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
