Study Notes

Research Title, Sources, and Considerations

A research title provides a summary of the main idea of the study, is concise, and includes the major variables of the research.
A research title should be self-explanatory and describe or imply the participants of the study.

Research Problem

A research problem is an area of concern that requires development, attention, or an answer.
It conveys a feeling of discomfort, has a perceived difficulty, and displays a gap between theory and practice.
A research problem can arise from various sources, including personal experiences, trends, literature reviews, and curiosity.

Sources of Research Problems

Experience of an individual or a group of people.
Identification of trends or patterns.
Literature reviews, continuous readings, and past studies.
Curiosity or interest in a particular area.

What Makes a Problem Researchable?

Solutions are available but not yet tested or known by the practitioner.
No solutions are available to answer the gap of the problem being assessed.
When the given answers or solutions, as well as the possible results, are seemingly untested or are factually contradictory with each other.
A phenomenon requiring an explanation has occurred.
There are several possible and plausible explanations for the existence of an undesirable condition.

Considerations in Formulating the Research Problem

External Criteria

Novelty of the research topic.
Ethical considerations.
Availability of subjects.
Support of the academic community.
Availability and adequacy of facilities and equipment.

Internal Criteria

Experience, training, and qualifications of the researcher.
Motivation, interest, intellectual curiosity, and perceptiveness of the researcher.
Time factor.
Costs and returns.
Hazards, penalties, and handicaps.

Choosing the Research Problem as a High School Student

Focus on practical topics related to the strand or track.
Consider factors such as feasibility, external support, and innovative quality.

Possible Research Problems

Student learning, virtual/online classes, experience, student behavior, perception, teaching approaches, learning styles, evaluation, and student goals, motivation, and performance.
STEM-related topics.

Example Research Problems

Speaking anxiety among Senior High School students.
Comparison of students' experiences in Virtual Learning Classroom and Face-to-face classes.
