Study Notes
Identifying a Qualitative Research Problem
- Qualitative research focuses on understanding and describing non-numerical data.
- Research problems are the central focus of any research project.
- Research projects usually originate from a broad topic, which is narrowed down to a specific area of knowledge.
- Research begins by identifying a broad topic of interest and then narrowing it to a specific topic.
Qualitative Research Problem Examples
- Accounting: Use of instant online loans among different age groups.
- Business: Styles of conflict management in start-up businesses.
- Earth Science: Disaster management in key cities.
- Health Science: Vaccination confidence across generations.
- Social Sciences: Identity politics of the urban poor.
- Humanities: Creation theories in Asian countries.
Research Title Guidance
- Answer the following questions to craft a research title:
- What type of research will be used?
- What is the study about?
- Who is involved in the research?
- Where will the research take place?
Relevance of the Research
- Research relevance explains the reasons or justifications for the study.
- A good research problem should have clear scientific, social, and practical relevance.
Activity
- Step 1: Choose a general topic you're familiar with and interested in.
- Step 2: List three specific areas of knowledge related to the chosen topic.
- Step 3: Based on the chosen area of knowledge and the answers to #2 create a working title for the research.
Quick Check
- Qualitative research involves interpreting non-numerical data.
- The relevance of research describes the reasons behind the study.
- Considering a given general topic, a qualitative research problem can be identified. For example, "Heavy traffic" could be the subject of a qualitative study.
Additional Notes
- A good research problem is usually based on unknown information related to the topic of study.
- Consider limitations like time and budget when refining the research question.
- The research problem is the fundamental basis for other phases of the research process.
