    1. A problem statement is an important element in research as it clearly identifies the purpose of the research project and outlines the problem that will be addressed. It provides context and direction for the study. 2. To develop a good problem statement, a researcher must identify the problem or issue from different perspectives to explain it clearly. They must also illustrate the concept of the problem by looking at the research questions and objectives. 3. Key steps include establishing a conceptual framework that explains the variables to be investigated and how they relate. The researcher should then have a general concept of the problem and set targets, writing the problem statement concisely and providing credible evidence and support for the problem.

    What is a Problem Statement?


    A problem statement is the description of an issue currently existing which needs to be
    addressed. A problem statement is used in research work as a claim that outlines the problem
    addressed by a study. The problem statement briefly explains the problem that the research will
    address. It provides the context for the research study and generates the questions which the
    research aims to answer. The problem statement is the focal point of any research. A good
    problem statement is just one sentence with several paragraphs of elaboration for the issues
    discussed. It should be accompanied by a few paragraphs that elaborate on the problem. The
    paragraphs could cover present persuasive arguments that make the problem important enough to
    study. They could include the opinions of others (Politicians, futurist, professionals, scholars,
    experts) that explain of how the problem relates to business, social trends, or public interest via
    presentation of data that demonstrates the scope and depth of the problem.

    The ultimate goal of a problem statement is to transform a generalized problem (something that
    bothers you; a perceived lack) into a targeted, well-defined problem; one that can be resolved
    through focused research and careful decision-making. Writing a problem statement should help
    you clearly identify the purpose of the research project you will propose. Often, the problem
    statement will also serve as the basis for the introductory section of your final proposal, directing
    your reader’s attention quickly to the issues that your proposed project will address and
    providing the reader with a concise statement of the proposed project itself.

    Explain the reasons why problem statement is an important element in your research. Elaborate
    the steps taken by a researcher in developing good problem statement in research.

    1. EXPLAIN WHY PROBLEM STATEMENT IS IMPORTANT ELEMENT IN


    RESEARCH
    Problem statement is related to the problem or issues highlighted in a study which need to
    be addressed. Problem statement is very important in the research to clearly identify the purpose
    of the research project that will propose. Formulating the problem statement enables the
    researcher to make a purpose of the study clear to their self and the target readers. The problem
    statement would outline the problem that occurs in the current situation that makes the
    researchers make an investigation regarding that study. It places the problem into a particular
    context that defines the parameters of what is to be investigated. With the availability of problem
    statement, the researcher may put a limit on the nature and the scope of research studies to be
    examined.

    Next, the importance of problem statement in research is to address an existing gap in


    knowledge in the field and lead to further research. Problem statement is a brief description of
    the problem that need to be addressed which providing the reader with a concise statement of the
    proposed project itself. It provides as the framework and indicates what is probably necessary to
    conduct the study and explain the how the findings will present the information. The primary
    purpose of a problem statement is to modify a general problem into a targeted problem which
    can be overcome by focused analysis and cautious decision-making[ CITATION Hen18 \l 1033 ].

    Besides that, the importance of problem statement in the research is to attract reader’s
    attention. This is because the problem statement will be established to introduce the reader the
    importance of the research topic that need to be studied. A good problem statement will not only
    clear concise description of the issue but will also capture the readers attention. Most people do
    not want to leave the questions unanswered and they will continue reading to see how the
    problem can be resolve. In other words, not only is it a good methodological practice to present a
    problem statement but it also happens to be a great literary technique as well.
    2. ELABORATE THE STEPS TAKEN BY RESEARCHER TO DEVELOPING A GOOD
    PROBLEM STATEMENT FOR A RESEARCH.

    The problem statement in a research is the declaration of the research interest carried out
    by both an academic point of view, and often similar statements are arranged as a guide to the
    problem statement in the introductory section (Nasution et al., 2019). The researcher should
    approach the topic from a clear viewpoint and make the viewpoint understandable or specific. At
    this point, the researcher needs to presented a problem occurs and identified six different ways
    by looked at the same issue. Both of the perspectives make it easier to explain the issue
    differently, because as a respondent, multiple questions are raised and different respondents are
    involved.

    Next, the researcher must illustrate the concept of the problem by looking at the research
    question and the objectives. For example, if the researcher has an issue to be conducted, the
    researcher must know what areas of concern and condition that would be improved in the
    studies. The researcher should figure out what are difficulties that need to be eliminated in
    conducting the studies. If the researcher has developed the cause, the researcher needs to figured
    out the question through economically perspective, managerial perspective or academic
    perspectives. For example, academic perspective is much known but knowledge is scattered. It
    has much results in the topic but the result might contradict. The researcher should establish a
    conceptual framework that specifically explains what variables are to be investigated and how
    they contribute to each other.

    Lastly, the researcher should have a general concept of the problem and set the targets if
    the research is specifically figured out. The researcher must make the problem statement short
    with are concise and effective. The researcher must no create conflict between the opinion of
    various people on the issue. The statement must provide some authoritative support and credible
    evidence of the problem from the related journal, articles, or news.
