SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL BASIC EDUCATION DEPARTMENT
Holy Angel University
#1 Holy Angel Avenue, Sto. Rosario, Angeles City S.Y 2020-2021
COURSE OUTLINE IN RESEARCH/CAPSTONE PROJECT GRADE 12
COURSE DESCRIPTION In this course, students, under the guidance of a research adviser, will identify a scientific, technological, or mathematical problem, design and apply an appropriate methodology, formulate hypothesis, and draw conclusions based on their investigation. At the end of the semester, students will prepare a scientific report/paper to be presented/defended in a forum.
CONTENT STANDARD The learner demonstrates understanding of the key concepts of a scientific research question and its difference with a basic research question, the scientific literature and its relevance to a corresponding problem, hypothesis formulation, and designing investigatory methodologies.
PERFORMANCE STANDARD The learners shall be able to present the study conducted both orally and in writing through a public presentation or defense, and submission of a complete technical report or scientific paper
