LESSON 2:
LESSON 2: IDENTIFYING
THE PROBLEM AND
ASKING THE
QUESTIONS
OBJECTIVES:
• identify the following parts of a research paper:
a. background of the study
b. statement of the problem
c. research hypothesis (for quantitative research)
d. significance of the study
e. scope and delimitation of the study
f. conceptual framework g. definition of terms
• describe the importance of each part of the research paper;
and
3

• formulate clearly the statement of the problem.


INTRODUCTION
• Starting a research
investigation is similar to
embarking on a journey.
First, you have to project a
clear picture of your
destination. You have already
accomplished this initial step
as you have trimmed down
4
your area of interest into a
specific research problem.
INTRODUCTION

•The next step is


to strategize how
to arrive at the
destination.
5
ONE OF THE PURPOSES OF RESEARCH IS
TO ADDRESS THE PRESSING ISSUES IN
THE SOCIETY. AS A STUDENT WHO IS A
KEEN OBSERVER AND IS AWARE OF THE
LOCAL, NATIONAL OR INTERNATIONAL
AFFAIRS, LIST DOWN THREE CRUCIAL
CONCERNS AND PROPOSE A SOLUTION
FOR EACH.
• For example:
Problem 1 (Local): Diesel price hike
Proposed Solution: Used Cooking Oil as a
6
Substitute for Diesel
IDENTIFYING THE PROBLEM
AND ASKING THE QUESTIONS
•Now that you have clearly
formulated a research
problem, the next step is
to accomplish the
baseline of your research
7
paper.
IDENTIFYING THE PROBLEM
AND ASKING THE QUESTIONS
•You must explain
the context of your
study by giving its
background.

IDENTIFYING THE PROBLEM
AND ASKING THE QUESTIONS
•This may aid you in
identifying your
specific questions for
your statement of the
problem as well as
9
your hypothesis.
IDENTIFYING THE PROBLEM
AND ASKING THE QUESTIONS
•There is also a need to
list down the
beneficiaries of your
research which will be
presented in the
10
significance of the
IDENTIFYING THE PROBLEM
AND ASKING THE QUESTIONS
•You must also set
the boundaries of
your study by
writing your scope
11
and delimitation.
IDENTIFYING THE PROBLEM
AND ASKING THE QUESTIONS
•A definition of
terms must also be
furnished to
facilitate
12
understanding of
your study.
A. BACKGROUND OF THE
STUDY
• The background of the study
is an explanation of the
context of study which
involves the current data or
status of the problem, existing
studies about it and its history
that paved way to the
13
development of the research
problem.
A. BACKGROUND OF THE
STUDY
• It explicates the rationale
why you, as a researcher,
are conducting the study.
Writing this particular part
of the paper may lead you
to your research questions.
14
A. BACKGROUND OF THE
STUDY
• As you write the background of the study or
introduction, take into consideration the following
guidelines:
1. It should clearly state the reason for
conducting the study.
2. It should move from broad to specific.
3. It should state the current condition of the
research problem.

B. STATEMENT OF THE
PROBLEM
•This premise indicates the
importance of meticulously
crafting of the research
questions as it sets the focus and
20
drives the course of the study.
B. STATEMENT OF THE
PROBLEM
•The statement of the problem
has two parts:
1. General statement of the
problem/Objective
21 2. Specific research questions
B. STATEMENT OF THE
PROBLEM
• How to formulate general statement of the
problem:
The purpose of this ethnographic study (type of study) is to
describe (exploratory and non- directional verb) the training
(central phenomenon of the study) of Aeta teachers from
Castillejos, Zambales (participants) for the past ten years
(when) to provide insights into the formulation of a
22 continuing education model for indigenous teachers
(purpose). (Creswell and Clark, 2014)

questions:

C. HYPOTHESIS

•A hypothesis is a preconceived
idea, assumed to be true and is
tested for its truth or falsity. It
has two types: the null
hypothesis and alternative
hypothesis.

D. SIGNIFICANCE OF THE
STUDY
•The significance of the study
pinpoints the benefits certain groups
of people will gain from the
findings of the study. It must start
from the most to the least benefitted
27 ones.
E. SCOPE AND DELIMITATIONS OF
THE STUDY
• Scope and Delimitations of the Study states
the coverage of the study. It must answer the
following parameters as much as possible:

28
F. CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK

•A conceptual framework serves


as an outline or a blueprint that
you can follow in doing your
research. It is presented in a
flow chart, map, diagram or
narrative form.
29
F. CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK

30
G. DEFINITION OF TERMS

•Definition of Terms lists down and


defines the key terms as used in the
study in alphabetical order. An
operational definition refers to a specific
definition of concept in a research study.
This is necessary because it will clarify
31
the purpose and direction of the study.
