PRESENTATION:
CHED-GIA PROPOSAL FORMAT
REVIEW OF THE BASIC PARTS OF THE PROPOSAL
Research is not rearrangement of known knowledge
“If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research, would it?”
Albert Einstein
Research Seeks Out of ordinary solutions
“To an uninspired scientist with a hammer, everything looks like a nail”Albert Einstein
Research Requires Imagination
Imagination is more important than knowledge.– For knowledge is limited to all we now know andunderstand,– while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand
• Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination willtake you everywhere
Albert Einstein
…few TIPS in writing a research proposal for FUNDING…
Fact 1: Reviewers• Your proposal is often read by one or two experts in your field. However, theprogram manager, and perhaps otherreviewers are not experts.• Remedy:
– You must write your proposal for their benefit too.
Fact 2: Overwhelmed Managers• The program managers and panel members often see a large number of proposals
• Remedy:
– You have to grab your reader's attention from the beginning.
Fact 3: Perfection• Your proposal may not be perfectRemedy:
– Keep a humble attitude– Ask people to suggest ways to improve yourproposal. Don’t be defensive• If they misunderstand what you were trying to say, rewrite it to clear the misunderstanding• If they don't immediately see the merit of yourproposal, rewrite it until they do.

WHERE
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY DESCRIBE THE EXISTING AND PREVAILING
PROBLEM SITUATION BASED ON THE RESEARCHER’S EXPERIENCE
GIVE STRONG JUSTIFICATION FOR SELECTING SUCH RESEARCH PROBLEM IN HIS/HER CAPACITY AS A RESEARCHER
LINK AND RELATE THE BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY TO THE PROPOSED RESEARCH PROBLEM
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURERelated literature includes…Research findings
Published or unpublished theories
Principles formulated by experts or authorities in some field or discipline
Ideas or opinions of experts contained in books, pamphlets, magazines and periodicals
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURERelated literature includes…
Written in terms of the purpose of the study
Authoritative as evaluated
Give reference
Thematically organized
synthesized
CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK• The schematic diagram shows the
variable included in the study• Arrows or line shows the relationship
between the dependent and independent variables
• Independent and dependent variables should be clearly discussed and explained how these would influence the results of the study
THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
• Theories
• Principles
• Generalizations
• Research findings
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
• INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT – reflects the main problem
• Sub-problemNot answerable by either yes or no, when and
where Include all independent and moderate variablesArranged in logical orderExtensive in coverageMutually exclusive in its dimensions• If quantitative avoid the “how questions”
ASSUMPTIONS
• A proposition of some occurences or consideration in eliminating the area of the study
• A proposition based on the researcher’s intuition, experience, and observations but is not scientifically proven
• Adopted as premise to the solution of the problem envisioned by the researcher
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY• Contribution of the study to
knowledge• New knowledge in the field• A check on theMajor findings of other studiesValidity of the findings in a different
populationTrends over timeOther findings using different
methodology
THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
• Discusses the importance of the study to:
The societyThe countryThe governmentThe institutionThe agency concernedThe curriculum planners and developersThe researchers
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
• EXPOUNDS ON THE STUDY’S PROBABLE IMPACT TO EDUCATION, SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ON-GOING RESEARCHERS AND ETC.
DEFINITION OF TERMS
The terms to be operationally defined :Are those used throughout the
studyMay be a word or a phraseUsually taken from the titleThe statement of the problem or
hypothesis
SCOPE AND LIMITATION• Explains the nature, coverage and time
frame of the study• Presents in brief the subject area of
investigation, the place, the time period or school year covered
• Discuss the variables included in the study and the exclusion of other variables which are expected to be included
• Indicates the extent of capability of results arising from the sampling population
METHODOLOGY
• Research locale• Research Design• Population sampling or
respondents of the study• Research instruments• Statistical treatment of data
METHODOLOGY
RESEARCH LOCALE
• Discuss the place or setting of the study
• Show the target populationNOTE: only important features with bearing
on the present study should be included.
METHODOLOGY
RESEARCH DESIGN• Describes the research mode
whether it is…True experimental or quasi-experimentalDescriptive or survey researchHistorical researchQualitative researchEthnographicetc
METHODOLOGY
POPULATION SAMPLING OR RESPONDENTS OF THE STUDY
• Describes the target population and the sample frame
• Specifies the sampling technique used
• Show how the sample size is determined
METHODOLOGY
RESEARCH INSTRUMENT• Explains the specific type of research
instrument used such as:QUESTIONNAIRE CHECKLISTQUESTIONNAIRE-CHECKLIST STRUCTURED INTERVIEW TEACHER-MADE TEST STANDARDIZED INSTRUMENT ADOPTED/BORROWED WITH
PERMISSION FROM OTHER SOURCES
METHODOLOGY
RESEARCH INSTRUMENT• Explain instruments to be used and the
information it will produce• Explain establishment of validity and
reliability• Only experts will validate such instrument• Appropriate statistical test should be given
and the computed values derived• Interpretation should be included in the
discussion
METHODOLOGY
STATISTICAL TREATMENT OF DATA
• Explain how each statistical test is used in the treatment of data
• If the instrument included options which are scaled, explain how each scale is given weight, its interval and class limits.
BIBLIOGRAPHYThis include all materials used and reviewed by the
researcher:books MagazinesPeriodicalsJournalsThesis / dissertations (published or unpublished)MonographsSpeechesModulesWeb page or internetetc etc
BIBLIOGRAPHYIn the choice of Bibliographic
materials, the following should be considered:
