Table of Contents

What is the scope and delimitation of a research paper.

The “Scope and Delimitation” section states the concepts and variables your study covered. It tells readers which things you have included and excluded in your analysis.

This portion tells two things: 1

• The study’s “Scope” – concepts and variables you have explored in your research and;
• The study’s “Delimitation” – the “boundaries” of your study’s scope. It sets apart the things included in your analysis from those excluded.

For example, your scope might be the effectiveness of plant leaves in lowering blood sugar levels. You can “delimit” your study only to the effect of gabi leaves on the blood glucose of Swiss mice.

Where Should I Put the Scope and Delimitation?

This portion is in Chapter 1, usually after the “Background of the Study.”

Why Should I Write the Scope and Delimitation of My Research Paper?

There’s a lot to discover in a research paper or thesis. However, your resources and time dedicated to it are scarce. Thus, given these constraints, you have to narrow down your study. You do this in the Scope and Delimitation.

Suppose you’re studying the correlation between the quantity of organic fertilizer and plant growth . Experimenting with several types of plants is impossible because of several limitations. So, you’ve decided to use one plant type only. 

Informing your readers about this decision is a must. So, you have to state it in your Scope and Delimitation. It also acts as a “disclaimer” that your results are inapplicable to the entire plant kingdom.

What Is the Difference Between Delimitation and Limitation?

People often use the terms “Delimitation” and “Limitation” interchangeably. However, these words differ 2 .

Delimitation refers to factors you set to limit your analysis. It delineates those that are included in your research and those that are excluded. Remember, delimitations are within your control. 

Meanwhile, limitations are factors beyond your control that may affect your research’s results.  You can think of limitations as the “weaknesses” of your study. 

Let’s go back to our previous example. Due to some constraints, you’ve only decided to examine one plant type: dandelions. This is an example of a delimitation since it limits your analysis to dandelions only and not other plant types. Note that the number of plant types used is within your control. 

Meanwhile, your study cannot state that a higher quantity of organic fertilizer is the sole reason for plant growth. That’s because your research’s focus is only on correlation. Since this is already beyond your control, then this is a limitation. 

How To Write Scope and Delimitation: Step-by-Step Guide

To write your research’s Scope and Delimitation section, follow these steps:

1. Review Your Study’s Objectives and Problem Statement

Your study’s coverage relies on its objectives. Thus, you can only write this section if you know what you’re researching. Furthermore, ensure that you understand the problems you ought to answer. 

Once you understand the abovementioned things, you may start writing your study’s Scope and Delimitation.

2. State the Key Information To Explain Your Study’s Coverage and Boundaries

a. The Main Objective of the Research

This refers to the concept that you’re focusing on in your research. Some examples are the following:

• level of awareness or satisfaction of a particular group of people
• correlation between two variables
• effectiveness of a new product
• comparison between two methods/approaches
• lived experiences of several individuals

It’s helpful to consult your study’s Objectives or Statement of the Problem section to determine your research’s primary goal.

b. Independent and Dependent Variables Included

Your study’s independent variable is the variable that you manipulate. Meanwhile, the dependent variable is the variable whose result depends upon the independent variable. Both of these variables must be clear and specific when indicated. 

Suppose you study the relationship between social media usage and students’ language skills. These are the possible variables for the study:

• Independent Variable: Number of hours per day spent on using Facebook
• Dependent Variable: Grade 10 students’ scores in Quarterly Examination in English. 

Note how specific the variables stated above are. For the independent variable, we narrow it down to Facebook only. Since there are many ways to assess “language skills,” we zero in on the students’ English exam scores as our dependent variable. 

c. Subject of the Study

This refers to your study’s respondents or participants. 

In our previous example, the research participants are Grade 10 students. However, there are a lot of Grade 10 students in the Philippines. Thus, we have to select from a specific school only—for instance, Grade 10 students from a national high school in Manila. 

d. Timeframe and Location of the Study

Specify the month(s), quarter(s), or year(s) as the duration of your study. Also, indicate where you will gather the data required for your research. 

e. Brief Description of the Study’s Research Design and Methodology

You may also include whether your research is quantitative or qualitative, the sampling method (cluster, stratified, purposive) applied, and how you conducted the experiment.

Using our previous example, the Grade 10 students can be selected using stratified sampling. Afterward, the researchers may obtain their English quarterly exam scores from their respective teachers. You can add these things to your study’s Scope and Delimitation. 

