What is Hypothesis?

It is a wise guess prepared and temporarily adopted to explain the observed factors covered by the study.  

It is a tentative conclusion or answer to a specific question raised at the beginning of the investigation.

Hypothesis helps the researcher in designing the study such as the methods, research instruments, and sampling design to be used as well as the data to be gathered. It also use as bases for determining assumptions and for the explanation about the data gathered.

Forms of Hypothesis

1. Operational Form – It is stated in the affirmative.  It states that there is a difference between two phenomena

2. Null Form – It is stated in the negative. It states that there is no difference between the two phenomena. It is more commonly used.

Examples:

Question:
Is there any significant difference between the perceptions of the teachers and those of the students concerning the different aspects in the teaching of science?

Operational hypothesis
There is a significant difference between the perceptions of the teachers and those of the students concerning the different aspects in the teaching of science.

Null hypothesis
There is no significant difference between the perceptions of the teachers and those of the students concerning the different aspects in the teaching of science.

What is Research?

                Research is defined as a careful, systematic study in a field of knowledge, undertaken to discover or establish facts or principles. It is also defined as a systematic process of collecting and analysing data to find an answer to a question or a solution to a problem, to validate or test an existing theory.

General Types of Research

                Research can be classified into three general categories; descriptive research, correlation or association research and experimental or intervention research.

Descriptive Research

        The descriptive type of study finds an answer to the questions who, what, when, where and how. 

This type of research describes a situation or a given state of affairs in terms of specified aspects or factors. What may be described are characteristics of individuals or groups (farmers, students, administrators, entrepreneurs, patients, etc.), or conditions ( epidemic, calamities, leadership styles, anxiety level, sales and profit, productivity, etc)

The following examples of research topics in specific areas fall under the descriptive type.

      The management style of school administrators in Midsayap, North Cotabato.

      Marketing practices of the loom weaving industry in Region XII.

Explanatory or Correlation Research

                An explanatory study goes beyond description of a problem or situation. It attempts to explain the possible factors related to a problem which has been observed in a descriptive study. This type of study answers the questions why and how? The factors related to the problem, however, need not be viewed as real causes of the problem, but factors which are associated with or may contribute to the occurrence of the problem.

The researcher usually uses a theory or a hypothesis to account for or explain the forces that are “assumed to have caused” the problem.

The following examples of research topics fall under the explanatory or correlation category.

      Marketing strategies and Sales Performance of garment Industries in the province of North Cotabato.

      Employment and Income As Determinants of Loan Repayment Status of Borrowers of Credit Cooperatives in Midsayap, North Cotabato

Intervention or Experimental Research

                A type of research evaluates the effect or outcome of a particular intervention or treatment. It studies the “cause and effect” relationship between certain factors on a certain phenomenon under controlled conditions. The subjects of the study are randomly assigned to the experimental group and to the control group and both groups are exposed to similar conditions except for the intervention/treatment.

The following research problems are examples of intervention/ experimental type of research.

      Advertising: Its effect on Sales and Profit of Auto Parts Business Establishment in Midsayap”.

      The impact of the Midsayap Microfinance Projects on the Living Conditions of the Beneficiaries.”

How To Write Your Paper

Your thesis paper documents your work and can serve as a basis for a publishable paper. The most common mistake made by thesis students is to assume that the thesis itself will be easy to write. Consequently, they postpone writing until they have completed their programming. By the time they produce an acceptable copy, they find that a term or two of school has slipped by and they still have not graduated. Important advice is to start writing early and ask your thesis advisor for feedback on your writing. Equally important, do not plagiarize. Plagiarism can result in expulsion from school. You are expected to write your own paper, not copy from what someone else has written. It is okay to use other people's ideas, even their own words, but you must clearly reference their work. Your paper should describe what you did and why you did it.
Everyone makes spelling mistakes, but with spelling checker programs available this type of error should be eliminated. Always run your written work through a spelling checker before you ask someone else to read it. Also, you should find someone who can correct grammatical mistakes in your paper. If necessary, hire someone from the English Department or Language Institute to correct your work before you give it to your advisor.

NOTE:

How to write your paper.

 

Do not plagiarize!

Write a proposal that includes a statement of the problem under study, the software requirements, an indication of how the problem will be solved, and a survey of related literature.

Use a spelling checker.

Have someone proofread your paper for grammatical errors.

Write a requirements document that states the requirements your program must meet.

How to write your program. 

 

Write specification, preliminary design, and detailed design documents that precisely define what the requirements are and how your program will meet the requirements.

Write the comments first.

Build a scaffold, which can be removed, that supports the construction of your program.

Write a user's guide, maintenance manual, and test suite.

Use a program document formatter such as WEB.

How to Make a Perfect Thesis Proposal

Thesis proposal is a paper that aims to provide your suggestions on research you intend to conduct. To write a good thesis proposal, you should think over every issue very carefully and state your thoughts about it on paper.

Making good and qualitative thesis proposals requires being aware of what steps to take. That is why we are eager to present you these steps:

* Choose the problem under consideration. It can be any problem, hypothesis or research question that has never been considered before. Formulate the topic of your thesis proposal;
* Think why your research will be important. Mind that your thesis proposal is a kind of admission to conducting your research. If you do not manage to convince your supervisor in its significance, you may be not allowed to investigate the topic of your thesis proposal chosen;

* Get to know about the prior research of your topic. Perhaps, anyone has touched upon your problem, but it was not covered fully. Tell about it in your thesis proposal;
* Choose the most feasible and applicable methods. It is extremely important for your thesis proposal to present the chosen methodology clearly and comprehensibly, as you are being awaited to demonstrate your research abilities. You can reveal them only by means of applicable methods of investigation;
* Tell about the possible outcomes of your research. In this part of your thesis proposal you should also explain the importance of the results obtained.

In spite of everything, the most challenging task is the choice of your thesis proposal topic. Your research starts with it. That is why you have to try your best to choose the most exclusive and unique topic for your thesis proposal that would give promise of extended study.
