CHAPTER I Introduction Abstract The first sentence is a revision of the problem statement that is written in a very interesting or catchy manner. The next sentences may be used to clarify the problem statement and introduce the proceeding sentences that will state your general objective. The succeeding sentences must discuss your methodology or how you accomplished your objectives and, in the process, solve your problem. The last sentences deal with your results and conclusion. Background of the Study The first paragraph discusses the current state scenario/system. If the first paragraph tackles general issues, another paragraph may be written to explain specific issues. The next paragraph can discuss the different problems observed or likely to occur on the present scenario or system that you intend to solve on your study. General Objective This is the statement that will be used to evaluate the completeness of the thesis. Hence, what you intend to do or prove must be clearly written here. The physical manifestation of your output must be stated here unambiguously. If required, one or two quantifiable characteristics of the output may be included. Specific Objectives These follow through the general objectives by describing in concrete statements the major components of the project. These serve as visual indicators of whether or not the thesis was completed and is fully operational. Scope and Delimitations The scope of the thesis covers all aspects and factors that will contribute to its completion. The delimitations are other features of the project that may enhance its character but may be postponed till after the completion of the major components. Significance of the Study This section must contain discussion of any of the following: Relevance or timeliness of the study Expected solutions to discussed problem or improvement of existing solution Benefits of the study Contribution to knowledge Novelty CHAPTER II Theoretical Framework Review of Related Literature It is composed of discussions of facts and principles with which the present study is associated. It involves the systematic identification, location and analysis of documents containing information related to the research problem. Review of Related Studies

Related studies are studies, inquiries, or investigations already conducted to which the present proposed study is related or has some bearing or similarity. Importance, Purposes and Functions of Related Literature and Studies It provides the theoretical and conceptual framework of the planned research. It provides with the information about past researches related to the intended study. This process prevents unintentional duplication of these past researches and leads you into what needs to be investigated. It gives you information about the research methods used, the population and sampling considered, the instruments used in gathering the data, and the statistical computation in previous research. It provides findings and conclusions of past investigations which you may relate to your own findings and conclusions. Characteristics of Related Literature and Studies The surveyed materials must be as recent as possible. Materials reviewed must be objective and unbiased. Materials surveyed must be relevant to the study. Surveyed materials must have been based upon genuinely and true facts or data to make them valid and reliable. Reviewed materials must not be few or too many. Sources of Related Literature and Studies Books, encyclopedias, almanacs, and other similar references. Articles published in professional journals, magazines, periodicals, newspaper and other publications. Manuscripts, monographs, memoirs, speeches, letters and diaries. Unpublished theses and dissertations. The Constitutions and Laws and Statutes of the land. Bulletins, circulars and orders emanating from government offices and departments, especially from the Office of the President of the Philippines and the Department of Education. Records of schools, public and private especially reports of their activities. Reports from seminars, educational or otherwise. Official reports of all kinds, educational, social, economic, scientific, technological, political etc. from the government and other entities. Where to Locate the Sources of Related Literature and Studies Libraries, either government, school or private libraries. Government and private offices. The National Library The Library of the Department of Education Conceptual Framework Framework is a skeletal or structural frame, a foundation that provides base and support. Conceptual means relating to or having the characteristics of theory.

Conceptual framework refers to the set of interrelated constructs (concepts), definitions and propositions that relate to a research problem. Use IPO diagram (Input-Process-Output). CHAPTER III Methodology

Project Research Design Contain detailed discussions of different diagrams such as Block Diagram, System Flow, Flowchart, Context Diagram and HIPO chart. Project Development Detailed discussions of the different processes/phases you undertake that will lead to the development of the project. Discuss here your IPO diagram under the conceptual framework in chapter II. Evaluation Procedure Explain here how your project will be evaluated. Identify the respondents who will evaluate the system. Evaluation Criteria Discuss here the evaluation criteria that you will use to evaluate the develop system/project. It should be base on ISO 9126-1, FURPS or other international standards. Instruments and Techniques Used Presents here the evaluation criteria/instrument that you will use, how the evaluation will be conducted and what statistical treatment will be applied on the gathered data/responses. CHAPTER IV Results and Discussion

Project Technical Description Presents the Hardware and Software requirements of the project. Project Structured Organization Include the screen charts with description on each figure. Project Limitations and Capabilities After developing, testing and evaluating the project state here the complete Limitations and Capabilities of your project. Project Evaluation Presents here using Tables the results of project evaluation and give the technical analysis/interpretation on the derived results. CHAPTER V Summary, Conclusion and Recommendation

Summary Discuss here what you learned from the study/project as well as its outcome/ results. Conclusions State your conclusions based on each objective you presented in chapter I. Recommendations Suggest improvements on the project. You can use the limitations of your study to recommend future enhancements.
