I CAN SET THE SCOPE AND LIMITS OF THE STUDY;

I CAN DISCUSS THE SIGNIFICANCE OF IDENTIFYING SETTING THE SCOPE AND LIMITS OF THE STUDY

I CAN STATE THE SCOPE AND DELIMITATION OF THE STUDY.

SAMPLE SCOPE
This investigation is conducted to determine the
status of teaching Science in secondary schools in Province
A as perceived by the students in Science classes during the
school year 1989-1990. The aspects looked into were the
qualifications of the teachers, their methods and strategies,
facilities/forms of supervisory assistance, problems and
proposed solutions to the problems.
 Although the research has its aims, there were some

DELIMTATION
unavoidable limitations. First, because of the time limit, this
research was only conducted on only a small size of population
SAMPLE
who were attending the Writing 3 course in their third semester at
CTU. Therefore, to generalize the results for larger groups, the
study should have involved more participants at different levels.
Second, the students’ overloaded work, to some extent, might affect
the result of the correlation between the students’ motivation in
learning to write in English and their writing performance because
they are required to take part in many studies at the same time.
Finally, the slow network might discourage participants’ interests
and motivation in joining peer feedback activities.

PRACTICAL RESEARCH 1
PRACTICE TASK
Read the foregoing text from the study
of Abasta and Freal (2013). Identify the
scope and delimitation.
The study covered the financial lifestyle management
of employees at Central Luzon College of Science and
Technology, Olongapo City for the period covering
February 18 to March 11, 2013.
The study investigated on the financial data of
the employees’ family which include the monthly salary
and income, assets, capital assets and liabilities. It
includes details of their monthly expenditures such as
their household expenditures, living/personal
expenditures, transportation expenditures, children and
dependents expenditures and government taxes paid for
the month.
The study also included questions in relation to
their spending and saving practices and the details of
their borrowings.
