Scope and Delimitation

CONTENT SCOPE AND
DELIMITATION
Scope

it commonly refers to the depth of your

research area or parameters. This includes
restriction of the target population, research
local, specified duration, design, procedure, and
instrument used.
1. Population

According to Majid (2018),

this stands for the entire pool
from which the sample is drawn
 1. Population
Consider these examples:

A.Schools operating in Cauayan (Private and Public)

B.Senior High School Students of a School
C.Grade 10 Students in a School Division
D.Tricycle Drivers operating in a Barangay e. All
Working Students in a grade level
2. Research Locale

It refers to the particular

location where the study is
conducted.
3. Specific Duration

This stands for the

exclusive time frame when
the research
is conducted.
3. Specific Duration

• School Year 2023-2024

• 1 st Semester of the School Year
 4. Research Method
This refers to the systematic plan for conducting
research which includes strategies, process,
techniques, and procedures for collecting and

Here are the four (4) most commonly used
qualitative designs that you can use
