Introduction
You can give a brief description of the topic you
want to talk about here. For example, if you want to
talk about Mercury, you can say that it’s the smallest
planet in the entire Solar System
Background
Mercury is the closest planet to the
Sun and the smallest in the Solar
System. This planet’s name has
nothing to do with the liquid metal,
since Mercury was named after the
Roman messenger god. Its surface is
filled with craters and plains
Speaking of craters, many of them
were named after artists or authors
who made significant contributions
to their respective fields. Mercury
takes a little more than 58 days to
complete its rotation, so try to
imagine how long days must be there!
Do you know what helps you make your point clear? Lists like this one:
■ They’re simple
■ You can organize your ideas clearly
■ You’ll never forget to buy milk!
And the most important thing: the audience won’t miss the point of
your presentation at all
About formulating a research problem
Identify a relevant research problem
Earth is the third planet from the Sun and the only
one that harbors life in the Solar System

Research question guidelines checklist
Aspect Question to ask yourself ✓ ☓
Clarity Is the question clearly and concisely stated? ✓
Specificity Does the question focus on a well-defined aspect? ☓
Relevance Is the question directly related to the research problem?
Open-endedness Can the question be answered with more than a “yes” or “no”?
Feasibility Are the necessary resources and data available?
Scope Is the question manageable within the study’s scope?
Alignment Does the question contribute to achieving study objectives?
Define study objectives (SMART)
Jupiter is a gas giant and the
biggest planet in the entire
Solar System
Time-bound

  • 6. Introduction You can give a brief description of the topic you want to talk about here. For example, if you want to talk about Mercury, you can say that it’s the smallest planet in the entire Solar System
  • 7. Background Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun and the smallest in the Solar System. This planet’s name has nothing to do with the liquid metal, since Mercury was named after the Roman messenger god. Its surface is filled with craters and plains Speaking of craters, many of them were named after artists or authors who made significant contributions to their respective fields. Mercury takes a little more than 58 days to complete its rotation, so try to imagine how long days must be there!
  • 8. Do you know what helps you make your point clear? Lists like this one: ■ They’re simple ■ You can organize your ideas clearly ■ You’ll never forget to buy milk! And the most important thing: the audience won’t miss the point of your presentation at all About formulating a research problem

  • 13. Research question guidelines checklist Aspect Question to ask yourself ✓ ☓ Clarity Is the question clearly and concisely stated? ✓ Specificity Does the question focus on a well-defined aspect? ☓ Relevance Is the question directly related to the research problem? Open-endedness Can the question be answered with more than a “yes” or “no”? Feasibility Are the necessary resources and data available? Scope Is the question manageable within the study’s scope? Alignment Does the question contribute to achieving study objectives?
  • 14.
