RESEARCH PROBLEM
A research problem is a statement about an area of concern, a condition to be
improved, a difficulty to be eliminated, or a troubling question that exists in scholarly
literature, in theory, or in practice that points to the need for meaningful understanding and
deliberate investigation. In some social science disciplines, the research problem is typically
posed in the form of a question. A research problem does not state how to do something,
offer a vague or broad proposition, or present a value question.

A research problem, or phenomenon as it might be called in many forms of qualitative
research, is the topic you would like to address, investigate, or study, whether descriptively or
experimentally. It is the focus or reason for engaging in your research. It is typically a topic,
phenomenon, or challenge that you are interested in and with which you are at least
somewhat familiar.
