As depicted from the scenario presented in the
reading selection, students at their age can
also face different struggles. This further
implies that nobody is exempted, that is,
problems which may be represented as a
challenge or a difficulty can be possibly
encountered by anyone. Now, as a senior high
school student, it is undeniable that you are
encountering problems as well. Perhaps, you
may also relate yourself with the situations of
the characters from the selection whose
problem may arise from issues and concerns
regarding time management, study habit,
motivation, and the like which later can affect
the academic performance
The Research Problem
research problem refers to a statement that promptly
suggests forn conducting an investigation. Moreover,
a research problem to be designed must deal with
some concerns in a particular field that may need an
improvement or a solution. The researcher must also
observe gaps in existing scholarly literature, theories,
and practices in order to come up with a good and
relevant research problem. This designed problem
then will serve as a guide to know what kind of
research study will be most suitable to address the
perceived concern.
 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. The researcher may
observe if there is a gap between theory and
practice. Difference between what is said by
the elders and what the youngsters see and
observe may be a potential source of a
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. 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.
Sources of Research
Problem
3. Personal experience. Daily
experiences can provide the researcher
an idea of what problem that needs a
solution. Observation on what is
happening in the community may allow
him/her to see the common concerns of
people or institutions which may be
subjected for investigation.
 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. Through reviewing
other available researches, the researcher
may be able to determine gaps in knowledge
and to subject them for replication. Thus, a
good research problem will be ensured.
 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.
b. Availability of subjects. A research
problem, when is subjected to a further
investigation, requires data from the target
subjects. Hence, the researcher must ensure that
there will be available participants who are capable
of providing data needed for the study.
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. Each
member plays a vital role in the conduct of the
study. Hence, the research problem should be
clearly perceived as beneficial once it is subjected
for investigation. In addition, securing permission
among the said members must be done before
conducting the actual data collection procedure.
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.
Likewise, other needed materials required by the
research problem should be checked if they are
available and sufficient.
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.
2. Internal Criteria
a. Qualifications of the researcher. These
pertain to the expertise of the researcher to
the problem. It is important to the researcher
that he/she has enough knowledge and
training when the research problem is
subjected tofurther investigation so as to
ensure the success of the undertaking.
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. Hence, completion of the
research tasks will be efficiently attained.
c. Time factor. A research problem, when is
subjected to a study, should suggest to be
time-efficient. With this, the undertaking will
be possibly accomplished in a given time
frame.
d. Costs and returns. It is also important that
the researcher should consider a research
problem which suggests to be cost-efficient.
When it is subjected to a study, it must not be
a sort of an expensive undertaking.
e. Hazards and handicaps. 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
Research Title
 Once the researcher has already had a problem
that will be subjected for a study, he/she may
now begin formulating a good research title
that will best represent the problem and the
study itself in general. a research title should
help the readers to see the main idea as well as
the summary of the whole study. Further, it
usually contains fewest possible words that can
bring understanding of the content and the
purpose of the study among thereaders.
 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.
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.”
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.
4. It should be concise by adequately
implying the participants and the
coverage of the study.
In addition, 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.
