CHAPTER 1

THE INTRODUCTION

The purpose of the introduction is to supply the reader with the history

pertinent to the problem being studied; to inform the reader of the nature of the

problem being studied; to inform the reader the extent literature dealing with

the problem; and to inform the reader of the architectural significance of the

problem. The introduction should communicate the author’s comprehensive

grasp of the field(s) pertinent to the problem being investigated.

1.1. BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

This is a general introduction to the topical area. It is a general, broad

statement that provides an overview of the area involving your study. Guiding

questions for this area are:

1. Why is this an important area?

2. What has been the historical development of the topic?

3. Are there different points of view about the topic?

4. Have there been significant investigations, studies, or reports

concerning the topical area?

5. What is the current status of the area of your interest?

6. What are the major outstanding concerns in the general area?

1


1.2. STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

Since the introduction has given a broad, general background to the

study, this should be very specific in nature. The statement of the problem might

begin with the words, "The problem of the study is...." or "This study will address

the problem of..." Guiding questions for this area are:

1. Does the problem pose significance to architecture?

2. Will the problem present data that explains previously

unexplained facts?

3. Will the problem serve as a point of departure for the study that

leads to the design solution?

You can start by introducing the Core Problem as a general overview.

Provide a MINIMUM OF THREE SPECIFIC statement of the problem.

1.3. OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY

This section provides you with an opportunity to tell the reader the

overall purpose of your study. The focus of the study should be stated here in

the form of Goal(s) or Aim(s) and the objectives of how to achieve the goal(s)

must be stated. For a thesis, include research questions to be answered and/or

hypotheses. Guiding questions are:

Is the question directly related to the review of the literature?

1. Does the question help clarify the problem statement?

2. Does the question project a bias?

2


3. Is it possible to misinterpret the question?

4. Is the objective specific and clearly stated?

5. Is the objective directly related to the review of the literature?

6. Is each hypothesis clearly stated?

7. Are the hypotheses testable?

Provide a MINIMUM OF THREE objectives.

1.4. SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

This section provides answers as to what the study will contribute. It

should specifically state the value of the study. Why is this study important?

1.5. CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK

A conceptual framework occurs when a researcher “links” concepts

from literature to “establish” evidence (which represent self-perceived

solutions/approaches) to support the need for the research question (which

is/are yet to be validated thru applicable tests). In the Architecture Thesis

program, these research questions are the STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM/S. The

conceptual framework can be in any format like I-P-O (input-process-output,

different from RESEARCH PARADIGM), simplified organigram or any

representational diagrams.

OutputProcessInput

3


As can be seen in the figure above, the fundamental components of

systems theory are the:

(a) identification of the system,

(b) inputs (concepts), process (often called throughput), output

definitions, and a feedback loop.

If somebody else has already and linked these concepts with valid

previous research and studies, they made a theoretical framework which can be

used as a "ready made map" for other future scientists/researchers to guide

their own research questions. A theoretical framework also shows how the

current researcher links the different concepts, theories, principles, findings from

previous existing valid studies (based from a thorough REVIEW OF RELATED

LITERATURE) in order to support his/her research questions. A theoretical

framework can also give the reader a summary of the researcher’s

comprehensive review of related literature.

1.6. PROJECT SCOPE, LIMITATIONS & DELIMITATIONS

Project Scope – explains the project component included in the project.

The spaces are described and determined by their hierarchal importance:

principal activity, progression spaces and auxiliary areas.

4


Limitations – these are constraints to the study that are beyond your

control but that may influence the data. Limitations may emerge at any time

during your study.

Delimitations – deliberately self-imposed constraints on the research.

You define the boundaries in the problem area within which the study will be

done, and the population or situation to which the findings may apply.

1.7. DEFINITION OF TERMS

The First Part should include the TECHNICAL DEFINITION OF THE

PROPOSED TITLE. The Second Part should include IMPORTANT TERMS AND

CONCEPTS USED IN THE STUDY are adequately analyzed and defined. Assign a

precise meaning to commonplace words of importance. You could also INCLUDE

THE ABBREVIATIONS used within the research work.

5


CHAPTER 2

THE LITERATURE REVIEW

This chapter includes all types of materials reviewed, conceptual

literature which came from books. Related studies both local and foreign

consisting mainly of peer reviewed journals. Your aim is to show how the

present study relates to the existing knowledge and previous studies in terms of

both similarities and differences. The formal sub-sections for this chapter are;

2.1. REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE

Must be comprehensive in the light of the chosen variables with a view

to surfacing the research blankspots (unexplored area) and blindspots

(conflicting areas in the literature). You can present this section in a thematic

manner or sequential manner.

