• The introduction is your opportunity to show readers and
reviewers why your research topic is worth reading about or
simply its significance. The introduction serves multiple
purposes. It presents the background to your study, introduces
your topic and aims, and gives an overview of the paper.
• In writing the introduction, make sure to start from a global
perspective to a more personal one.
• Write direct to the point using simple and clear words and
statements.
• Allot 1 page for the introduction part of your research.
Approaches in writing an Introduction:
Learning Styles of Senior High School Students
1. You can write a brief but provocative quotation
“Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a
tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.” – Albert
Einstein
2. Giving facts or statistics
According to an article published by the Research Statistics last 2019,
in the general population, the distribution of the three learning styles
is: 65% visual, 30% auditory and 5% kinesthetic.
3. You can state a brief background in abroad, in the country,
or in the locality.
4. You can add a rationale concerning the need for replication
of a completed study.
Rationale – Reason why you conduct the study which can be a
personal reason, article you’ve read, or news you’ve heard.
• Setting of the problem – (optional because it may be on other
parts of the research paper)
• Basic literature foundations – purpose is to define the variables
of the research title
• State the seriousness of the problem
• Objective
• Purpose
Review of Related Literature and Studies
Thematic Approach - It is a method for describing data, but it
also involves interpretation in the processes of selecting codes and
constructing themes.
