Introduction of The College of Teacher Education: A Genre Analysis

A thesis is a from of academic writing which is a common requirement in completing a degree. It comprises research articles that have been explored in many academic studies. Accordingly, since the introduction comes after the abstract in a research paper, it is one of the most important sections. (Alharbi, 2021). The researcher observed that every specialization in the College of Teacher Education (C.T.E.) at the University of Mindanao (U.M.) has a different structure on how this must be constructed and organized. This raises concerns among students who are doing undergraduate research as they observe that every research panelist, teacher, and adviser has different views on how the research must be structured. Through a genre analysis, researchers will attempt to provide a complete view of the rhetorical structure of undergraduate research across various specializations. As emphasized in the study of Ono and Petric (2022), writing a thesis has become a difficult undertaking for universities in Pakistan; despite seminars, workshops, and symposiums held, the researchers found that research writers are not fulfilled. Furthermore, most Pakistani universities have no published guidelines for writing research-related genres like theses, dissertations, and research articles, which would aid students in developing their academic writing abilities.
