3i/RESEARCH THE SCOPE AND DELIMITATION CHAP 1

2 Types of DEFINITION OF TERMS

1. Defined conceptually 2. Defined Operationally

KINDS OF HYPOTHESIS

1. Simple Hypothesis 2. Complex Hypothesis 3. Directional Hypothesis 4. Null Hypothesis

Defined terms must be arranged alphabetically.

Defined Operationally

the definition of term is based on how it is used in the study.

Defined Operationally

a term is defined using books.

Defined conceptually

It pertains to the boundaries of the study with respect to the major variables and is further clarified by sub-variables.

Delimitation

To clarify the level of behavior of the freshman students, there is a need to define its?

Delimitation

it specifies not only the existence but also the expected direction of the relationship between the independent and dependent variables

Directional hypothesis

It is a tentative prediction about the relationship between two or more variables in a population under the study.

Hypothesis

it is also considered an intelligent or educated guess that occurs with at least 2 variables.

Hypothesis

It is used when the research attempts to isolate the factor or major variable that causes problem, subject or phenomenon under investigation.

IPO MODEL (Input-Process-Output)

This model is used when the SOP are all factor-isolating questions.

IPO MODEL (Input-Process-Output)

What are the 2 variable in Hypothesis

Independent and Dependent

They are concepts or ideas the researcher has gathered from "reading various literatures" regarding the major variables and sub-variables.

Indicators

It is subject to testing in which a decision is either to accept or reject it.

Null Hypothesis

formulated for the purpose of statistical analysis. It is always express as a negative statement.

Null Hypothesis

THEORITICAL BACKGROUND must be provided a

Relevant theories

Identifying the beneficiaries and the benefits it will give when the problem is solved.

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

The benefits must be specific and arranged according to the degree of significance.

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

The sequence of the beneficiaries of the research starts from the most benefited to the least benefited.

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

it is essential to defined the major variables of the study which are contained in the title of the research and in the general statement of the problem.

Scope and Delimitation

predicting a relationship between an independent variable and dependent variable.

Simple hypothesis

It is only after the experimentation that the researchers can finally assess if his/her guess is correct or not.

THE HYPOTHESIS OF THE STUDY

When the result of the experiment is the same as the hypothesis, then the hypothesis is accepted.

THE HYPOTHESIS OF THE STUDY

When the result of the study is the exact opposite of the hypothesis, then the hypothesis is rejected.

THE HYPOTHESIS OF THE STUDY

Cites and discusses related theories that serve as the foundation of the variables and their relationships to make the study more scientific and understandable especially to the readers.

THEORITICAL BACKGROUND

Formulated from an existing theory/theories serves as the foundation of the study.

THEORITICAL BACKGROUND

In such case the paradigm that is originally used by the theorist can be fully adopted in the present study.

THEORITICAL BACKGROUND

Mentions the theories, the name of authors, title of their theories, theoretical principles and their explanations.

THEORITICAL BACKGROUND

It may use shapes such as rectangles, circles, and squares or lines and arrows.

THEORITICAL FRAMEWORK OR PARADIGM OF THE STUDY

a diagrammatic presentation of the study.

THEORITICAL FRAMEWORK OR PARADIGM OF THE STUDY

It is any factor or property that a researcher measures, control and /or manipulates.

Variable

Example of concept

age, degrees, weight, height etc.

It is determined by the major variables of the study while sub-variables and their characteristics, attributes, or indicators serve as the delimitation.

scope of the study

predicting a relationship between two or more independent variables or two or more dependent variables.

Complex hypothesis

It is a generally accepted collection of characteristics that can be defined by a dictionary and commonly used by an educator.

Concept

It is a new characteristic that results from the conduct of research and usually combines two concepts.

Construct

Its meaning or definition can be gleaned in the context and is usually not found in dictionaries.
