Keywords

💡Chapter 1

Chapter 1 refers to the first section of a research paper, which the speaker is explaining in the video. It includes key components such as the Introduction, Significance of the Study, and Theoretical Framework, among others. The speaker emphasizes that this chapter provides the background of the research problem and lays the foundation for the entire study.

💡Significance of the Study

The 'Significance of the Study' outlines who will benefit from the research and how. In the video, the speaker suggests listing the beneficiaries (e.g., students, faculty, school administrators) in bullet points, and explaining how the study will impact them. This section emphasizes the practical value of the research.

💡Theoretical/Conceptual Framework

The Theoretical/Conceptual Framework provides the theories or concepts that support the research. The speaker refers to the SEC approach (State, Explain, and Conceptualize the Theory), which guides researchers in building a strong theoretical foundation for their work. This section connects theory to the research questions and methodology.

💡Statement of the Problem

The Statement of the Problem defines the main research issue and is divided into two parts: General and Specific. According to the speaker, the first part addresses broad research goals, while the second part focuses on more detailed, specific questions regarding Independent Variables (IV) and Dependent Variables (DV). This section is crucial in defining the focus of the study.

💡Hypotheses

Hypotheses are educated guesses or predictions that the research will test. While the speaker does not go into detail about this part in the video, they mention that it will be discussed in a future video. The hypotheses are often derived from the research questions and aim to establish relationships between variables.

💡Independent Variable (IV)

The Independent Variable (IV) is the factor that is manipulated or measured to observe its effect on another variable. In the video, the speaker emphasizes the importance of including questions about the IV in the Statement of the Problem. An example given is 'empowerment' in a study about its relationship to job commitment.

💡Dependent Variable (DV)

The Dependent Variable (DV) is the factor being studied, which changes in response to the Independent Variable (IV). The speaker advises researchers to ensure their questionnaires measure the DV effectively. In the example provided, 'job commitment' is the DV being examined in relation to 'empowerment.'

💡Operational Definition

Operational Definition explains how a term is specifically used in the context of the study. The speaker explains that in this section, terms such as 'empowerment' or 'job commitment' are defined based on how they are applied in the research. This type of definition ensures that readers understand exactly what the researcher means by key terms.

💡Scope and Delimitation

Scope and Delimitation defines the boundaries of the research, including who the respondents are, the location, and the time frame of the study. The speaker stresses that this section should be specific and answer questions like 'Who, Where, and When.' It ensures that the reader understands the focus and limits of the study.

💡LCUP pattern

The LCUP pattern refers to a research methodology taught by Dr. Nuqui and used by the speaker's university (La Consolacion University Philippines). The pattern is used to structure various parts of a research paper. The speaker uses this pattern to guide the audience through the essential parts of Chapter 1.

Highlights

The discussion focuses on how to write a Research paper, specifically Chapter 1, 'The Problem and Its Background.'

The Chapter 1 structure includes seven parts: Introduction, Significance of the Study, Theoretical/Conceptual Framework, Statement of the Problem, Hypotheses, Definition of Terms, and Scope and Delimitation.

Introduction requires following the TIOC pattern: Trends, Issues, Objectives, and Contributions.

The Significance of the Study section outlines who will benefit from the research, such as administrators, students, and faculty.

In the Theoretical/Conceptual Framework, the SEC approach is used: State the Theory, Explain the Theory, and Conceptualize the Theory.

Statement of the Problem is divided into two parts: General and Specific problems.

When writing the Statement of the Problem, questions should be formed around the Independent Variable (IV), Dependent Variable (DV), and the relationship between them.

The third question in the Statement of the Problem should combine IV and DV to determine their relationship.

The Hypotheses will be discussed in a separate video.

Definition of Terms has two types: Operational Definition and Conceptual Definition. The focus should be on IV and DV.

In Scope and Delimitation, discuss who the respondents are, what the study focuses on, and the relationship between the IV and DV.

The Scope and Delimitation section answers 'Who, Where, and When' about the study.

