Phase
Dissemination

7. 
 refers to the series of steps which make up research
from the development of an idea to the completed
research paper
 is a multiple-step process where the steps are
interlinked with the other steps in the process.
THE RESEARCH
PROCESS

8. 

9. 
 there is no known solution to the problem
 the solution can be answered by using statistical
methods and techniques
 there are probable solutions but they are not yet
tested
 the occurrence of the phenomena requires scientific
investigation to arrive at precise solutions
A researcher knows that a problem is
really researchable when:

10. 
 Good research questions posses four essential
characteristics.
 1. The question is feasible. (it can be investigated
without an undue amount of time, energy, or
money)
 2. The question is clear.
 3. The question is significant. (worth investigating)
 4. The question is ethical. (no harm to human
beings)
Characteristics of Good Research
Questions

11. 
 S – specific
 M – measurable
 A – achievable
 R – realistic
 T – time-bound
A Good Research Problem should be
SMART:

12. 
 1. The research problem or topic must be chosen by
the researcher himself/ herself.
 2. It must be with the interest, specialization and
competence of the researcher.
 3. It must be within the ability of the researcher to
finance, otherwise he/she must able to find funding
for his research.
 4. It can be completed with a reasonable period of
time.
 5. It is researchable and manageable.
Guidelines in the Selection of a
Research Problem or Topic

13. 
 6. It is significant, important and relevant to the present
time and situation.
 7. The results are practical and implementable and
requires original, critical, and reflective thinking.
 8. It can be delimited to suit the resources of the
researcher.
 9. It must contribute to human knowledge.
 10. It must show or pave the way for the solution of the
problems.
 11. It must not undermine the moral and spiritual values.
 12. There must be a return of some kind to the
researcher.
 13. There must be consideration of the hazards involved.

14. 
 In formulating the problem statement, the following criteria
should be considered:
 1. The research problem/ objective is written in question
(problem) or declarative/ infinitive form (objective).
Example: 1. What is the profile of the respondents in terms of:
1.1 age;
1.2 sex;
1.3 religion; and
1.4 number of siblings?
2. to determine the profile of the respondents in terms of
age, gender, religion, and highest educational attainment.
Formulation of the Research Problem/
Objective

15. 
 2. The research problem identifies a specific area.
 Example: Academic Performance of Male Senior High
School in St. Mary’s College
 3. The topic is phrased in workable and manageable
terms.
 4. The scope is limited to realistic parameters that are
not narrow nor too broad.
 5. The words used are unbiased, objective and not
emotion-laden.
 6. The relationships between variables to be studied
are clearly cited.
 Example: Emotional Quotient and Performance of
Senior High School Students in Santol National High
School

16. 
 7. The phrases and words are measurable and can be
empirically proven.
 Example: What is the level of self-esteem of the
Senior High School Students in Sambag National
High School?
 8. The research problem identifies the data and
techniques needed to answer the questions.
 9. The research problem is stated in grammatical
terms.

17. 
 Guidelines in writing the title. The researchers
should be guided by the following in the formulation
of his title. These are also the characteristics of the
title.
 1. Generally, the title is formulated before the start
of the research work. It may be revised and refined
later if there is a need.
 2. The title must contain the subject matter of the
study, the locale of the study, the population
involved, and the period when the data were
gathered or will be gathered.
The Title

18. 
 3. It must be broad enough to include all aspects of the
subject matter studies or to be studied. Hence, the title
indicates what is expected to be found inside the
research report.
 4. It must be a brief and concise as possible.
 5. Avoid using the terms “An Analysis of”, “A Study
of”, “An Investigation of”, and the like. All these things
are understood to have been done or to be done when
research is conducted.
 If the title contains more that one line, it must be
written like an inverted pyramid, all words in capital
letters.

26.  refers to the overall strategy that you choose to integrate
the different components of the study in a coherent and
logical way, thereby, ensuring you will effectively
address the research problem; it constitutes the blueprint
for the collection, measurement, and analysis of data.
 defines the study type, research questions, hypotheses,
variables, and data collection methods. Some examples of
research designs include descriptive, correlational, and
experimental. Another distinction can be made between
quantitative and qualitative methods.
