IDENTIFYING

THE INQUIRY
AND STATING
THE PROBLEM
 Considerations when choosing
research participants:
1. Poorest of the poor -

e.g. Poor indigenous groups in the

Cordilleras
 Considerations when choosing
research participants:
2. Those with mental and physical
disabilities
e.g. Students with dyslexia, blind,
deaf, mute
 Considerations when choosing
research participants:
3. Those who are having a hard time
learning in class
e.g. Slow readers, disengaged
students
 Considerations when choosing
research participants:
4. Those who have taken a wrong
path in life
e.g. Marijuana users, prostitutes,
illegal drug users
When you start to think about your
research project, remember the 5
“W’s”:
What? Why?
Who? Where?
When?

 Designing Qualitative Purpose
Statements and Research Questions
• Understand how these statements and
questions differ from quantitative research
• Understand the role of a central phenomenon
in qualitative research
• Understand qualitative research as an
emerging process
 Types of Statement of the Problem
• General – overarching question you explore in
the research study
• Specific – divide the general objective into
smaller, specific questions
- narrow the focus of the general SoP into
specific issues
- indicate steps to be used in analyzing the
data in a qualitative study
 Groupwork 2 (Assignment):
Complete the following using your proposed research topic:
Research Title: ____________________
Participants: ______________________
Variables/Concepts: ________________
Research Design: __________________
General Statement of the Problem ____
Specific Statement of the Problem ____
 Scope and Delimitations
Scope – coverage/ rage of investigation
Delimitations – weakness/ restrictions
of the study
- describes the boundaries that
you have set for your study and the
things that you are not doing (and why
you have chosen not to do them)
 Benefits and Beneficiaries
Benefits – the advantage of conducting
the research; possible contribution

Beneficiaries – the person/groups that

receives benefits or advantages
 Conceptual Framework
- a diagram of the concepts which
are the main variables of the study
- the researcher’s own constructed
model that he/she uses to explain
relationship that exists between the
main variables in his/her study
 Conceptual Framework
- the design is not accepted, but it’s
a proposal of the researcher’s answer to
the research problem s/he has defined
- aimed at encouraging the
development of a theory that would be
useful to practitioners of the field
 Definition of Terms
Conceptual Definition
- how you define your concepts (may
use other sources)
Operational Definition
- how you will measure/ gather data
about your concepts (you will determine)