3. Indicate Which Variables or Factors Are Not Covered by Your Research

Although you’ve already set your study’s coverage and boundaries in Step 2, you may also explicitly mention things you’ve excluded from your research. 

Returning to our previous example, you can state that your assessment will not include the vocabulary and oral aspects of the English proficiency skill.

Scope and Delimitation

(Main Objective)

This study assessed the correlation between the respondents’ duration of Facebook usage and their English proficiency level. 

(Variables used)

The researchers used the number of hours per day of using Facebook and the activities usually performed on the platform to assess the respondents’ extent of Facebook usage. Meanwhile, the respondents’ English proficiency level is limited to their quarterly English exam scores. 

(Subject of the study)

A sample of fifty (50) Grade 10 students of Matagumpay High School served as the study’s respondents. 

(Timeframe and location)

This study was conducted during the Second Semester of the School Year 2018 – 2019 on the premises of Matagumpay High School in Metro Manila. 

(Methodology)

The respondents are selected by performing stratified random sampling to ensure that there will be ten respondents from five Grade 10 classes of the school mentioned above. The researchers administered a 20-item questionnaire to assess the extent of Facebook usage of the selected respondents. Meanwhile, the data for the respondents’ quarterly exam scores were acquired from their English teachers. The collected data are handled with the utmost confidentiality. Spearman’s Rank Order Correlation was applied to quantitatively assess the correlation between the variables.

(Exclusions)

This study didn’t assess other aspects of the respondents’ English proficiency, such as English vocabulary and oral skills. 

Note: The words inside the parentheses in the example above are guides only. They are not included in the actual text.

b. Example 2

  Level of Satisfaction of Grade 11 Students on the Implementation of the Online Learning Setup of Matagumpay High School for SY 2020 – 2021

This study aims to identify students’ satisfaction levels with implementing online learning setups during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Students’ satisfaction was assessed according to teachers’ pedagogy, school policies, and learning materials used in the online learning setup. The respondents included sixty (60) Grade 11 students of Matagumpay High School who were randomly picked. The researchers conducted the study from October 2020 to February 2021. 

Online platforms such as email and social media applications were used to reach the respondents. The researchers administered a 15-item online questionnaire to measure the respondents’ satisfaction levels. Each response was assessed using a Likert Scale to provide a descriptive interpretation of their answers. A weighted mean was applied to determine the respondents’ general satisfaction. 

This study did not cover other factors related to the online learning setup, such as the learning platform used, the schedule of synchronous learning, and channels for information dissemination.

10 Tips for Beginners in Tagalog Writing

• by Amiel Pineda

Mastering the Tagalog Alphabet

To begin writing in Tagalog, learn the 20-letter alphabet, which includes unique letters such as NG and Ñ. Practice correct spelling and punctuation to avoid misunderstandings.

Understanding Sentence Structure

Tagalog sentences follow a subject-verb-object structure. Use particle markers like Ang , ng , and sa to clarify meaning. For example, "Ang mga estudyante ay nag-aral sa silid" (The students are studying in the room).

Building Vocabulary

Organize words by theme to build your vocabulary. Focus on common words and use flashcards to aid memorization. For instance, learn words related to food, such as "kanin" (rice), "tinapay" (bread), and "prutas" (fruit).

By mastering these basics, you'll be well on your way to crafting engaging sentences and conveying your message with clarity in Tagalog.

Mastering Tagalog Alphabet Basics

The Tagalog Alphabet: A Foundation for Effective Communication

The Tagalog alphabet is based on the Latin alphabet and consists of 20 letters, including the unique characters NG and Ñ . Mastering the pronunciation of the 14 consonants and 3 vowels is crucial, as each letter typically represents a syllable.

Understanding Diacritics

Familiarity with diacritics is essential, as they can modify vowel sounds and affect the meaning of words. For example, the diacritic ' (acute accent) can change the pronunciation of a vowel, such as in the word pítik , which means "to pick."

Practicing Writing and Pronunciation

Regular practice of writing and pronouncing Tagalog words is vital for achieving fluency and understanding of the language's structure. This practice helps build a solid foundation in Tagalog vocabulary and enables effective communication.

For instance, practicing the correct pronunciation of the letter NG can help you distinguish between words like lang (meaning "only") and nang (meaning "when").

Mastering the Tagalog Alphabet Basics

Mastering the Tagalog alphabet basics is key to unlocking the doors to effective communication in Tagalog. By focusing on the correct pronunciation and usage of each letter, you'll be well on your way to becoming proficient in writing Tagalog.

