Area of Investigation

This section of the research should give the reader enough information to be able to

understand the background information and the importance of the research problem. It will

often include a review of other people's findings. If well written, this section will explain your

motive for undertaking the project and stimulate the reader.

This should contain the purpose of the software, the feature of the software, and the general

description of the modules to be included. If the software is a game, describe the mechanics

of the game as well.

Reasons for the Choice of Project

Answers the question:Why is this software being created in the first place?

If your research is based on the study of a specific problem, the problem should be clearly

stated or defined. While discussing the reasons for choosing this topic, you may often want to

show its relationship to the present problems. The best researches include a discussion of the

relationship of the problem to the existing theories.

Importance of the Study

Answers the question:Is there a practical need / use for this software product?

It is where the significant contribution of the result of the study is enumerated. Suchcontribution may be viewed from the point of the target beneficiaries like the researcher

himself, service, provider, client, society etc. It indicates who are the different groups of

beneficiaries, how will each group benefit from use of the study or software. Summarize the

Educational, Technological and Economical significance of the study.

Introduction

This is a general introduction to what the thesis is all about--it is not just a description of the

contents of each section.

The introduction gives the background of the project and the rationale for conducting the

study.A good introduction should:

a. Tell the background and

b. show the rationale and justification of choosing the subject.

c. Identified the research problem.

This is the first chapter of the thesis. It supplies sufficient background information to allow the

reader to understand and evaluate the results of the present study without needing to refer to

previous publications on the topic. It should contain the nature and scope of the problem

investigated, what served as motivation for the proponent/s to pursue the study, the

objective/s and justification of the study as well as the limitations of the study. The introduction

is the proper place to define any specialized terms and concepts used in thesis.

Review of Related Literatures and Studies

This chapter serves to tie together two things:what others have done on the topic and what

theproponent plans to do. The review of related literature is supposed to lead the reader to

the proponent's research project and justification. This chapter should be organized

depending on the field, nature and quality of literature available.

Related literature should give a brief summary of the written literature and the relationship

with the present study. Related studies are investigations that are usually unpublished

materials like manuscript, thesis and dissertations, which were conducted previously, to

which the present study has similarity and relatedness.

Conceptual Framework

Framework is represented through a paradigm in order to show the concepts in a more vivid

way. It is the coverage of the study in terms of parameters of the subject being covered. The

whole component of the objective problems will help identify the framework.

From the review of the related literature and studies and the existing study the proponent may

formulate a theoretical diagram and may serve a basis for the formulation or research

hypothesis.

The conceptual framework consists of the investigation's own positions on a problem. The

conceptual is the proponent's new concepts (model/innovations), the central theme of the

study, the focus or the guide for investigation that is related framework.

The conceptual framework presents relationships between the factors and perceptions stand

and direction of the writer in preparation.An explanation of the problem or phenomenon to be

studied after his review of various literature and studies which gives exposure to various

concept and theories that have bearing problem.

Statement of the Problem

The statement of the problem may be in interrogative or declarative form; the number of thespecific questions or problems will give a complete development of the study. It should be

formatted first before conducting the research and developing the software. The focus of the

problem will be on the inadequacy of the current/existing study.

This portion includes the objectives of the study. The problem should start both in general

term and specific term. The general statement of the problem is usually reiteration of the title

of the study or thesis.

The specific problem should be quantifiable and measurable. They should be specifically

stated.

Hypothesis

The hypothesis is a tentative conclusion or answer to a specific question raised at the

beginning of the investigation. It is an educated guess about the specific objective and

problem. It is a simple guess about the projected outcome/output to be accepted if found true

as per the data obtained, rejected otherwise.

Significance of the Study

The rationale, timeless and relevance of the study. In this section, the author expresses the

value of the research study. It is where the significant contribution of the result of the study is

enumerated. Such contribution may be viewed from the point of the target beneficiaries like

the researcher himself, service, providers, client, society etc..

It indicate who are the different groups of beneficiaries, how will each group benefit from use

of the study or software?

Educational Significance. The proponent should be able to discuss and explain who are to be

benefited and how they are going to be benefited, possible contribution to knowledge.

Technological Significance. Possible solutions to existing problems or improvement to

unsatisfactory conditions with the computer and its functions as a tool.

Economical Significance. The proponent should be able to discuss and explain who are the

beneficiaries and possible contribution to economic status of the beneficiaries even in broaderimplications.

Scope and Limitation

The scope should include the brief statement of the general purpose of the study, the subject

matter and topics studied and discussed, the locale of the study, where the data were

gathered or the entity to which the data belongs, the population that is large enough to

generalizations significant, the period of the study (time either months, years during the data

were gathered).It should explain the expected capabilities of the software according to theneeds and purpose of the users.

Definition of Terms

Its primary function is to help the readers in understanding and explaining the proponents

view of a particular term. Terms related to the study and terms used in the study should be

included here.It should express the meaning of the term used in a particular field of the study
