Identifying The Inquiry and Stating The Problem

Session 1B:
Identifying Inquiry and Stating the

Problem
In this second installment of Session 1, participants are expected to:
(1) describe how to frame research titles from prospective research
problems;
(2) explain the significance of the sections under the first chapter of the
research paper; and
(3) explain how to evaluate the first chapter of students' research.

ACTIVITY THREE
Picturing the Problem
A research topic is the broad
subject matter addressed by the
study.
A research problem is a general

educational issue, concern, or
controversy addressed in
research that narrows the topic.
A research question
narrows the purpose
A purpose is the major intent or into specific questions
objective of the study used to that the researcher
address the problem would like answered
or addressed in the
study.
What are good sources of researchable problems?
1 Theories to be validated, extended, or modified
Other studies, particularly through research
2 recommendations
National or international trends or situations to be
3 described or improved
Real-life problems, issues, experiences, or
4 situations of SHS students
Seeking a
Problem
What are the standards in writing the research title?
A research title must…
✔ Lists key variables
✔ be written in scientific or technical style
✔ be concise (no more than 12 words) and
non-repetitive
✔ reflect SHS students’ context
✔ not explicitly provide reference to the
research design
Framing the
Title
WORKSHOP,
STARTING FROM SCRTACH
The Research Title

As a group, decide on a
researchable topic leading to a
quantitative research suited to
the level of SHS students.
This is the description that leads the reader to
understanding the research questions and appreciate why
they are asked.
In writing this section,
✔ Introduce and briefly define the variables under study
✔ cite the most important study or related literature
✔ be consistent with terms used
✔ ensure that paragraphs summarize unresolved issues,
conflicting findings, social concerns, or educational, national,
or international issues.
Background
✔ write the last paragraph to highlight the research gap
of the Study
This section contains the purpose statements and
the research question(s).
In writing this section, follow the prescribed format:

“This study (or research) aims to…(make congruent with title).”
New paragraph:
“Specifically, this research (or study) seeks to answer the
following questions:”
Phrase questions with the data to be collected in mind. Answer the
Statement of questions and rephrase question, if your intended answer does not
match the question.
the Problem
Determines the audience who will benefit from a study
of the problem and explains how exactly will the results
be significant to them.
✔ In paragraph form, cite beneficiaries (e.g., teachers, teacher
trainers, educators; curriculum developers, textbook writers;
officials of school, division, region, central office; policy
makers) of results of study.
✔ For each beneficiary group, specifically describe how it will
benefit from the findings.
Significance ✔ No need to cite students: understood to benefit from research;
of the Study not in a position to implement recommendations
This presents the coverage of the research in terms of location,
time, respondents, etc., and the potential weaknesses or problems
with the study identified
by the researcher.

✔ cite data collection (period and school year);
✔ identify schools involved, number of classes, their grade/year
level, number of participants (or respondents, subjects), and
topics of lessons covered (if applicable).
✔ state inadequate measures of variables, loss or lack of
Scope and participants, small sample sizes, errors in measurement, and
other factors typically related to data collection and analysis.