Understanding Tagalog Sentence Structure

Tagalog sentence structure is primarily based on a subject-verb-object (SVO) order , making it simpler than English in terms of grammatical complexity.

Key Elements of Tagalog Sentence Structure

Particle markers are used to indicate the subject, possession, and location or direction. "Ang" is used to indicate the subject, "ng" for possession, and "sa" for location or direction. For example, "Ang libro ay sa mesa" means "The book is on the table."

Word order flexibility allows for adjusting the word order to emphasize different elements within a sentence. This flexibility enables expression of different nuances in meaning. For instance, "Kumain ako ng bigas" can become "Ng bigas ako kumain" to emphasize the object "bigas" (rice).

Formal vs. Casual Writing

Formal writing in Tagalog tends to follow a more structured sentence format, while casual conversation permits greater leniency in word order. For example, formal writing might use "Ang mga estudyante ay nag-aaral ng mga assignment" (The students are studying their assignments), while casual conversation might use "Nag-aaral ng mga assignment ang mga estudyante."

Mastering Sentence Structure

Mastering Tagalog sentence structure is essential for effective communication, as it affects clarity and understanding in both spoken and written forms.

Accurate sentence structure helps convey intended meaning and avoids misunderstandings.

Effective Use of Markers and Modifiers

Mastering Tagalog Markers and Modifiers

Understanding the Ang Marker

The ang marker is used to indicate the subject of a sentence, emphasizing the focus of the statement. For instance, "Ang bata ay naglalakad" (The child is walking) highlights the child as the main subject.

Ng Marker: Denoting Possession

The ng marker denotes possession, such as "ang libro ng bata" (the child's book) . This marker helps clarify the ownership of an object.

Sa Marker: Indicating Location, Direction, Time, or Beneficiary

The sa marker indicates location, direction, time, or beneficiary in a sentence. For example, "Nagpunta siya sa parke" (He/She went to the park) shows the location of the action.

Gender-Neutral Language and Pronouns

Filipino is a gender-neutral language, and the pronoun "siya" serves as a universal reference for both male and female subjects.

Correctly using markers and modifiers helps clarify the context of the action and conveys the intended meaning.

Building Your Tagalog Vocabulary Fast

Organize Your Vocabulary

Organizing your vocabulary by themes, such as family, travel, and food, helps you quickly recall words related to specific contexts. For example, grouping words like "mother" (nanay), "father" (tatay), and "siblings" (mga kapatid) together under the theme "family" makes it easier to remember them.

Use Flashcards

Using flashcards, whether digital or physical, is an effective way to review and reinforce newly learned vocabulary regularly, enhancing retention. Create flashcards with the Tagalog word on one side and the English translation on the other .

Practice with Native Speakers

Engaging in language exchanges with native speakers through platforms like Italki or HelloTalk provides practical application of vocabulary in real-life conversations. This helps you learn how to use new vocabulary in context and get feedback on your pronunciation .

Learn Common Words

Learning the 1000 most common Tagalog words establishes a solid foundation for basic conversational skills and improves overall fluency. This includes words like "hello" (kumusta), "goodbye" (paalam), and "thank you" (salamat) .

Practice Pronunciation

Practicing pronunciation by listening to Tagalog media, such as songs or podcasts, associates vocabulary with correct sounds and usage. Listen to native speakers and repeat the words to improve your pronunciation .

Learn in Context

Focusing on learning Tagalog words in context, rather than just memorizing individual words, helps you understand how to use them correctly in sentences. For example, learning the word "kain" (to eat) in the context of a sentence like "Kumain ako ng kanin" (I ate rice) helps you understand its meaning and usage .

Crafting Engaging Tagalog Sentences Easily

Mastering Tagalog Sentence Structure

To craft engaging Tagalog sentences, start by understanding the subject-verb-object (SVO) sentence structure, similar to English. Use the particle marker "ang" to clearly indicate the subject of your sentences , enhancing clarity and focus.

Expanding Vocabulary with Affixes

Incorporate affixes to root words to expand your vocabulary and create nuanced meanings. This technique can change a word's aspect from noun to verb or adjective , adding depth to your sentences.

For example, repeating root words can convey intensity or prolonged action , such as "takbo-takbo" (run-run).

Crafting Contextually Rich Sentences

Practice combining thematic vocabulary, like family or travel, to create contextually rich sentences that reflect everyday conversational patterns in Tagalog. This approach helps craft sentences that flow naturally and engage your readers .

