Writing the Background of the Study
Statement of the Problem
: ̗̀➛ statement of the problem
WHAT IS THE STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM?
Important in justifying your research purpose. It could be GENERAL, meaning sentence as opening for the SOP or SPECIFIC, meaning it is researchable.
: ̗̀➛ background of the study
CHAPTER I: Problem + Background - determining your issue.
CHAPTER II: Review of Related Literature - looking for similar studies and researches.
CHAPTER III: Method and Procedures - methods you will use. Can be qualitative, quantitative, and etcetera.
CHAPTER IV: Presentation, Analysis, and Interpretation of Data
CHAPTER V: Summary, Conclusions, and Recommendations
𝐖𝐑𝐈𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐏𝐓𝐄𝐑 𝐎𝐍𝐄
Understand the nature of the background of the study. Know exactly what to include in it. Don't be general. Have a clear direction of the writing process. Once you understand what you're going to present, you will understand the nature of it.
What kind of issues are included? Always specify and make sure you know where to focus on. Give details about your problem and don't just point out the obvious and deduct what is visible.
PARAGRAPH ONE - Must provide the readers a mental-warm up. Show them what your topic is about and justify it.
PARAGRAPH TWO - Carries the bulk of the introduction. Statement of the problem can best be used a frame of reference to write this paragraph.
PARAGRAPH THREE - Kind of like a conclusion. It challenges the readers to become interested in knowing the results of the study. It is one or two sentences to link between the introduction and the statement of the problem.

Background
Discusses the topic in depth.
Provides context to the information discussed throughout the research paper.
Introduction
Only gives an overview.
Contains preliminary data about your topic.
𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐈𝐒 𝐁𝐀𝐂𝐊𝐆𝐑𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐃 𝐎𝐅 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐒𝐓𝐔𝐃𝐘?
Must include a review of the area being researched, current information surrounding the issue, previous studies on the issue, and relevant history on the issue. Don't just consider the present issues but also the previous occurrences as per the problem you are doing research on.
It describes the justification for its selection. A connection among the contemporary situations or circumstances from local to international must be established.
𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐍𝐄𝐂𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 𝐎𝐅 𝐍𝐄𝐄𝐃 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐑𝐄𝐋𝐄𝐕𝐀𝐍𝐂𝐄
International - cited some need and relevance of the topic from international community.
National - cited need and relevance of the situation from the country Philippines.
Local - cited need and relevance from the community where you will have your research.

What is Research?
Came from the French word ‘cerchier’ meaning ‘to seek or to search.’ Implies repeating a search, assuming that the previous search wasn’t complete and still has scope for improvement.
An attempt to solve or gain a solution to a problem. Or, according to Kerlinger, a systematic, controlled, empirical, and critical investigation of hypothetical propositions about the presumed relations among natural phenomenon.
It is an honest, scientific investigation undertaken for the purpose of discovering new facts or establishing new relationships among facts already known which will contribute to the present body of knowledge and can lead to an effective solution of existing problems.

1. Data Collection - Observing, and recording information.
2. Data Analysis - Arranging and organizing the collected data in order to generalize and determine the significance.
3. Report Writing - Inseparable part and a final outcome of a research study. Used to convey information to the audience.
𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐒 𝐎𝐅 𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐂𝐇
Originates with a question or problem.
Requires a clear articulation of a goal.
Follows a specific plan of procedure.
Usually divides the principal problem into more manageable sub-problems.
Guided by the specific research problem, question, or hypothesis.
Accepts certain critical assumptions.
Requires the collection and interpretation of data in attempting to resolve the problem that initiated the research.
Is, by its nature, cyclical; or more exactly, helical.

𝐎𝐁𝐉𝐄𝐂𝐓𝐈𝐕𝐄𝐒 𝐎𝐅 𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐂𝐇
Add what is known about the phenomenon through the application of scientific methods.
Exploration - finding out about some previously unexamined phenomenon. Useful when researchers lack a clear idea of the problems they will meet. Here, researchers develop concepts more clearly, establish priorities, develop operational definitions, formulate research hypotheses, and improve the final research design.
Description - Data based information-gathering activities. Answers the questions ‘who, what, when, where, and sometimes how.’
Causal Exploration - Goes beyond description and attempts to establish cause and effect relationships behind variables.
Prediction - Provide plausible explanation for the vent in question.
Provide solutions to complex problems
Investigate laws of nature
Make new discoveries
Develop new products
Save costs
Improve our life
