Formulation of Research Problem

This document discusses the formulation of research problems and objectives. It states that formulating the research problem is the first step and lays the foundation for the rest of the research project. Some important considerations for formulating the research problem include ensuring the topic interests the researcher, is narrow enough in scope to be manageable, has clear concepts that can be measured, matches the researcher's level of expertise, and has available data. The steps outlined are to identify broad subject areas, select the most interesting area, raise research questions, formulate objectives, and double check the formulation. Objectives should use words like "to find out" and determine the specific aspects and overall thrust of the study.