Overcoming Common Tagalog Writing Mistakes

Mastering Tagalog Writing: Avoiding Common Mistakes

When writing in Tagalog, accuracy is key to conveying your message effectively. Incorrect use of diacritics can alter the meaning of words, leading to confusion. For example, "pino" (pine) and "piño" (pineapple) are two distinct words with different meanings, highlighting the importance of proper diacritic application.

Sentence structure is crucial in Tagalog, with the standard subject-verb-object (SVO) order. Deviating from this structure can change the meaning of sentences. For instance, "Ang bata ay naglalaro sa parke" (The child is playing in the park) follows the correct SVO order, whereas "Naglalaro ang bata sa parke" (Playing the child in the park) is incorrect and confusing.

Marker misuse can significantly change the intended message. In Tagalog, "ang" indicates focus, "ng" indicates possession, and "sa" indicates location. Using the correct markers is essential, as demonstrated in the following examples: "Ang lalaki ay kumakain ng bigas sa mesa" (The man is eating rice on the table), where "ang" focuses on the man, "ng" indicates possession of rice, and "sa" indicates the location of the table.

Verb conjugation and spelling require attention, especially when using borrowed English words. For instance, the English verb "to file" becomes "mag-file" in Tagalog, with the correct spelling and conjugation.

Similarly, "kompyuter" (computer) has a distinct spelling and pronunciation in Tagalog.

Tagalog Writing Tips for Better Clarity

Mastering Tagalog Writing for Clarity

Focus on Sentence Structure and Grammatical Markers

To take your Tagalog writing to the next level, focus on sentence structure and grammatical markers. Master the use of "ang," "ng," and "sa" to clarify the subject, possession, and location in your sentences . For example, "Ang libro ay sa mesa" (The book is on the table) correctly uses the markers "ang" and "sa" to convey the subject and location.

Ensure Correct Spelling, Punctuation, and Grammatical Structures

Ensure correct spelling and punctuation, as these elements are crucial for conveying meaning accurately in Tagalog writing. Familiarize yourself with common grammatical structures , as Tagalog follows a subject-verb-object order similar to English, which aids in sentence clarity. For instance, "Kumakain ako ng mga prutas" (I am eating fruits) follows the correct subject-verb-object order.

Use Diacritics Appropriately

Use diacritics appropriately to distinguish meanings and enhance the readability of your writing . Diacritics can significantly alter the interpretation of words and phrases. For example, "pítik" (to pick) and "pitik" (to tick) have different meanings due to the diacritic mark.

Practice Writing for Improved Clarity

Regularly practice writing sentences and paragraphs to reinforce your understanding of Tagalog syntax and improve overall writing clarity. By following these tips, you'll be well on your way to producing clear, concise, and effective Tagalog writing that effectively conveys your message.

Enhancing Your Tagalog Reading Comprehension

Mastering 500 root words is essential for building a strong foundation in Tagalog reading comprehension . These common words and phrases are a great starting point for language learners. Building a strong vocabulary is crucial when learning a new language.

To improve your reading skills, start with simple texts . Begin with children's books or basic articles to gradually improve your understanding of sentence structure and word order. This will help you become familiar with how sentences are constructed and how words are used in context.

Utilize bilingual resources to aid in translation and comprehension . Tagalog-English dictionaries and vocabulary lists can help you translate and understand unfamiliar terms while reading. These resources can provide instant clarification when you encounter unknown words.

Multimedia content can enhance your listening skills and reinforce reading comprehension . Listen to Tagalog songs, podcasts, or YouTube videos to improve your listening skills and contextual understanding. This will help you recognize words and phrases when you encounter them in written texts.

Joining a language community can provide valuable feedback and support . Discuss readings and receive feedback from others in online forums or community groups focused on Tagalog language learning. This will help you improve your comprehension skills and stay motivated.

Developing Your Unique Tagalog Writing Style

To develop a unique Tagalog writing style, start by mastering the simplicity of Tagalog sentence structure . This involves using the subject-verb-object (SVO) word order to create clear and coherent sentences. For example, "Ang lalaki ay kumakain ng bigas" (The man is eating rice).

Practice constructing sentences in this order to ensure clarity and precision .

Experimenting with Affixes and Markers

Expand your vocabulary and enhance your writing style by experimenting with affixes . In Tagalog, affixes can modify root words to convey different meanings. For instance, adding the prefix "ka-" to the root word "tulong" (help) creates "katulong" (helper).

