4. Statement of the Problem
A good statement of the problem is the appropriate start of the research
preparation.
The general/major problem should be brief and with few but precise and clear
sentences.
The subordinate or sub-problems or specific problems should also be clearly
and briefly stated and their order should show their relative importance in
support of the major problem.
They should also be formulated such that they are not readily
answerable by “yes” or “no” but clearly indicative of researchability
• A statement of the problem is used in research work as a claim that outlines the problem
addressed by a study.

reality, and (c) the consequences.
