Research Paradigm
The research paradigm is an outline that
guides the researcher in conceptualizing and conducting the research.
An effective research must address these two important
aspects: research foundation and research methodology
The research foundations refer to the fundamental
components of research such as the research problem, purpose, specific questions to be addressed, and conceptual framework to be applied. In determining the research topic or problem, the researcher must look at a significant real problem. Formulating a research problem requires describing the undesirable situations related to the problem and the needed knowledge or information in order to solve the problem.
The purpose of the research describes how the study will fill this this “knowledge gap.”
The research questions may either be framed in a quantitative
(how much, how often, to what extent) or qualitative (what, why, how) manner.
The conceptual framework is an outline or paradigm that
presents the topic to be studied, the various variables and contexts, and how these relate to influence each other. The research methodology describes how the researcher will answer the research questions in a credible manner.
The review of literature analyzes the existing knowledge
regarding the research topic. It identifies gaps information that may be addressed by the research. It is also an important basis of the conceptual framework of the study.
The research approach and design identifies what is the
best means to collect and analyze data in the study.
Data collection gives the methods to determine who will be
the participants in the study, how the variables will be measured and how data will be documented and collected. The collected data will then undergo data analysis, which consists of the strategies and methods that make sense of the data to answer the research problems and questions.
Conclusion summarizes the key results of the study and
discusses how these are relevant to the research problem. Outline of the Research Paper Chapter 1: The Problem and Its Background a. Introduction, Background of the Study b. Statement of the Problem c. Scope and Delimitation d. Significance of the Study
