8. Background of the Study This is a brief statement of the origin of the problem. It is an account describing the circumstances which suggested the research and the justification for the selection of the study. The problem is presented starting from a global perspective, then finally converging to the specific problem at hand.

9. Statements of the Problem  The problem must be shown as one that arose from a situation or need.  The problem should be stated precisely, accurately, and clearly.  The general problem can be stated in declarative form while the specific problems stated in the interrogative form.

10. Significance of the Study  This is the justification of the research.  This section explains why the problem being investigated is important and why the results are significant.  It should include its relevance to felt needs, the potential contribution to new knowledge, policy implications, and other possible uses for the results.  It identifies the specific people or agency that would benefit from the findings of the study and how they will be benefited.

11. Scope and Delimitation of the Study  The scope presents the content and coverage and what variables are included in the study. It also includes explanation as to why some areas are not taken into consideration or not included as variables.  The scope is expected to indicate a reasonable area of study which is large enough to be significant but narrow enough to permit careful treatment.  The scope of the problem should be stated specifically. It defines when and where the study is conducted and who the subjects are.

12. Theoretical Framework  Used to guide the research process. Provides foundation for the research and helps shape the research plan. Explains and evaluates the theories that support and show that the work is anchored in established ideas. A foundation review of existing theory that serves as a roadmap for developing the arguments you will use in your own work.

13. Conceptual Framework  Conceptual framework is textual but it contains a graphical or pictorial presentation, the paradigm, of the underlying theories as bases for the study.  A tentative explanation or theoretical explanation of the phenomenon or problem.
