How to Write a Thesis Statement | 4 Steps & Examples

Published on January 11, 2019 by Shona McCombes . Revised on August 15, 2023 by Eoghan Ryan.

A thesis statement is a sentence that sums up the central point of your paper or essay . It usually comes near the end of your introduction .

Your thesis will look a bit different depending on the type of essay you’re writing. But the thesis statement should always clearly state the main idea you want to get across. Everything else in your essay should relate back to this idea.

You can write your thesis statement by following four simple steps:

• Start with a question
• Write your initial answer
• Develop your answer
• Refine your thesis statement

A thesis statement summarizes the central points of your essay. It is a signpost telling the reader what the essay will argue and why.

The best thesis statements are:

• Concise: A good thesis statement is short and sweet—don’t use more words than necessary. State your point clearly and directly in one or two sentences.
• Contentious: Your thesis shouldn’t be a simple statement of fact that everyone already knows. A good thesis statement is a claim that requires further evidence or analysis to back it up.
• Coherent: Everything mentioned in your thesis statement must be supported and explained in the rest of your paper.

Prevent plagiarism. Run a free check.

The thesis statement generally appears at the end of your essay introduction or research paper introduction .

The spread of the internet has had a world-changing effect, not least on the world of education. The use of the internet in academic contexts and among young people more generally is hotly debated. For many who did not grow up with this technology, its effects seem alarming and potentially harmful. This concern, while understandable, is misguided. The negatives of internet use are outweighed by its many benefits for education: the internet facilitates easier access to information, exposure to different perspectives, and a flexible learning environment for both students and teachers.

You should come up with an initial thesis, sometimes called a working thesis , early in the writing process . As soon as you’ve decided on your essay topic , you need to work out what you want to say about it—a clear thesis will give your essay direction and structure.

You might already have a question in your assignment, but if not, try to come up with your own. What would you like to find out or decide about your topic?

For example, you might ask:

After some initial research, you can formulate a tentative answer to this question. At this stage it can be simple, and it should guide the research process and writing process .

Now you need to consider why this is your answer and how you will convince your reader to agree with you. As you read more about your topic and begin writing, your answer should get more detailed.

In your essay about the internet and education, the thesis states your position and sketches out the key arguments you’ll use to support it.

The negatives of internet use are outweighed by its many benefits for education because it facilitates easier access to information.

In your essay about braille, the thesis statement summarizes the key historical development that you’ll explain.

The invention of braille in the 19th century transformed the lives of blind people, allowing them to participate more actively in public life.

A strong thesis statement should tell the reader:

• Why you hold this position
• What they’ll learn from your essay
• The key points of your argument or narrative

The final thesis statement doesn’t just state your position, but summarizes your overall argument or the entire topic you’re going to explain. To strengthen a weak thesis statement, it can help to consider the broader context of your topic.

These examples are more specific and show that you’ll explore your topic in depth.

Your thesis statement should match the goals of your essay, which vary depending on the type of essay you’re writing:

• In an argumentative essay , your thesis statement should take a strong position. Your aim in the essay is to convince your reader of this thesis based on evidence and logical reasoning.
• In an expository essay , you’ll aim to explain the facts of a topic or process. Your thesis statement doesn’t have to include a strong opinion in this case, but it should clearly state the central point you want to make, and mention the key elements you’ll explain.

A thesis statement is a sentence that sums up the central point of your paper or essay . Everything else you write should relate to this key idea.

The thesis statement is essential in any academic essay or research paper for two main reasons:

• It gives your writing direction and focus.
• It gives the reader a concise summary of your main point.

Without a clear thesis statement, an essay can end up rambling and unfocused, leaving your reader unsure of exactly what you want to say.

Follow these four steps to come up with a thesis statement :

• Ask a question about your topic .
• Write your initial answer.
• Develop your answer by including reasons.
• Refine your answer, adding more detail and nuance.

The thesis statement should be placed at the end of your essay introduction .

Dr. Genaro O . Basas III

The Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) of the Philippine government was implemented by the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD). It was designed to aid poor households with short-term consumption needs while promoting investment in the education and health of their children to help break the inter-generational transmission of poverty in the country. This study employed a descriptive research design to determine the present socioeconomic conditions of the householdbeneficiaries of 4Ps in Bagacay, Daram, Samar, Philippines. The household-beneficiaries belonged to lowincome families whose highest educational attainment of the majority of their members was elementary level only, and fishing was a main source of their income. More household-beneficiaries had two children each covered by the program. They still experienced deficiency with their daily basic needs such as foods, water, clothing, and other family expenditures. Many of them procured only those affordable televisions, electric fans, bulbs or fluorescents, and cell phones. They had no ownership and assurance in their housing and land used. Most of their houses were not concrete, since they could not afford to purchase materials for house construction. Not all household-beneficiaries constructed toilets, and some of those with toilets were not ideal. Other household-beneficiaries were cultivating agricultural lands which were not their own. More parents constantly monitored their children's attendance, and progresses in school. They actively participated in the school activities.

The pressing problem on poverty have led the Philippine government to initiate program on poverty alleviation, and one of these programs is the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps). Review of related studies revealed that there is a need to investigate the impact of this program. In this context, this case study was conducted to determine the impact of the 4Ps in terms of poverty reduction, social development, financial management, and livelihood empowerment. Through the use of an aide-mémoire, six (6) beneficiaries and their families were interviewed. Results of thematic analysis of the interview transcripts revealed that 4Ps program provides the families’ basic needs, promotes the families’ well-being, promotes their socioeconomic status, and provides capital for their livelihood. Clearly, the program had positive impact on the lives of the beneficiaries which characterizes the Ilokano phrase ‘Rang-ay Babaen ti 4Ps’ which means the improvement of the quality and status of the...

