This document discusses the process of selecting and formulating a research problem. It begins by defining a research problem as a question or issue that a researcher aims to solve. The selection of a research problem depends on factors like the researcher's knowledge and interests. It then outlines the steps in formulating a research problem, including reviewing literature, delimiting the topic, evaluating feasibility, and stating the problem clearly. The goal is to identify a problem that is significant, can be researched, and is feasible given constraints of time, resources and the researcher's abilities.

Included all types of data collection.Includes primary data collection and secondary data collection. Described each and every classification of Data collections which are included in KTU Kerala.
Research Objective
Research is an organized investigation of a problem in which there is an attempt to gain solution to a problem.
To get right solution of a right problem, clearly defined objectives are very important.
Clearly defined objectives enlighten the way in which the researcher has to proceed.
What is Research Objective?
A research objective is a clear, concise, declarative statement, which provides direction to investigate the variables.
Generally research objective focus on the ways to measure the variables , such as to identify or describe them.
Sometime objectives are directed towards identifying the relationship or difference between two variables.
Research objective are the results sought by the researcher at the end of the research process, i.e. what the researcher will be able to achieve at the end of the research study.
The objectives of a research project summarize what is to be achieved by the study.
Objective should be closely related to the statement of the problem.
CHARACTERISTICS OF RESEARCH OBJECTIVES
Research objectives is a concrete statement describing what the research is trying to achieve. A well-worded objective will be SMART, i.e Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, & Time-bound.
Research objective should be Relevant, Feasible, Logical, Observable, Unequivocal & Measurable.
Objective is a purpose that can be reasonably achieved within the expected timeframe &with the available resources.
The objective or research project summarizes what is to be achieved by the study.
The research objectives are the specific accomplishment the researchers hopes to achieve by the study
The objective include obtaining answers to research questions or testing the research hypothesis.
Why need Research Objectives?
The formulation of research objectives will help researcher to:
With clearly defined objectives, the researchers can focus on the study.
Avoid the collection of data which are not strictly necessary for understanding & solving problem that he or she has defined.
The formulation of objectives organize the study in clearly defined parts or phases.
Properly formulated, specific objectives will facilitate the development of research methodology & will help to orient the collection, analysis, interpretation, &utilization of data.
Types of Research Objectives
General Objective
General objectives are broad goals to be achieved.
The general objectives of the study state what the researcher expects to achieve by the study in general terms.
General objectives are usually less in number.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2. INTRODUCTION
A research problem is a question that researcher
wants to answer or a problem that a researcher
wants to solve
Identification & formulation of a research problem is
the first step of the research process.
Selection of research problem depends on several
factors such as researcher’s knowledge, skills,
interest, expertise, motivation & creativity with
respect to the subject of inquiry.
It is like the identification of a destination before
under taking a journey
Without a problem , research cannot proceed
because there is nothing to proceed to ward.
3. Count…
“If one wants to solve a problem , one must generally
know what the problem is . It can be said that a large
part of the problem lies in knowing what one is trying
to do.
Research problem may take a number of forms ,
from the very simple to the very complex
Research Topic:
The broad general area expected to investigate. It is a
broad idea or concept from which many problems may be
delineated.
Research Problem:
A situation or circumstance that requires a solution to be
described, explained, or predicted. It is an unsatisfactory
4. DEFINITION
According to Kerlinger, ‘A problem is an
interrogative sentence or statement that asks what
relation exists between two or more variable. The
answer to question will provide what is having
sought in the research.
R.S. Woodworth defines problem as ‘a situation for
which we have no ready & successful response by
instinct or by previous acquired habit. We must find
out what to do’, i.e. the solution can be found out
only after an investigation.
In other words, ‘a research problem is an area of
concern where there is a gap in the knowledge
base needed for professional practices.

6. SELECTION OF RESEARCH
PROBLEM
Any research problem does exist if the following condition
are in existence:-
1.There must be an individual or a group or an
organization having different types of environment.
2.There must be atlest two course of action is defined by
one or more values of the controlled variable.
3. There must be atlest two possible outcomes .Out of
these two a researcher wants an objective.
