UNIT 2 Identifying the inquiry and Stating the Problem

Introduction

This module discusses the topics that will help the learners to develop the ability to
formulate a research problem and find answers towards these inquiries or questions. The
learners need more time to think in finalizing the decision about a particular topic to research
on or in determining the appropriateness of such topic by obtaining the background
information of the study, and formulating some questions that you want to answer.

Intended Leaning Outcomes

After this lesson, you should be able to:

1. design a research useful in daily life;

2. write a research title;

3. describe background of research;

4. state research questions;

5. Indicate scope and limitations of the study;

6. cite benefits and beneficiaries of study; and

7. presents written statement of the problem.

PERFORMANCE STANDARD

The learner is able to;

- formulate clearly the statement of research problem.

LESSON 1: RESEARCH IN OUR DAILY LIFE

As stated by Monteverde (2017), RESEARCH PROBLEM is a statement about an

area of concern, a condition to be improved upon, a difficulty to be eliminated, or a troubling
question that exists in scholarly literature, theory, or practice that point to the need for a
meaningful understanding and deliberate investigation.
G12 Research 2 Page 6

SOURCES OF RESEARCH PROBLEMS

* Personal interests and experiences

Some examples are: The use of formative tests in a statistics class; and the use of

technology in a research class.

* Deduction from theory

Some examples are: The effectiveness of math manipulative; and the effectiveness of a
mastery approach to learning research.

* Replication of studies

Some examples are: Checking the findings of a major study; checking the validity of
research findings with different subjects; and checking trends or changes over time.

CHARACTERISTICS OF A RESEARCH PROBLEM

1. A research problem is not just answerable by yes or no. It should imply that

explanation and justifications regarding the true situation or observations.

2. It implies relationship between the variables of the study.

3. The problem should be stated in clear, unambigous manner:

4. A researchable problem must imply interpretation and analysis of data.

G12 Research 2 Page 7

RESEARCH TOPICS TO BE AVOIDED

1. Controversial topics - These are topics that depend greatly on the writer’s opinion

which tend to be biased or prejudicial. Facts cannot support topics like these.

2. Highly technical subjects - For a beginner, researching on topics that require an

advance study, technical knowledge,, and vast experience is very difficult.

3. Hard-to-investigate subjects - A topic or a subject is hard to investigate if there is

no available data or reading materials about it and if such materials are

not-up-date or obsolete.

4. Too broad subjects - A subject or a topic that are too broad will prevent the

researcher from giving a concentrated or in depth analysis of the subject matter of the
research paper.

5. Too narrow subjects - The subjects are so limited or specific that an extensive or

thorough searching or reading for information about the subject is necessary.

6. Vague subjects - Choosing topics like these will prevent you from having a clear

Insights or focus on your study. For instance, titles beginning with indefinite

adjectives such as several, many, some, etc., as in Some Remarkable Traits of an

Ilocano, Several People’s Comments on the Extra Judicial Killings, are vague

enough to decrease the readers’ interest and curiosity.

Writing a Research Title

When writing a title in research paper, authors should realize that despite being
repeatedly warned against it, most of the people do indeed fall prey to judging a book by its
cover. This cognitive bias tends to form readers considerably vulnerable to alowing the
research paper title to function because of sole factor influencing their decision of whether to
read or skip a particular paper. Considering this, it is clear that the title of your paper is the
most important determinant of how people will read it.

ELEMENTS OF RESEARCH

A good research paper title:

> Condenses the paper’s content in a few words

> Captures the reader’s attention

> Differentiates the paper from other papers of the same subjects area

- PURPOSE (AIM)

- Why do I want to conduct this research study?

- SUBJECT MATTER (TOPIC)

- What do I want to study about?

- LOCALE (PLACE)

- Where do I conduct the study?

- (PERIOD)

- How long will take for me to finish my study?

- (POPULATION RESPONDENTS)

- From whom will my data come from or be collected?

