INTRODUCTION
DEFINITION
SIGNIFICANCE OF A research paper introduction is an essential part of academic
THE STUDY writing that explains the paper’s main topic and prepares the
reader for the rest of the paper. After reading the introduction,
the reader should know what the paper is about, what point it’s
THEORETICAL/
trying to make, and why it matters.
CONCEPTUAL
FRAMEWORK The role of the research paper introduction is to make sure the

INTRODUCTION
A theory presents an explanation to understand a phenomena while a
SIGNIFICANCE OF concept is a general and abstract idea.
THE STUDY There are theories that also presents concepts.
A framework is a guide and the foundation of a study.
Theories and concept usually presents variables and their relationship to
THEORETICAL/ each other.
CONCEPTUAL The flow and relationship of these variables will be adapted in the study,
FRAMEWRORK thus serves a s a guide in conducting a research.
If a theory was chosen as abasis for the study, this will be referred to as a
theoretical framework, while on the other hand if a concept is used in the
STATEMENT OF THE study this will be referred to as a conceptual framework.
PROBLEM Present the title of the theory or concept, the author, and the idea behind it.
Discuss the relevance of these study being conducted.

A research hypothesis is a statement of expectation or prediction that will be
tested by research. Before formulating your research hypothesis, read about
the topic of interest to you. From your reading, which may include articles,
SIGNIFICANCE OF
books and/or cases, you should gain sufficient information about your topic
THE STUDY that will enable you to narrow or limit it and express it as a research question.
The research question flows from the topic that you are considering. The
research question, when stated as one sentence, is your Research Hypothesis.

TERMS
Scope and limitations are two terms that address the details of a
research project. The term scope refers to the problem or issue
that the researcher wants to study with the project. Limitations is
the term used for constraints that impact the researcher's ability
SCOPE AND to effectively study the scope of the project.
DELIMITATION
May be written in two paragraphs. One paragraph for the
