D. Locale – where the study takes place.
Research Title Guidelines
Effective titles in academic research papers can have several characteristics:
1.Indicate accurately the subject and scope of the study
2.Rarely use abbreviations or acronyms unless they are commonly known
3.Use words that create a positive impression and stimulate reader interest
4.Use current nomenclature from the field of study
5.Identify key variables, both dependent and independent
6.Reveal how the paper will be organized
7.Suggest a relationship between variables which supports the major hypothesis
8.Is limited to 5 to 15 substantive words
9. Does not include redundant phrasing, such as, "A Study of," "An Analysis of" or similar constructions
10. Takes the form of a question or declarative statement
11.If you use a quote as part of the title, the source of the quote is cited [usually using an asterisk and
footnote]
12. Use correct grammar and capitalization with all first words and last words capitalized, including the

B. Teachers – since researches are in the academe, teachers should also be considered.
C. Future Researchers – for other researchers’ replication and modification.
Sampling
The action or process of taking samples of something for analysis.
Slovin’s Formula
Is used to calculate the sample size (n) given the population size (N) and a margin of error (e). -It is
computed as n = N / (1+Ne2).
Frequency Table
In getting the average mean / weighted mean, just multiply the number of responses per rating
component then add all the summarized responses then divide it by the total number of
respondents.
Dichotomous
In getting the yes or no average / weighted mean, one plus the total number of yes responses
divided by the total number of respondents.
Pie Chart
In getting the percentage in pie, just identify the total number of responses for a certain criterion
then divide it by the total number of respondents and finally multiply it by one hundred.
