A statement
of the problem is
used in research work as a claim that outlines the problem addressed by a
study. The statement of the problem briefly addresses the question: What is the
problem that the research will address? (Bwisa, 2018)
While a research
problem is a
situation that needs a solution and for which there are possible solutions. If
a situation has no possible solution then it makes little or no sense for
research.
Views about statement of the problem (Bwisa, 2018)
•A statement of the problem is used in
research work as a claim that outlines the problem addressed by a study.
•A good research problem should address an
existing gap in knowledge in the field and lead to further research.
•To write a persuasive problem statement,
you need to describe (a) the ideal, (b), the reality, and (c) the consequences.
How to write Statement of the Problem
A
declarativegeneral statement is
presented first while the specific statements (in interrogative form) come
next. Then, this is followed by objective of the study which exposes the
purposes the research wants to achieve.
Example of Statement of the Problem
There
were some important points that needed understanding. The following served as a
guide questions that led to meaningful information that would help the teachers
who encountered the same problems.
These question were as follows:
1. What is the academic performance in terms
of teaching strategy?
2. Is there significant difference of
academic performance in Mathematics in terms of:
a. Lecture-discussion method
b.
jigsaw method
c.
think pair share
3. What are the problems of slow learners
and their effects to learning?
4. What are the programs that will
contribute to the effectiveness of teaching strategies on slow learners?
Example of Objective of the Study (You will based it on Statement of the Problem)
1. Determine the is the academic performance
in terms of teaching strategy?
2. Determine the significant difference of
academic performance in Mathematics in terms of:
a. Lecture-discussion method
b. jigsaw method
c. think pair share
3. Determine the problems of slow learners and
their effects to learning?
4. Determine the programs that will contribute
to the effectiveness of teaching strategies on slow learners
