SCOPE AND DELIMITATION// KAYO NGA MAY LIMITASYON EH, RESEARCH PA KAYA!

Summary

The video discusses the difference between 'limitations' and 'scope' in research studies. 'Limitations' refer to the uncontrollable factors and weaknesses in the study, while the 'scope' defines the boundaries, including the study's timeframe, location, and subjects. The video provides an example of a study on peer tutoring and its effects on the reading fluency of Grade 12 students. It emphasizes the importance of clearly outlining limitations, scope, and study parameters for comprehensive research. The speaker also gives tips on setting research boundaries effectively.

Takeaways

• 📘 Limitations help to narrow the scope of a study and should be mentioned in research.
• 📉 Limitations identify potential weaknesses and external conditions beyond the researcher's control.
• 🔬 The scope of the study refers to the extent and parameters within which the research is conducted.
• 📑 The limitation is often written in the final section of a research paper, usually in the results and discussions.
• 📚 The scope of the study also outlines geographical locations and the duration of the research.
• 🧑‍🎓 The example research title discussed is about peer tutoring and its effects on reading fluency among senior high school students.
• 🎓 The study's participants are limited to 10 grade 12 students marked as non-fluent readers.
• 👨‍🏫 The peer tutors for the study will be selected from honor students within the same class.
• 📊 The methodology section of the study will detail the scope and limitations, specifically the targeted grade levels and reading proficiency levels.
• 📝 It is important to clearly define the research's timeline, geographical setting, and participant selection criteria.

Q & A

What is the difference between 'limitation' and 'the limitation' in a research study?

'Limitation' refers to the potential weaknesses or shortcomings of the study that are beyond the researcher's control, while 'the limitation' refers to the boundaries or scope that the researcher intentionally sets for the study.

What does 'the limitation' aim to accomplish in a study?

'The limitation' aims to narrow the scope of the study, setting boundaries and defining the extent to which the research will explore a particular area.

What are some factors included in 'limitations'?

'Limitations' typically include influences, shortcomings, or conditions that the researcher cannot control, such as economic constraints, time limitations, or uncontrollable external factors.

In which section of a research paper is 'the limitation' typically mentioned?

'The limitation' is typically mentioned in the first chapter of a research paper or in the methodology section.

Where are the 'limitations' typically discussed in a research paper?

The 'limitations' are usually discussed in the final section of the research paper, specifically in the results and discussion part.

What is the 'scope of the study' in research?

The 'scope of the study' refers to the extent and parameters of the research area being explored. It explains the boundaries within which the study operates, including factors like geographical location, timeline, and subjects involved.

What are some key prompts for defining the scope of a study?

Key prompts for defining the scope of a study include mentioning the geographical location of the research, the setting, the research timeline, and the subjects or participants involved.

What is the research topic in the provided example?

The research topic in the example is 'Peer tutoring: its effects on reading fluency of senior high school students.'

Who are the primary subjects of the example research study?

The primary subjects of the research study are 10 Grade 12 students enrolled in the HUMSS section of academic senior high school in the City of Meycauayan, Bulacan.

How are the participants and peer tutors selected in the example study?

The participants are selected based on their pre-test scores, being marked as non-fluent level 1 readers. The peer tutors are honor students from the same class, serving as real-life peers to the participants.
