The document outlines the importance of selecting a relevant research problem, highlighting the differentiation between external and internal criteria for evaluation. Key sources for identifying research problems include theory, practitioners, personal experience, and relevant literature. The document further emphasizes the necessity of ethical considerations, community support, and the researcher's qualifications in formulating a strong research problem.

- 3. In research, it's crucial to start with a clear problem in mind. A research problem is a statement that guides an investigation and addresses concerns in a specific field. To create a good research problem, the researcher should identify gaps in existing literature and practices. This problem will guide the choice of research study to address the identified concern. Research Problem
- 4. Sources of Research Problem Selecting a research problem is challenging, as it must be socially relevant. Familiarity with potential sources can assist in this task. According to Sacred Heart University Library (2020), there are four key sources to consider: • Theory • Practitioners • Personal Experience • Relevant Literature
- 5. Sources of Problem Theory Familiarity with existing social philosophies and generalizations can aid in creating a research problem. Researchers can look for gaps between theory and practice, as well as differences between what older generations say and what younger generations observe, as potential sources of research problems. 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. Practitioners such as teachers, social workers, health care providers, etc. are considered to be a good source of problem since they are directly experiencing difficulties and challenges which are needed to be addressed.
- 6. Sources of Problem Personal Experience "Everyday experiences can inspire researchers to identify problems in need of solutions. By observing what's happening in the community, researchers can spot common concerns among people or institutions that may warrant investigation. Relevant Literature A comprehensive review of relevant literature and studies related to the researcher's area of interest can help generate potential research ideas. By examining existing research, the researcher can identify knowledge gaps and areas for further investigation, ensuring the development of a strong research problem.
- 7. For a research problem to be further investigated, it necessitates data from the intended subjects. Therefore, the researcher must ensure the availability of participants capable of providing the necessary data for the study. Availability of subjects Considerations in Formulating the Research Problem In the book by Cristobal and Cristobal (2017), the authors discuss criteria for developing a strong research problem. They adopted the criteria proposed by Barrientos-Tan (1997) from the book 'A Research Guide in Nursing Education.' These criteria are divided into external and internal categories above. The research problem should bring something new to the table, making its practical value evident Novelty
- 8. It’s important to consider essential devices like computers and telephones for the study. Additionally, ensure that all required materials needed for the research problem are both available and sufficient. Availability and adequacy of facilities and equipment Considerations in Formulating the Research Problem In the book by Cristobal and Cristobal (2017), the authors discuss criteria for developing a strong research problem. They adopted the criteria proposed by Barrientos-Tan (1997) from the book 'A Research Guide in Nursing Education.' These criteria are divided into external and internal categories above. The researcher should consider the academic community, including administrators, teachers, staff, students, and parents, when selecting a research problem. Each member plays a crucial role in the study, so the problem should be perceived as beneficial. Additionally, obtaining permission from these members is essential before conducting the actual data collection process. Support of the academic community
- 9. External Criteria When investigating a research problem, it should not place any unethical demands on the research participants, particularly those that could compromise their well-being or rights. Ethical Considerations
- 10. Internal Criteria The researcher's expertise in the specific problem is crucial. It's important that the researcher possesses adequate knowledge and training when investigating the research problem to ensure the success of the study. Qualifications of the researcher
- 11. Internal Criteria When the research problem aligns with the researcher's interests, it can provide satisfaction and enjoyment, leading to more efficient completion of research tasks. Motivation and interest of the researcher
- 12. Internal Criteria A research problem, when investigated, should be conducive to time efficiency, allowing the study to be completed within a specified time frame. Time factor
- 13. Costs and Returns The researcher should also select a research problem that is cost- efficient when studied, avoiding the need for an expensive undertaking. Internal Criteria
- 14. This means that a research problem should not put the researcher in danger. The proposed study should be safe not only to the participants but moreover to the researcher himself/herself. Physical and mental health of the researcher must always be considered Hazards and handicaps Internal Criteria September| 2023
