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.
