Problem Identification
State clearly the problem (Must be data-based, a
fact, a recorded information)
Is there a learning gap?
Have your class able to achieve the target
learning outcomes?
18. SOCCSKSARGEN REGION
Think of a Probable Solution
Which among the causes can be under your
control? Think of a solution to that problem.
50% of the Grade 7 students
have poor reading skills
No reading practice at
home
No interest in reading
Unavailability of reading
materials

Formulate your Research Questions
What do you want to be answered by your
research?
SOP 1
What is the extent of Grade 7 students’ interest in reading before
the conduct of the PROJECT SERVE?
SOP 2
What is the extent of Grade 7 students’ interest in reading after
the conduct of the PROJECT SERVE?
SOP 3
Is there a significant difference in the extent of Grade 7 students’
interest in reading before and after the conduct of the PROJECT
SERVE?

Problem Identification
Identify the root cause of a problem (May use the
Why-Why Diagram)
60% of the Grade 10 learners are not
sure what course to take in SHS
Students are not fully aware of the
courses in SHS
No career orientation conducted to
them as early as Grade 8
No teacher was assigned to act as
career advocates

Formulate your Research Questions
What do you want to be answered by your
research?
SOP 1
Do the learners in the different Grade Levels are fully aware of
the SHS courses?
SOP 2
Do the learners can identify immediately their interests and
skills?
SOP 3
What career and development program is needed by the Grades 8-
10 learners?
