Data analysis and writing the interpretation, conclusion, and recommendation of their
previous activity with the phenomenon, the dwindling attendance of the students in coming
to school.

Assignment: Prepare a list of topics/phenomena based on your field of interest.

Objective:
 Design a research project related to daily life.
I.Introduction
A. Activating Prior Knowledge
Now that you have your topic for your qualitative research, you can now formulate your
research problems. You have to formulate a general problem and at least three specific
problems. The specific problems can be studied in question form. For example:

General Problem: The study aims to explore the students’ images and views on chemistry.

Specific Problems:
1. What are the students images on chemistry based on their drawings?
2. What are the students’ views on chemistry?
3. What learning theories are embedded on these images?

Processing:
1. What do you observe in the formulation of problems?
2. Does the general problem give the overview of the research? What does it mean?
3. Why should you specify the problem?

B. Contextualizing Learning
E.Q. How is a clear statement of the problem in a qualitative research formulated?

Activity 1. What Have I Learned So Far?

The students answer the following question:
1. What is the difference between the general research problem and specific research
problem?
_______________________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________________
2. How do you state general problem and specific problem?
_______________________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________________
3. What is the significance of the research problem in the entire research process?

B. Exploration/Apprenticeship
Activity 2. Formulating the general and specific problems
Based on your chosen research topics, formulate the general and specific research
problems.

General Problem:
_____________________________________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________________________________
Specific Problems:
1. _______________________________________________________________________
2. _______________________________________________________________________
3. _______________________________________________________________________

Processing:
1. What did you do in order to formulate your research problems?
2. Why is it important to develop good research problems?

III. Integration
A. Synthesis.
A clear formulation of the problems is an important step in qualitative research
because this sets the direction and pace of the research.
Day 03 Aug. 11, 2016
Objectives:
 Write a research title.
 Formulating a clear statement of the problem.

I.Introduction
A. Activating Prior Knowledge
The teacher conducts a review of the past lesson. He asks the following questions:
1. What is a general research problem? Specific research problems?
2. How are general problem and specific research problems formulated?
3. What is the importance of the research problem in the entire research problems?

B. Contextualizing Learning
E.Q. How is a clear statement of the problem in a qualitative research formulated?

II. Interaction
A. Development of Knowledge
Now that you have formulated your research problems, you can now write your
working research title. I is called a “working title” because it can be revised or
modified as the study progresses.

B. Exploration/Apprenticeship
Read the passage below and answer the guide questions that follow.
The following is an excerpt of the problem of a qualitative research.

The study aims to investigate the extent the extent of addiction of most teenagers on
line.

Specifically, the study seeks to answer the following questions

1. What are the causes of the addiction of most teenagers to online games?
2. What are the reasons of their addiction to online games?
3. What are the possible effects of online game addiction?
 Guide Questions
