2. TITLE OF CHAPTER
CHAPTER I. Introduction and Background of the Study
INTRODUCTION
➢ The first chapter of your thesis is your introduction
➢ This is where you provide an introduction to the topic of your thesis: you give the context
in terms of content of the research project.
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
➢ The significance of the study will mainly focus on the question “Who will benefit from the
study?”

➢ These contain generalized in relation to the population. These are general inferences
applicable to a wider and similar population.
➢ Flexibility is considered in making of conclusions. It is not a must to state conclusions on
a one-to-one correspondence with the problems and the findings as all variables can be
subsume in one paragraph.
➢ Conclusions may be used as generalizations from a micro to a macro-level or vice versa
(ZOOM LENS approach).
RECOMMENDATIONS
➢ They should be based on the findings and conclusion of the study.
➢ Recommendations may be specific or general or both. They may include suggestions for
further studies.
➢ They should be in non-technical language.
➢ They should be feasible, workable, flexible, doable, adaptable.
