Problems Met by Science
and Mathematics Teachers in Public High Schools in NCR for the

School Year 2005-2006 to School Year 2010-2011
Aim: to determine the problems met by science and mathematics teachers
Topic: science and mathematics teaching and learning
Place: public high school in NCR
Period: seven years
Population: students, teachers, and school administrators
NATURE AND BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Having enough background information will provide
a gist of the important and relevant
research studies upon which your research problem is based. It will then convey your
understanding of31
the research you are conducting, which will set the credibility of your overall analysis
and findings. Last,
it will assist your readers to understand the contexts in which your research problem is
related.
This part discusses the circumstances that have brought about the study. The purpose
is to
gradually bring the problem into focus. The suggested approach in writing this part is
the deductive
approach, sometimes referred to as the inverted pyramid or funnel approach
(international, national,
regional, then local situation). The discussion proceeds from general to particular so
that the last
paragraph provides the background and Calderon (1993) suggests that the background
or rationale
should contain a discussion of any, or combination, or all of the following:
1.
Historical and geographical background of the problem and the locale where it exists.
2.
Presentation of the problem.
3.
The existence of an unsatisfactory condition or a felt need that should be solved.
4.
Reason/s why it is necessary to conduct the study.
a.
A desire to have a deeper and clearer understanding of a situation, circumstance,
or phenomenon.
b.
A desire to find a better way of
doing something or of improving a situation,
product, services, etc.
c. A desire to discover something.
5.
A discussion to link the rationale to the statement of the problem.
SCOPE AND DELIMITATION OF THE STUDY
This part of your study launches the limits of the process in which your study will be
conducted.
Thus, delimitations are the characteristics that limit the scope and describe the
boundaries of the
study, such as the sample size, geographical location, or setting in which the study
takes place,
population traits, etc. additionally, the researcher might also choose to use some
research tools and
methodologies to collect data but not others. These delimitations might be imposed
for practical reasons
such as lack of time or financial resources to carry out a more thorough investigation.
The delimitation
section of the study should explain why specific choices were made while others were
excluded and how
this might affect the outcome of the research.
In the example mentioned above, the researcher might state why he/she chose to study
a sample
population of 50 students, why he/she selected students from Grades 3-5 and not
Grades 1-2, and why
he/she chose students of Calitlitan Elementary Public School over other schools.
Example:
The study has chosen test anxiety and student’s achievement as variables to be
investigated
through methods of association. One hundred participants from the different colleges
in the university
have to complete survey questions and tests
as a means of gathering the needed data. The study is
expected to be completed in a quarter.
Exercise 1: Multiple Choice. Read the questions carefully. Write the letter of the
BEST answer and on
the space provided before each number.
_________1. This part of chapter 1 includes the objectives of the study. the problem
should be stated
clearly both in general terms and in specific terms.
a. background of the study
b. statement of the problem
c.
significance of the study
d.
scope and limitation32
_________2. An intersting research problem will help:
a. Narrow the scope of research
b. Motivate the author(s)
c.
Save the time
d.
Limit the number of data collection
methods
_________3. Explains the extent to which the research area will be explored in the
work and specifies
the parameters within which the study will be operating.
a. scope
b. delimitation
c.
limitation
d.
research question
_________4. Is this a good academic research topic? "What is the role of advertising
in the world?"
a. No. It is too broad.
b. No It is too narrow
c. Yes. It is a good research topic.
d. No. It is leading.
_________5. These are the characteristics that limit the scope and describe the
boundaries of the study,
such as the sample size, geographical location, or setting in which the study takes
place.
a. limitations
b. delimitations
c. scope
d. assumption
REVISED KNOWLEDGE: Actual answer to the process question/s/ focus
question/s.
1. How to write a good review of literature, a research title, the background of
the study, and
the scope and delimitation of the study?
Many researchers struggle when it comes to writing a literature review for their
research
paper. A literature review is a comprehensive overview of all the knowledge available
on a
specific topic till date. When you decide on a research topic, usually the first step you
take in the
direction of conducting research is to learn more about the previous research
published on the
topic, and this eventually translates into a literature review when you write your
research paper.
Literature review is one of the pillars on which your research idea stands since it
provides
context, relevance, and background to the research problem you are exploring.
FINAL KNOWLEDGE: Generalization/ Synthesis/ Summary
A literature review is a critical summary of all the published works on a particular
topic.
Most research papers include a section on literature review as part of the introduction.
However,
a literature review can also be published as a standalone article. While the basics
would remain
the same for any kind of literature review, whether it is an independent piece of
writing or a part
of a larger article, this post will focus more on literature review as an article type.
Literature reviews, along with systematic reviews and meta-analyses come under the
broad category of review articles. A review article is an overview or critical
assessment of
existing literature in a field, often analyzing specific issues, identifying trends, and
pointing out
research gaps i
