Background of study
The background of the study is a part of a research provided in the introduction section of
the paper. It is a compilation of adequate information that is based on the analysis of the
problem or proposed argument, the steps and methods needed to arrive at the design, the
implementation of the results achieved, and feasible solutions.
Statement of Problems
A statement of the problem is used in research work as a claim that outlines the problem
addressed by a study. The statement of the problem briefly addresses the question: What
is the problem that the research will address? The ultimate goal of a statement of the
problem is to transform a generalized problem (something that bothers you; a perceived
lack) into a targeted, well-defined problem; one that can be resolved through focused
research and careful decision-making.
Research Question
The research question lies at the heart of every piece of academic writing .
The research question determines the sources to be quoted, how to structure
the argument, and what a paper aims at. The research question narrows down
the topic and makes sure that the paper has a common thread. Moreover, the
research question gives the reader a clear idea of what to expect from the
paper.
Research Hypothesis
A hypothesis is a statement that introduces a research question and proposes an expected
result. It is an integral part of the scientific method that forms the basis of scientific
experiments. Therefore, you need to be careful and thorough when building your
hypothesis. A minor flaw in the construction of your hypothesis could have an adverse
effect on your experiment.
Research Objectives
The research objective of a research proposal or scientific article defines the direction or
content of a research investigation. Without the research objectives, the proposal or
2
research paper is in disarray. It is like a fisherman riding on a boat without any purpose
and with no destination in sight. Therefore, at the beginning of any research venture, the
researcher must be clear about what he or she intends to do or achieve in conducting a
study.
Significant of the Study
The significance of the study implies the importance of the study for the broader area of
study, the specific question of the study, and the target group under study. In this case,
the target group is students (whether of school, college, or university) and the broad area
is the lower grades among these students.
Scope of the Study
The scope of a study explains the extent to which the research area will be explored in the
work and specifies the parameters within the study will be operating.
Limitation of the Study
The limitations of the study are those characteristics of design or methodology that
impacted or influenced the interpretation of the findings from your research. Study
limitations are the constraints placed on the ability to generalize from the results, to
further describe applications to practice, and/or related to the utility of findings that
are the result of the ways in which you initially chose to design the study or the
method used to establish internal and external validity or the result of unanticipated
challenges that emerged during the study.
Definition of Terms
One section that is often required in a dissertation is the “Definitions of Terms.” This
gives your readers an understanding of the concepts or factors that will be discussed
throughout your study, as well as contextual information as to how you will be using
those concepts in your study.
