STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM Flashcards
It is used to clarify various essential elements of research such as the major variables, the general and specific objectives, and appropriate methodology.
statement of the problem
ENUMERATE THE Important elements of research problems
- Main tasks
- Main or major variables
- Participants: subjects or respondents
- The specific setting
- Coverage date of the conduct of study
- For development research, the intended outputs such as intervention program, module, policies, among others.
they satisfy the question “what to do” with the major variables such as to associate, to relate, to assess, to measure or to determine, etc.
Main tasks
Specific problems must be?
- They must be in question form.
- They must define the population and the sample of the study.
- They must identify the variables being studied
- They must be empirically tested.
What are the types of questions
-Non-researchable questions
-Researchable questions
These questions are answerable by yes or no
EX:
1. Will a students from broken family prove their worth in the community?
2. Should all mothers breastfeed their babies?
3. Do all high school teachers have a Master’s degree?
Non-researchable questions
- Are questions of value, opinions, or policy raised to gather data.
- It prepares the researcher for subsequent decision-making over research design, data collection, and data analysis.
Researchable questions
Enumerate the types of research question
-Factor-Isolating Questions
- Factor- Relating Questions
-Situation-Relating questions
- Situation-Producing questions
- (what is this?)
- they are sometimes called factor naming question.
-They isolate, categorize, describe or name factors and situations.
ex :
What is the level of description of the study habits of senior high students in terms of:
1.1 review time
1.2 place of review; and
1.3 techniques in studying
-Factor-Isolating Questions
-(What will happen if?)
- This questions usually yield hypotheses testing or experimental study designs in which the researcher manipulates the variables to see what will happen.
ex:
What are the effects of the traditional methods of teaching on the level of performance of the ABM students?
What is the most effective food supplements to be given to increase the productivity of the tilapia farming?
-Situation-Relating questions
- (How can I make it happen?)
-These questions establish explicit goals for actions, develop plans or prescriptions to achieve goals, and specify the conditions which these goals will be accomplished.
ex:
Based on the findings, what human relation intervention program can be adopted to enhance or improve school effectiveness?
How can counselling services be organized to promote family bonding among parents and elementary school pupils.
- Situation-Producing questions
- (What is happening here?).
-Their goal is to determine the relationship among factors that have been identified. These are usually questions for a non-experimental type of research.
Ex:
1. What is the relationship of the level of performance of the college instructors to the OJT performance of HRM students of the Tacloban School Business?
2. What is the significant association between the nature and economic status of the family and the social status of the junior students?
Factor-Relating questions
