosen methodology necessitates
understanding its principles, as well as its strengths and weaknesses.

This study may be significant to the language teachers, the language

learners, and the concerned educators:

Teachers. Language teachers will become more aware of Task-based Language

Teaching (TBLT) and they would realize that tasks could be used as pedagogical
tools, as well as methodological procedure. Aware of the main goal of TBLT, they
could provide more opportunities for student interaction in the classroom to
enhance their language learning. They should be encouraged to provide the
learners with tasks that could develop their communicative skills, an important skill
for Filipino learners of English as a second language. Furthermore, Language
teachers will have better understanding of TBLT and how this is implemented;
they will appreciate the strong concept of this method and will be aware of its
limitations.

Language Learners. Students, the Language learners, would be made aware of

the usefulness of the English Language as a tool for communication and a tool for
understanding course content, or for academic purposes. Aware of the usefulness
of the language, they will be highly motivated to acquire/learn the English
language as their second language. It is not for integrative purposes but for
instrumental reasons. Realizing this, they will be strongly motivated to develop
their language proficiency in English. Providing them with the opportunity to use
the target language in meaningful and highly motivating context will enhance
academic learning.

Administration. The administration may be encouraged to include in the long-

term Development Plan, a Faculty Development Program where faculty could
develop their teaching competence and enhance the use of effective language
teaching methods. Further, they could implement policies to encourage faculty to
develop instructional materials for the offering of English courses based in the
learners' language needs, academically and professionally.

Textbook Writers. Aware of the TBLT as a language teaching methodology,

textbook writers would approach the preparation of learning materials based on
this pedagogical framework. Inclusion in their textbooks suggested communicative
tasks to be performed by the learners in the classroom would provide the students
with the opportunities to use the language for communication. These learning
strategies relating the grammatical structure to the communicative function in real
situations and real time could possibly enhance the leaners' communicative
proficiency.

Subject Teacher: Margilyn P. Ordiz Page 7

 Curriculum Writers. Knowing the communicative proficiency learners need,
curriculum writers have to design language courses which would enhance
learners' communicative skill preparing them for their career work. The course
description should include not only the subject content but also the communicative
skills, both macro and micro to be acquired/developed and how to teach these in
the best possible manner. Language teaching methodologies may be suggested
to advance learners' proficiency levels.

Part of the contribution of this study would be the developed instructional

material, a portfolio of TBLT lessons prepared for the first year tertiary level
students. The lesson outlines, patterned after Willis' (1986) model, are intended to
be used for one semester. Included in this teaching material are the printed texts
from newspapers and journals. Teachers may select from these reading materials
the appropriate text they can use in heir class.

With the findings of this study, language teachers would be encouraged to

assess he effectiveness of other language teaching pedagogies which can be
adapted to the nguage needs of the learners.

V. WRAP UP
The usefulness of quantitative research in daily life is that, providing
solutions to problems and shedding light on situations, concerns, issues
encountered in daily life.

Your research title must be specific because broadly stated topics lead
nowhere. The background of the research states the rationale of the study,
as well as the surrounding circumstances why the study was undertaken.

The statement of the problem is more clearly shown through the research
questions which show the focus of the research study. The scope and
delimitation sets boundaries and parameters of the study. The significance
of the study, on the other hand, cites the benefits of the study as well as its
beneficiaries.

VI. VALUING
Reseach affects society and the lives of each one of us each day of our
lives. The way we perceive the world, the way we experience relationships
with others, the wat society is organized and governed and a lot more are
influence by the ever expanding frontiers of knowledge. For us to make
sense of our world and even of our own lives, we need research to answer
the phenomena.
