6 SOURCES OF RESEARCH PROBLEMS
1 a feeling of discomfort like during recitation or in making projects;
2. perceived difficulties in the management and leadership of the class president or the
adviser:
3. a gap between theory and practice;
4. a daily experience of a person that requires further inquiry especially if improvements
are desired;
5. a procedure that requires technologically advanced equipment which needs to function
properly
6. a pattern or trend.
5 instances that can give students an idea that something is researchable:
- Solutions are available but not yet tested and not known by the practitioner.
- No solutions are available to answer the gap or the problem assessed.
- Answers, solutions, or results are seemingly not tested or are factually contradictory.
- A phenomenon exists which requires explanation.
- There are several possible and plausible explanations for the existence of an undesirable
condition.
CONSIDERATIONS IN FORMULATING RESEARCH PROBLEMS two types of criteria
A. External Criteria
B. Internal Criteria
5 characteristics of Externak Criteria
Novelty
Availability of subjects since this is practical research,
Administrative support
Availability and adequacy of facilities and equipment-devices such as computers,
Ethical Considerations
tople must not have been used by many researchers; the newness of a topic and its variables will inspire a researcher or other fellow researchers.
Novelty
it is suggested that you think of
study participants who are within your reach (i.e.. your classmates, teachers, neighbors).
Availability of subjects since this is practical research,
- refers to the aid or assistance that can be solicited from the school or extended by the community.
Administrative support
devices such as computers,
telephones, WiFi, etc. used in undertaking the research must be considered.
Availability and adequacy of facilities and equipment
ensure that all activities to be undertaken are acceptable and are done in accordance with what is legal and morally right.
Ethical Considerations
5 characteristics of internal criteria
Experience, training and professional qualifications
Motivation, interest, intellectual curiosity, and perceptiveness of the researcher
Time factor
Costs and returns.
Hazards, penalties, and handicaps
