Abstract
The text boxes contain the reminders and contents of the different sections. Do not forget to
remove the text boxes when you are done with each section.
The abstract must be written using 150 to 250 words, written in one paragraph. The basic
components are:
Keywords: (Words that appear on the title should not be repeated as keywords, many journals allow not
more than six keywords. The keywords should be specific to the article.)
1 Introduction
Highlight the Trend/s in the field. Cite and reference only works pertinent to the specific issue.
Pinpoint the Issues underlying the trend/s.
State the overall Objective/intent of the paper in light of the research gap identified. Demonstrate the
logical continuity between previous and present work. Develop the problem with enough breadth and
clarity to make it generally understood by as wide a professional audience as possible.
Discuss the possible contribution of the research attempt to advancing/improving disciplinal theory,
research, practice and policy. It is in this section that you state the main and specific research questions.
Explain here your approach to solving the problem. At this point, a definition of the variables and a
formal statement of your hypotheses give clarity to the paper. Bear in mind the following questions in
closing the introduction: What variables did I plan to manipulate? What results did I expect, and why did I
expect them? Clearly develop the rationale for each hypothesis.
2.0 Theoretical Background
Cross-reference to strengthen claims.
2
Provide an introductory paragraph that explains what your thesis is all about.
Describe how you found your sources and how you analyzed then for inclusion and
discussion in the review.
In the last paragraph of this section, summarize the key findings and
emphasize their significance. Connect the key findings back to your main research
question.
3.0 Method
Adequately describe the sample here. Discuss in detail the locale, the subjects and
the sampling technique used. If the sample is not representative of the population, give the
underlying reason.
If humans participated as subjects of the study, report the procedures for selecting
and assigning them, together with the agreements made. Report major characteristics such as
sex, age, and other characteristics. Whenever a particular demographic characteristic is a
variable, describe the group specifically.
Describe the instrument/s in terms of how it was developed, the number of items, validity
and reliability. If the instrument was adopted/adapted, do not forget to mention the source.
In this section, discuss how you took necessary reasonable precautions to respect
confidentiality rights of your respondents, which includes confidentiality in creating, storing,
accessing, transferring and disposing of records under your control, whether written or in any other
medium. Confidential information stored in databases must be coded to avoid inclusion of personal
identifiers. In your informed consent form, you should have used language reasonably understandable
to the participants and that consent has been granted in case of audio or video recording.
Part of ethical standards for research is taking reasonable steps so that records and data remain
available to serve the best interests of individual or organizational clients, research participants or
appropriate others.
Also discuss here how you obtain appropriate approval prior to conducting research activities
and that you conduct research in accordance with the approved research protocol. Do not fabricate
data or falsify results. Do not plagiarize. Give credit to whom credit is due.
Mention the techniques for data analysis and why these are appropriate. Statistical formulas
should not be given except when regression models are used.
4.1 Results

For statistical analysis, the information needed would depend upon the tests used. The tables
will likewise vary. You may want to refer to the Publication Manual of the American Psychological
Association (APA) or to published articles which present tables in APA style or you may also seek
your statistical consultant’s help.

5.0 Conclusions
Start this section with 1 – 2 statement about the background of your study. Acknowledge
limitations and address alternative explanations or results.
You may this section with a commentary on the importance of your findings, that is: why is your
problem important? What propositions are confirmed or disconfirmed by your findings? If the findings
are valid and replicable, what real-life phenomena can be explained by the results?
6.0 References
