This document discusses identifying and formulating a research problem. It notes that choosing a research problem is an important first step that requires time and care. The document outlines several key points about research problems: - A research problem should be a difficulty or issue that motivates further study. It should be clearly stated. - Research problems can come from studying populations, subject areas, programs, or phenomena. - Factors to consider include what one wants to know, practical applications, personal interest, relevance, and potential to add to human knowledge. - The process of identifying a problem may involve discussions, literature reviews, or pilot surveys. Ultimately, a research problem addresses a specific gap or issue in existing research.

2. This is a step of Doing Research
Be cool and take your time to decide on RP
More time more Precise and More benefits
Time, Energy, and money all will depend on this
In the next step you will work on it
Choose according to your interest

4. • The backbone of Research analysis is “identifying a research
problem” It is the real difficulty that creates puzzles in
the minds of researchers at the initial stage of research work.
(Many of have ----interest according to your interest)
It’s the researcher’s perception or recognition of a difficulty that
motivates him/her to plan research.

5. How to Formulate a Research Problem
• A Research Problem may be stated as some difficulty that an
individual/business/society is facing, and the solution to the existing
difficulty is sought
• As it is often said: “A problem or difficulty sated clearly is treated to
be half solved”
As the researcher is clear about the problem. it will be smoothly
carried on, sequentially, step by step, in the process of execution of the
research work stated

7. Sources of Research Problem
Aspect of a study About Study of
Study of Population People Individual, Business,
Organization, Group
Subject Area Problem Issues, Saituation, Occasions
Program Content, Structure,
Complaints, Satisfaction,
Services
Phenomenon Cause and effect relationship

8. Factors of Problem Identification
• What one wants to know?
• Why one wants to have a particular problem?

9. Other factors to keep in mind while selecting problem
• Prevention of unnecessary duplication
• Practical value of the Problem
• Researcher’s interest in the Problem
• Knowledge of the subject area.
• Understanding of the issues to be examined
• Relevant to the present time
• Add human knowledge
• Improve the quality of human life

10. What of the process of formulation of a Research Problem
• Group Discussion
• Survey of the existing literature
• Systemic inquiry through the Piolet survey

11. So
• A research problem is a specific issue or gap in existing
knowledge that you aim to address in your research.
