Significance of the study in thesis is a part where you will tell the importance and purpose of your study. This part is tell how the study would be beneficial to society and specific person.

This is a sample significance of the Study By: Engr. Mary Rose Florence S. Cobar, Doctor of Philosophy in Education , Thesis title: “Development of a Source Material in Food Dehydration Craft Technology for the Secondary Schools

The study of dehydration technology and craft fabrication can be a learning paradigm in the secondary level and vocational schools to enhance the students’ knowledge and entrepreneurial skills as well. This is but a small contribution with the Dakar Framework for Action (2000) that not only basic education be learned by today’s students but acquisition of learning skills and knowledge for gainful employment and full participation in country’s society. The project’s goal is designed to help students improve academic competence, develop employability skills, implement a career plan and participate in a career pathway in preparation for post secondary education or careers in the food manufacturing or services sector after graduating from high school. This goal can be achieved through the mentors that can teach the students the food dehydration technology and craft fabrication for use of the process. The output of this study is a source material that the teachers can assimilate and disseminate by diffusion and induction technique.

What to Include in your Title Page

admin

For sure everybody knows that a title page is the first page of a thesis, dissertation or report.  Title page varies from one school to another but still contain the same parts such as the name of the topic, the name of the author, the relationship of the report to a course or degree requirement, name of the institution where the report is to be submitted and the date of presentation.

It is said that the title must be written or typed in capital letters, single spaced, and centered between the right and left margins of the page.  Where more than one line is required, the words in the title are divided into lines so that each successive line is shorter than the one above it and is centered below it in an inverted pyramid style.

Simple Tips in Choosing Research Topics

admin
  1. Choose a subject that interests you but from which you can still learn much.
  2. Choose a subject that is not broad.
  3. Choose a subject not too difficult, one for which you can find materials from popular magazines or books aimed at general reading.
  4. Choose a subject that has some interest for the average reader.

Once you have settled upon a subject, you are now ready to gather materials.  Begin by defining the specific problem with which you wish to deal. Select only materials related specifically to your problem.

The sources of materials are the following: observation or experience, interview, library and special bulletin and reports.

If your source of materials is books, you will need to take note the following: the author or editor, title of the book, place of publication, publisher, date of publication, and call number. If you use magazines as source of material, you will need to the author and title of the article, name of magazines or newspaper, volume number, date of issue, and page number.

How to Select a Research Method

admin

After the research problem has been defined, the next step would be to determine and select the method of research to be used.  There are number of considerations in the process of selecting the method of research.

  • The method of research should be logically sound.  It must have well-ordered processes of thinking.
  • Research method should be adequate for the solution of the problem.
  • The researcher should see to it that the research is free from specific weaknesses in research methodology.
  • The chosen research method should be adequately explained. The explanation must be precise, not ambiguous; clear and sharp.
  • The researcher should have reasons for the selection of research method, and these reasons must be clear and precise.

In selecting a research method, the researcher should think through the research problem carefully, analyze critically the adequacy and effectiveness of the method, and take into account the nature of the problem and the purposes of the study

The President

Western College
Cabanatuan City

Dear Mr. President:

The Senate Committee on Education with the assistance of well-known educators and researchers is undertaking a comprehensive survey of universities and colleges for the purpose of assessing and defining the role of higher education in the process of national development.  We consider your cooperation in this undertaking to be very valuable.  Specifically, the study aims, among other things, (a) to gain insight into the quality and quantity of major educational inputs, (b) to assess the contribution of higher education, and (c) to explore possibility for alternative directions, planning and possible legislation for the improvement of and support for higher education in the country to make it more relevant to national need and development.

The study covers two major areas; namely, (1) survey of educational institutions, and (2) follow-up study of graduates or alumni.  The attached questionnaire is designed to elicit the information needed for the study of educational institutions. We shall send other questionnaires to complete our study of educational institutions.

We wish to assure you that all information obtained in this study will be kept in strict confidence.  The identity of the institution will not be revealed in any way as the report will only deal with aggregates.  As much as possible, please do not leave any item in the questionnaire blank.

No total in-depth study in higher education has so far been completed.  It is our experience that the reason for this is that questionnaire sent are not answered and returned on time.  The return of this questionnaire in three weeks is therefore earnestly requested.

Thank you.

Dr. Mercedes de Leon
Chairman
Senate Committee on Education

Sample Scope and Delimitation of the Study

Thesis title: “Development of a Source Material in Food Dehydration Craft Technology for the Secondary Schools”

The primary objective is to develop a course outline complementing the present high school subjects offering and preparation of a manual of procedures that will serve as a guideline in performing the experiments and what will then be the output of said experiments.

The secondary objective is for the course program to provide a combination of educational and work based learning opportunities for a student’s career path after leaving the high school portals. With urban based employment growing but cannot absorb the incoming supply of labor, that is, for new high school and college graduates, entrepreneurship in the food sector can offset this imbalance.

As an addendum, the study will only include local fruits such as bananas, mangoes and pineapples as subject of dehydration in the literature and proposed manual.

How to Select a Research Problem

admin
  1. Prevention of unnecessary duplication. The problem must not have been investigated before. If the problem is investigated before, it may be the subject of another study but with different assumptions, different methods, or different ways of analyzing data.
  2. Practical value of the problem. The result of the research study should use to improve practices and concepts.  It can use of those who may want to make use it.
  3. Researcher’s interest in the problem. The researcher should select a problem not because of research popularity or someone wants him to investigate it but because it appeals to his interest.
  4. Availability of data on the problem. A fruitful results yield if data on the problem is available.
  5. Special qualification of the researcher to attack the problem. The researcher whose field is medicine is eminently qualified to investigate problems in medicine; we cannot say that he is qualified to undertake research in other field.
  6. Time required to investigate the problem.  The research should be conducted within a reasonable period of time.
  7. Cost of investigating the problem. Conducting a research project needs the expenditure of money such as questionnaires, tools, xerox, etc. The cost should be reasonable meaning it is within the means of the researcher.

Data Collection Methods

admin

There must always be data that should be collected, organized, analyzed, and interpreted in any research undertaking.  No research activity can be succeeded without necessary data so the data collection is important phase of the research process.

According to Frederick Lamson Whitney, data are the things we think with.   They are the raw materials of reflection, until by comparison, combination, and evaluation they are stepped up to higher levels of generalization, where again they serve as basic materials for higher and higher thinking.

Data can be classified in different ways.  It may be objective or subjective.  They may be quantitative or qualitative  They may be attributes or variables..  Data may also be classified according to the methods or types of research that the researcher may use.  It can also classify as primary or secondary or as raw or derived.

There are methods or techniques used to collection data namely: the questionnaire, observation, the interview, psychological tests and library technique. The researcher must choose the most appropriate method or technique that is suitable and most useful to his/her research projects.

Thesis title: “Development of a Source Material in Food Dehydration Craft Technology for the Secondary Schools”

Proposition

The research study’s objective is to link the concepts from science, technology and home economics to reinforce each other making them academically complimentary. The study aims to give the teachers added knowledge in food science that they can later impart to students. Students, in turn can make informed career choices in food sciences, food craft technology and entrepreneurship.

In the education sector, a new learning concept can be infused by the Makabayan teacher in the present curricula with possible adjustments in the technology subjects so as to fit in the load hours needed to complete the course outline to be made. The Department of Education can pilot-test in one area similar to what is being done in the high school department of the Central Luzon State University in Nueva Ecija wherein food dehydration, management process and industrial arts are incorporated in its integrated technology subjects.
