Transcripts
hello everyone and welcome back this is
docket padama and happy 100
000 subscribers to our YouTube channel I
would like to thank everyone who
supported and followed my videos all
throughout these years thank you very
much and again before we start our
discussion for this particular topic I
would like to ask again for your support
to please subscribe to my YouTube
channel by clicking that subscribe
button and click that notification Bell
to alert you when a new video has been
uploaded just like this one and if you
have already subscribed please uh like
and click the thumbs up button for this
particular video so our topic for today
is how to write
the rational of the study how to
properly write the rationale of the
study so we are going to discuss some of
the requirements that you need to be
reminded of when you write this
particular part of your study so again
these are reminders that you need to
consider incorporate in your writing of
the rational of the study is this
important yes the mere fact that this is
included in your research
tells you or tells every research writer
that this is a very significant part of
your research to the part that you would
not be allowed to continue or to pursue
your proposed research title if you
cannot give enough evidence that there
is a need to conduct this study so we
are going to discuss all of that in our
video for today the first one let's
start with the proper pronunciation of
the word
that we are discussing for today so
according to our online dictionary or
reference this is pronounced as Russia
null rational rational okay because
during
uh defense
um there are students who pronounce this
as rationale okay so in in our case
um if it is accepted in their particular
area or Community then that is fine but
again for the purpose of uh presenting
the proper pronunciation of this
particular word it is pronounced as
rational rational okay silent E so
that's the first one the second one the
rational of the study is the last or
located at the last paragraph of the
background of the study the background
of the study is the first part of
chapter one
chapter 1 is entitled the problem and
its background the title of chapter one
is the problem and its background so the
first part that you're going to see in
chapter one is the background of the
study which discusses the problem or the
issue that you are investigating so the
background of the study contains a
discussion of the problem
or the issue that is being investigated
okay now this is supposed to be a
paragraph but there are instances where
in uh the the rationale of the study is
written in more than one paragraph So as
much as possible try to compress and
summarize and outline your rational of
the study in one paragraph you can
already do that because in the
background of the study you are already
going to present evidences that would
support your rational of the study
remember rational of the study should
present the reason why you conducted the
study what were the reasons you
conducted
and you chose the study what motivated
you what are these evidences so you also
have to present these evidences and we
are going to again go through that with
our discussion for today so that's
number one and number two number three
this part of the study the rational of
the study presents the argument and also
presents the evidence or evidences that
there is an urgent and pressing need to
conduct the study these arguments and
evidences should lead to your argument
that this there is a need and uh there
is a pressing need an urgent need to
conduct this study so present evidences
for this so you cannot just uh tell uh
and write in your in your narrative in
your manuscript that there is a need
according to your perception according
to your observation so again this should
be evidence and document based again I
am going to reiterate the reason why you
conducted the study cannot be based on
your perception
nor your observation
please
okay according to my observation I uh
experienced this and therefore I
concluded that there is a pressing and
urgent need to conduct a study based on
this particular issue no it cannot be it
should be based on document documentary
evidence and again we are going to
discuss what are these specific
evidences that you can use as uh to
support as an Evidence to your uh
argument of the study for the rational
of the study okay next
aha so we are at number three evidences
supporting your argument as mentioned
earlier should be presented and
discussed comprehensively in the
preceding part in the latter part of the
rationale of the study which is the
background of the study so in the
background of the study this is the part
where you will be presenting your
evidences your documents
that there is really a need to conduct
the study so uh I think that is already
clear so you present this not in the
actual rational of the study because
that will only be composed of one
paragraph but uh the the part of your
research which is the background of the
study proceeding the rational of the
study so you discuss the evidences in
the background of the study because
there is no no uh room for you to place
your discussion in the rational of the
study since this will only serve as the
outline of the rational of the study
okay the next one will be number five so
specific discrete sources should be
cited like what are these documents
school documents
minutes of the meeting of these uh
documents or or of these I know uh
activities or specifically meetings
evaluation and assessment results
supporting your claim that there is an
issue or problem that merits the
conduction of your study
so these are the documents that I was
meant I mentioned earlier that you would
use in your discussion of the rational
of the study which is supposed to to be
located at the background of the study
and then when you go to the part of the
rational of the study you are already
going to summarize outline these reasons
and then
present the motivation of your study and
then this will be
considered as the rational of your
research or the study that you are
conducting so basically these are the
considerations that you need to include
and incorporate in the writing of the
rational of the study again in in the
writing of the background of the study I
have a separate video for that make sure
that you organize your discussion so you
the the method or paragraph method or
discussion method that we use for for
quantitative research is supposed to be
deductive method
so deductive method starts from the
general going to
specific
so again organize your
discussions or sequence of discussions
in deductive method and then eventually
leading to the last part of this uh part
of the research which is the rational of
the study okay so I hope this was able
to Enlighten you on the elements and
inclusions and considerations that you
need to
put in place when you write the rational
of the study and then again there are
videos that would be able to help you
write the other parts of your research
and this will be shown on the left side
of your screen and you can check that
out all of these are available in my
