Summary

The transcript explains the importance of formulating a research problem in the early stages of a study. It emphasizes that a good research problem arises from a gap between theory and reality, and guides the direction of the research. Various sources of research problems are discussed, including literature, scientific meetings, and real-life observations. The script introduces the acronym 'FINAL' to assess a research problem: Feasible, Interesting, Novel, Applicable, and Legal/Ethical. The quality of the problem significantly impacts the study's methodology and outcomes, making it crucial to choose a problem that aligns with these criteria.

Q & A

What is the definition of a research problem?

A research problem is a gap or discrepancy between theory and facts, or between expectations and reality. It highlights an issue or challenge that needs to be addressed through research.

Why is identifying a research problem important in the research process?

Identifying a research problem is crucial because it determines the direction of the research. It sets the foundation for the research design, methodology, data collection, and analysis.

What are some common sources for identifying a research problem?

Common sources for identifying a research problem include academic literature (journals, books), conferences, seminars, workshops, practical experiences, and even media reports, although the latter is less reliable.

Can a research problem be derived from personal experience or observations?

Yes, research problems can stem from personal experiences or observations in daily life, medical practice, or industry. These practical insights can highlight real-world gaps that need investigation.

What is the significance of the gap between theory and fact in formulating a research problem?

The gap between theory and fact is significant because it often indicates an area where existing knowledge is insufficient or inaccurate, making it an ideal foundation for further research.

What does the term 'researchability' mean when formulating a research problem?

Researchability refers to whether the problem can be investigated in a feasible way with the available resources, time, and methodology. A researchable problem should be measurable and testable.

How important is ethical consideration when identifying a research problem?

Ethical consideration is essential in identifying a research problem because the research must be conducted in a way that respects participants' rights, safety, and privacy, and adheres to ethical standards.

What does the 'visible' criterion refer to in determining a good research problem?

The 'visible' criterion refers to the clarity and accessibility of the problem. A visible problem is one that is well-defined, has clear objectives, and can be practically investigated with available resources.

What role does novelty play in selecting a research problem?

Novelty is important because a good research problem should explore new or under-researched areas. It should provide an opportunity to contribute original knowledge to the field.

Why should the research problem be determined before the research title?

The research problem should be determined first because it guides the overall design and direction of the study. Once the problem is clear, the title can be crafted to reflect the focus of the research.
