23 I. STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
24 Clearly present the research problem specifying what it truly is.
25 wants to investigate, describe in detail the problem from the global, national context
26 my local taking into account the variables and categories that imply possibilities of
27 empirical verification to identify the problem. In addition, the topic must be formulated.
28 through a direct general question from which other questions can be derived
29 specific that cover the different aspects that the problem encompasses, the same
30 that must have a direct relationship with the objectives and hypotheses.

33
34 II. BACKGROUND
35 The results or progress of previous studies concerning the problem are presented and
36 assess the level of knowledge about the problem, how much progress has been made
37 in their knowledge and what needs to be studied. This area should include the
38 background of the research carried out at the global, national, and local levels, there
39 it is recommended to consider at least 10 authors.

43III. JUSTIFICATION
44 It is the support with convincing arguments the motivation and the importance of the
45 carrying out the research, that is to say, indicating why and for what purpose it will be carried out. This
46 means to know the causes, reasons, circumstances, and purposes that motivate the
47 investigation at the level of results.

51IV. THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
52 Elaborate the fundamental exposition of the scientific theory that will serve as support and
53 preliminary explanation of the research problem. The theoretical framework must
54 develop based on three levels of information: a) The handling of theories or elements
55 existing theories about the problem. b) Analyze the primary empirical information
56 Regarding the problem under study, the author's position must be considered. Furthermore
57 the concepts involved in the research must be considered and 15 should be taken into account
58 authors.

62V. OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY
63 It refers to the purpose of research, that is, the aim and the objective of the investigation.
64 can be presented at two levels: general objectives and specific objectives.
65
66 It is recommended that the objectives should be clear and express the achievements that truly
67 it is expected to be achieved. It is framed in operational terms and for this purpose, its initiation begins
68 formulation with an infinitive verb that expresses the action to be performed (to diagnose,
69 characterize, describe, experience, know, demonstrate, etc.), according to the
70 next condition: verb, problem, unit, space and time (optional)
71
72
73
74VI. HYPOTHESIS
75 They are likely solutions, previously selected, to the posed problem, that the
76 the researcher proposes to see, through the research process, if they are
77 confirmed by the facts. In other words, they are tentative responses to the
78 questions formulated in the problem statement. The hypotheses can be
79 present at two levels: at a general level and specific hypotheses. The hypotheses must
80 to be operationalized, it is necessary to present the study variables and their
81 corresponding indicators that allow measuring them.
82
83 Hypotheses will be mandatory only in cases of quantitative research.
84 In cases of research with a qualitative approach, objectives will be worked on.

88VII. USEFULNESS OF THE STUDY RESULTS
89 Specify the application of the research or the importance of the contribution of the results to
90 academic-scientific event.

93
94VIII. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
95 The following aspects must be determined: levels, axes, and dimensions of analysis.
96 the units of analysis and observations, the type of research, population and sample
97 based on a selection technique, processing technique, and analysis
98 of data (use of descriptive or inferential statistics) according to the characteristic of
99 investigation.
100
101 In qualitative studies, concepts, categories, and dimensions that can be used will be
102 vary according to the nature of the research topic. (Case studies, stories
103 of life, systematization of experiences...)