Incorporate markers like ang, ng, and sa to clarify sentence focus and convey relationships between nouns . For example, "Ang libro ay nasa mesa" (The book is on the table).

Reading and Feedback

Read Tagalog literature, poetry, and essays to inspire and understand various writing styles . This will help shape your unique voice and tone.

Share your work with language partners and ask for feedback to refine your writing . Constructive feedback will aid in developing a writing style that's authentic, engaging, and truly yours.

Which language do you want to learn?

Academic and Research Vocabulary in Tagalog

When learning a new language, understanding the specific vocabulary used in academic and research contexts can significantly enhance your ability to engage with scholarly materials and participate in educational discussions. Tagalog, the basis of the Filipino language, is rich with terms and phrases that are critical in academic settings. This article explores important academic and research vocabulary in Tagalog, providing you with the tools needed to thrive in scholarly environments where Tagalog is used.

Understanding Academic Contexts

In academic settings, the language used often pertains to discussion, analysis, and evaluation. Knowing key phrases can help you understand and contribute to academic conversations in Tagalog.

Pag-aaral (study) and pananaliksik (research) are two foundational terms. For instance, if someone says, “Ang pag-aaral na ito ay naglalayong suriin ang epekto ng social media sa pag-uugali ng mga kabataan.” (This study aims to examine the impact of social media on the behavior of the youth.), they are likely referring to an academic investigation.

Another common term is teorya (theory), as in “Mahalaga ang teorya ni Darwin sa pag-unlad ng siyentipikong kaisipan.” (Darwin’s theory is important in the development of scientific thought.)

Engaging in Research

When engaging in research, it’s crucial to understand terms related to methodology and evidence. Metodolohiya (methodology) and ebedensya (evidence) are regularly used in academic Tagalog.

For instance, “Mahalaga ang metodolohiya sa pagtiyak ng katumpakan ng pananaliksik.” (Methodology is crucial to ensure the accuracy of the research.) This emphasizes the role of methods in scholarly work.

Evidence, or ebedensya , is also a staple in research discussions: “Ang ebedensya mula sa eksperimento ay sumusuporta sa ipinapalagay ng teorya.” (The evidence from the experiment supports the theory’s assumption.)

Academic Discussions and Arguments

Participating in academic discussions requires a grasp of how to present and argue ideas. Argumento (argument) and pangangatwiran (reasoning) are critical.

A typical way to present an argument in Tagalog might be, “Ang pangunahing argumento ng papel ay ang pagbabago ng klima ay bunga ng mga gawain ng tao.” (The main argument of the paper is that climate change is a result of human activities.)

Reasoning, or pangangatwiran , is similarly essential: “Ang kanyang pangangatwiran sa pagtutol sa batas ay hindi sapat.” (His reasoning for opposing the law is insufficient.)

Scientific and Technical Terms

In science and technology, specific vocabulary is often used. Terms like hipotesis (hypothesis), variable , and analisis (analysis) are common.

Discussing hypotheses in Tagalog might involve: “Ang hipotesis ng pag-aaral ay ang pagtaas ng temperatura ay nakakaapekto sa bilis ng kemikal na reaksyon.” (The hypothesis of the study is that the increase in temperature affects the speed of the chemical reaction.)

Analysis is another frequently used term: “Ginagamit ang analisis ng data upang makagawa ng mga konklusyon sa pananaliksik.” (Data analysis is used to make conclusions in research.)

Conclusion and Further Study

Concluding academic work and suggesting areas for further study are also key aspects of academic discourse. Konklusyon (conclusion) and rekomendasyon (recommendation) are vital terms.

A typical conclusion might be phrased as, “Ang konklusyon ng pag-aaral ay nagpapahiwatig na may malakas na ugnayan sa pagitan ng paggamit ng teknolohiya at pagkaantala ng wika sa mga bata.” (The conclusion of the study indicates that there is a strong correlation between technology use and language delay in children.)

Recommendations for further study are often included in academic papers: “Ang rekomendasyon para sa karagdagang pag-aaral ay ang pagsusuri sa mga pangmatagalang epekto ng pagbabago ng klima.” (The recommendation for further study is to examine the long-term effects of climate change.)

Mastering the academic and research vocabulary in Tagalog not only enhances your understanding of scholarly texts but also aids in actively participating in academic discussions. By familiarizing yourself with these key terms and phrases, you can effectively navigate the world of academia and research in a Tagalog-speaking environment. Whether you’re a student, researcher, or just a language enthusiast, these insights will serve as a valuable addition to your linguistic toolkit.
