 What Is It?

PARTS OF A RESEARCH PAPER

CHAPTER I: THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND

Background of the Study – includes purpose and reason behind the

conduct of the study. (What made you conduct the study?) Also serves as the
introduction.
Statement of the Problem – the main problem that the research is trying to
solve. It follows the formulation of the title and should be faithful to it. It
specifically points the important questions that the study needs to answer. It
also serves as the bases of the questionnaire.
Scope and Limitations of the Study – determines the coverage of the study
and all the things that it will not cover to be specific.
Definition of Terms – defines technical terms based on how they are used
in the study, specifically in the title. This aims to provide the readers or future
research with the basic terminologies that are important to understand the
paper.

CHAPTER II: REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

This is your own work and therefore should not directly lift words from
other sources. This will require your command of language and writing skills
such as summarizing, paraphrasing, and writing indirect speeches.
▪ Step 1 – Organize your note cards on how you would want them to
appear in the chapter.
▪ Step 2 – Begin writing the chapter while including the surnames of
authors who provided sources for your study and the publication
date of their work in parentheses.
▪ Step 3 – Edit. Rewrite.

9
CHAPTER III: METHODS AND PROCEDURES
Method of Research – The kind of research used by your study. This answers
why the method used is appropriate for the study.
Subjects of the Study – describes your respondents: who they are, what their
profile is, where they are from, etc.
Description of Research Instrument – describes your instrument which is
the questionnaire.

Statistical Treatment Applied - The statistical treatment that you will use
which includes your sampling method and formulas to come up.

CHAPTER IV: PRESENTATION, ANALYSIS, AND INTERPRETATION OF

DATA

Results of the Study – Presents all the data gathered using the questionnaire
by tabulating all the gathered information. Aside from the tables, an
interpretation of each presented data should follow. These will serve as the
bases of your Summary of Findings.

CHAPTER V: SUMMARY, CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Summary of Findings – summarizes the interpretation of data given in

Chapter IV. These should directly answer your statement of the problem.
Conclusions – Out of your findings, your conclusions are based. This
provides the answers for every statement of the problem. This is where you
will prove your hypotheses and assumptions.
Recommendations – should be directly based on the significance of the
study. This also includes the recommended actions that should be done after
the conduct of the study such as further assessment of the subject, focus on
other factors, etc.