2.2. CASE STUDIES

Research familiarization and graphic documentation of selected design or

work already executed related to the proposed project. A descriptive narrative

about the sample study should consist of the following: description of the

scenario, background of the place, previous and existing conditions, implications,

impact, outstanding qualities and conclusion. In architecture, the most important

things to analyze in any Case Study consist of the following:

Environment and micro-climate

6


User behavior and requirements

Utility and space enhancement

Form and Function

Horizontal and vertical circulation

Site Planning and Landscape detailing

Structural details such as Column and Beam Design, Steel and

Composite structures

Building Services such as Fire Alarm system, HVAC, Water supply

systems

Design detailing considering the Barrier-free environment

Socio-economic profile of user group

Parking details and standards

2.3. RESEARCH PARADIGM

(simulacrum or hypothesized model…if applicable)

2.4. SYNTHESIS

A synthesis that describes the relevance of the reviewed scholarly

works/literature and case study scenarios is presented clearly and is sensibly

related to the problem area.

7


CHAPTER 3

THE RESEARCH METHOD

This chapter must include details of your experimental methodology. The

methods and procedure can be entitled descriptively according to the specific

research and publication project. This section must outline in detail the methods

and procedure by which the design decisions were accomplished. An adequate

methods and procedures section should indicate what criteria were employed in

data collection, how the data were analyzed and reduced, e.t.c.

The purpose of the methods and procedures section is to place the entire

research and publication process in public domain so that others can attempt to

replicate the process if they so choose, or so that others can systematically vary

from his procedure to test the effects of alternative approaches to the same

problem.

3.1. RESEARCH DESIGN

Used Methodology: The Sample, Measure and Design Procedures

Let the reader know the type of design you are using and why that

research design was chosen.

Population/Sample/(Participants, if qualitative) - carefully identify the

sample and describe in detail the manner in which it was chosen. Naturally, if

8


you are including all possible subjects, you are dealing with a population. In this

case, you describe the characteristics of the population.

Describe each and every step taken to do your study. It is a type of "road

map" that others must follow if they choose to replicate your study. Include the

steps you took to contact the population/sample in your study, how you

obtained their cooperation, how the instruments(s) were administered, how the

data was handled as it was returned, how follow-ups were handled, etc. Copies

of all letters, instruction sheets, etc. should be placed in the appendices.

3.2. DATA GATHERING

Tools/Instruments of Research, Sources

Instrument (Data Collection, if qualitative) - identify each instrument you

will use to measure the variables in your study. There should be a separate

subsection for each instrument. Information should be provided regarding the

development of the instrument, the history of its use, data regarding its validity

and reliability, data regarding how the instrument is administered and scored

and anything else that will give insight into its appropriateness. Additionally,

provide a rationale for the selection of your instruments. Generally, a copy of the

instrument should be included in the appendix (for the proposal and the final

thesis). If you are conducting qualitative inquiry, explain your data collection

procedures.

Example (taken from Marishirl Tropicales, 2010):

9


A semi-structured interview guide consisting of in-depth descriptive

questions (see Appendix VI) will be formulated concerning the wise leadership

behaviors of the principals. Teachers will also be interviewed on the extent to

which their principal employs wisdom in their leadership. A permit (see

Appendix II) to conduct the interview will be properly secured in order to

maximize the time allotted for the interview…

3.1.5.1 Interview Protocol (example)

The researcher will inform the interviewees of the nature and relevance

of the research which they will be part of. They will also be requested to sign the

consent form (see Appendix II). A semi-structured interview will be used to

guide the interview process. According to Cooper and Schindler (2003)…

3.3. DATA PROCESSING

Synthesis, Data Analysis or Mode of Analysis

Discuss how the data will be analyzed and include any statistical

treatments.

Example (taken from Belinda Castro, 2010):

Using SPSS version 17, Cronbach Alpha revealed the instrument’s

reliability and internal consistency to be 93.5%, indicating that items measuring

the constructs were reliable and internally consistent. Delineation of existing

market segments within the shadow education marketplace called for two

market segmentation methods, namely: the a priori market segmentation using

10


binary logistic regression (Monahan, McHonrney, Stump & Perkins, 2007;

Goldstein & Perin, 2008) and the posteriori segmentation using factor analysis…

11

research assistants and secretarial supporting staff, as funds available are

resources and equipment on the ground for the purpose. Details of the cost of
