● Introduction
STEM student like you are required to do scientific research aside
from your two Practical Research subjects. This is the highlight of your
senior high school study as STEM student. Here you are going to apply
your learnings in solving certain problem in line with your interest
related to the course they are planning to pursue in higher education.

Meaning of Research Problem
According to Sacred Heart University Library Website, research
problem is a statement about an area of concern, a condition to be
improved, a difficulty to be eliminated, or a troubling question that
exists in scholarly literature, in theory, or in practice that points to the
need for meaningful understanding and deliberate investigation. A
research problem is typically posed in the form of a question.

4. Interviewing Practitioners
The identification of research problems about particular topics
can arise from formal or informal discussions with practitioners who
provide insight into new directions for future research and how to
make research findings increasingly relevant to practice. Discussions
with experts in the field, such as, teachers, inventors, health care
providers, scientists, etc., offers the chance to identify practical, “real
world” problems that may be understudied or ignored within
academic circles. This approach also provides some practical
knowledge which may help in the process of designing and
conducting your study.
5. Personal Experiences
Your everyday experiences can give rise to worthwhile problems
for investigation. Think critically about your own experiences and/or
frustrations with an issue facing society, your community, or in your
neighborhood. This can be derived, for example, from deliberate
observations of certain relationships for which there is no clear
explanation or witnessing an event that appears harmful to a person
or group or that is out of the ordinary.

Key Concepts
Research/scientific problem is a statement about an
area of concern, a condition to be improved, a difficulty to be
eliminated, or a troubling question that exists in scholarly
literature, in theory, or in practice that points to the need for
meaningful understanding and deliberate investigation.
Research/scientific problem can be derived from
deduction from the theory, recommendations from previous
researches, relevant related literature, interview of practitioners,

Instruction:
Think of a problem or issue that you want to tackle in your
Research/Capstone Project subject. From this problem or issue you are
going to make your research title. Here are the guide questions that
will help you formulate your research title. Think it over and decide, the
title you are going to present is final.
Copy the questions and answer them based on your proposed
research study. Write your answers in long bond paper(s).
Questions (with sample answer):
1. Now that you are going to make a research, what is your research all
about?
(My research will be about knowing the phytochemicals present in selected aromatic weed extracts. These extracts will be
diluted to different concentrations and to be tested to flagellated microorganism, such as Euglena, a common microorganism
found in pond or canal water. I knew that flagellate is used by microorganism for its motility, stoppage in motion implies the
destruction of its flagellum. Flagellum and the membrane that covers the organism are made of protein hence, if found effective
it eventually kills the microorganism.)
2. What method/design are you going to use? (You may skip this
question if you have not yet decided on the method/design.)
(In this research I will be experimental, to be conducted at home. First I will extract juice from the grounded aromatic weeds
and subject them to phytochemical screening. I will prepare different concentrations of extracts of selected aromatic weeds.
)
3. Who will be the subject/respondent of your research?
(The different concentrations of extracts will be tested euglena, a common flagellated microorganism found in pond water.
)
4. What are the key words in your answer to question 1?
(Phytochemicals, aromatic weed extracts, different concentration, flagellated microorganism, pond and canal water, Euglena,
motility, flagellum, membrane, protein )
5. State your tentative research title using all the key words in question
4?
(Phytochemical screening and its effect on the motility through the destruction of protein in flagellum and membrane covering of
flagellated microorganism such as Euglena that is found in pond and canal water subjected to different concentrations of
selected aromatic weed extracts )
6. What is your final title by eliminating unnecessary words in question
5 (Less than 15 words)?
(Phytochemical Screening and Effect of Aromatic Weed Extracts on the Motility of Flagellated Microorganism.
)
