It also serves as guide to the investigator in his/her quest for data or information for the investigation. They are conjectural or tentative statement about the relationship between the variables to be proved right or wrong. the statements of relationship between variables. The major research questions should be raised using active verbs such as are, is, does etc… This will subsequently reinforce both the validity and the reliability of the instrument.ġ.7 Research Hypothesis: Hypotheses are basic assumptions regarding the variables i.e. From the general research questions, minor research questions can be formulated and these are specific questions which, may be used eventually as questions for the construction of the questionnaire or study instrument. When the research questions are answered, the objectives of the study are achieved. Such research questions should be in line with the aim and objective of the study. It provides the author the opportunity to justify his/her attempt to solve the problem.ġ.6 Research Questions: These are guide to the research in his quest to provide answers to the problem being investigated. It provides the researcher the opportunity to explain the boundaries of the study and describe the aspect of a general /wide problem area covered as well as what aspects will not be covered.ġ.5 Significance of the study: This section provides justification for the study and what will be contributed to knowledge by the study if successfully carried out.
Four (3) to five (5) specific statements (objectives) of what the research intends to do to achieve the main aim could be stated.ġ.4 Scope of the study: Delimitation or scope of the study enables the research to cover his/her research within a manageable limit. The purpose of the study is to be given as finding a solution to the problem or finding relationships that exist between the problem and other problems by breaking the problem into its component parts through exploration or analysis. The author is expected to narrow the problem or state the problem in specific terms. If possible, such problem could be linked to given theory or fact. Students should be able to state the problem clearly and convincingly, justify/show the necessity to find solution to it, as well as the implication of such problem. Research study is to provide answers /solutions to identified problems. It will also be a way to establish relationship that exists between the problem being investigated and the larger area of concern to people and organizations.
This will serve as the basis of introducing the problem. Students are expected to describe in general terms the larger area of the problem being investigated. The first five chapters are the standard chapters of Computer Science Education Project or Seminar Material, others may include ġ.0 Introduction: In this section, simply state the definition of your topic sentence and write about the activities that we will likely see in the body of your work.
