Paraiso
Smokey Mountain

Return to a land called paraiso

A place where a dying river ends
No birds there fly over paraiso
No space allows them to endure
The smoke that screens the air
The grass that's never there
And if I could see a single bird, what a joy
I try to write some words and create
A simple song to be heard
By the rest of the world
I live in this land called paraiso
In a house made of cardboard floors and walls
I learned to be free in paraiso
Free to claim anything I see
Matching rags for my clothes
Plastic bags for the cold
And if empty cans were all I have, what a joy
I never fight to take someone
Else's coins and live with fear
Like the rest of the boys
Paraiso, help me make a stand
Paraiso, take me by the hand
Paraiso, make the world understand

WHAT IS IT

In this module, we will learn the mechanics of composing a research report.

What is a research report?

A research report is an expanded paper that presents interpretations and

analyses of a phenomenon based on experiments and previous information so readers
can better understand it. It is produced through formal investigation and scientific
inquiry.

What are the features of a good research report?

a. It is a detailed presentation of research processes and findings, and it usually

includes tables and graphs.
b. It is written in a formal language.
c. It is usually written in the third person.
d. It is formative and based on first-hand verifiable information.

What is the purpose of a research report?

The purpose of a research report is to demonstrate or develop your ability to

undertake a complete piece of research which includes the research design, and an
appreciation of its significance in the field.

What are the essential parts of a research report?

1. The Title Page contains an informative title that describes the content of the
paper, the name of the author/s, addresses or affiliations, and date of
submission.
2. The Abstract contains the summary of research findings and conclusions. It
briefly presents the context of the study, research questions or objectives,
methodology, major findings, conclusions, and sometimes implications. An
abstract does not contain any citation nor plenty of statistical results. Its length
ranges from 100 to 250 words.
3. The Introduction explains the current state of the field and identifies research
gaps. It is also the part where the research focus is presented by addressing
the identified gaps in the topic. It puts the research topic in context. It is usually
three to five paragraphs long.
4. The Literature Review contains the summary and synthesis of all available
sources directly related to the study. This is divided into two sections:
a. Related concepts present some of the fundamental concepts
needed by the readers to better understand the study. Concepts and
theories are defined, explained, and described.

Downloaded by MARIZ ARUL (mariceline0824@gmail.com)

 lOMoARcPSD|21287949

b. Related studies are based on previously conducted studies directly

related to the paper. The section ends with a paragraph that
synthesizes all the studies presented and puts the study in context.
Hence, the last paragraph may include the topic and specific
research problems.
5. The Methodology, also known as Materials and Methods, describes how the
experiments or tests in the research were conducted. It presents the context
within which the study was conducted, the participants, the instruments used,
data gathering procedure, and data analysis. In discussing the context of the
study and the participants, the number and the demographic profiles of the
participants are explained as well as the place where the study was conducted.
The discussion of the instruments used presents the tools for gathering
data. These tools may be in the form of a questionnaire, interview, focus group
discussion, survey, and tests among others. All of the instruments used should
be described in detail, along with an explanation of how they were validated.
The data gathering section presents the details on how the data were
collected, while the data analysis section presents how the data were
analyzed, either qualitatively (coding scheme) or quantitatively (statistical
tools). The past tense is used in writing the methodology.
6. The Results factually describe the data gathered and the tables and graphs
that summarize the collected data. Along with the tables and graphs are their
respective interpretations. The flow of the results section should follow the
flow of the research questions/problems/objectives. It is expected that for
each research problem or objective, corresponding results are presented.
7. The Discussion explains all the results of the previous studies presented in the
literature review. In this section, research problems or objectives, as well as the
major findings are restated in the first paragraph. The succeeding paragraphs
should explain whether the study supports or rejects the previous findings and
explain the reasons for this. New findings uncovered in the research should
also be stated. Like the flow of the results, the discussion part follows the flow
of the research problems or objectives.
8. The Conclusion contains the re-statement of research problem, the major
findings, the recommendations, and the implications.
9. The References contain the different sources used in the study, these may be
academic books, journals, and other online sources. Its format depends on the
school, teacher, or field of study.

What are the steps in writing a research report?

1. Choose a relevant social issue as your topic.

2. Make a plan that is SMART (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Results-oriented
and Time-bound).
3. Check with the teacher for advice and approval.
4. Conduct the research by gathering data and taking notes.
5. Outline the research project.
6. Write the research project with all the essential parts present.
7. Edit then reread the report for checking and correcting errors.
