 Meaning of Research Problem
The ultimate goal of the research is not only to
purpose ways of studying things, people, and events,
but also to discover and introduce new practices,
strategies, or techniques in solving problem.

 Meaning of Research Question
Research questions aim at investigating specific aspects of
the research problem. Though deduced from the general or
mother question, one specific question may lead to another
sub-problem or sub-question, requiring a different data-
gathering technique and directing the research to a
triangulation or mixed method approach.

 Guidelines in formulating Research Question

1. Establish a clear relation between the research questions and the

problem or topic.
2. Base your research questions on your RRL or Review of Related
Literature because existing publish works help you get good
background knowledge of the research problem and help you gauge
the people’s current understanding about the topic, as well as the
extent of their knowledge and interest in it.

 Guidelines in formulating Research Question
3. Formulate research questions that can arouse your curiosity and
surprise you with your discoveries and findings.
4. State your research questions in such a way that they include all
dependent and independent variables referred by the theories,
principles, or concepts underlying your research work.
5. Let the set of research questions or sub-problems be preceded by one
question expressing the main problem of the research.

 Guidelines in formulating Research Question

6. Avoid asking research questions that are answerable

by “yes” or “no” and use the “how” questions only
in a quantitative research.
7. Be guided by the acronym SMART (specific,
measurable, attainable, realistic, time -bound) in
formulating research questions.

 CHAPTER I
Scope and Delimitation

The scope of a study explains the extent to which the research area

will be explored in the work and specifies the parameters within which
the study will be operating. Thus, delimitations are the characteristics
that limit the scope and describe the boundaries of the study, such as
the sample size, geographical location or setting in which the study
takes place, population traits, etc.
