Chapter 1
The Problem and Review of Related Literature and Studies
Introduction
This is how the first page of your thesis will look, using a chapter name title. If you are working
on MsWord 2007, you can probably use it if you Save As (Word 2003 Document.) Start your heading
or text on the third single space down from the title. The page numbers and margins are set correctly,
as well as the correct ellipsis style . . . and the correct dash style with no spaces between the dash and
word.
The researcher should describe the existing and prevailing problem situation based on his/her
experience. This scope may be global, national, regional and local. Give strong justification for
selecting such research problem in his/her capacity as a researcher. Because being a part of the
organization or systems and the desire and concern to improve the systems. The researcher should link
and relate the background of the study to the proposed research problem.

Significance of the Study

This section describes the contributions of the study to knowledge. This could be in the form of
new knowledge in the field, a check on the major findings of other studies, a check on the validity of
findings in a different population, a check on trends over time and a check on the other findings using
different methodology.

12

It discusses the importance of the study to the society, the country, the government, the
community, the institution, the agency concerned, the curriculum planners and developers and to the
researchers.
It expounds on the studys probable impact to education, science, technology, on-going
researchers and etc.

Conceptual Framework
The conceptual framework is the schematic diagram which shows the variables included in the
study. Arrows or line should be properly placed and connected between boxes to show the relationship
between the independent and dependent variables. All the independent and dependent variables should
be clearly discussed and explained how these would influence the results of the study.

Theoretical Framework
The theoretical framework consists of theories, principles, generalizations and research findings
which are closely related to the present study under investigation. It is in this framework where the
present research problem understudy evolved. Authors of these theories and principles should be cited.
As much as possible research
findings and theories should be correct

Statement of the Problem

There should be an introductory statement which reflects the main problem of the study. Subproblem should be stated in such a way that it is not answerable by either yes, no, when and where.

13
13131313
Sub-problems should include all the independent and moderate variables which are reflected in the
conceptual framework. Subproblems should be arranged in logical order and extensive in coverage
and must be mutually exclusive in its dimensions.

Definition of Terms
The terms which connote different meaning from the conceptual or dictionary definitions
should be operationally defined to facilitate the full understanding of the text by the readers. The terms
to be operationally defined are those used throughout the study and may be a word or a phrase, usually
taken from the title, the statement of the problem or hypothesis. The terms should be arranged in
alphabetical order and the definitions should be stated in complete sentences.

Scope and Limitation

This section explains the nature, coverage, and time frame of the study. It presents in brief the
subject area of investigation, the place, the time period, or school year covered.
It discusses the variables included in the study and the exclusion of other variables which are expected
to be included. It indicates the extent of capability of results arising from the sampling population

Chapter 2
Review of Literature and Studies

Follow this indention for this section. This format shows the indention of primary, secondary
and tertiary headings. Omit the title Review of Literature and Studies and replace it with your primary
heading.

14
14141414
This is a Secondary Heading or a Sub-Heading
A secondary heading is a subsection of a primary heading. All headings should be worded in the
Table of Contents (TOC) exactly the same as in the text. The text starts in the line below the secondary
heading, one double space, and is indented. Note that none of the headings is in bold type. (Bold type
is neither required nor preferred by the Research Office for your thesis.)
This is a Tertiary Heading. This heading is a subsection of a secondary heading. Both
Secondary and Tertiary subheadings relate generally to the Primary Heading, but the Tertiary Heading
does not need to be included in the TOC.
Related literature includes research findings, published or unpublished theories and principles
formulated by experts or authorities in some field or discipline; and ideas or opinions of experts
contained in books, pamphlets magazines and periodicals. It should be written in terms of the purpose
of the study. It should give more weight to studies considered more authoritative as evaluated and
should give reference to primary rather than secondary sources. It should be organized thematically to
conform with the specific problems. It should be synthesized such that evidence from all the studies
reviewed would get an overall understanding of the state of knowledge in the problem area.

Word tables include the same elements of format as do other types

of tables-table number and title headings. Keep column entries
brief and simple. DOUBLE SPACE ALL PARTS OF A WORD
TABLE.

Tables, figures, and other images cited within your thesis should appear within your thesis (not
as part of the appendix) directly after your initial reference to them. This requirement is in keeping with
the standards of most published journal articles and style guides, many of which also provide
instructions on the proper formatting for table/figure titles and captions. Typically, table titles appear
above the table, while figure titles appear below the figure. Additional descriptive captions may appear
beneath the table or figure.
Noticeable gaps or blank spaces between texts should be avoided. If you place tables, figures, or
images on a separate page, make sure that they are within the margins and that the tables, figures, or images
on subsequent pages follow the same alignment. We do not recommend that you break in mid-sentence in
order to place a figure/table/image within the text. While images should be embedded within your thesis,
complete your sentence or idea first.
