BENEFITS AND BENEFICIARIES

OF RESEARCH
Chapter 3: Lesson 6
 INTRODUCTION

 This lesson informs the reader on how the study will contribute to the well-
being of a person or progress of a group or society in general.
 When you mull over who/what benefit from your study, focus on your problem
which will guide you in identifying the specific contribution of your study.
 Framing said study as a policy study requires that the problem be situated in
national labor policies.
 Qualitative studies investigating impact of certain projects, activities or
programs can best showcase benefits and beneficiaries of the study in the fields
of accountancy, business, management, science, technology, mathematics,
humanities, social sciences, engineering and other fields
ASPECTS OF SIGNIFICANCE: SIGNIFICANCE FOR
THEORY.

In this section of the problem statement, the researcher can outline the
research study’s contribution to fundamental knowledge by describing
how the study fits into the theoretical traditions in the sciences or applied
fields in ways that will be new, insightful or creative (Marshall and
Rossman, 1995).

The significance statement should show how the study will

contribute to research traditions.
 ASPECTS OF SIGNIFICANCE: SIGNIFICANCE
FOR THEORY.

The research study identifies gaps in the literature to which the study will
contribute.

If the research is an area where theory is well-developed, the study may be

significant test or expansion of the theory.

The researcher may use concepts developed by previous researchers and

formulate questions similar to those used in previous research. Data
collection, however, may be in different setting, with different groups, and at a
different time.
ASPECTS OF SIGNIFICANCE : SIGNIFICANCE FOR
POLICY AND PRACTICE

The significance of a study for policy and practice can be

established by presenting data that show often the
problem and how costly it can be.

Presentation of statistics on how serious the traffic

problem is in the metropolis can make a study on this
practice truly significant
IN CONCLUSION, WHEN MULLING OVER THE SIGNIFICANCE OF
THE RESEARCH STUDY YOU WISH TO UNDERTAKE, ASK
YOURSELF THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS:

Who has an interest in my research?

What do we already know about the topic?

What has not been answered adequately in previous research and

practice?

How will this new research contribute to theory, policy and practice
in his area?
EXAMPLE OF BENEFITS AND
BENEFICIARIES FROM ACTUAL STUDIES

Title of the Study: Establishing Hydroponics Farming

Technology in Pasig City
• The beneficiaries of the study were clearly the
cultural minorities themselves, the Kankaneys,
because the study was designed to identify their
needs and concerns that pertinent remedies or
programs can be doneto improve on their situation.

 The government (GO’s) and non-government

organizations (NGO’s) were likewise benefited by the
cultural minorities benefited by the study in the
sense that its findings helped them identify the
needs of the people and served as a basis for them to
design an integrated, comprehensive and attainable
program for the cultural preservation and
development of the respondents.

 For the teachers, educators, curriculum planners,

administrators and researchers, the findings of
the study facilitated the formulation of
implementing guidelines in the teaching of
culture in all school levels nationwide, to acquaint
then to different cultural aspirations of the
different cultures.
