The Research Problem
In starting with a research project, the researcher must have a clear problem in
mind.
Basically, a RESEARCH PROBLEM refers to a statement that promptly suggests
for investigating.
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 to produce 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. 9
Sources of Research Problem
There is a need for a socially relevant
problem when the researcher will attempt to
conduct a study. Hence, it is said that identifying
and designing a research problem is quite a
challenging task. Familiarity with the potential
sources, meanwhile, may help the researcher to
produce a good research problem
Sources of Research Problem
Four (4) varied sources can be considered.

Theory. Existing social philosophies and

1 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 youngers see and observe
may be a potential source of a problem..
Sources of Research Problem
Four (4) varied sources can be considered.

Practitioners. Consultation with the people who

2
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
Four (4) varied sources can be considered.

Personal experience. Daily experiences can

3 provide the researcher an idea of what

problem that needs a solution. Observation on
what is happening in the community may
allow to see the common concerns of people or
institution which may be subjected for
investigation.
Sources of Research Problem
Four (4) varied sources can be considered.

Relevant literature. An extensive and thorough

4
review of literature and studies relevant to the problem
interest of the researcher may enable him/her to
produce 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
There are criteria which should be
considered by the researcher to arrive with a good
research problem- cited from the book of Cristobal
and Cristobal (2017), they adopted the proposed
criteria of Barrientos-Tan (1997) from the book
entitled A Research Guide in Nursing Education.
 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
16
 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 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.
17
 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. 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.
18
 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 an enough knowledge and training
when the research problem is subjected to further investigation so
as to ensure the success of the undertaking.
b. Motivation and interest of the researcher. The research
problem which is on the interest of the researcher may give
him/her satisfaction and enjoyment. Hence, completion of the
research tasks will be efficiently attained.
19
2. Internal Criteria
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 must
always be considered. 20
 Research Title
Once the researcher has already had a problem that will be
subjected for a study, you 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 your readers.
21
 Characteristics of a Research Title
Research title is the first one to be read before
proceeding to the other parts of the research paper, it is
important to know what makes a research title an effective
one to capture the interest of the readers towards the problem
to be investigated.

22
 Characteristics of research title to be considered:
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. 23
Examples of Qualitative Research Title
Similar with all other parts of a research paper, the title must be carefully
formulated., existing research titles may serve as a basis especially for beginning
researchers. These are examples of title in qualitative research:
1. The ‘Need to Transcend’: A Phenomenological Study on the Lived Experiences
of Millennial Teachers (Lacdo-O et al., 2018)
2. The Educated Citizen: Cultural and Gender Capital in the Schooling of Aetas’
Children in the Municipality of Janiuay (Moralista & Delariarte, 2014)
3. This Too Shall Pass: A Grounded Theory Study of Filipino Cancer
Survivorship (de Guzman et al., 2012)
4. Local Studies Centers: Transforming History, Culture and Heritage in the
Philippines (Perez & Templanza, 2012)
5. President Rodrigo Roa Duterte’s Political Speeches: A Critical Discourse
Analysis (Remorosa, 2018)
