The Research Problem

A research problem is a difficulty that researchers identify and aim to solve - it can be practical or theoretical.
A research problem can stem from:
- A gap in the literature
- Conflicts in research results within the literature
Real-life problems can also be sources of research problems, but solutions must contribute to the body of knowledge.
Practical problems from the workplace, home, and community can be sources of research problems but must be supported by a literature review to prove their existence and show that the problem has yet to be solved.
