This presentation is about an elaboration of the definition, rationale, and structure, and content of PROBLEM STATEMENT as an important component of the research reports.
This document discusses different types of research and the research process. It describes two types of research: basic or pure research which aims to develop new knowledge, and applied research which focuses on applying existing theories. There are also two general methods: qualitative research which uses non-statistical analysis to understand underlying reasons and trends, and quantitative research which expresses data numerically and uses statistical analysis. The research process involves identifying a problem, formulating hypotheses to guide the study, collecting and analyzing data, and reporting conclusions.
This document discusses key aspects of defining a research problem, including identifying a researchable problem, sources of research problems, writing a problem statement, and developing research questions. It emphasizes that a well-defined research problem lays the foundation for a successful research project. The first step is to identify a compelling topic and formulate a problem statement that introduces the research area and leads to specific questions. A good research problem should be significant, clearly delineated, and have accessible information to draw conclusions. Narrowing the scope and defining key terms helps ensure the problem is manageable.
Here are the answers to your questions:
1. FINER criteria of a good research question are: Feasible, Interesting, Novel, Ethical, Relevant.
2. A null hypothesis is a statistical hypothesis that predicts that no relationship exists between two variables.
3. The types of relationships that may exist between two variables are: positive, negative, or no relationship.
4. Read around comes first before read into. Read around gives a broad overview of the topic area, while read into involves an in-depth review.
5. The literature review is often called the "mother of the research" as it helps identify gaps and formulate the research question.

The document discusses important factors to consider when choosing a research topic, including ensuring the topic is interesting, researchable, significant, manageable, and ethical. It emphasizes that a well-defined research topic is the starting point for a successful research project. Some examples of potential research topics related to education and digital literacy are provided, such as analyzing digital literacy skills of teachers and students or investigating training models for teacher professional development. The document advises researchers to think carefully about their topic selection and consider how to develop a perfect research topic that meets the outlined criteria.
The document provides guidance on writing effective research titles. It states that a good title should summarize the main idea of the study in as few words as possible and contain important keywords. The title is the most read part of a paper so it needs to predict the content, be interesting, reflect the tone, and contain important keywords. Examples of good and poor titles are provided based on these criteria. Tips are given such as keeping titles between 5-15 words and using a formulaic structure. The use of subtitles to provide additional context is also discussed.
This document discusses how to write effective conclusions for dissertations. It notes that conclusions are important for making a strong final impression. A good conclusion should summarize the research, restate the aims and findings, discuss limitations and implications, and potentially suggest areas for future work without introducing new information. The conclusion ties together all aspects of the dissertation and demonstrates the contributions and significance of the research.
This document provides tips for developing a focused research topic and constructing an effective research title. It advises brainstorming topic ideas, discussing them with others, and selecting a topic that interests you. When crafting a title, the document recommends keeping it brief (10-12 words), using active verbs and descriptive keywords, and avoiding unnecessary details, abbreviations, and jargon. Sample research titles are also included to illustrate these tips.

The conceptual framework diagrammatically shows relationships between variables, which are defined both conceptually and operationally. Research hypotheses predict outcomes and are stated with expected directions.
Quantitative Methods of Research-Intro to research
Once a researcher has written the research question, the next step is to determine the appropriate research methodology necessary to study the question. The three main types of research design methods are qualitative, quantitative and mixed methods.
Quantitative research involves the systematic collection and analysis of data.
A research proposal outlines a research project and provides information on key elements such as the research question, methodology, and ethical considerations. It connects the proposed research to existing literature and discusses the importance and viability of the research topic. Important components of a research proposal include the introduction of the research topic and why it is being studied, a literature review, research design outlining the methodology and methods of data collection/analysis, and consideration of ethical issues. The proposal should also include sections on aims/objectives, conclusions/recommendations, and references. A good title reflects the well-defined aims of the research in a concrete manner.
THE IMPORTANCE OF QUALITATIVE RESEARCH ACROSS FIELDS OF.pptxChloeGomezReyes
Qualitative research is an important method used across many disciplines to understand social interactions and people's lived experiences. It provides detailed insights into how people understand and navigate their daily lives in different situations. Qualitative research employs methods like interviews, observations and written descriptions to explore phenomena through an analysis of words rather than numbers. It can be used alongside quantitative research to enhance the validity and accuracy of interpretations. Qualitative research is especially useful in social sciences but also has applications in fields like business, education, law and health sciences to gain nuanced understandings of human behaviors and experiences.
