Group 4 Reporting
Significance of the Study
Introduction - Marjorie
A pleasant afternoon to all and especially to you Sir Sagum, we are group four,
reporting a part of research that we often come across when writing a research paper,
which is called the significance of the study. Today we'll discuss what exactly is
significance of thestudy and its definition, why you should care about it, why it's important
to include in your research work, where to include it in your paper or thesis, how to write
it, and we'll also show some examples of it for you guys to familiarize with, and without
further ado lets start with the definition of significance of the study which will be talked
about by ( Bontogon )
Definition – Bontogon
The significance of the study is a section in the introduction of your thesis or paper.
It’s purpose is to make clear why your study was needed and the specific contribution
your research made to furthering academic knowledge in your field.
In significance of the study, a researcher must convince the reader that the study
has significant benefits and contributions in a relation to solving social problem, business
operation, bringing a knowledge gap, improving economic, and health conditions,
enriching research instrument and methods, and government thrusts.
Now continuing after the Definition, we’ll tackle into why you should care or what is the
importance of significance of the study, may I call on Javate to discuss this part (Bontogs)
Why to show care in Significance of the Study - Denzel
The significance of the study is a written statement that explains why your research
is needed. It's a justification of the importance of your work and impact it has on your
research field, it's contribution to new knowledge and how others will benefit from it.
Continuing further with this topic, Sophia will address the importance of it (Denzel)
Importance - Sophia
The significance of the study is important to include in the work mainly because it
helps the readers to understand why your research matters and what impact it may have.
It involves the context, relevance, and contributions to the field, explaining why the chosen
topic needs to be investigated. it also explains how the outcomes could contribute to
solutions to the real problems of the world. Additionally, Researchers will understand
better because of the relevance and its potential impact.
Now that we’ve discussed the role it plays in research, the format or order and how to
write one will be handled by De Paz and Mae ( Sophia )
Format and Order – De Paz
The Significance of the Study is typically located after the introduction and
literature review sections. Explanation:Here, it serves the more detailed sections that
follow, emphasizing the value of the research and maintaining reader engagement. It
allows the readers to identify the context and gaps identified earlier, clearly highlighting
the study's contributions, practical implications, and relevance.
Writing a Significance of the Study - Mae
1. Make your research problem your starting point
2. Describe how your research will add to the existing body of knowledge in the
field
3. Describe how your research will help people, organizations or society
4. Indicate how your research will aid future studies in the field
5. Literature voids
Suggested sequence for writing the significance statement
1. Think of the gaps your study is setting out to address.
2. Look at your research from general and specific angles in terms of its
(potential) contribution.
3. Once you have these points ready, start writing them, connecting them to
your study as a whole.
Some ways to begin your statement(s) of significance
Here are some opening lines to build on:
• The particular significance of this study lies in the…
• We argue that this study moves the field forward because…
• This study makes some important contributions to…
• Our findings deepen the current understanding about…
c. Don’ts of writing a significance statement
• Don’t make it too long.
• Don’t repeat any information that has been presented in other sections.
• Don’t overstate or exaggerate the importance; it should match your
actual findings.
To better familiarize yourself with significance of the study, Aim and Ezekiel will show
you and explain the following example of a significance of the study ( Mae )
Example of Significance of Research – Ezekiel and Aim
The result of this study will benefited the following:
Students. This study will help the students to attend their class regularly since this
will provide information about the benefits that they can acquire in attending school. This
students would be able to go to school on time. They would become more responsible.
Teachers. They could help each other in implementing plans in helping the
students to attend the school and will be equipped with scientific research thus they can
treat this problem objectively
Parents and Guardians. Parents and Guardians could encourage, the children to
go to school, it is also to know how their children behave at school, likewise, this would
give them the opportunity to help, guide their children in leading with problems that may
affect performance especially with regards to their academics.
Future Researcher. The conducted studies will further open doors for future
researchers to refine and expand studies in relation to cutting classes. This may serve as
a source of information about what provokes students to cut class on an individual's
academic perform.
Summary - Sophia
Significance of the research is one of the key points in making a research paper,
it includes the reasons and what the research is for, its benefits and contributions for the
people, society and future studies to further our knowledge of things and come up with
answers. This can be a difficult part to write, but there are necessary guides or rules you
can follow in writing one.