The LCUP research pattern is emphasized, with guidelines from Dr. Nuqui.

Repetition of certain parts of the study is necessary, as information from the Introduction can be reused in other sections.

The aim is to keep the process simple and clear, especially in forming questions and defining terms.

Transcripts

Magandang araw sa inyong lahat! Again, ang is about Research.

Ang dinidiscuss natin ay kung papaano gumawa ng Research.

Ngayon naman ang topic natin ay buong Chapter 1.

Noong mga nakaraan, if you are able to observe, ang ginagawa lang natin ay kumukuha tayo piece by piece

parang puzzle sya. Hangang sa mabuo natin yung mga Thesis natin.

Yung Chapter 1 natin, which is our topic today. Ang title nito ay, "The Problem and Its background."

Again before ko ituloy ito, sana makapag SUBSCRIBE kayo, at mai-LIKE din ninyo yung mga videos natin.

Doon sa Chapter 1 natin, yung mga maiiksi lang na pwedeng idiscuss, ididiscuss ko.

Pero yung medyo mahaba o kaya na discuss ko na sa ibang videos

doon niyo nalang siya panoorin

Yun namang hindi ko pa nadidiscuss dahil mahaba, hintayin nalang natin yung ibang videos na lalabas din sila

para maiksi lang yung mga videos natin.

There are seven parts na dapat makita doon sa Chapter 1 natin. I am using again the LCUP pattern

ng paggawa ng Research. I know there are some universities na meron din sila

pwede niyong gamitin yun. But I am speaking about, dahil doon ako naggraduate, sa LCUP

Galing ito kay Dr. Nuqui, yung ating pattern ng Research natin.

Yung seven parts eto na yun. Introduction, Significance of the Study, Theoretical/Conceptual Framework,

Statement of the Problem, Hypotheses, Definition of Terms, and Scope and Delimitation of the Study.

Puntahan na natin yung number 1, yung Introduction. Yung Introduction pinaliwanag ko na ito

doon sa isang video natin. Ang Introduction ay kailangan may TIOC

Trends, Issues, Objectives, and Contributions

Hindi ko na ididiscuss yun ng mas malalim. Tignan niyo na lang yung isang video natin.

Next is yung Significance of the Study. I will discuss this to you. Ano bang yung Significance of the Study natin?

Kung naalala ninyo, meron tayong Contributions sa Introduction

Ang gagawin natin, kukunin natin yun tapos ilalagay natin in bullet form, in bullet point,

tapos mas ipapaliwanag natin ng kaunti pa. Dagdagan pa natin ng explanation

Sino ang mga magbebenefit ng study. Halimbawa sa school ninyo ginamit yung study ninyo

Siyempre sino ang mga magbebenefit nito? Ang school administrator, estudyante, faculty and staff, and the like

Who will benefit? Significance of the Study discusses, who will benefit the study.

Halimbawa sa isang company, maaari din yung, may-ari, customers, so depende

kung sino ang magbebenefit. Yun isulat ninyo. So, yung iba rito nandodoon na sa Contributions sa Introduction

kunin niyo pagkatapos ay ilagay niyo na. Maraming pagkakataon mapapansin niyo

Kung magiging observant lang kayo. Paulit ulit yung ibang information. Kunukuha natin

ilalagay lang ulit natin, kapag kinakailangan siya sa isang sitwasyon/part.

Pangalawa, Theoretical/Conceptual Framework. Itong Theoretica/Conceptual Framework

Mayroon din akong discussion sa isang video. Kasi medyo masalimuot ng konti

kailangan ko siyang ipaliwanag kung papaano gumawa nito.

Pero sa Theoretical/Conceptual Framework meron tayong ginagamit na standard

and that is yung approach natin. Kung may TIOC approach or pattern ang Introduction

sa Theoretical naman mayroon SEC Approach

Eto yung sinasabi ni Doc Nuqui: State the Theory, Explain the Theory, and Conceptualize the Theory.

