💪 How and Why to Write the Context of the Study in a Research Paper: A Step-by-Step Guide 🎓

In this video, I will provide you with a detailed guide on how to write the context of the study for your research paper, thesis, dissertation, or research project. I will provide several practical examples from my past studies to show you how you can apply my method to write an effective background of the study.

Thank you so much Dr, this was very helpful.

Thank you Prof for demystifying these topics... Looking forward to more of your insightful lessons... I have been binging them since the first one I saw. When you have time, kindly discuss your process of synthesizing articles for your evidence. Thank you!!

Interesting insights. Thanks for sharing

Good discussion about context. I hope you prepare on background of a dissertation proposal.

where and when is the source material from? what events,rules,norms conflicts and other that affect the source that is unique or post more impact before compared to the modern times? what are the settings of the people? what are the relationship between people in this era? Peoples relationship between them and institution in terms of social…religious, cultural, and occupational? is there a relevant organization that affects the source? if naa: what are the settings of the organization? what are the relationship of the organization to the people, stakeholder, other organizations, community and the government?

@@saeedsharif I re-watch the previous tutorial "How to Write the Background of a Study in a Research Paper: A Step-by-Step Guide". I find out that the third part is the Context of the study. However, i am a bit confusing with the Problem Statement. Where should we present Problem Statement in our write-up?

[@saeedsharif]

@@anitalow3628 Thank you for your question. In the background of the study we briefly mention about the context of the study. However, what I explained in this video is what you need to cover in a section specifically on the context of the study which can be included in the introduction section of your research work or research paper. Indeed, this information is presented in different ways in different parts of the thesis or research paper. I understand that you may think it is repetitive. However, in the end, many sections of your research report, thesis, or paper are linked together and can't be totally independent from each other. :) My next 2 videos are about the contributions of the study and problem statement :) I have a formula to write the problem statement which has helped many researchers and students to write strong problem statements! Stay tuned!

Hi, Dr. Saeed. My name is Lydia. I just watched your videos in the morning. I found the statistics plays a significant role both in the introduction chapter, could you recommend some web sites to find the statistics? Thanks a lot.

[@saeedsharif]

Hi Lydia, Thank you for watching my videos. I'm glad you found them valuable. It totally depends on the topic of your research and what statistics you want to provide. However, generally, when it comes to finding statistics, there are several reliable websites that provide a wide range of statistical data. Here are a few recommended websites to explore: World Bank Data (data.worldbank.org): Offers a vast collection of global development data and statistics. United Nations Data (data.un.org): Provides access to a wide range of United Nations statistical databases and publications. Statista (www.statista.com): Offers extensive statistics and market research data on various topics. Our World in Data (ourworldindata.org): Focuses on global trends, statistics, and research on a wide range of subjects. Data.gov (www.data.gov): The official U.S. government's open data source, providing access to a wide range of datasets.

I have followed most of your guidelines in framing my background and context. I am keen to know how should I organize my context if I am revisiting an older research work/concept with newer perspectives in the current social/political/organisational/policy milieu. Please suggest.

[@saeedsharif]

Thank you for your great question! This is actually the topic of one of my next 3 videos. Generally, you need to start by reviewing the work that has already been done. Afterward, discuss the limitations of the past works and demonstrate how your own work aims to address those limitations. Also, explain how this new social/political/organisational context is unique and how replicating the study in this new context contributes to the literature. I have provided some examples in my upcoming 3 videos. by the way, what is the area of your study?

[@admpum4247]

Hello professor, I found it difficult to do my study, my supervisor advised me to input the contextual information in the literature review, but I watched your video and read your paper, and you placed the context information in the introduction section.

[@saeedsharif]

Hi Adm Pum, Thank you for your question. There are various formats and styles for writing a thesis or paper. The common practice is to provide an introduction section that includes the context of the study. However, this may vary depending on the specific format you are following. In my own experience with my PhD thesis, I dedicated a separate chapter to discussing the context of the study because it was an important component of my research. I recommend carefully considering where it would be most appropriate to discuss the context of your study and then discussing this idea with your supervisor for further guidance. By the way, could you please share the field of your study?

[@admpum4247]

Thank your for your respond professor. My field study is on One-Health Rabies Prevention and Control. In this study I would like to know how to build a suitable collaboration/coordination mechanism between stakeholders in local government who involved in the rabies one health team with the problem is they have lack of collaboration. In this study I will use the theoretical framework of "Governance Collaboration". My supervisor suggest me to include the STUDY CONTEXT about policy/regulation to know the governance arrangement in One-Health Rabies. In addition, he advice to include this information after theoretical framework, and will guide me to develop the conceptual framework of the study. Anyway I will use qualitative study. Therefore, the objectives are. 1. Identify stakeholders role in one health team, 2. Understand their collaboration, 3. Identify barriers and opportunity. How do you think?

[@saeedsharif]

Thank you for your message. And sorry that I overlooked your message! It is an interesting and relevant topic. I agree that qualitative methodology is more suitable for such topics. As you have shared your research objectives, I recommend watching my video on research questions and objectives. I have covered the research questions and objectives of qualitative studies in that video too. Here you go: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJrCYpeLecaJg5I

Dr, I failed my proposal defense in universti malaya, and now I think about quitting. How may I contact you about the phd study? I need your help. Thanks !

[@saeedsharif]

I'm sorry to hear that. It can be disheartening to receive such news, but setbacks are a part of life. This may happen to anyone. One of my best PhD students almost failed his proposal defense. But he learned from that experience and improved a lot. He graduated in less than 3 years and he is a lecturer in the UK now. Don't let this setback deter you from pursuing your dreams. Embrace the challenges, learn from them, and keep moving forward. Can you let me know WHY you are studying a PhD? Also, please let me know your field of study.