The document discusses various types of research including descriptive research, which describes characteristics without determining causes, and analytical research, which evaluates facts and information. It also discusses applied research which aims to solve immediate problems, and basic research which improves scientific understanding without specific applications. Additional types discussed are quantitative research using measurement, qualitative research investigating human behavior, conceptual research developing new ideas, empirical research using observation, and historical research studying past events.
How to write a scientific research paperNida Naeem
This document discusses different types of research studies and methods. There are two main types of research studies: experimental and observational studies. Experimental studies intentionally introduce a treatment or procedure, while observational studies simply observe behavior without influencing it. Within these two types there are various research methods like randomized controlled trials, cohort studies, and case-control studies. The document also covers key parts of research papers like the introduction, methods, results, and discussion sections. It emphasizes that research is done to systematically increase knowledge and find practical solutions.
This document outlines the typical parts of a research paper, including the title, abstract, introduction, methods, results, discussion, and references. The title should predict the paper's content and contain keywords. The abstract summarizes the entire paper to help readers decide if they want to read it. The introduction provides background information and states the paper's objectives. The methods section describes how data was collected and analyzed. The results section explains the findings, while the discussion section interprets the results and discusses limitations. Finally, the references list all sources cited in the paper.
Writing a research proposal is a very important step for research at any level. Good quality research is always based on a perfectly planned outline. The meaning & the procedure of writing a research proposal is described in the given presentation.
This document discusses theoretical and conceptual frameworks. It defines a theoretical framework as providing rationale for relationships between variables in a research study, analogous to the frame of a house. A conceptual framework outlines courses of action or preferred approaches. The document describes developing frameworks by selecting concepts and relationships, and defining concepts operationally. Frameworks guide entire research studies by informing hypotheses, observations, designs, and interpretations. Theories can be descriptive, explanatory, or predictive and are tested through different research types. Nursing frameworks contribute unique perspectives on persons, environments, health, and nursing. Frameworks should be clearly identified and defined, with logical relationships supported by literature.
The document provides guidance on writing a research paper, including its purpose and structure. It discusses the key parts of a research paper such as the introduction, methodology, and conclusion. The introduction should state the topic and its importance. The methodology section explains how the research was conducted, including data collection and analysis methods used. The conclusion restates the main points and leaves the reader with a final impression. The document also provides examples and prompts for writing each section of a research paper.

The document provides an overview of the literature review process. It defines a literature review as an examination of previous research conducted in a particular field of study. The purpose is to gain knowledge in the field, identify common methodologies, and determine if the proposed research is needed. The literature review process involves selecting a topic, searching for and analyzing relevant literature, and writing the review. Organizational schemes like topical, chronological, and problem-solution orders can be used.
The document provides guidance on conducting a literature review for research. It discusses selecting a topic, conducting a literature search, analyzing and organizing the literature. Key steps include identifying the research topic, locating relevant sources through databases and other means, reading and analyzing the literature, and organizing it using mapping techniques. The literature review aims to summarize and synthesize previous research on the topic to provide context and identify gaps to justify further research.
This document discusses conceptual frameworks, theories, and research questions/hypotheses in qualitative and quantitative research. It provides:
1. An overview of what conceptual frameworks are and how they are used to define variables and relationships in a study.
2. Descriptions of how theories are applied differently in qualitative versus quantitative research, such as testing theories deductively in quantitative research and generating theories inductively in qualitative research.
3. Guidelines for writing good qualitative research questions, quantitative research questions/hypotheses, and mixed methods research questions/hypotheses.
This document discusses identifying and formulating a research problem. It begins by outlining the objectives and introduction to research problems. Potential sources of research problems are then explored, including personal and practical experiences, literature reviews, theories, and social issues. Key aspects of a research problem like significance, originality, feasibility, solvability, currency, and interest are defined. The process of selecting a research area, reviewing literature, delimiting the topic, and evaluating the problem is outlined. Finally, declarative and interrogative formats for a final research problem statement are presented along with characteristics of a well-formulated research problem.
This document provides guidance on writing academic reports and essays. It explains that reports and essays are two distinct writing formats used in academic work, with each assignment specifying the required format. Reports use a formal structure with sections, headings, numbering, and appendices, while essays have a less rigid structure but still require arguments and objective commentary. Key expectations for academic writing are to follow the assigned task, use proper grammar, spelling, and punctuation, explain jargon, and take an impersonal and objective style. References must be included to cite ideas from other sources. The document provides tips for planning, structuring, and formatting reports and essays to clearly communicate information to the intended audience.
