Defining the Research Problem

  • Arabic

Description

Overview

The research problem is a critical step in the scientific research model, as it fundamentally differentiates one study from another. Each research project is defined by the unique problem it addresses, typically drawn from real-world, contemporary issues within the researcher's community.

How to Build a Research Problem

  • Researchers construct their problem by observing natural phenomena and social patterns in their environment

  • The goal is to identify root causes behind the spread of a problem and the factors contributing to its occurrence

  • A well-formulated problem statement must serve the objectives of the study and meet recognized academic criteria

Key Learning Outcomes

  • Understanding the steps of scientific research and their role in shaping the research problem

  • Applying methods for precise problem identification that align with study goals

  • Learning the criteria for selecting an appropriate research problem that contributes to scientific knowledge
