This answers the question Why?
A description of a difficulty or lack that needs to be

Considered as an intelligent guess or prediction that
gives directional to the researcher to answer the
research question
Type of hypothesis stated in the affirmative
Type of hypothesis stated in the negative
This part introduces the research to a reader
This part defines jargons and technical terms
These are terms used exclusively by a certain field
This part imposes the importance and benefits of
the research

Limitations on the research design imposed
deliberately by the researcher
The ____ becomes the main thrust of the study. It
serves as a guide in conducting the investigation
A diagrammatic representation of a conceptual
framework.
The expansion of the main problem or the
subproblems
An accepted and tested hypotheses but not proven
Assumptions that are based on reasoning and logic

are to be gathered
- Population or universe from whom the data are to be
collected

researcher himself.
- It must be within the interest of the researcher.
- It must be within the specialization of the researcher.
