Title/Cover Page
Contains the paper's title, the author's name,
address, phone number, e-mail, and the
day's date.

of the paper. It includes the question posed,
significance, methodology and main results
or findings.
Introduction and
Statement of the
Problem
Indicates the research problem and thesis
statement/arugument
Limitations of the
Study
Indicates what the researcher intends to do
and not to do
Appendix
This is where the researchers
attach a copy of their research
instruments such as interviews,
transcripts, questionnaires, or
surveys.
Methodology
The approaches, tools and techniques that
the researchers use to study a problem.
These include laboratory experiments, field
experiments, surveys, case studies, focus
groups, ethnographic research, action
research etc.
Literature Review
The research process uncovers what other
writers have written about your topic. It
includes a discussion or review of what is
known about the subject and how the
knowledge was acquired.
Main Body of
Paper/Argument
This is generally the longest part of the
paper. It’s where the author supports the
thesis and builds the argument. It also
contains the most important citations.
Conclusion
After spending a great deal of time and energy
introducing and arguing the points in the main body
of the paper, the conclusion brings everything
together and underscores what it all means. A
stimulating and informative conclusion leaves the
reader informed and well-satisfied. A conclusion
that makes sense, when read independently from
the rest of the paper, will win praise
Bibliography
List of cited sources or references
Data
Information collected through surveys,
interviews, or observations. Statistics are
produced from data, and data must be
processed to be of practical use.
Data Analysis
The process by which data are organized to
better understand patterns of behavior within
the target population. Data analysis is an
umbrella term that refers to many particular
forms of analysis such as content analysis,
cost-benefit analysis, network analysis, path
analysis, regression analysis, etc.
Hypothesis
A statement that predicts the relationship
between the independent (causal) and
dependent (outcome) variables.
Qualitative Research
A field of social research that is carried out in
naturalistic settings and generates data largely
through observations and interviews. Compared to
quantitative research, which is principally concerned
with making inferences from randomly selected
samples to a larger population, qualitative research
is primarily focused on describing small samples in
non-statistical ways
Questionnaire
A survey document with questions that are
used to gather information from individuals to
be used in research.
Respondent
The person who responds to a survey
questionnaire and provides information for
analysis.
Research Question
A clear statement in the form of a question of
the specific issue that a researcher wishes to
answer using data from one or more sources.
Sample
A group that is selected from a larger group
(the population). By studying the sample the
researcher tries to draw valid conclusions
about the population.
Sample Size
The number of subjects in a study. Larger
samples are preferable to smaller samples, all
else being equal.
Subject
Those who participate in research and from
whom data are collected.
Thesis Statement
After a brief introduction of your topic, you
state your point of view on the topic directly
and often in one sentence
ACTIVITY 1
Write Fact if the statement given speaks of the