7. Count…
4. The courses of action available must provide some
chance of obtaining the objective but they cannot
provide the same chance as they have unequal
efficiencies for the desired result.
R.L.ACKOFF has discussed the five components of a
research problem as under:-
1. Research consumer:
-individuals or group which have some difficulty or
problem. they may be researcher or other.
2. Research – consumer’s objective:-
- there must be some objective to be attained as
the research consumer must have something to get
it. If one wants noting one cannot have a problem.
8. Count…
3.Alternative means to meet the objective:
-this means that there must be at least two means(courses
of action) available to a researcher or if has no choice of
means, he/she cannot have a problem.
4. Doubt in regard to selection of alternatives:
-the existence of alternative courses of action is not enough
to experience a problem
-The researcher must have some doubt as to which
alternative to select.
-without such a doubt there can be no problem
5. There must be one or more environments:
- there must be some environment to which the difficulty or
problem pertains
- A researcher may have doubts as to which will be most
efficient means in one environment.
- -some problems are specific to any one environment while
others are quite general.
9. The following points should be kept in mind by a researcher in
selecting a research problem:
1.The subject on which research work has been overdue should
not be chosen, because it will be a difficult task to throw any
new light.
2.The problem should neither be too narrow nor too vague.
3.The topic of the research should be familiar and feasible so
that the researcher can easily have an access to related
research materials or source of research.
4.Controversial subject should be avoided while selecting a
research problem.
5.While selecting a research problem the researcher should also
take into account the various factors such as the importance of
subject, the qualifications , the training of researcher , the
investment elements in the research in terms of time, money and
energy.
6.The selection of any research problem must be preceded by a
13. Selection of a research
areas
Reviewing the literature &
theories
Delimiting the research
topic
Evaluating the research
problem
Formulating final statement
of research problem
14. Selection of a research area:
Formulation of a research problem begins with
selection of a broad research topic from personal
experience, literature, previous research, & theories in
which researcher is interested & has significance for
library profession.
For example, a researcher gets an idea to conduct a
study on the Impact of library internship on MLIS
Student.
Therefore, he or she initially begins with such broad
research topic.
15. Reviewing literature & theories:
After getting a broad idea for research, he or she needs
to review the LISc. literature & theories.
Literature is reviewed to know what has already been
done in this selected areas of research.
Review of library theories provides an opportunity for
LISc researcher to plan a research problem to
contribute towards either testing or development of a
theory/conceptual model.
16. Delimiting the research topic:
In this step, researcher proceeds from a general area of
interest to more specific topic of research to conduct a
study.
For example, initially a researcher decides to conduct a
study on Impact of library internship on MLIS Student;
later in this stage researcher limits it to specific research
topic ‘a study on perception of MLIS Students about
impact on internship in pondicherry university ’.
In this stage, a researcher clearly identifies variables,
population, & setting of research study.
17. Evaluating the research problem
Once researcher is clear about the specific research
problem, next the research problem must be carefully
evaluated for its significance, researchability, &
feasibility.
Feasibility of the research problem should be
evaluated for time, cost, availability of subjects &
resources, administrative & peer support, ethical
consideration, & researcher’s competence & interest.
18. Formulating final statement of research
problem:
After establishing the significance, researchability, &
feasibility, then researcher finally formulates a final
statement of a research problem.
A statement of research problem could be in
declarative or interrogative format
19. Count…
1.Declarative format:
In this format, a research problem is
stated in declarative statement.
e.g.- impact of library internship on MLIS student of
Pondicherry University.
2. Interrogative format:
In interrogative format, a research
problem is stated in question form.
e.g- “What is the Impact of library internship on MLIS
Student of Pondicherry University ?”
20. Count…
The choice of either of these two types of format formulation
of a research problem depends on the researcher’s
preference & institutional policies.
Declarative format much popular among researchers.
For the formulation of a research problem it is preferable it it
fulfils the following features:
Research problem is clearly, precisely articulated.
It clearly states the variables, population, & research setting
under study.
Variable are expressed in measurable terms.
The type of study also may be included in the statement of
research problem.
