Background > Statement > Objectives
A. Background of the StudyAccording to Ross and Lima (1994) , allometric relationships are better tools since they are methodologically non-destructive for the animal population.
B. Statement of the ProblemWhat is the relationship between shell dimension and live tissue weights of Pholas Orientalis ?
C. General Objective of the StudyTo determine the allometric relationship between shell dimension (length, height, width) and weight parameters (live weight, wet soft tissue weight, dry tissue weight) of Pholas Orientalis.
IT MAY BE IN STATEMENT OR QUESTION FORM.
What is the relationship between shell dimensions and
lives and tissue weights of Pholas
Orientalis?
The possibility of propagating the
threemangrove species namely, Ceriops
decandra, Bruguiera parviflora, and
Bruguiera sexangula is using various methods
of tissiue culture is investigated.
Research problem indicates unambiguously the what and how
of the research by using...
Declarative sentences like:
• “The purpose of this study is to…”
Or questions such as:
• “What is the relationship between…”;
• “Is there a significant difference between…”;
• How do…”;• What is…”.
Key terms in the statement of the problem indicate the type of Research..
Relationship problems that indicate correlation studies
What is the relationship between iron
intake and the hemoglobin level
of dogs (Canis lupus familiaris)?
What is the relationship between the density and
refractive index of virgin coconut
(Cocos nucifera) oil?
Relationship problems that indicate studies of differences
Is the amylase activity different in two species of tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) ?
Is there a difference in the protein content of goat’s (Capra hircus) milk and carabao’s (Bubalus bubalis) milk ?
Problems that indicate cause- and –effect relationships
Will starving increase the amylase activity of tilapia(Oreochromis niloticus)
Is there a difference in the amount of dissolved oxygen between the water samples treated with seaweeds (Kappaphycus alvarezii) and that which is not treated?
Problems involving Developmental Studies
This study aims to develop a PSHSWV web-based dormer’s traffic log with parent alert.
The study dealt with the design of a prototype robot designed to move by following a black line on the floor and help the bedridden and/or on ambulant elderly by delivering water at four predetermined times a day.
Problems involving Descriptive Studies
This study investigates the flight characteristics of mahogany (Swietenia mahogani) seeds with respect to the structural properties of the seeds.
What is the water quality and the taxonomy, relative abundance and species diversity of diatoms present in selected areas of Badbaran River in Dumarao, Capiz?
What’s in a Statement of the Problem?
-What are the variables?
-What will be measured?
-What relationships or effects will be
examined?
-To what group will your result be
generalizable (the population) ?
What’s in a Statement of the Problem?
- What/who are the subjects of the study ?
(give scientific name if
applicable)
- What test organisms are
involved? (give scientific name if applicable)
-What is the locale of the study?
-What phenomenon will be studied?
What’s in a Statement of the Problem?
What are the major components of the
design?
What innovative element is present?
Who are the target beneficiaries/ users?
What’s in a statement of problem?
- What are the major components of the design?
- What innovative element is present?
- Who are the target beneficiaries/users?
Statement of the Problem….
should not be general nor too specific
contain sufficient detail and information in a sentence that is clear and succinct
EXAMPLES: ( TOO BROAD! )
The purpose of this is to study seagrasses.
The study investigates the relationship of morphology and habitat of crustaceans.
( TOO SPECIFIC! ) The purpose of this research is to identify the species of
seagrass collected from the shorelines of six towns in Iloilo namely San Joaquin, Tigbauan, Carles, Estancia, Miagao and Dumangas and to describe its demographic characteristics by computing its mean age, gross recruitment, mortality rate and net recruitment; its reproductive dynamics by determining the frequency and seasonality of flowering and its vegetative dynamics by determining the vertical growth rate of shoots and horizontal elongation rate of rhizomes.
This study will describe the community structure of
seagrasses in coastal areas of Iloilo.
STATEMENT OF
PROBLEM SHOULD OR
SHOULD BE…
# Researchable
# Important
# Indicate the type of research
# Clear
The problem should include terms that are
not ambiguous.
The terms effect, effective, achievement, method, role are ambiguous.
