Chapter 1 Background

Introduction

(this should contain the explanation as to the conceptualization of the idea

for the project, the company setting and background if applicable and the

relevant benefits of the project proposed)

Project Context and It’s Background

(this should contain information as to the Background of the company if

applicable and the relevant issues and conditions that are prevalent which

necessitates the proposal of the system/ project. This may include concepts to be

used and applied to the project may include theoretical and or conceptual

frameworks to be used for the project.)

Project Purpose and Description

The Purpose and Description as part of the outline for Methods of

Research Project defines the features and capabilities should be written in such a

way that it would highlight the significance of the project. Furthermore, it should

be written using a general language and non-technical terms.

 8

Objectives of the Study

Start with the general objective of the research. The general objective

should provide the answer to the problem just stated above. In a way, the

general objective is a restatement of the title of the research.

The specific objectives follow, using a colon at the end:

a. The specific objectives must be measurable;

b. They should have a one-to-one correspondence to the conclusions you

will make in Chapter 5.

Scope and Limitations/Delimitations of the Project

Scope. The scope of the study explains the extent to which the research

area will be explored with regards to the proposed title. Meaning giving its

parameters, features and functionalities are the main discussion at this section.

Limitation/Delimitation. The researcher must distinguish whether your

research will use limitation or delimitation. Limitation are those conditions

beyond the control of the researcher that may place restrictions on the conclusion

of the study and their application to other situation, while Delimitation are the

boundaries beyond which the study is not concerned.

 9

Theoretical Framework or Conceptual Framework of the Study

Theoretical framework is a symbolic construction which uses abstract

concept, facts or laws, variables and their relations that explains and predicts

how an observed phenomenon exists and operates. The researcher is required to

formulate exiting theories which link his study because theories are useful device

for interpreting, criticizing, and unifying established scientific laws or facts that

guide in discovering new generalizations.

Definition of Terms

(define operational terms used in the study)

Chapter 2 Review of Related Literature, Studies and Systems

Related Literature

Local Literature

Foreign Literature

Related Studies

Local Studies

Foreign Studies

For the review of related literature, make sure to touch on the most

important aspects of your study. Use a topical outline. In your style of

discussion, be sure to adopt a storyline. Do not forget to cite all statements of

facts, main ideas/trends, equations, findings, etc. Use APA format for the

citation. As much as possible, use most recent journal articles. Use books

sparingly. And no Wikipedia, please!

For tables, use the following format:

Chapter 3 Design and Methodology

Methodology

A research methodology outlines what research is, how it is conducted,

how progress is measured, and what constitutes success.

Requirement Analysis

The proponents must first determine the information requirements with

regard to the specific organization under study. At this phase, the proponents or

researchers needs to know the details of the current system function: WHO (the

people who are involved, WHAT (business activities), WHERE (the environment

in which the work takes), WHEN (the timing), and HOW (how the current

procedures are performed) of the business or organization under study. The

proponent must know and analyze why the business uses the current system.

There may be good reasons why the organization is using the current methods,

and these should be considered when designing the proposed system.

 13

Sampling Technique

The term sampling refers to the method of choosing subjects in a particular

study. A sample is selected from a group which is called a population. The

sample and its population determine which generalizations may be made from

the findings.

Current Technical Situation

The programmer, system analyst or software engineer, no matter how

brilliant they are, they cannot design the software which will serve as computing

solutions addressing the needs of a particular organization unless they

familiarized themselves how such organization perform their business.

Requirement Documentation

Under this section, all software features are enumerated in detail or for the

proposed system or software what it does. Therefore, the requirement

documentation does not include database schemas, normalization of tables,

system architecture, description of communication layers, in short, no statement

of design in any sort. It only answers to the question “HOW the software will

do” or statement of design shall be addressed.

 14

Project In – Scope

Project Out – Scope

Design of Software, Systems, Product and/or Processes

The focus on this section is to give the technical aspect of the software to

be developed in a way that demonstrate comprehension of the tradeoffs involved

in design choices. For design of software, systems, product and/or processes

should be given on how the requirements analysis and documentation have been

complied with especially those possible tradeoffs presented within the given

requirements under various constraints. This can be presented either conceptual

design, data models, system architecture or block diagrams will show that the

students have an idea on how to identify, formulate and solve computing

problems.

Figure should be centered. The List of Figures must be

aromatically generated.

 15

Development and Testing

This section should be discussed in synopsis because the detailed

discussion of its actual application. In designing, developing and evaluating the

proposed system or software, the authors must standardize the development of

the study. It is recommended the use of ISO 25010 to test the quality of the

system.

Data Analysis Plan

After gathering data, the statistical tools that will be used in the analysis of

data are the weighted arithmetic mean, standard deviation, analysis of variance,

and the person product-moment coefficient of correlation. The weighted

arithmetic mean will be used to determine the average responses for item of the

five (5) options in each item in the questionnaire namely, 5 (Strongly Agree /

Very Good / Very Willing / Very High), 4 (Agree / Good / Willing / High), 3

(Undecided / Fair), 2 (Disagree / Hesitant / Low / Poor), and 1 (Strongly

Disagree / Very Hesitant / Very Low / Very Poor). The Likert scale can be

generated by means of the respondents’ replication on the survey.

 16

Implementation Plan

The implementation plan describes how the information system will be

deployed, installed and transitioned into an operational system. The plan

contains an overview of the system, a brief description of the major tasks

involved in the implementation, the overall resources needed to support the

implementation effort (such as hardware, software, facilities, materials and

personnel), and any site-specific implementation requirement.

Chapter 4 Results and Discussion

This section presents the comprehensive discussion on the

developed/used algorithm.

Discusses the interpretation or findings of the study from the data

collected.
 19

Chapter 5 Summary, Conclusions, and Recommendations

Summary of Findings

Provide a rather concise summary of the research work.

Conclusions

The conclusions are direct statements that would prove the achievement of

the specific objectives. The conclusions should have one-to-one correspondence

to the specific objectives, i.e. if you have 4 specific objectives (a to d) then you

should have 4 conclusions (1 to 4).