This document provides guidance for developing a teaching philosophy statement focused on adult learning in an online environment. It discusses key concepts in adult learning theory, such as the five issues addressed in andragogy. The document outlines the recommended sections to include in a teaching philosophy statement: conceptualization of learning, conceptualization of teaching, goals for students, implementation of the philosophy, and a professional growth plan. Specific questions are provided for each section to help articulate beliefs about adult learning and teaching approach.
Problem-based learning (PBL) is an educational approach that uses real world problems as a context for students to learn about basic and clinical sciences. In PBL, students work in small groups facilitated by a tutor to discuss and solve clinical problems. This allows students to identify gaps in their knowledge and develop self-directed learning skills. PBL aims to develop an integrated, context-specific knowledge base and skills in critical thinking, self-directed learning, collaboration and communication. Some potential advantages of PBL include greater relevance to medical practice and improved knowledge retention and application.

This document discusses the formulation and functions of objectives in teaching physical science education. It defines educational objectives and instructional objectives, and their key differences. Educational objectives are broad aims related to the education system, while instructional objectives clearly describe anticipated learning outcomes. Well-written objectives should be student-oriented, observable, attainable, developmentally appropriate, and help guide instruction. The document also provides examples of objectives and discusses the importance of objectives in teaching.
This document discusses small group teaching methods in medical education. It describes several small group teaching formats including problem based learning (PBL), case based learning (CBL), and team based learning (TBL). For PBL, students are presented with a problem to solve as a group, such as a clinical case. The teacher acts as a facilitator. TBL involves individual and team readiness tests to apply concepts, followed by team application exercises. Effective small group teaching requires defining objectives, facilitating participation and feedback, and managing time. The teacher's role is to guide discussion rather than lecture. Preparation and understanding learner needs and the curriculum are important to lead a successful small group session.
This document provides an overview and introduction to Module 3 which covers curriculum and professional issues. The module will explore definitions of curriculum, consider its history and introduce curriculum theories. Students will complete assignments on curriculum evaluation and professional issues. They will learn about curriculum requirements, models, contexts, concepts, education policy and quality assurance. The purpose is to help students explain curriculum in their field and apply critical thinking to curriculum design and evaluation.
For many managers, there is a real challenge both in managing remotely, and having confidence about the quality of remote or online delivery. Most managers have years of experience of managing campus based learning, and have had the benefit of peer and specialist support on site. However, few managers have the experience of teaching remotely, so supporting staff and recognising good delivery is a greater challenge. This session looks at adjustments to their management approach that may be helpful, and identifies some of the key characteristics of well delivered on line activity.

This document discusses curriculum development and evaluation. It begins by defining curriculum as a plan of action incorporating learning outcomes attained through various experiences. It then outlines curriculum components like objectives, materials, methods and assessment. Several models of curriculum development are described, including Tyler, Taba and Zais models. Key aspects of curriculum like foundations, components, approaches, designs, and an ideal integrated model are explained. The document stresses the importance of flexibility, integration and addressing national and institutional goals. It concludes by outlining a six step approach to curriculum development including problem identification, needs assessment, setting goals and objectives, educational strategies, implementation and evaluation for feedback and change.
The document discusses curriculum development and Ralph Tyler's model of curriculum planning. It provides background on Tyler, summarizes his four fundamental questions for curriculum planning, and outlines his model which begins with setting objectives based on studying learners, society, and subject matter. The model includes selecting learning experiences to meet objectives, organizing instruction, and evaluating effectiveness. Strengths are that it provides a clear starting point, while criticisms include that it can narrowly interpret objectives and be time-consuming. The document also contrasts Tyler's deductive approach with Taba's inductive model.
The document discusses curriculum goals, objectives, and products. It defines curriculum goals as broad descriptions of educational purposes stated generally without specific criteria for achievement. Curriculum objectives are more specific and measurable. Curriculum products provide guidance for teaching and include curriculum guides, course of study outlines, syllabi, and resource units. The document also discusses Bloom's taxonomy of learning domains - cognitive, affective, and psychomotor - which progress from basic to more complex levels of learning.
