The document discusses the characteristics and criteria for evaluating a good research problem. A good research problem should be specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and time-bound. It should address an area of concern, be novel, interesting, practical, innovative, and cost-effective. A research problem aims to answer a question or condition that requires investigation.

It is a statement about an area of concern,
a condition to be improved upon, a

theory, or practice that points to the need
for a meaningful understanding and
deliberate investigation.

Research Problem
It may be expressed in declarative or
interrogative form. In some social
science disciplines, however, the
research problem is typically posed in the
form of one or more questions.

Research Problem
A research problem, commonly called
the heart of research, is what the
researchers aim to answer later on as
they go through the research endeavor.

Characteristics of a
Research Problem
•A research problem is not just
answerable by yes or no. It should imply
that explanations and justifications
regarding the true situation or
observation are required.
•A research problem implies relationship
between the variables of the study.

Criteria for Evaluation of a
Good Research Problem
1. Novel
A good research problem should be
something that is new. It may be a new
process, product, or principle.

3. Practical
The aim of research is to improve
people’s quality of living. A good
research problem then should be useful
and beneficial to its target population.

5. Cost-Effective
A good research problem should provide
a good value for money, time, resources,
and manpower while conducting the
study. It should be economical in
addressing the problems of the
community.

Criteria for Evaluation of a
Good Research Problem
MEASURABLE
The research problem should be
quantifiable or observable. This may
include interviews, surveys, or recorded
observations such as videos and audio
recordings. There should be instruments
that will help the researchers gather data
from their respondents.

Criteria for Evaluation of a
Good Research Problem
ATTAINABLE
A research problem should be easily
achieved, solved, or answered by the
researcher after all valid procedures had
been carried out.

TIME-BOUND
Researchers should also consider the
time allotment for their research. They
should think of a research problem that
could be carried out in the given time
period.
