The Research Problem
1. A research problem refers to a statement
that promptly suggests for conducting an
investigation.
2. A research problem to be designed must
deal with some concerns in a particular field
that may need an improvement or a
solution.
Sources of Research
Problem
1. Theory. Existing social philosophies
and generalizations which the
researcher is familiar with may be of a
great help to design a research
problem.
Sources of Research
Problem
2. Practitioners. Consultation with the
people who have direct experiences
in a field of interest may provide the
researcher an idea of what relevant
problem he/she may investigate.
Sources of Research
Problem
3. Personal experience. Daily
experiences can provide the
researcher an idea of what problem
that needs a solution.
Sources of Research
Problem
4. Relevant literature. An extensive and
thorough review of literature and studies
relevant to the problem interest of the
researcher may enable him/her to come
up with a potential study.
Considerations in Formulating the
Research Problem

1. External Criteria
a. Novelty. The research problem must
carry “newness.” With this, its practical
value would be easily perceived
Considerations in Formulating the
Research Problem

1. External Criteria
b. Availability of subjects. A research
problem, when is subjected to a further
investigation, requires data from the
target subjects
Considerations in Formulating the
Research Problem

1. External Criteria
c. Support of the academic community. The
academic community, which consists of
administrators, teachers, staff, students, and
parents, should be considered by the
researcher in what particular problem will be
investigated.
Considerations in Formulating the
Research Problem

1. External Criteria
d. Availability and adequacy of facilities and
equipment. Necessary common devices such as
computers and telephones which will be used
in undertaking a study should be considered.
Considerations in Formulating the
Research Problem

1. External Criteria
e. Ethical considerations. A research problem,
when is subjected to a study, must not pose any
unethical demands most especially on the part
of the research participants.
Considerations in Formulating the
Research Problem

2. Internal Criteria
a. Qualifications of the researcher. These
pertain to the expertise of the researcher to the
problem.
Considerations in Formulating the
Research Problem

2. Internal Criteria
b. Motivation and interest of the researcher.
The research problem which is in the interest of
the researcher may give him/her satisfaction
and enjoyment.
Considerations in Formulating the
Research Problem

2. Internal Criteria
c. Time factor. A research problem, when is
subjected to a study, should suggest to be time-
efficient.
Considerations in Formulating the
Research Problem

2. Internal Criteria
d. Costs and returns. It is also important that
the researcher should consider a research
problem which suggests to be cost-efficient.
Considerations in Formulating the
Research Problem

2. Internal Criteria
e. Hazards and handicaps. This means that a
research problem should not put the researcher
in danger.

Research Title

A research title is the first one to

be read before proceeding to the
other parts of the research paper.
Characteristics of a Research
Title

1. It should be limited only to substantive

words with high consideration to the key
variables such as the phenomenon under
investigation, the participants, and the
setting of the study.
Characteristics of a Research
Title

2. It should use words that can create a

positive impression among the readers.
Avoid using abbreviations as well as some
word constructions such as: “method,”
“result,” and “investigation.”
Characteristics of a Research
Title

3. It should be in the form of a phrase

with correct use of capitalization, that is,
the first letter appeared in the title as
well as the first letter of each noun word
should be capitalized.
Characteristics of a Research
Title

4. It should be concise by adequately

implying the participants and the
coverage of the study.
Characteristics of a Research
Title
A researcher may also put a subtitle which is
commonly employed in social science research
papers. This subtitle may be done:
(1) to state the scope, context, and theory under
investigation; and
(2) to provide a substantive and appealing literary
title.
Characteristics of a Good
Research Title
•It should predict the content of the research
paper.
•It should be interesting to the reader.
•It should reflect the tone of the writing.
•It should contain important keywords that
will make it easier to be located during a
keyword search.
Characteristics of a Good
Research Title

Make sure your research title describes (a)

the topic, (b) the method, (c) the sample,
and (d) the results of your study.

[Result]: A [method] study of [topic]

among [sample]
