Teacher Handout

The following suggestions are based from the book of Methods of Research Thesis
Writing and Applied Statistics by F. Zulueta and J. Perez.

Suggested Guidelines in Writing the Introduction

The introduction maybe composed of three or four paragraphs which will enable the
readers to see at a glance the entire contents of the research work.

1. The first paragraph is intended to provide the readers a mental readiness, thus giving them
the information as to what the problem of the research is all about. It introduces the study and
its justification.

2. The second paragraph carries the greater part of this introduction and the problem that is
used as frame of reference. It tells the readers the scope, circumstances and the coverage of
the study.

3. The third paragraph revolves around the various conditions that accompany and determine
the purpose of the study.

4. The last paragraph is a sort of closing portion that arouses the curiosity and interest of the
readers to know the results of the study.

Suggested Tips in Writing the Statement of the Problem

1. The problem should be stated both in general and in specific terms. The general statement
of the problem is a reiteration of the title of the study.

2. The problem is stated in an interrogatory form. It must ask a question and sub-problems
must follow the main problem which is the key issues for investigations in the research.

3. The problem should be stated in the infinitive to (action words in research) such as
examine, analyze, determine, assess, evaluate, find out, among others.

4. Specific questions should be stated using the following guide question words: “How,”
“Will,” “What,” “Is there.”

Steps in a Literature Review

After the researcher has formulated the problem statement, he is now ready to initiate
the literature review. There are four steps to be observed:

1. Search preliminary sources. Identify books, articles, professional journals and other
publications that are relevant to the problem.

2. Use secondary sources. These can be found in other researches by other researchers that
have written reviews of literature that may be relevant to your study.
3. Read primary sources. A primary source is a document that can be found in masteral
thesis, dissertation or journal article written by other researchers.

4. Synthesis of the literature. The researcher will write the synthesis about the relevance of
the primary and secondary sources of the reviewed literature to current study. The findings of
various studies to be cited should be compared and contrasted.

In writing the review of related literature, arrange from past to most recent readings.
Make explicit connections between the findings of the reviewed literature and the research
questions, hypotheses and objectives of the study.

The followings guidelines on effective writing of the literature and review can guide
the researcher:

1. Research papers must be written in a formal style, which is in the third person, not the first
person.

2. Avoid highly descriptive writing style, not appropriate for a scholarly research.

3. Use the active voice for direct impact and easy understanding.

4. Avoid the use of jargon; use familiar terms in place of terminologies.

5. Language should be neutral gender, no sexy language like his.

6. Make the conclusions and contradictions found in the literature clear in the report.

7. Use short sentences; avoid elongated and run-on expressions.

8. Use proper grammar and proofread the work.

9. Never plagiarize; give credit to the original author of ideas.

10. Pay attention to the structure and form of published articles, which are good examples of
how literature reviews can be written.
