It is the gateway to the contents of a scientific article. It is usually the first part of a manuscript that the editos and reviewers read. After publication, it is the first (and many a times, also the only) part of an article that readers see.

Quantitative research design is the most reliable and valid way of concluding results, giving way to a new hypothesis or to disproving the hypothesis.

Qualitative and quantitative research designs cannot be combined

Titles are typically categorized into four types:

Generally, the smaller the geographic unit of analysis, the more narrow the focus (e.g., rather than study trade relations in West Africa, study trade relations between Niger and Cameroon as a case study that helps to explain problems in the region).

Descriptive Study on the Used of Student Service the University

Correlation of Admission Test Results of High School Graduates under ALS and those under the Regular DEPED System of Schooling

Makes you focus your mind on specific things by means of statistics that involve collection and study of numerical data.

Seeks to assess or judge in some way, providing information about something other than might be gleaned in mere observation or investigation of relationship.

TYPES OF RESEARCH DESIGNS

When two or more strategies are used to narrow a topic, the researcher employs this strategy.

The shorter the time period of the study, the more narrow the focus (e.g., study of trade relations between Niger and Cameroon during the period of 2010-2018).

Apt to be longer and accentuate the outcome of the study, for example: "Blendid Learning implementation in essentially not a matter of following a trend but a necessity".

The way in which you gather information can reduce the domain of interpretive analysis needed to address the research problem (e.g., a single case study can be designed to generate data that dies not require as extensive an explanation as using multiple cases).

Those that cause, influence, or affect outcomes. They are invariably called treatment, manipulatedz antecedent or predictor variables.

The focus is the specific type or class of people, places, or phenomena.

Generally aimed to catch the reader's attention, e.g., "is blended learning implementation merely a matter of following a trend or a necessity?"

Uses numbers in stating generalizations about a given problem or inquiry in contrast to qualitative research that hardly used statistical treatment in stating generalizations.

Is the label given to a study when a researcher cannot controlz manipulate or alter the predictor variable or subjects, but instead, relies on interpretation, observation or interactions to come to a conclusion.

Here are some things to consider in choosing a topic:

Techniques in Narrowing down a broad topic

Also called hanging titles, are those made using a colon (e.g. The use of short stories to develop writing competence: student's perception).

A characteristic of an individual or organization that can be observed and measured; it can vary among people of organizations and studies

Choose one lens through which to view the research problem, or look at just one facet of it (e.g., rather than studying the role of food in South Asian religious rituals, study the role of food in Hindu ceremonies, or, the role of one particular type of food among several religions).

Usually descriptive or correlational, which means that you are either describing a situation or phenomenon simply as it stands, or you are describing a relationship between two or more variables, all without any interference from the researcher.

An approach you can use to solve a research problem.

An important part of the article. It condenses article content in a few words and captures reader's attention. A good ___ for a research article is the one which, on its own, is able to introduce the research work to the fullest extent, but in a conscise manner. Writing scientific ___ that are informative and attractive is a challenging task.

Some strategies to help narrow your topic:

This that show the effects or results or outcomes of the influence of the independent variable.

Banana Peel as Alternative Vinegar

Use numbers in stating generalizations about a given problem or inquiry in contrast to qualitative research designs that hardly use statistical treatment in stating generalizations.

A product of real world observations, dilemmas, wide reading, selective viewing (television programs, films, documentaries, videos, etc.) meaningful interactions with significant others, and deep reflection.

Used when the researcher intends to provide a quantitative or numeric description of trends, attitudes or opinions of a population by studying a sample of that population.

Ask yourself how to two or more different perspectives or variables relate to one another. Designing a study around the relationships between specific variables can help constrict the scope of analysis (e.g., cause/effect, compare/contrast, contemporary/historical, group/individual, male/female, opinion/reason, problem/solution).

A good title should.

Those that are not actually measured but they exist. Researchers comment on the influence of confounding variables, after the study has been completed because those variables may have operated to explain the relationships between the independent and dependent variables.

Impact of Blendid Learning in Students Enrolled in English I

Is too broad to be manageable when you find that you have too many different z and oftentimes conflicting or only remotely related, ideas about how to investigate the research problem.

Most titles are "____" capturing the main theme of the paper (e.g. Using short stories to develop learner's writing competence).

