INTRODUCTION

Background of the Study

It is in this section where you write your rationale for conducting the study.

To rationalize means to justify, which is the primary essence of this part of the

proposal.

In this section, you try to win the hearts of your critique and your readers

and convince them that there is a need to conduct your study. There are various

ways of doing so. First, prove that there is a (perennial) problem that exists. Cite

statistics (e.g., eight out of ten students have trouble comprehending texts;

Philippines is second to the last in rank in the TIMMS). Second, talk about the

history of the problem (e.g., the modular platform of learning started in the 1940s

when the Philippines was under the Japanese colonization). Third, present the

knowledge gap. Mention what is known, what research has been done in the

past, and what is lacking. From there, introduce what you would like to

accomplish in your study.

In addition to convincing your critique and readers that your study is

essential, this section allows you describe the important variables in your study.

You may cite definitions of terms that are used in your study, especially those

that are not common to your readers. You may write a brief background about

your variables of interest.

know is”) or blogs whose author(s) are from unknown backgrounds. Materials

from the Internet may be cited for as long as they were written by personalities

with respectable affiliations (i.e., universities, organizations).

Remember to present your arguments in inverted pyramid style—that is,

from general to specific—that is, from international to national to regional to local

scenarios. Use third person pronouns only (though qualitative research

proposals may use the first person). Also, avoid having one-sentence

paragraphs. A good Background of the Study is usually about three to five

pages.

Significance of the Study

Start by introducing who will benefit from the results of your study. You

may write a string statement, enumerating the entities who will have a good use

of your results. Then, for every succeeding paragraph, elaborate how each entity

will probably use the results of your study.

Remember that there is NO need to include students in the list. It is

understood that they will eventually benefit from the research. Besides, students

not in the position to implement recommendations.

Statement of the Problem

objective. For instance, you write: “This study aims to determine the coping

mechanisms of grade school students regarding the challenges they encounter

in flexible learning.” Then, introduce your specific research questions. You may

write: “Specifically, this study seeks to answer to the following questions:”.

1. Specific research question 1? This should follow the indention of

the above paragraph.

2. Specific research question 2? This should follow the indention of

the above paragraph.

3. Specific research question 3? This should follow the indention of

the above paragraph.

4. Specific research question 4? This should follow the indention of

the above paragraph.

5. Specific research question 5? This should follow the indention of

the above paragraph.

REVIEW OF LITERATURE AND STUDIES

This chapter presents related literature and previous studies done on your

topic. Subchapters are based on your specific research questions.

Some reminders: First, always narrate—that is, write in paragraph form.

Do not present points using a bullet or numbered list. Second, plagiarism is

unethical. Always paraphrase borrowed ideas and cite your source—properly!

Third, this section is NOT a mere enumeration of related literature and studies.

Process cited ideas and connect them to one another.