LESSON 2: RESEARCH BACKGROUND

The background of the study establishes the context of the research. This section
explains why this particular research topic is important and essential to understanding the
main aspect of the study. Usually, the background forms the first part of a research article or
thesis and justifies the need for conducting the study and summarizes what the study aims to
achieve (Sachdev, 2018)

How to structure the background of the study

Dr. Rishibha Sachdev emphasized that the author usually outlines the historical
development in the literature that led to the current topic of research concisely.

In addition, the writer should briefly highlight the main developments of their
research topic and identify the main gaps that need to be addressed. They should be
organized as:

* What is known about the broad topic?

* What are the gaps or missing links that need to be addressed?

* What are the significance of dressing those gaps?

* What are the rationale and hypothesis of your study?

Therefore, the background should be written as a summary of your interpretation of

previous research and what your study proposes to accomplish. And again do not elaborate
the studies done in the literature review section.

LESSON 3: STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM OR RESEARCH QUESTION

G12 Research 2 Page 14

Research question - it is an answerable inquiry into a specific concern or issue in this

case, it is the initial step in a research project. The research question is the first step in the
research project.

A research question forms the base of where you are going, according to Kowalczyk
(2018), the researcher have to write a good research question.

Writing a Research Question

Writing a good research question means you have something you want to study.
There are steps in writing a research question.

* Specify your specific concern or issue

* Decide what you want to know about the specific concern into a question

* Ensure that the question is answerable

* Check to make sure the question is not too broad or too narrow

Example: Statement of the Problem

This study seeks to determine the (Title of your research)

Specifically, it seeks to answer the following questions:

1. What are the profile of the respondents in terms of

a) age; and

b) sex?

2. What is the level of (it can be awareness, implementation etc.)?

3. Is there a significant difference between….? (if you are comparing two variables)

4. Is there a relationship between the (ex. Profile and the level of … if you are testing the

relationship between and among)

LESSON 4: Scope and delimitation

It is important to narrow down your thesis topic and limit the scope of your study.
The researcher should inform the reader about limits or coverage of the study. The scope
identifies the boundaries of the study in terms of subjects, objectives, facilities, area, time
frame, and the issues to which the research is focused.

/ The coverage of the study …..

/ The study consists of …..

/ The study covers the …..

/ The study is focus on …..

The delimitation of the study is delimiting a study by geographic location, age, sex,
population traits, population size, or other similar considerations. Delimitation is used to
make study better and more feasible and not just for the interest of the researcher. It also
identifies the constraints or weaknesses of your study which are not within the control of the
researcher.

Sample phrases that expressed the delimitation of the study:

/ The study does not cover the …..

/ The researcher limited this research to …..

/ The study is limited to …..

Significance of the study

In this section, according to the blog of Cueva, (2018) he said that the significance of
the study is a part of the introduction of a thesis/research. It should determine who benefit
from its findings. The significance of the study could be simply reflected by the following
two questions:

1. Why should my study be published?

2. What significant scientific contribution is my study making to my field of research?

On the other hand, according to Cobar (2016), significance of the study is written as
part of the introduction of a thesis. It provides details to the reader on how the study will
contribute such as what the study will contribute and who will benefit from it. It also
includes an explanation of the work’s importance as well as its potential benefits. It is
sometimes called rationale.

Writing the Significance of the Study

1. Statement of the problem will guide you to write a significance of the study. Based

on the statement of the problem you will see the potential benefits of your study.

Just answer the question, “What are the benefits or advantage of the study based on

the statement of the problem?’

2. Determine the specific contribution of your thesis study to the society as to the

individual.
G12 Research 2 Page 17

Sample Significance of the Study

‘The study of dehydration technology and fabrication can be learning paradigm in the
secondary level and vocational schools to enhance the students’ knowledge and
entrepreneurial skills as well.

The project’s goal is designed to help students improve academic competence,

develop employability skills, implement a career plan and participate in career pathway in
preparation for post-secondary education or careers in the food manufacturing or service
sector after graduating from high school.’ - Mary Rose Florence S. Cobar