A quantitative research requires much larger numbers of respondents than qualitative research.

Those that are in-between the independent and dependent variables, that us, showing the effects of the independent variable on the dependent variable.

Effectiveness of Euphorbia Plant as Mosquito Repellant

In this strategy, the researcher chooses one lens through which to view the research problem, or look at just one facet of it.

Those that the researcher chooses to study in order to assess their possible effects on one or more other variables.

Presumed to affect (at least partly cause) or somehow influence at least one other variable.

A type of experimental design where the researcher randomly assigns test units and treatments to the experimental groups.

If the researcher wants to study the season-related illnesses of the people in Alaska during winter season, what strategy is employed?

This allows the researcher to control the situation. In doing so, it allows the researcher to answer the question, "What causes something to occur?" this kind of research allows the researcher to identify cause and effect relationships between variables and to distinguish placebo effects from treatment effefts. Further, this research design supports the ability to limit alternative explanations and to infer direct causal relationships in the study; the approach provides the highest degree level of evidence for single studies.

The simplest form of research design. In a pre-experiment either a single group or multiple groups are observed subsequent to some agent or treatment presumed to cause change.

Is a study that strictly adheres to a scientific research design. It includes a hypothesis, a variable that can be manipulated by the researcher, and a variables that can be measured, calculated and compare. Most importantly, experimental research is completed in a controlled environment.

The variable that the independent variable is presumed to affect is called a ___.

In this kind of design, the researcher observes the phenomena as they occur naturally and no external variables are introduced. In this research design, the variables are not deliberately manipulated nor is the setting controlled. Researchers cokect data without making changes or introducing treatments. This may also called as DESCRIPTIVE RESEARCH DESIGN because it is only one under ______. It's main purpose is to observe, describe and document aspects of a situation as it naturally occurs and sometimes to serve as a starting point for hypothesis generation or theory development.

Results of a Prescribed Daily Diet on the Sugar Count of Diabetic Patients

The research problem or inquiry in capsule form. Great care must be taken in the formulation of the research title. It must clearly reflect the topic of investigation and it mut be original, clear, concise, or specific.

Exploring and understanding the meaning individuals or groups ascribe to a social or human problem.

Those that are measured in a study because they potentially influence the dependent variable, using statistical procedures like analysis or covariance to control these variable.

In common sense terms, the ____ "depends on" what the independent variable does to it, how it affects it.

A very essential component of a research paper because it serves four things. First, it predicts content. Second, it catches the reader's interest. Third, it reveals the nature or genre of the manuscript. Fourth, it contains keywords that will make it easy to access by a computer search.

You will be spending a lot of time learning about the subject, so it should be something that you want to know more about.

A internet test search willhelp to determine how much information is available on your topic.

Involves comparing and contrasting two or more samples of study subjects on one or more variables, often at a single point of time.

Effects of Coaching on the Academic Performance of Grade XII Students in Mathematics

Involves the manipulation of an independent variable without the random assignment of participants to conditions or orders of conditions.

This strategy focused on the relationship of two variables or perspectives.

A type of non-experimental research method, in which a researcher measures two variablesz understands and assesses the statistical relationship between them with no influence from any extraneous variable.

Take time to read some of the information out there in the topic, and to try out different searchs.

An approach to inquiry that combines both qualitative and quantitative forms.

Qualitative research refers to research investigations of the quality of relationships, activities, situations, or materials.

Explore the library's resources to see what kind of results you get. If the topic is too big, you may need to narrow it down; it is is too specific, you mag need to expand your search.

Use two or more of the above strategies to focus your topic very narrowly.

Focus your topic in terms of a specific type or class of people, places, or phenomena (e.g., a study of developing safer traffic patterns near schools can focus on SUVs, or just student drivers, or just the timing of traffic signals in the area).

Testing objective theories by examining the relationship among variable.

Determine if your initial variable or unit of analysis can be broken into smaller parts, which can then be analyzed more precisely (e.g., a study of tobacco use among adolescents can focus on just chewing tobacco rather than all forms of usage or, rather than adolescents in general, focus on female adolescents in a certain age range who choose to use tobacco).

Impact of Cooperative Stores on a Selected Barangay

____ supports this by accentuating that a research paper title condenses the manuscript's content in a few words and captures reader's attention.
