LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET
Activity Title: “Indicating Scope and Delimitation of Study”
Most Essential Learning Competency:
a. Describes background of research
b. Indicates scope and delimitation of study.
I. PRE-ASSESSMENT
Directions: Write an entry of scope and delimitation using the jumbled data. Write your answer on the box
in a separate sheet of paper.
II. LEARNING CONCEPTS:
What is scope and delimitation of the study?
The scope of study in the thesis or research paper contains the explanation of what information or subject is being
analyzed. It is followed by an explanation of the limitation of the research. Research
usually limited in scope by sample size, time and geographic area. While the delimitation of study is the description of
the scope of study. It will explain why definite aspects of a subject were chosen and why others were excluded. It
mentions the research method used as well as the certain theories that applied to the data (Esposito, 2002).
Delimitations and limitations clarify the boundaries, exceptions, and reservations inherent in every study. The two
concepts are different in that:
Delimitations
It involves the scope of a study. For example, the scope may focus on specific variables, specific participants, specific
sites, or narrowed to one type of research design (e.g., ethnography or experimental research).
Limitations
It aims to identify potential weaknesses of the study. For example, all statistical procedures and research strategies, such
as surveys or grounded theory studies have limitations. In introductory discussions about these strategies, authors typically
mention both their strengths and their weaknesses (Fatatado, 2016).
Sample Scope and Delimitations
The main focus of this project was the design of an efficient Energy Recovery System of Seawater Reverse Osmosis
Plant. The system will be using pressure technology by application of pressure exchanger as an energy recovery device.
Pressure exchanger transfer pressure from a high-pressure stream to slow pressure stream in a ceramic motor. The
proposed system is limited only in reducing high power consumption of the high-pressure pump. The project can be used
in all existing Seawater Reverse Osmosis Plant in the Philippines. (Creswell, 2012).
III. EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING:
Directions: Study the following sample of Scope and Delimitation and be able to answer the questions that follow.
1. What is the general purpose of the study? ____________________________________
2. What were the aspects studied? ______________________________________________
3. What is the population of the study? _________________________________________
4. What is the locale of the study? ______________________________________________
5. What is the period of the study?
IV. POST ASSESSMENT:
Directions: The following are information to be included in the scope and delimitation of three proposed studies. Identify