The document discusses research problem statements and their components. It provides definitions of a research problem and notes that a good problem statement clearly describes the issue to be addressed, generates the research questions, and identifies gaps in previous literature. It emphasizes that a problem statement should synthesize past related studies and identify what is yet to be investigated to justify the study. It also lists criteria for evaluating problem statements and their key parts such as describing the problem significance, discussing previous research, and stating the study purpose and scope.
Lin Norton - Ulster developing a robust pedagogical action research studycampone
This document provides an overview of developing a robust pedagogical action research study. It discusses the purpose of action research in a university context, considering how it aims to improve student learning and performance through modifying teaching or assessment. An example study is presented that used action research to help students overcome reluctance to provide peer feedback. Key aspects of a robust study are outlined, such as being publishable and influencing practice. The importance of linking findings to educational theory and disseminating results to influence colleagues and policy is also emphasized. Participants are then instructed to work in groups to design their own hypothetical action research study on the problem of disengaged students.
This document provides guidance on writing a research proposal. It begins by defining what constitutes research and a research proposal. A research proposal concisely summarizes the key aspects of the proposed research, including the research topic, justification for studying it, and methodology. The document then outlines the typical sections of a research proposal, such as the title, background, objectives, methodology, budget and timeline. It provides tips for writing each section effectively, such as making the objectives specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time-bound. Additionally, it discusses other important aspects like developing a conceptual framework and conducting a literature review.
Designing and conducting summative evaluationsMichael8531
The document summarizes the process of summative evaluation, which collects data to determine if instruction works as intended. It has two stages: expert judgement and impact analysis. Expert judgement involves evaluating if instructional content and design align with organizational needs and goals. Impact analysis assesses if instruction helped learners transfer skills to their jobs and improved performance. The document also compares formative and summative evaluation, describes models to evaluate instruction, and provides sample rating forms and questions to guide analysis.
Designing and conducting summative evaluationsMichael8531
The document summarizes summative evaluation, which collects data after instruction is completed to determine its impact on learners, their jobs, and the organization. Summative evaluation involves expert judgement to evaluate if instructional design principles were followed and an impact analysis of learners in their jobs, including whether needs were met and job performance improved. It also provides examples of assessment questions and rating forms that can be used for the expert judgement and impact analysis stages of summative evaluation.
Basic research aims to explore the principles behind social phenomena and enhance understanding through developing theory, focusing on the "what", "why", and "when" of topics using academic terminology. Applied research focuses on applying outcomes practically to improve practices and solve issues, focusing on "how" in a more understandable style, such as improving classroom teaching in a specific school.
OUTCOMES-BASED EDUCATION (OBE) OR OUTCOMES-BASED TEACHING AND LEARNING (OBTL)JASMIN ROXAS
This document provides information about outcomes-based education (OBE), including:
- The key differences between traditional teaching and OBE, which focuses on what students can do rather than what teachers teach.
- The three views of OBE as an educational theory, systemic structure, or classroom practice.
- The constructive alignment framework which aligns intended learning outcomes, teaching methods, and assessments.
- Guidelines for writing effective intended learning outcomes, including making them student-focused, specific, and measurable.
The overall purpose is to explain the principles of OBE and provide tools to design curriculum and assessments aligned with learning outcomes.

Research Questions-Hypotheses-Objectives Dr M Ilyas Khan Hazara University.pptxDr. Muhammad Ilyas Khan
The document discusses research questions, hypotheses, and objectives. It explains that research questions provide the focus and direction for a research study. Hypotheses are tentative explanations formulated before testing to explore relationships between variables. Research objectives specify how the study will explore answers to research questions or test hypotheses. Objectives should be clear, focused, and achievable to guide the research process.
This document discusses conceptual and theoretical frameworks in research. A conceptual framework links the main concepts in a study, such as the relationship between motivation and learning. A theoretical framework analyzes and interlinks relevant theories, such as theories of learning and motivation, to explore the research questions. Theoretical frameworks are used to examine how theories drive the objectives of a study, like investigating the impact of teacher motivation on student learning. Concepts, theories, and their interrelationships comprise conceptual and theoretical frameworks.
This document outlines the characteristics of a good research thesis. It discusses that a thesis should have a clear title, introduction with objectives and research questions, a comprehensive literature review leading to a gap identification, a justified methodology, findings presented in relation to objectives, and a discussion drawing conclusions and implications. It emphasizes using clear academic language, properly formatted references and appendices, and an abstract representing the full thesis in brief.
