Based on Essentials of Research Methods, by Keeok Park ISBN: 978098434461 structure. Please rewrite chapter 1 in a paragraph structure style, based on Keeok Park method. Keep the topic, but should use this formatting below… Chapter I: Introduction Two most important things in the introduction section are the purpose and significance of the study. Statement of the problem: (Statement of the need): What is the (social, administrative, or management) problem that will be studied? If no specific problem will be addressed, some basic information about the topic can be provided in this section. Purpose of the study: This section begins with “The purpose of this study is ….” Hypotheses: Express the hypothesis in the research hypothesis format (not in the null hypothesis format). Directional hypotheses are preferred. Each hypothesis should indicate the dependent and independent variables. Limit the number of hypotheses to 2 or 3. Importance (significance) of the study: Why should we care about the topic? Why is the study important? (Is it because it solves some real world problems? Is it because it adds new pieces of information to the existing literature?) Definitions of terms: Defines unusual terms and phrases (this is an optional section and it may go to an appendix, if necessary). Delimitations of the study: This section defines or narrows the scope of the study by explaining what will be studied and what will NOT be studied. In most cases, we cannot study all aspects of a topic because we do not have enough time, energy, or technical skills. So, we delimit the scope of the study by focusing on only one or more aspects of a topic. For example, assume that we plan to study the issue of quality of life. We may state that we will study the issue of quality of life only in terms of social relationships (excluding the financial, health, and other aspects of quality of life). Then, we are delimiting the scope of the study. We may also delimit the scope of the study by defining or narrowing the study population. For example, we may state that the study will deal with the issue of quality of life only among the senior citizens in one city. This way, we are delimiting the scope of the study to the population of senior citizens in that city.
