Chapter I
INTRODUCTION
This chapter of the paper presents the problem and its setting. It includes the
background of the study, the statement of the problem, significance of the study, and
scope and delimitation of the study.
Background of the Study
This is the description that leads the reader to understanding the research
questions and appreciate why they are asked (Creswell, 2013).
Statement of the Problem
This section contains the purpose statement and the research question(s).
Significance of the Study
Determines the audience who will benefit from a study of the problem and
explains how exactly will the results be significant to them.
Scope and Delimitation
This presents the coverage of the research in terms of location, time,
respondents, etc., and the potential weaknesses or problems with the study
identified by the researcher.
Chapter 2
REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE AND CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK
This chapter of the paper presents the review of related literature, the
conceptual framework, the research hypotheses, and the definition of terms.
Related Literature
This is a written summary of journal articles, books, and other documents that
describes the past and current state of information on the topic of your research
study.
Conceptual Framework
This is a diagram that connects variables of the study with lines (correlations)
or arrows (cause-effect relationships).
Research Hypothesis(es)
A hypothesis is a prediction of the possible outcomes of a study (Fraenkel &
Wallen, 2009).
Hypotheses are statements in quantitative research in which the investigator
makes a prediction or a conjecture about the outcome of a relationship among
attributes or characteristics (Creswell, 2012)
Definition of Terms
Variables and sub-variables or values in conceptual framework are defined,
except very common variables like grade level, gender, school type where the values
are indicated in the framework itself.
Chapter 3
METHODOLOGY
This chapter includes the research design, the sample, the instruments, the
intervention (if research is experimental), the data collection procedure, and the plan
for data analysis.
Research Design
Research designs are the specific procedures involved in the research
process: sampling, data collection, and data analysis.
The Sample
The first step leading to the process of collecting quantitative data is to identify
the people and places you plan to study. This involves determining which group of
people will you study, who, specifically, these people are, and how many of them you
will need to involve
The Instrument(s)
This refers to the questionnaire or data gathering tool to be constructed,
validated and administered (Creswell, 2012).
Intervention
Clearly and completely describe how the intervention will be implemented,
such that the reader can replicate the intervention. Describe what happens in
comparison group.
Data Collection Procedure
Quickly describe whose permission will be sought and arrangements to make
to administer instruments. Describe when instruments will be administered and who
will administer them. Add details on arrangements and administration of instruments,
if needed.
Plan for Data Analysis
This section indicates how the data will be analyzed and reported; it should
specify the qualitative and/or quantitative methods that will be used in analyzing the
data gathered for the research.

Chapter 4
PRESENTATION AND ANALYSIS OF DATA
In reporting the results, the researcher stays close to the statistical findings
without drawing broader implications or meaning from them. Further, this section
includes summaries of the data rather than the raw data (e.g., the actual scores for
individuals). A results section include tables, figures, and detailed explanations about
the statistical results
(Based on First Question in the SOP)
Includes results and discussion relevant to the first question of the research or
the first variable of the study.
(Based on Second Question in the SOP)
Includes results and discussion relevant to the second question of the
research or the second variable of the study.
Re-conceptualized Framework
If some or all findings are different from expected, have a section on re-
conceptualized framework at end of Chapter 4 and make diagram of re-
conceptualized framework. Starting with text, cite figure (diagram) of re-
conceptualized framework. Explain changes vis-à-vis Conceptual Framework of the
Study.

Chapter 5
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
This chapter presents the conclusions and recommendations of the study.
Conclusions
The portion that gives meaning to your research and your results. The
objective of the Conclusion section is to examine the results, determine whether they
solve the research question, compare them within themselves and to other results
(from literature), explain and interpret them, and then draw conclusions or derive
generalizations, and make recommendations for applying the results or for further
research.
Recommendations
Write recommendations for beneficiaries of results of study cited in
Significance of Study.
