{The title should be a stand-alone statement that can fully describe the
research by summarizing the main idea of the manuscript. The title
should concisely identify the variables being investigated and the
relationship among those variables (American Psychological
Association [APA], 2010). Words should serve a useful purpose; avoid
words that do not add substance or words that are misleading.}

I. Introduction
This part provides background information or preamble to the report. Describe how your
topic is related to globalization It includes a justification of the selection or choice of the
study.
a. Research Problem
This provides the purpose for the research. This section of the paper
introduces the problem under investigation, addresses why the researcher
wants to investigate this problem, and how the research findings may
help. Supporting documentation, including statistical data if available,
should be used to emphasize the need for this research. This section is
one of the most important sections of the Research paper; its serves to
gain the reader’s attention and support. You care about the research, but
the reader may need some convincing. The first few sentences of the
paper should intrigue the reader to spike his or her interest and encourage
further reading.
b. Research Objective
It must be based on a situation of need or of unresolved difficulties. It
should be stated precisely, accurately, and clearly. It can be stated either
in a declarative or interrogative form. It can be one main statement/
question, or a series of statements/questions, or a combination of these
forms. The problem should be defined in terms of the data that can be
obtained.

Proponent’s Name
As you begin to write the problem statement of your research, consider
your research. First consider why you feel the problem is
important. Consider how your study relates to previous work in the field,
how you will link your hypotheses and objectives to theory, and how the
hypotheses relate to the research design. Finally, consider the theoretical
and practical implications involved in your research project (APA,
2010). A well-developed, concise, and clear problem statement will lay
the foundation for a strong research and the dissertation that follows.

II. Studies and Literature Review
This provides identification of major studies and literature that supports and validates
the topic; focuses on areas that offer support for new research, and offers the student
an opportunity to analyze and synthesize past research in the context of their present
problem. For the Research paper, the student should connect their research project to
a theoretical model reported in the literature. The most successful research projects
have been based on the research of predecessors, and this section of the Research
paper provides enough of a description of previous research to plant seeds in the mind
of the reader suggesting more information is needed. A strong Research paper is
based on a wide-range literature review that is condensed into a summary of key points.
a. Foreign literature
Books, articles, etc. which are authored by foreign writers
b. Foreign studies
Researches, theses, dissertations of foreign authors of different countries
c. Local literature
Books, articles, journals, etc. written in the Philippines
d. Local studies
Researches, theses, dissertations written locally by Filipino writers
e. Synthesis and relevance to the study
Once the researcher gathered all those foreign and local literature and
studies, he has to collate and synthesize them to show their relevance to his
undertakings.

III. Conceptual Basis
This part should contain theories which further support the study being conducted. It is a
scheme for the research problem and a central focus of the study. It specifies the key
variables showing their relationships.
It lays out the conceptual basis of this dissertation. It is the theoretical foundation for the
subsequent chapters and Analysis. At first, an introduction to success factor research is
given, highlighting its limitations. This is followed by the presentation of model concept
which builds the framework for the analysis of the topic. Finally, the topic is presented
and its composition and characteristics are highlighted.

IV. Operationalization (Methodology)
This part provides an explanation and reasoning of the applied research methodology.
This study is a qualitative research. A qualitative research method is a general way of
thinking about conducting qualitative research. It describes explicitly or implicitly the
purpose of the research, the role of the researcher and the method of data analysis.
Qualitative researcher aims to gather an in-depth understanding of the topic and the
reasons that govern such. The qualitative method investigates the why and how, not
just what, when and where.
a. Data Collection
Refers to the design used in the research like survey, descriptive, and
experimental. It includes the target respondents (if any) and the size of the
population. It describes the sample size, and the sampling procedure.
b. Data Description
This refers to the description of the adoption, construction, and administration of
instruments. These instruments include tests, questionnaires, interview,
apparatuses, devices, and laboratory equipment.
c. Analysis / Results of Data
The description on how the researcher gathered his data. The whole processes
of gathering data should be described accurately and precisely from the
distribution of the questionnaires, and other instruments to the retrievals of the
same. In case of experiments, it includes the instructions given to the
participants, the formation of groups, the experimental manipulations, and control

features in the design. This section tells the reader what the researcher did and
how he did it.

V. Discussion
Implication is based on the findings of the previous chapters. In the realm of applied
research it now focuses on actually delivering a solution for a practical problem (Ulrich,
1981, 1984), as well as the derived results from the Analysis by means of their practical
application.
a. Theoretical Implications
The research at hand first presented an overview of the topic and its most
relevant players. Although the focus of this reserch lay on the evaluation of
practical recommendation, some relevant theoretical insights could be generated.
Predominantly, these refer to the classification of related ideas.
b. Practical Implications
This part applied research it now focuses on actually delivering a solution for a
practical problem as well as highlight of the importance of verifying the derived
results from the application.

VI. Conclusion
This summarizes the collected data and presents the results to the reader. It is a brief
recapitulation of the entire content of the paper. It shows the important points of the
study from the problem to the description on how the researcher arrived at the result
and findings. It includes a brief statement of the objectives and problems of the study,
the method used, the respondents, the instruments, and the findings.
a. Key Findings
This part contains points that were actually learned from the study. They are
answer to the sub-questions raised in the statement of the problems. They are
written concisely and convey all the information resulting from the study acquired
by the research questions. They are directed only to the population and area of
the study stated in categorical form.
b. Recommendations
Recommendations should be based on the conclusions made. The
recommendations are meant to improve and solve the problems raised. They are
actions to be done by people or organizations or agencies so that the problems
could be solved. They are also appeals to people who are stakeholders or
interested in solving the problem found in the study.
