What I Have Learned
In this lesson, we focused on the scope and delimitation of study. It is important
to remember that:
✓ Indicating the scope and delimitation of the study serves as guiding boundaries that
will focus the study towards its objectives.
✓ Delimitation is within the control and preference of the researcher that is appropriate
to the study and delimits the range of the study.
✓ There are guidelines to follow in writing the scope and delimitation that can be
helpful for the researcher.
