CHAPTER 1:

INTRODUCTION
The introduction to a research can be the most
challenging part of the paper to write. The length of
the introduction will vary depending on the type of
research paper you are writing. An introduction
should announce your topic, provide context and a
rationale for your work, before stating tour research
questions and hypothesis. Well- written
introductions set the tone of the paper, catch the
reader's interest, and communicate the hypothesis
or thesis statement.
THE INTRODUCTION CONSISTS OF
THE FOLLOWING:

1. BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

2. STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
3. SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY ;
and
4. SCOPE AND DELIMITATION
1. BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

— One of the preliminary steps to completing a

thesis is the background study for it. The
background study of the thesis includes a review of
the area being researched, current information
surrounding the issue, and relevant history on the
issue. Ideally, the study should effectively set forth
the history and background information on your
thesis problem. The purpose of the background
study is to help you to prove the relevance of your
thesis question and to further develop your thesis.
2. STATEMENT OF A PROBLEM
—is a concise description on an issue to be
addressed or a condition to be improved upon. It
identifies the gap between the current (problem)
state and desired (goal) state of a process or
product. Focusing on the facts the problem
statement should be designed to address the five
Ws. The first condition of solving a problem is
understanding the problem, which can be one by a
way of a problem statement.
3. SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

— is a part of the introduction of a thesis/research.

It should determine who benefits from the study
and how that specific audience will benefit from its
findings. The significance of the study could be
simply reflected by the following two questions.
Why should my study be published? What
significant scientific contribution is my study making
to my field of research?
4. SCOPE AND DELIMITATION

— Scope and Delimitation are two elements of a

research paper. The scope identifies what topic the
researcher intends to cover. The scope names the
information of subject matter than the individual
plans to evaluate. Delimitations are parameters that
the researcher makes to narrow his or her scope of
research.
Delimitations are conscious choice to control for
certain factors in the study. Since the study cannot
address all relevant elements, delimitations narrow
the scope and purpose to focus on certain aspects.

Limitations are similar to delimitations, but they are

unplanned factors that narrow the scope that the
researcher did not see, and therefore account for,
beforehand.
