Study Notes
- Considerations in formulating the research problem gives the justifications and reasons for conducting the research.
External Criteria
- Novelty is when the research problem carries newness to it, so its practical value can be easily perceived..
- Availability of subjects is when the researcher ensures there are available participants capable of providing the needed data for the study.
- Support of the academic community comprised of administrators, teachers, staff, students and parents should be considered by the researcher when deciding the problem to investigate.
- The problem should be beneficial once investigated.
- Securing permission must be done before conducting the data collection procedure with the group mentioned above.
- Ethical considerations: A research problem subjected to a study should have no unethical demands, especially from study participants.
Internal Criteria
- Qualifications of the researcher include expertise of the researcher to the problem.
- It is important that researchers have enough knowledge and training when the research problem is up for further investigation to ensure success.
- Motivation and interest of the researcher is when the problem is in the researcher's interest, it may give satisfaction and enjoyment.
- Completion of research tasks can be efficiently attained.
- Time factor is when a research problem subjected to a study suggests being efficient with time.
- The undertaking must possibly be accomplished in a given time frame.
- Costs and returns: The researcher should consider a problem suggesting to be cost efficient.
- It should not be an expensive undertaking
- Hazards and handicaps: A research problem should not put the researcher in danger.
- The proposed study should be safe not only for the participants, but also to the researcher.
- Physical and mental health of the researcher is to be considered.