This document provides an overview of APA citation and referencing guidelines according to the 7th edition of the APA Publication Manual. It discusses the American Psychological Association, the purpose of citation and referencing, and the APA style. Examples are given for different types of in-text citations, such as citations for one, two, or three+ authors, organizations as authors, and secondary sources. Guidelines are also provided for referencing various document types, including books, book chapters, journal articles, theses/dissertations, newspapers/magazines, and other sources like blogs, websites, and personal communications.
The document discusses the four main types of sentences: declarative sentences that state or describe information, interrogative sentences that ask questions, imperative sentences that give commands or instructions, and exclamatory sentences that express emotions or feelings. Examples are provided for each sentence type to illustrate their purpose or function in communication. The document was written by Dr. Muhammad Ilyas Khan of the Department of Education at Hazara University Mansehra.
This document defines sentences and describes their structure and types. It defines a sentence as a group of words that expresses a complete thought with a subject and predicate. Simple sentences contain one clause, compound sentences contain two main clauses joined by a conjunction, and complex sentences contain a main clause and subordinate clause. Sentences can also be declarative, interrogative, imperative, or exclamatory depending on their function in expressing a statement, asking a question, giving a command, or expressing strong feelings.
The document discusses punctuation in English. It defines punctuation as the process of arranging and structuring words to make texts clearer and meaningful. It then provides examples of unpunctuated versus punctuated texts. The rest of the document discusses common punctuation marks used in English, including their general uses. It covers punctuation marks such as periods, question marks, exclamation marks, commas, semicolons, colons, apostrophes, quotation marks, hyphens, dashes, parentheses, brackets, ellipses, and slashes.
This document defines and provides examples of the nine main parts of speech in English: noun, pronoun, adjective, verb, adverb, preposition, conjunction, interjection, and article/determiner. It was written by Dr. Muhammad Ilyas Khan of the Department of Education at Hazara University Mansehra and defines each part of speech and provides an example using the name "Ali" to illustrate how each part of speech is used.
Functional English refers to using the English language in a practical sense for communication purposes like listening, speaking, reading and writing. It focuses on using English in routine life. To use English functionally requires having a good vocabulary, knowledge of grammar rules, parts of speech, tenses and good comprehension skills. The process of developing functional English involves building vocabulary, learning grammar, and polishing the four skills through regular listening, speaking, reading and writing activities in English.
This document outlines the structure and process of writing a research thesis. It defines a research thesis as a comprehensive written report that describes the aims, objectives, rationale, background, methodology, results, and implications of a research project. The general structure includes preliminary pages, an introduction with objectives and rationale, a literature review, methodology, results and findings, and a conclusion with recommendations. The writing process involves drafting, getting feedback from supervisors and peers, reflecting and revising multiple times, and finally proofreading and formatting the final thesis.
This document outlines the general structure and contents of a research proposal, including an introduction, statement of the problem, research objectives, background literature review, research methodology, expected outcomes, timeline, and references. It provides guidance for writing a research proposal, with key sections to address and the overall framework to follow.
This document discusses research abstracts, providing information on what a research abstract is, why it is used, when it should be written, and how it should be structured. It explains that a research abstract gives readers a brief summary of the research background, aims, methods, results and conclusions in about 150-300 words. It helps readers decide whether they need to read the full research paper or thesis. While included early in a research report, the abstract is generally written after completing the research so the researcher can fully summarize the process, outcomes and implications. The document then provides an example of an abstract summarizing a study on perceptions of reflection in a teacher education program.
This document outlines the process for conducting a critical literature review, including initial reading on a broader topic, reflection, focusing the research questions, identifying convergences and divergences across sources, re-reading to identify main themes, and determining areas that require further exploration to identify gaps in existing research. The document was written by Dr. Muhammad Ilyas Khan of the Department of Education at Hazara University.
Selecting a research topic involves considering what topic to explore based on personal experiences, interests from initial readings and discussions, and determining why this topic should be explored for personal, academic, theoretical or professional significance. It also requires determining how to explore the topic through methodological considerations and feasibility of execution, and considering what the outcomes might be at a personal, academic or professional level at the end of the study.
This document discusses research hypotheses. It defines a hypothesis as a tentative explanation of a relationship between variables that is tested through empirical research. Good hypotheses clearly state relationships, use precise language, and represent research objectives. Developing hypotheses gives direction to the research process by providing tentative answers and guiding data collection and analysis. Hypotheses can be descriptive, relational, simple, complex, null, or alternative. The author provides examples to illustrate different types of hypotheses.
