Writing Scope and Delimitation

Writing Scope and Delimitation

Writing scope and delimitation does not require you extraordinary skills in writing. You just need to have a clear picture on how you are going to do your research. Most probably, if you happened to read other researches, you would notice they have different ways of formulating it. Some begin with the methods of research and end with the instrument, others start with research locale and end with the declaration of the protocols followed.

However, one thing is common among them, their content are the same. Therefore, this implies that there is no prescribed way of making it. As long as the necessary elements are declared and briefly discussed, that is already a good scope and delimitation. It is because this part of research intends to inform the readers about the parameter of your research.    

Commonly, scope and delimitation is written in three (3) paragraphs.

The first paragraph contains methods, research design, research locale, time duration, population, sampling and class size.

The second paragraph includes the instrument used, validation and protocols followed in the conduct of the study.

The last paragraph is the declaration of data gathering and analysis. It is important that you need to provide proper justifications of the elements you will be using. It is done through the wisdom of the experts – citation.
