Definition of Reaserch
Problem
A research problem is a problem, issue, or question that
triggers or is the main reason why a study needs to be
conducted (Creswell, 1994).

The differences between research problem in

quantitative and qualitative research

It is important to ensure strong alignment between

the nature of the research problem and the research
methods to be used by identify the nature of the
research question to be answered, the characteristics
of the data available, the level of complexity of the
problem being studied, and the research objectives to
be achieved
 The Differences Morse (1991)
Qualitative
• The concept is "nascent" due to a conspicuous
absence of theory and prior research;
• There is a notion that the existing theories
may be inaccurate, inappropriate, incorrect, or
biased;
• There exists a need to delve into and describe
the phenomena, eventually culminating in
theory development.
• The nature of the phenomenon may not lend
itself well to quantitative measurements
Quantitative
• Best addressed by comprehending the
factors or variables that exert influence on
an outcome.
• Researchers occasionally advance a theory
to be tested and undertake comprehensive
literature reviews to identify research
questions that necessitate answers.
• Typically articulated from an impersonal
perspective and presented in the past tense
to convey a sense of objectivity.
 The Differences Creswell (2012)

Qualitative Quantitative
• Learn about the views of individuals • Measure Variables
• Assess a process over time • Assess the impact of these
• Generate theories based on participant variables on an outcome
perspectives • Test theories or broad explanation
• Apply results to a large number of

Strategies for Writing a "Statement of
research problem"
• The topic
• The research problem
• A justification of the importance of the problem
• The deficiencies in our existing knowledge about the problem.
• The audiences that will benefit from a study of the problem

Strategies for Writing a "Statement of
research problem"

6. use frequent references

7. Be cautious about using quotes from the literature to begin a
study, especially in the first sentence

Conclusion
Formulating a research problem is a crucial step in scientific research,
helping to define the direction and urgency of the study. The research
problem statement includes the introduction of the topic, its
significance, and the justification for the research, as well as an
emphasis on existing knowledge gaps. References and supporting
statistical data are essential to demonstrate the significance of the
research problem.
