    Study Notes

    Problem Statement Elements

    • A problem statement consists of three elements: the problem itself, the method of solving the problem, and the purpose and scope of the document
    • The problem should be stated clearly with enough contextual detail to establish its importance

    Research Problem

    • A research problem is a statement about an area of concern, condition to be improved, difficulty to be eliminated, or a troubling question
    • It is typically posed in the form of a question and points to the need for meaningful understanding and deliberate investigation

    Example of a Research Problem

    • GRADE 11 STUDENTS’ LEVEL OF AWARENESS ON THE 3R’S METHOD IN UTILIZING NON-BIODegradable WASTE IN LA SALLE UNIVERSITY
    • This example highlights a problem in the context of environmental concerns and solid waste management

    Environmental Concerns

    • Environmental concerns are a pressing issue in today’s society, particularly in relation to solid waste
    • Waste is defined as materials that are no longer needed at some point
    • Biodegradable wastes can be easily decomposed, while non-biodegradable wastes cannot be broken down and remain stable indefinitely
    • Non-biodegradable wastes pose significant environmental problems

    Conceptual Framework

    • A conceptual framework is an analytical tool used to design research, comprising a philosophical and methodological model
    • It helps organize ideas, makes theoretical and conceptual distinctions, and captures real-world phenomena in a memorable and applicable way
    • Conceptual frameworks provide evidence of academic standards and procedures, validating the authenticity of the study

    Creating a Conceptual Framework

    • Conduct a literature review to understand existing research on the topic of interest
    • Position the research within the larger field of study
    • Present the relevant research and show how the study will advance the field
    • Create a flow chart or diagram to visualize the research
    • Write a narrative that recaps the variables influencing the research and explores how they may change the hypothesis
