Writing Importance or Significance of the

Study
In this section, the researcher states the value or importance of the research study. It is
where the significant contributions of the results of the study are itemized. It will
justify the reason for your study.
In writing the importance or significance of the study, the researcher or writer must
explained the rationale, timeless and or relevance of the study to existing conditions.
Also, the possible solutions to existing problems or improvements must be identified. It
should also discuss the implications such as the possible causes of the problems
discovered, the possible effects of the problems, and the remedial measure to solve the
problems. The good points of the systems being continued or to be improved must
included in this section.

In addition, it must be shown who are the individuals, groups or communities who may be placed in
a more advantageous position on account of the study.
The following phrased could help express the importance of the study:
Researchers may find the findings useful as ……………

Importance or Significance of the Study

Guidance in explaining the importance of the study. The rationale,

timeliness, and/or relevance of the study to existing conditions
must contain explanations or discussions of any or all of the
following:
1. The rationale, timeliness and/or relevance of the study. The
rationale, timeliness and/or relevance of the study to existing
conditions must be explained or discussed. For instance, a survey
test in science reveals that the performance of the students in the
high schools of Province A is poor. It must be pointed out that it is a
strong reason why an investigation of the teaching in science in the
said high schools is necessary. Also, the study is timely and relevant
because today, it is science and technology that are making some
nations very highly industrialized and progressive. So, if science is
properly studied and taught and then applied, it can also make the
country highly industrialized and progressive.

2. Possible solutions to existing problems or improvement to

unsatisfactory conditions. The poor performance of the students in
the high schools of Province A in a survey test in science should be
explained as a problem and an unsatisfactory condition. So if the
inquiry is made the possible causes of the poor performance of the
students in the science survey test may be discovered so that
remedial measures may be instituted to solve the problem or the
unsatisfactory situation.

3. Who are to be benefited and how they are going to be benefited.

It must be shown who are the individuals, groups, or communities
who may be placed in a more advantageous position on account of
the study. In the inquiry conducted about the teaching of science,
for instance, some weaknesses of the instructional program may be
discovered. This will benefit the administrators of the high schools
in Province A because they can make the findings of the study as a
basis of formulating their supervisory plans for the ensuing year.
They may include in their plans some measures to correct the
weaknesses so as to strengthen the instruction. In turn, the
students will also benefit for learning more science. In the long run,
the whole country will enjoy the good results of the study.

4. Possible contribution to the fund of knowledge. If in the study it

is found out that the inductive method is very effective in the
teaching of science, it should be pointed out that this can be a
contribution of the study to the fund of knowledge.

5. Possible implications. It should be discussed here that the

implications include the possible causes of the problems
discovered, the possible effects of the problems, and the remedial
measures to solve the problems. Implications also include the good
points of a system which ought to be continued or to be improved
if possible.
