Thesis)

In thesis writing, the most difficult part to write is Chapter 1 (The Problem).

The most difficult part of an endeavor is the starting point. This is because the
first chapter is where you conceptualize the entire research. The whole
research/thesis can be reflected in Chapter 1 including expected results or
outcomes.

Read the following sample format of Chapter 1. Remember, the format is not
universal, meaning it could vary from one school to another and/or from
one course to another.

4. The subproblem should be arranged in logical order from actual to
analytical following the flow in the research paradigm.

Hypothesis (Optional)
1.A hypothesis should be measurable/ desirable.
2. It expresses expected relationship between two or more variables. It is
based on the theory and/or empirical evidence.
3.There are techniques available to measure or describe the variables.
It is on a one to one correspondence with the specific problems of the study
4. A hypothesis in statistical form has the following characteristics;
it is used when the test of significance of relationships and
difference of measures are involved.
the level of significance if stated.

Assumption
1.An assumption should be based on the general and specific
problems.
2. It is stated in simple, brief, generally accepted statement.

Scope and limitation

How to write Chapter 2 Review of elated Literature and Studies
(Source: Published on January 2, 2023 by Shona McCombes. Revised on September 11, 2023
from: https://www.scribbr.com/methodology/literature-review/)

What is a literature review? A literature review is a survey of scholarly


sources on a specific topic. It provides an overview of current knowledge, allowing you
to identify relevant theories, methods, and gaps in the existing research that you can
later apply to your paper, thesis, or dissertation topic.

There are five key steps to writing a literature review:


1. Search for relevant literature
2. Evaluate sources
3. Identify themes, debates, and gaps
4. Outline the structure
5. Write your literature review

A good literature review doesn’t just summarize sources—it


analyzes, synthesizes, and critically evaluates to give a clear picture of the state of
knowledge on the subject

What is the purpose of a literature review?


When you write a thesis, dissertation, or research paper, you will likely have to
conduct a literature review to situate your research within existing knowledge. The
literature review gives you a chance to:
 Demonstrate your familiarity with the topic and its scholarly context
 Develop a theoretical framework and methodology for your research
 Position your work in relation to other researchers and theorists
 Show how your research addresses a gap or contributes to a debate
 Evaluate the current state of research and demonstrate your knowledge of the
scholarly debates around your topic.
