Evaluation Chunk #1
1. What is a research problem?

 Research problem is an issue or concern that an investigator
presents and justifies in a research study.
 Research problem involves areas of concerns to researchers for
condition they want to improve, difficulties they want to eliminate,
and questions for which they want to seek answers.
2. What is the difference between a thesis and a dissertation?

 A thesis or dissertation is a document submitted in support of
candidature degree of professional qualification presenting the
author’s research and findings.
 Thesis is also referring to the general claim of an essay or similar
work.
 In some countries/universities, the word “thesis” or a cognate is
used as a part of a bachelor’s or master’s course, while
“dissertation” is normally applied to a doctorate, while in others,
reverse is true.
 Dissertation can be at times be used to describe a treatise without
relation to obtaining an academic degree.
3. List at least four (4) possible sources of problems.

 Interview
 Work experience

 T
4. Enumerate at least four (4) characteristics of a good problem.

 Interest of the topic
 Useful for the concerned people in a particular field
 A good problem is possessing novelty
 A good problem is one which invites more complex designing
 A good problem can be completed in the alloyed time desired
 A good problem does not carry ethical or moral empidements.
5. Why is it that a good problem must be of great interest to the researcher?

 This factor is considered important because if you are really
interested in the problem you wish to work on, it will be easy for
you to surmount any impending problems that may come along the
way.
6. What are the different considerations of presenting a good title?

 The statement of a good problem can be expressed either general
or specific. Basically every research starts with a problem or
problems. On the other hand, after selecting a theme or topic to
write on, the researcher considers the title of the research and
criterion measurers exist for presenting a good one.

1. What are meaning of thesis?

 A thesis or dissertation is a document submitted in support of
candidature degree of professional qualification presenting the
author’s research and findings.
2. What are different sources of problems?

Problems may raise anywhere, there are so many problems around
us, some problems are easy to solve but problems in research
require time and intensive effort. The following sources are;
 Interview
 Work experience
3. What are different characteristics of a good problem?

 A good problem is possessing novelty
 A good problem is one which invites more complex
designing
 A good problem can be completed in the alloyed time
desired
 A good problem does not carry ethical or moral
empidements
4. How do we state the problem of research report?

 The statement of the problem can be stated generally or
specifically.
5. How can we make the research problem specific?

 After the selection of the theme or topic to write on, the
researcher considers the title of the research and what
criterion measures exist for presenting a good one.
6. What are the different considerations in writing a good title of

the research?
 After writing the title of the research based on criterion
measures, it is necessary to formulate the hypothesis of
our research or thesis.
7. What is the difference of hypothesis to an assumption?

 A hypothesis is an educated guess about the answer to a
scientific question. A researcher trying to discover the
relationship between two variables must believe that the
relationship between the two variables exists and can be
discovered. This belief is called research assumption. The
most basic assumption in research is that every thing in
this world works under a certain system. It is the job of a
researcher, therefore, to discover the system believed to
exist. That system can be predicted in advance based on
theory or logical common sense. That prediction is called
research hypothesis. Research hypothesis is of at least
three kinds, each of which should not be confused.
8. What are the functions of hypothesis in a research or thesis?
 As stated previously, a hypothesis functions as an
answer to the research question and guides data
collection and interpretation. A hypothesis enables
researchers not only to discover a relationship between
variables, but also to predict a relationship based on
theoretical guidelines and/or empirical evidence.
9. How can we consider a hypothesis as good one?

 Good hypotheses are testable hypotheses. This means
that one can actually carry out the intent of the question
reflected by the hypothesis. For example, number of
hours of parental reading and outcome scores as
measured by a test of comprehension are all objective
and can be incorporated reliably.
10. What are the different types of hypothesis and how they differ
from each other?
 The hypothesis can be inductive or deductive, simple or
complex, null or alternative. While the null hypothesis
is the hypothesis, which is to be actually tested, whereas
alternative hypothesis gives an alternative to the null
hypothesis. Null hypothesis implies a statement that
expects no difference or effect.
