PRACTICAL RESEARCH 2
Quarter 1 - Module 3: RESEARCH PROBLEM

I. Introduction:

Research plays salient and integral roles and contributions to the educational

system and sector. Addressing various educational issues, concerns, phenomena,

problems and challenges can be most appropriately attained through the application of

research procedures, methods and applications. Moreover, research also opens ample

opportunities to discover, explore and develop varied educational innovations and

breakthroughs that could benefit the learners, faculty and entire school community.

II. Objectives: CS_RS12-ld-e-1;2;3;4

At the end of the activity, learners are expected to:

1. familiarize with the guidelines or standards for formulating a research title;

2. comprehend the standards in composing a research rationale, introduction or background of

the study; and

3. formulate accurate research questions based on research standards.

3
 III. Vocabulary List:

Objectives- These are the purposes behind the conduct of the study.

Rationale- It discusses the general problem, specific situations and reasons for

conducting the study.

IV. Pre-test

Write T if the statement is True and F if it is false.

1. The research title should be highly detailed.

2. The research title should be written in a complete sentence.

3. The research questions represent the objectives of the study.

4. The background of the research should start with the discussion of the general

problem.

V. Learning Activities
FORMULATING A RESEARCH TITLE

1. The title must be broad enough to cover all pertinent and essential aspects of the study but should

be brief and concise.

2. The title must contain the following elements:

a. subject matter or research problem

b. the setting or locale of the study

c. the respondents or participants involved in the study

d. the time or period when the study was conducted (if the title is too long because of these

elements, the timeframe may be omitted)

3. Avoid terms such as “Analysis of”, “A Study of”, “An Investigation of” and the like in the

title because all these are understood to have been done in a research.

4. If the title contains more than one line, it should be written in inverted pyramid.

5. When typed or encoded in the title page, all words in the title should be in capital letters.

6. If possible, the title should not be longer than 15 substantive words.

7. Avoid a long detailed title that gives detailed information.

8. If the terms such as assessment and evaluation are already emphasized in the study, these

should be deleted in the title to shorten it.

5
CHARACTERISTICS OF A GOOD TITLE

The following are the standard attributes of a good and accurate research title:

1. The title should provide clear information about the objectives and contents of the

research.

2. The research title should not be stuffy or dull, instead it should capture what the study

will cover.

3. A research title should be in phrase form rather than a complete sentence.

4. Formulate a research title in a straightforward manner.

5. A research title does not make use of a punctuation.

6. A research title is not underlined or enclosed in quotation marks

Examples of Approved Titles in Various Disciplines

1. Higher Order Thinking Skills in Reading of Freshmen in University of Northern Philippines,

Academic Year 2015-2016

2. Pinay Single Mom: Paghanga o Pagkutya? A Multi-Case Study on the Lives and Experiences

of the Solo Parents in Zamboanga City

3. Establishment of Jackfruit Tea Processing Plan in Barangay Bantayan, Tabaco, Albay

 DESCRIBING BACKGROUND OF RESEARCH

The background of the study contains information about the significance and validity of the

research problem. It generally aims to orient the readers to the problem area. It serves to tackle the

present state of knowledge concerning the problem.

In order to arrive at a good background of the study, the following questions should be

considered:

1. What facets of the problem are known?

2. What needs further investigation?

3. What approaches have been used in research of the problem?

In the present system of research writing, the background of the study may follow a certain

hierarchy of discussions of themes, problems and concepts. This can be done by discussing the

general issues about the research problem in a global or international scale, followed by tackling the

national issues or trends relevant to the main topic, next is the discussion of the local scenario. The

legal basis of the study, if there’s any should be discussed in the background, followed by the

researcher’s motivation

Important Elements to be Included in the Background of the Research

1. general situations related to the main problem

2. specific situations observed and experienced by the researcher

3. related concepts and ideas to the problem including important vocabularies

4. discussion of existing or present situations

5. gaps to be filled in by the study

STATING RESEARCH QUESTIONS

Research Questions- are also called investigative questions and are the specific questions

which are to be answered in the study. These are all in question form. Answering these

specific research questions is important in determining and applying the appropriate solution

to the problem.

STANDARDS IN FORMULATING GOOD RESEARCH QUESTIONS

1. The research questions should reflect objectives that are observable, measurable or verifiable.

2. The research questions should reflect clear goals or objectives, stated in precise goals.

3. The research questions or problems should be limited enough to make definite conclusions

possible.

4. The major research question may be followed by minor statements or questions.

8
Investigative Questions- are the specific questions in topical form that lead to the attainment of

research objectives and in testing the hypothesis.
