Research Problem
A 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. It is typically posed in the form of a question.

A Conceptual Framework is an analytical tool with several variations and contexts that can be applied in
different categories of work where an overall picture is needed to come up with the desired goal. It is necessary
to make conceptual and theoretical distinctions and organize ideas. Strong and resilient conceptual frameworks
capture and apprehend something real and do this in a way that is easy to remember and apply.

How to create a Conceptual Framework

A conceptual framework is a bit like a recipe or a blueprint. It provides an outline of how you plan to conduct
the research of your thesis, but it goes further than that by also positioning your work within the larger field of
research.
 Conduct a Literature Review
 Create a Flow Chart
 Write a Narrative
 Return and Revise
Research Hypothesis is vital to all research endeavors, whether qualitative or quantitative, exploratory or
explanatory. In developing a testable research hypothesis, it takes skill, however, along with careful attention to
how the proposed research method treats the development and testing of hypotheses. The hypothesis in your
study, you are predicting the relationship between two variables. Following are some hints for the formulation
of your hypothesis.
➢ Be certain to read on the subject matter to explain with it before making a final decision
➢ As noted, a research hypothesis is more than just a topic. It has two elements (variables) that are in relation
to each other. Your hypothesis is what you propose to “prove” by your research. As an outcome of your
research, you will arrive at a conclusion, a theory, or understanding that will be useful or applicable beyond the
research itself.
➢ Avoid judgmental and critical words in your hypothesis.
➢ Your hypothesis must involve an issue or question that cannot be answered exclusively by the discipline of
law.
➢ Be certain that each term if your hypothesis is clearly understood and defined, do not deal in generalities or
assume that the reader knows the meaning of the technical term.
➢ Specify, if appropriate, whether you will be dealing with state or federal law or both on a comparative basis
if appropriate.
➢ Know that your hypothesis may change over time as your research progresses.

You must obtain the teacher’s approval of your hypothesis, as well as any modifications to your hypothesis,
before proceeding with any work on the topic. You will be expressing your hypothesis in 3 ways:
➢ As a one-sentence hypothesis.
➢ As a research question.
➢ As a title for your paper.
Your hypothesis will be part of your research proposal.

Writing a Statement of the Problem

Writing a problem statement can help the researcher put the topic in context and have a deeper understanding of
its significance. A problem statement may be written in several paragraphs or in several sentences incorporated
in the introduction. Problem statement should address the relevance of the research: why is it important to
resolve the problem. The problem statement need not lay world changing impact. What is important is that the
4| P a g e Malasiqui Catholic School, Inc.
Month 2: Identifying the Problem and Asking the Question THIRD QUARTER/
MONTH 2
problem statement should lay how you intend to address the problem. Your goal should not be to find a
conclusive solution, but to seek out the reasons behind the problem and propose more effective approaches to
understanding it. You may start with the following phrases:
a) The aim of this study is to determine…
b) This project aims to explore…
c) I aim to investigate…

Significance of the Study

This portion discusses how to write this section and provides an example to illustrate the different techniques. In
an actual fact, the section on the significance of the study provides information to the reader on how the study
will contribute. It must be exactly stated, however, what the study will contribute and who will benefit from it.

Scope and Limitations of the Study

The scope and delimitation of the study set borders and limitations of the problem inquiry and narrow down
the scope of the inquiry. The purpose of the delimitation of the study is to delimit by geographic location, age,
sex, population traits, population size, or other similar aspects. Delimitation makes study more manageable and
feasible. Part of it sets the constraints or weaknesses of a study which are beyond the control of the researcher.

Glossary of Research Terms-

This glossary is intended to assist you in understanding commonly used terms and concepts when reading,
interpreting, and evaluating scholarly research in the social sciences.
Types and Functions
➢ Conceptual Definition
o Refers to the dictionary meaning.
➢ Operational Definition
o The meaning of the concept or terms as used in a particular study.

PERFORMANCE TASK:
Go back on the sample given. On the topic that you have chosen, write a specific statement or inquiry showing
the statement of the problem and write a specific statement regarding the Significance or the Importance of the
study.
