Flashcards

Problem formulation definition

The stage where one or more questions are written to guide the investigation to solve the identified problem.

Problem contextualization

Understanding the background and wider context of a problem to frame it appropriately.

Formulation of objectives

Setting specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART) goals for addressing a problem.

Problem identification

Recognizing and defining the specific issue or challenge that needs to be addressed.

Study Notes

  • The question asks which stage involves drafting one or more questions to guide research in solving the identified problem.
  • The correct answer is "Formulación del problema" (Problem Formulation).
  • Problem Formulation involves defining the problem clearly and developing research questions.
  • Contextualization of the problem involves understanding its background and environment.
  • Formulation of objectives sets specific goals for the research.
  • Identification of the problem involves recognizing and defining the problem itself.