Tignan niyo nalang yung isang video natin. Let's move on to the next part.

Yung Stament of the Problem. Yung iba nalilito gumawa ng Statement of the Problem

Pagdating sa Statement of the Problem natin mayroong General at mayroong Specific

There are two parts of the Statement of the Problem. Number one is the General.

Gayahin niyo nalang yung pattern ng mga nasa dati ng Research. Hindi naman bawal yun, ginagaya talaga yun.

Yun naman ang pattern talaga. Pagkatapos sa Specific. Dahil itatawid lang natin yung thesis mo,

hindi natin kailangan maging experto, so kailangan lang nating maiayos yung simple, ang itinuturo natin sa inyo.

Yung basic nga nahihirapan ka, pupunta paba tayo sa mahihirap.

Paano gumawa ng mga questions sa Statement of the Problem natin.

Basically, eto yung tinuro ni Doc Nuqui, yung number one, kailangan yung question patungkol sa IV (Independent Variable)

Kailangan masukat mo yung IV. Titignan mo yung Questionnaire mo

Kailangan masusukat mo yung Independent Variable. Next question ay patungkol sa DV (Dependent Variable)

First question is IV, second question is DV. Gagawin nating simple.

Number three, combination ng IV and DV

Halimbawa, What is the relationship of empowerment to job commitment?

Qestion 3: Is there significant relationship between teacher empowerment and job commitment?

Kung kinakailangan na mayroong pang apat, hindi sa lahat ng pagkakataon,

minsan naman pwede na yung tatlo, kung sinuggest ng adviser mo,

yung pang apat anong implication nito. (Ex. What business implications can be drawn from the study?)

Yung lang ang gagawin natin. It is plain and simple, huwag nating pahirapan.

kasi itatawid lang natin. So yung basic, yun ang gagawin natin.

Next part is Hypotheses. I am going to discuss that sa ibang video natin

Number 6, Definition of Terms. Ipapaliwanag ko sa inyo.

Mayroon dalawang klaseng Definition, yung una is Operational Definition

Kapag sinabing Operational Definition - how term is used in the study?

Usually, eto yung ginagamit natin. Kung paano mo ginamit ang word na yan sa study mo.

Yung IV mo sa study mo, yung DV mo sa study mo.

Meron namang tinatawag na Conceptual Definition

Gumagamit ka ng dictionary, resources para mapaliwanag mo ang term mo.

Lalo na kung yung term mo ay dati ng ginamit ng mga experts.

siguro, kinakailangan natin gamitin lalo yung definitions nila, kung iyon ay benchmark ng study mo.

Ang rule natin, sa pag gawa ng definition

Use only terminologies na nandoon sa IV and DV

Huwag ka ng humanap ng madaming words

Ang kunin mo lang sa definition of terms ay yung IV mo, halimbawa "Job Commitment"

IV mo halimbawa "Empowerment" and DV "Job Commitment" OK na yung dalawa

Sa rule ng LCUP, kung ano yung IV and DV yun lang yung gagamitin

Finally, Scope and Delimitation of the Study.

This discusses the main subject of the study. Sino ba ang respondents mo?

Sino ba ang sasagot sa questionnaires mo? Sino ba ang pagaaralan mo?

Teachers ba, sinong teachers? Students ba, sinong students? Anong grade ba sila.

Kailangan specific at maliwanag.

Also, in your scope and delimitation, you also have to discuss your IV and DV

Para malalaman ng mga taga basa mo na ang topic mo lang ay yung Relationship lang ng Empowerment and Job Commitment.

Inaalam mo lang yung relationship ng dalawa.

Kailangan masagot sa Scope and Delimitation yung Who, Where, and When.

So yun ang pito na kailangan mayroon tayo sa ating Chapter 1

1. Introducction, 2. Significance of the Study, 3. Theoretical/Conceptual Framework,

4. Statement of the Problem, 5. Hypotheses, 6. Definition of Terms and 6. Scope and Delimitation.
