research presentation

1. Scope of the Study Parameters under which the study will be operating -- what the study covers -- and is closely connected to the framing of the problem. (Simon & Goes 2013,) It describes where and when the study is conducted and who the subjects are or the population included, and it also deals with the extent of the study to be made. In short, scope means all those things that will be covered in your research project

2. Delimitation Specific choices made by the researcher. Arising from what the researcher’s wants to exclude. Delimitations result from the specific choices made by the researcher which should be mentioned in the study like the objectives and the questions, variables of interest, theoretical perspectives that were adopted, the paradigm, the theoretical framework, and the population you are not studying (and why not)

3. Limitations Shortcomings, conditions or influence that cannot be controlled by the researcher but it could affect the end results of the study. Potential weakness that might influence the end results and conclusions of the study.

4. Limitations Limitations are constraints that are largely beyond the control of the researcher but could affect the study outcome (Simon & Goes 2013, 2). It often flows from methodology and study design choices in which each different option in methodology and design has particular limitations.

5. You may use the following phrases when writing the scope and delimitation of the study ( Barrot 2017,36):

6. Limitations and Delimitation This study covers… • This study focuses on… • The coverage of this study… • This study consists of… This study does not cover the… This study is limited to… The researcher limited this study to…

7. LIMITATIONS VS. DELIMITATIONS Limitations Delimitations Shortcomings, conditions or influence or elements that cannot be controlled by the researcher but it could affect the end results of the study It is the boundaries that the researcher has set for the study arising from what the researcher’s wants to exclude the researcher has no control the researcher has the control of the limit what you cannot do in your study what you will not do in your study Key word: weakness Key word: boundary

8. Components in Developing the Scope and Delimitation The scope and delimitation describe the parameters to which the study is set ( Barrot 2017, 36). It is the two important elements in research that inform the readers what information should be included and why it should be included in the study. The components of the scope and delimitation answer the basic questions ( Wh questions) includes (but not limited to) the following items ( Barrot 2017, 36; Faltado III et al, 21)

9. Components of the Scope and Delimitation of the Study Determinants of Banks Profitability and its Performance

10. The main purpose of the study is to determine the determinants of the profitability of banks in relation to bank performance. The study will cover 21 universal and 22 commercial banks in the Philippines. The study is limited to the annual bank-level data of the Philippines universal and commercial banking sector for the period of 2008-2018 or ten (10) years since it takes years to determine if banks are profitable or not. The study will employ secondary data (such as financial statements) and to gather this data, it will be collected from the Bankscope database maintained by Bureau van Dijk's company which contains financials reports of banks across the globe. The study will be conducted during the First Semester, School Year 2019-2020.

11. What—The topic of investigation and the variables included Example : banks profitability and its performance Where—The locale, venue or settings of the research Example : Philippines When— The time frame in which the study will be conducted Example: First Semester, School Year 2019-2020 Why— The general objectives of the study Example : To determine the determinants of the profitability of banks in relation to bank performance

12. Who—The subject of the study, characteristics of the participants in the study (age, sex, education, economic status, civil status, and other traits), the population Example : 21 Universal and 22 commercial banks in the Philippines How—The methodology of the research which may include the research design, data gathering technique, sampling procedures, and data analysis scheme Example : A secondary data (such as financial statements) that will be gathered through a Bankscope database maintained by Bureau van Dijk's company.

13. E xample 1: The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness of using cheese and purple sweet potato “ ube halaya ” in making Pinoy pandesal .

The study will be conducted in San Miguel National High School in San Miguel, Bulacan during the Third Quarter, School Year 2019-2020.

15. Example 3: The purpose of this study is to examine the efficacy of using Saba banana peels in producing bioplastic. The study will be on focuses on biodegradability and the durability of bioplastic. The study will be limited to use sized Saba bananas with no injury or bruises on the skin to ensure the experimental process was fair. The researcher will not be using any parts of the banana or its plants except its peeling. The study will be conducted during the First Semester, School Year 2020-2021.

19. 1. Delimitations are the things that you are not doing as a researcher. 2. Scope of the study describes the coverage of the study. 3. What” is a Wh -question that is used to ask information about the methodology of the research which may include the research design, methodology, and research instrument. 4.Limitations are constraints that are largely beyond the control of the researcher but could affect the study outcome. 5. Delimitations are the sub-variables of the study and their characteristics, attributes, or indicators serve that are not to be included in the research.

20. “This study does not cover the…” is a phrase that can be used for limitations School Year 2018-2019 is an example of time frame. When” is a Wh -question that is used to ask information about the general objectives of the study. Scope and delimitation of the study are the two important elements in research that informs the readers what information should be included and why it should be included in the study.

21. .In writing the scope and delimitation, two paragraphs are enough. .Limitations are the things that you not do in your study. In writing the scope and delimitation, make sure that there are reasons for the inclusion and exclusion of some variables. Who” is a Wh -question that is used to ask information about the characteristics of the respondents. Scope of the study should be defined at a preliminary stage of the research. .Limitations do not have weakness and it will not influence the end results of the study.
