    Considerations in choosing a research problem

    WORKABILITY •
    Does the contemplated study remain within
    the limits of your resource and time?
    •
    Will you have access to the necessary
    sample in the numbers required?
    •
    Can you come up with an answer to the
    problem?
    •
    Is the required methodology manageable
    and understandable to you?

    CRITICAL MASS •
    Is the problem of sufficient magnitude and
    scope to fulfill the requirement that
    motivated the study in the first place?
    •
    Does the study target enough variables?
    •
    Has it identified enough potential results?
    •
    Will it give enough data to write about?
    Considerations in choosing a research problem

    INTEREST •
    Are you interested in the problem area,
    specific problem and potential solution?
    •
    Does it relate to your background? To your
    career interests?
    •
    Will you learn useful skills from pursuing the
    study?
    •
    Will others be interested in it?

    •
    Will it lead to a publishable report?
    •
    Does it help explain why something
    happened?
    Considerations in choosing a research problem

    PRACTICAL •
    Will the solution to the problem improve
    VALUE respondent’s condition?
    •
    Are practitioners likely to be interested in the
    results?
    •
    Will society be improved by the outcome?
    •
    Will your own practice likely change as a result?
    How to formulate a research problem?

    Identify main area of interest

    Dissect the main area of interest into sub-areas

    Select the sub-area to be the study focus

    Identify main research questions to be answered

    Formulate the specific objectives of the study

    Assess the feasibility of time, literature

    Develop a title for the study
