The titleGuidelines in

Writing the Title

Generally, the title is formulated before the start of the research work. It may be

revised and refined later if there is a need.

The title must contain the subject matter of the study, locale of the study, the population involved, and the period

when the data were gathered or will be gathered.

It must be broad enough to include all aspects of the subject matter studied or to be studied. Hence, the title indicates what is expected to be found inside the

thesis report.~GROUP 2~

title

~GROUP 2~

It must be as brief and concise as possible.

Avoid using the terms “An Analysis of,” “A Study of,” “An Investigation

of,” and the like. All these things are understood to have been done or

to done when a research is conducted.

If the title contains more than one line, it must be written like an inverted pyramid, all words in

capital letters.

Guidelines in Formulating the General Problem and the Specific Sub problems or

Specific Questions

Statement of the

problem

1. The general statement of the problem and the specific sub-problems or questions should be formulated first before conducting the research.

2. It is customary to state specific subproblems in the interrogative form. Hence, subproblems are called specific questions.

3. Each specific question must be clear and unequivocal, that is, it has only one meaning. It must not have dual meanings.

4. Each specific question is researchable apart from the other questions, that is, answers to specific questions can be found even without considering the other questions.

5. Each specific question must be based upon known facts and phenomena. Besides, data from such known facts and phenomena must be accessible to make the specific question researchable.

6. Answers to specific questions can be interpreted apart from the answers to other specific questions.

7. Answers to each specific question must contribute to the development of the whole research problem or topic.

8. Summing up the answers to all the specific questions will give a complete development of the entire study.

9. The number of specific questions should be enough to cover the development of the whole research problem or study.

Before writing down the specific questions, determine first the different aspects of the research problem to be studied and then for each aspect make one specific question with subquestions if there is a need.

10.Generally, there should be a general statement of the problem and then this should be broken up into as many subproblems or specific questions as necessary.