This document discusses identifying research gaps. It explains that a research gap is an unexplored, less explored, or inadequately explored area of knowledge that could add to the field if studied further. Identifying research gaps is important to rationalize and justify a research study. Potential sources of identifying gaps include personal experiences, reviewing previous related studies and their suggested further research, meta-analyses, popular topics on journals, and discussions with supervisors and colleagues. The document provides guidance on what a research gap is, why identifying one is important, and potential ways to find a gap.
The document discusses qualitative research, its definition and characteristics. It notes that while quantitative research originated in the natural sciences and focuses on measurement, statistics and generalization, qualitative research emerged in the social sciences due to difficulties quantifying human behavior. Qualitative research aims to understand phenomena through context and interpretation rather than testing hypotheses. It is naturalistic, flexible and inductive, beginning with data collection before developing theories. Researchers get personally involved through long-term study of small, purposeful samples and analyze textual rather than numerical data.
Mixed-method research combines both qualitative and quantitative data and analysis techniques to explore research questions. It uses both methods simultaneously or sequentially. The rationale is that it brings rigor, richness, and triangulation to data collection and supports findings by using multiple data sources and methods. Researchers must justify using a mixed approach and ensure they have the expertise to deal with its complexities.
This document outlines the general process of social sciences research in 9 steps: 1) Identifying a research problem, 2) Formulating research questions, 3) Reviewing relevant literature, 4) Refining the research questions, 5) Designing the research methodology, 6) Implementing the research design through data collection, 7) Analyzing the collected data, 8) Deriving findings and conclusions from the analysis, and 9) Writing a report of the research. The document provides examples and explanations for each step of the research process.
The document outlines the key components of a research proposal: what, why, how, and when. It explains that a research proposal provides a blueprint for a proposed study, answering what the research is about, why the study is being conducted, how it will be carried out, and when the different stages will take place. Specifically, it should describe the research topic, objectives, and questions; the rationale and significance of the study; the research design, data collection and analysis methods; and a timeline for completion.
Assessment and Planning in Educational technology.pptxKavitha Krishnan
In an education system, it is understood that assessment is only for the students, but on the other hand, the Assessment of teachers is also an important aspect of the education system that ensures teachers are providing high-quality instruction to students. The assessment process can be used to provide feedback and support for professional development, to inform decisions about teacher retention or promotion, or to evaluate teacher effectiveness for accountability purposes.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2. Problem Statement: What?
• A combination of two words: Problem and
Statement
• A Problem Statement or statement of the
problem is a brief and concise account, a
declaration or a report of the problem or
issue that is being investigated in a research
study.
• Generally, a part of research theses or
research proposals
Dr. Muhammad Ilyas Khan
3. Problem Statement: Why?
• Problem Statement is part of the
research report to give an initial and
concise insight into the issue or the
problem being investigated.
• What is the issue or problem?
• What is its background?
• Why is the issue being investigated?
• Brief knowledge gap identification
Dr. Muhammad Ilyas Khan
4. Problem Statement: How?
• Generally, three parts
• Brief background ( a few sentences to a
paragraph, depending on the scope of the
study/nature of report)
• Gap-Identification (What is missing in our
understanding of the issue or problem? Why is
this study needed?)
• Aims of the current study (The ‘what’, ‘why’,
and ‘how’ of the current study)
• A few sentences to a few paragraphs
Dr. Muhammad Ilyas Khan
5. Problem Statement: An example
• Reflective practice has been an important educational concept
employed in many educational programmes across disciplines
including teacher education. Many initial teacher education
programmes aim at developing prospective teachers as
reflective practitioners.
• Despite its ubiquity in teacher education programmes, there
has been little consensus regarding the connotations, aims, and
outcomes of reflective practice as a teacher education concept.
This is partly because of the multiplicity of definitional
connotations that have been associated with the concept. In the
absence of any comprehensive, agreed upon definition, the
concept has often been turned into a slogan, lacking clearly
laid out aims, implementation mechanisms, and measurable
outcomes.
• The current study, therefore, aims to explore reflective practice
in terms of its aims, implementation mechanisms and
measurable outcomes, if any, in teacher education
programmes. The study also aims to explore possible ways
and means for the incorporation of reflective practice in
teacher education programmes with clearer aims,
implementation mechanisms and outcomes.
Dr. Muhammad Ilyas Khan
