SCOPE AND DELIMITATION OF

RESEARCH
 MOTIVATION:

• Directions: The student will guess the picture shown, the teacher will ask four students to guess the picture
shown.

1. 2.
1. WHAT IS YOUR IDEA ABOUT BOUNDARIES?

2. WHAT IS YOUR IDEA ABOUT LIMITATIONS?

 ACTIVITY

• Direction: The students will analyze and understand the picture shown, the student will go to their respective groups.
 ANALYSIS

• 1. Based on your activity what have you observe?

• 2. in your activity how will you differentiate independent and
dependent variable?
OBJECTIVES:

• Identify the scope and delimitation of a particular

research
• Discuss the things that you need to do to make scope and
delimitation
 SCOPE AND DELIMITATION

• This presents the coverage of the research in

terms of location, time, respondents, etc., and the
potential weaknesses or problems with the study
identified by the researcher.
What the researcher does NOT intend
to do
A researcher must appreciate that the
research must define LIMITATIONS and
inform others about what these limits are
 COMPONENTS OF SCOPE AND
DELIMITATIONS

• Topic of the study

• Objective or problem to be addressed
• Timeframe
• Locale of the study
• Characteristics of the respondents
• Method and research instruments
 IN WRITING THIS SECTION

• cite data collection

• identify school involved, number of classes, their grade/year level,
number of participants (correspondents, subjects), and topics of
lessons covered (if applicable).
• state inadequate measures of variables, loss or lack of participants,
small sample sizes, errors in measurement, and other factors
typically related to data collection and analysis.
 WHAT ARE THE BOUNDARIES THAT
PERHAPS THE DESIGN OF YOUR STUDY
MAY NOT ALLOW

• A brief statement of general purpose of the study.

• The subject matter and topics studied and discussed.
• The locale of the study, where the data were gathered or the entity to which the data

 EXAMPLE OF DELIMITATION

• Boundaries of your particular study

• Delimitations are in your control
• Your study do not become impossibly large to complete
• Often strong related to your theory and research questions.
 THE SCOPE AND DELIMITATION OF
THE STUDY

• THE SCOPE IDENTIFIES THE BOUNDARIES OF THE STUDY IN TERM IF

SUBJECT , OBJECTIVES, FACILITIES, AREA, TIME FRAME, AND THE ISSUES
TO WHICH THE RESEARCH IS FOCUSED.

1. THE COVERAGE IF THIS STUDY..

2. THE STUDY CONSIST…
3. THIS STUDY IS FOCUS ON…
• The delimitation of the study is delimiting a study by
geographic location, age, sex, population traits,
population size, or other similar considerations.
QUESTION AND CLARIFICATION
 APPLICATION

• 1.What are the components of scope and

delimitation?
• 2. What is in the difference between the scope
of the study and delimitation of the study and
how to write it?
• 3. How to write significance of the study?
 ASSESSMENT

• Group Work: Write the scope and

delimitation of your research of
it?
