Statement Of
the Problem
The problem statement should explain why the
problem is an issue and why it's essential to find a
solution, in addition to what the issue is. The other
"W" questions will often flow naturally from this.
For instance: Why should we resolve this issue?
Example
This is a point of view statement based on the researcher's An example of a non-evidence-based problem is the statement,

Significance of the
Study
A study's significance defines its value. It speaks
about the study's impact on a research field and
its contribution(s). The importance also
identifies who and how the study findings are
beneficial to. A written explanation of the study's
importance outlines the necessity of the
research. It serves as a defense of the
significance of your work, the influence it has on
your study area, its contribution to new
knowledge, and how it will help others.
Example
"The research is made with the aim
to provide a crucial information
and knowledge regarding to the
chosen topic from the
respondents, recent studies, or
thesis and related sites needed for
the expected importance to the
individuals."

Hypothesis
A statement of expectation or prediction that will be
put to the test via study is called a research
hypothesis. Discover more regarding the topic that
interests you before developing your study idea. In
other words, it's a statement that, although based on
facts (or some acceptable assumptions), explains
why or how something works, but hasn't been put
to a specific experiment. A hypothesis may read, for
instance, as follows: Sleep affects academic
achievement.
Example
"Educational achievement is
affected by sleeping". This
statement expresses the realistic
assumption that a student's
amount and/or quality of sleep will
affect their educational outcomes.
