PROJECT OVERVIEW

Background of the Study

The background of the study gives an overview of what the research is all about.

This part of the research study presents a situational analysis of the topic at hand,

particularly giving clear global, national, regional and local scenarios. Issues,

contradictory results, reactions, as well as controversies about the chosen topic will have

to be discussed fully providing scientific reasons for the need to undertake a research on

the topic. Citations are needed in this part of the Project Study.

In addition, the discussion should be done very thoroughly, indicating the

rationale and objectives of the research study.

This portion of the research study should clearly indicate its “why” aspect in order

to fully establish the


need for the study. It is at this portion of the paper that the review of literature has to be mentioned. The literatures shall strengthen the

need to conduct the study. It is best to use literatures within the past 10 years. Journals, theses, dissertations, magazines, newspapers,

speeches and other publications are very good sources.

In the development of ideas and presentation of facts, the importance of the study

has to be stated specifying the beneficiaries of the research. In every paragraph, the

researcher should be able to identify those who will benefit from the work and how each

of them will benefit from it.

Take note however, that there are no side headings used for importance of the

study, objectives, and review of literature. All these are integrated into the discussion and

presentation of the background of the study.

Indention should always be five spaces. The first character of the first word

should be typed on the sixthspace.

The three types of headings are illustrated below:

Paragraph heading. Xxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxx xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxx xx.

Xxxxx xxxx xxxxxx xxx xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx xxxxx.

Statement of the Problem

The main problem is presented first in one paragraph using a declarative sentence.

This is followed by the specific problems, with an introductory sentence and

numbered. All specific research problems are in interrogative sentences.

An example is provided below:

The main aim of this study is to find out whether or not a significant correlation

exists between values and teaching styles of faculty members in teacher education

institutions in the City of Baguio.

Specifically, it shall seek to answer the following questions:

What are the most preferred and most practiced instrumental and terminal values

of the respondents?

a. To what extent do the instrumental values determine the terminal

values ?
Notes (please delete) 9

How do the instrumental and terminal values ofthe respondents significantly vary

according to the moderating variables of: gender; age; educational attainment;

number of years of teaching experience; teaching status; teaching classifications

and subject assignment ?

METHODOLOGY

Write an introductory sentence for this chapter.

Software Development Methodology

State and explain the research method used and why it was chosen. Be specific

about the research method, whether it is descriptive, experimental or historical. Mention

also the approach/es used in the study. For instance, if the descriptive method is used,

state whether the study adopted survey, correlational, case study, evaluative, comparative,

content analysis, or normative – survey. The narrative description should mention what

the research method is all about and how the variables are reflected using such research

method.

Data Gathering Tool

Present a narrative description of the data gathering instrument. The description is

focused on the kind of items in the instrument, how items are answered, and how it was

constructed. Be very clear on the basis/bases of the items of the instrument, be it a

questionnaire, observation guide, or interview schedule. The validation process has to be

explained thoroughly, whenever applicable. It is worth mentioning the instrument’s

reliability and validity coefficients and the type of validity and reliability used.

In case the data gathering instrument was not constructed, but is a ready-made

tool, like a rating scale or a psychological test, it is still necessary to mention its

reliability and validity levels and the processes undertaken by the author. Proper citation

about the author is expected.

Append a copy of the instrument in the appendix portion.
