RESEARCH PROBLEM AND REVIEW OF LITERATURE
DEFINE RESEARCH PROBLEM
PRESENTATION OBJECTIVES
PRESENTATION OUTLINE
DEFINITION
ELEMENTS OF RESEARCH
GUIDELINES IN THE SELECTION OF A RESEARCH PROBLEM
SOURCES OF RESEARCH PROBLEM
CRITERIA IN FORMULATING THE RESEARCH PROBLEM
•According to Kerlinger, ‘
. The answer to question will provide what is
having sought in the research.
•R.S. Woodworth defines problem as
i.e. The solution
can be found out only after an investigation.
an area of concern
a troubling question
a difficulty
to be
eliminated
a condition
to be
improved
A Research Problem, or phenomenon as it might
be called in many forms of qualitative research, is
the topic you would like to address, investigate, or
study, whether descriptively or experimentally.
1. or aim of the problem which is to be investigated.
2. or theme which needs to be investigated.
3. The of a decision problem is always the
future.
4. The in which the study is to be
conducted.
5. from whom the data needs to be
gathered.
1. Select a
research
topic
2. Originality
3. Feasibility
4. Solvable/
Researchable
5. Current 6. Interesting
Personal
Experiences
Journals,
Books,
Theses and
Mass Media
Symposia,
Dialogues
Theories
EXTERNAL CRITERIA NOVELTY – practical value of the problem
AVAILABILITY OF THE SUBJECTS – capability and willingness of the
respondents to participate
SUPPORT OF THE ACADEMIC COMMUNITY – assistance given by the
members of an institution
AVAILABILITY AND ADEQUACY OF THE FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENTS –
refers to whether or not needed for research are available
ETHICAL CONSIDERATIONS – avoidance of unethical demands on
the part of research participants.
INTERNAL CRITERIA
EXPERIENCES, TRAINING AND QUALIFICATION OF THE RESEARCHER –
refers to the researcher’s knowledge and expertise as results of
experience and study.
MOTIVATION, INTERESTS, AND INTELLECTUAL CURIOSITY OF THE
RESEARCHER – refers to the essential attitudes of the researchers
that brings enjoyment and satisfaction to him in doing the
researcher.
HAZARD, PENALTIES, AND HANDICAPS – refers to the researcher’s
physical and intellectual capacity and moral judgement.
This is one of the most
important parts of a
research report. This focus
of the study and all
questions stated should be
categorically answered.
Basically, every research
starts with a problem/s. At
the start, the problem it
may have chosen is very
broad. In this case, it needs
to be made specific. Or the
major problem may be
broken into smaller limited
ones
RESEARCH PROBLEM AND REVIEW OF LITERATURE
DEFINE THE LOCATING AND
REVIEWING THE LITERATURE
PRESENTATION OBJECTIVES
PRESENTATION OUTLINE
LITERATURE REVIEW
important that your literature review is focused. Therefore, you
should choose a limited number of studies that are central to your
topic rather than trying to collect a wide range of studies that might
not be closely connected.
a summary of studies related to a particular area. It
identifies and summarizes all the relevant research
conducted on a particular topic.
1. It helps researchers have an area of similar and related
studies.
2. It helps them weigh information from a literature
review in the light of their own concerns and situation.
3. This is required in for master’s and doctorate students
when they design a thesis or a dissertation.
1. A literature review helps researchers learn what others
have written about a topic.
2. It lets researchers see the results of other related
studies.
3. A detailed literature review is often required in a masters or
doctoral students when they design a thesis or dissertation.
Go to general
questions
Be specific:
What strategies
should be used so
principals can be
judged to be
effective?
Define the
research
problem as
precisely as
possible.
1. These are key words and phrases pertinent to the problem or
question of interest
2. These words or phrases are called descriptors
3. Possible technical terms are team teaching, joint teaching,
cooperative teaching
4. In history consider terms such as reduction, neocolonialism,
neo imperialism, animism, counter culture, etc.
• – these contain reports of research on a
wide range of educational topics. In Education, try the Educational
Research Journal, Educational Administration Quarterly, etc.
• – made by local school districts and professional
associations
• This makes the searches of the literature fairly inexpensive,
provides printouts and enable researchers to search more than one
descriptor at one time.
• The steps in a traditional manual are similar to those in a
computer search
• Some of the information in the Web are classified into indexes
• To obtain specific information search engines should be used