The aim of this study is to analyze whether the 4Ps beneficiaries of the country’s capital city experience the same as those of in the provinces, and that if the program’s impact is significant for the lives of student-beneficiaries. The researchers used quantitative methods and the correlational research design in conducting the study. The researchers used the census method instead of a sampling method, as it was deemed more effective in order to ensure accuracy in the outcomes of the study. 53 parents in household-beneficiaries in Brgy. 211 Zone 19, City of Manila were interviewed by the researchers. Pearson product-moment correlation was used to test the relationship of the 4Ps grants and conditions and the well-being of the elementary school student-beneficiaries in the area. It turned out that there was a weak but positive correlation between the two variables, and the relationship was not statistically significant. The researchers (1) urge the parents in benefiting households to fully utilize the grants of the 4Ps, (2) suggest to the DSWD and other government entities concerned to monitor the efficiency, effectivity, and even the sustainability of the 4Ps, and (3) recommend to the future researchers that the number of respondent-families be increased, as the number of respondent-families may be a factor in the consistency of results.

This study measured and evaluated the effect of Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) on the academic performance of the student-beneficiaries of Calaba National High School, Calaba, San Isidro, Nueva Ecija in the Philippines. Survey questionnaires were distributed to ninety five 4Ps student beneficiaries who were purposively selected based on the following criteria: 4Ps beneficiary, enrolled in Calaba National High School at the time of data gathering, and willingness to participate in the study. Analysis of all collected data revealed the significant effect of the program to the performance of student beneficiaries especially in motivating students to attend classes. The result also supports Vroom’s Expectancy Theory which assumes that the students’ efforts, performance, and behavior are influenced by the importance they place on the desired outcome. In this case, to satisfy the conditionalities and remain eligible for the cash grant which have positive effect on the socio-eco...

The main purpose of the study is to determine the direct impact of the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program on the Education, Health, and Nutritional Status of Learners Beneficiaries in the Third Congressional District of Quezon. It specifically aimed to find out the status of the learner-beneficiaries before and during the time of being a 4Ps CCT recipient in terms of education, health, and nutrition. The study also determined the assistance received by the learner-beneficiaries in terms of the mentioned aspects. With a total of 348 respondents from the entire Third congressional district, the researcher was able to use the descriptive quantitative method. The respondents were grade 6 pupils from public elementary schools of Bondoc Peninsula and are all 4P's beneficiaries. The researcher considered the validity and reliability of their data. It was found that the 4P's program has a positive impact on the educational outcomes of the beneficiaries, particularly on their GWA with higher rates of subject passing and school attendance. However, further analysis is needed to fully understand the impact of the program on the student's educational outcomes. Results also showed that becoming a 4P's CCT recipient has had a positive impact on the health of individuals, resulting in a significant reduction in the frequency and severity of illnesses experienced by individuals. It was also found that the 4P's CCT program had a positive impact on the nutrition status of the recipients by increasing the frequency of meals consumed, improving BMI, and providing access to vitamins and that the 4Ps program has a positive impact on the lifestyle of beneficiaries before and during the time of being a recipients, particularly in terms of health, nutrition, education, household expenditure, and income. The 4P's CCT program has had a positive impact on the lifestyle characteristics of the individuals who became recipients of the program. Specifically, the program appears to have helped increase the income of the households, reduce gambling and vices and did not lead to any increase in luxurious lifestyles. Finally, the null hypothesis concludes that there is a significant difference in the status of the learner-beneficiaries before and after becoming a 4Ps CCT recipient for all four profiles.

This study endeavoured to find out the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps), the Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) program of the Government of the Republic of the Philippines, from the viewpoint of its beneficiaries and to recognize the changes it brought forth to education. Respondents, selected through purposive sampling, were asked through a researcher-made questionnaire of their perception and suggestions for the 4Ps, and the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of 4Ps. The study revealed that 4Ps contributed greatly to the school's performance indicators. This study also raised the awareness of the school personnel and the recipients of the program's strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. Furthermore, the study concludes that 4Ps certainly helped its recipients and the school with 4Ps enrolees. It is therefore recommended that the program be continued but improved to ensure the attainment of its objectives.

The purpose of this phenomenological study was to examine the lived experiences of former Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) student-beneficiaries. The theories guiding this study were Human Capital Theory (1990), Social Capital Theory (1988), and The Concept of Experience by Dewey (1934). The study followed the theory and methods of the phenomenological research model proposed by Giorgi (2009) that allowed informants to provide personal perspectives and reflections on their experiences. The following three research questions guided the study: 1)What are the students’ distinct experiences as former beneficiaries of 4Ps? 2) How would the students describe their lives and values as 4Ps former beneficiaries?and 3) How are these experiences of being a former 4Ps recipient reflected in the co-researchers lives today?Interviews conducted to gather perceptive data from co-researcherswere transcribed, examined, coded, and broken down into themes emerged throughout the research process. The themes identified based on the distinct experiences of students as former beneficiaries of 4Ps were Financial Distress, Psychological Distress, and Financial Security. Identified themes based on description of lives and values of participants as former 4Ps beneficiaries were Reduced 3 Poverty, Spiritual Growth, and Social Growth. Identified themes based on reflection on the lives of co-researchers from gained experience as a former 4Ps member were Improved Confidence, Motivation, and Improved Academic Performance. The findings of the study may help in improving the 4Ps program and the experiences that will be brought by the said program to the present and future beneficiaries.
