problem identi鍖cation
what are all the relevant
facts?
what may have produced or
caused this unsatisfactory
condition?
what do we hope to
achieve?
what are the characteristics
of our problem?
state problem clearly,
describe thoroughly. focus on
problem before solutions
10. what is a
problem?
undesired situation
desired situation
obstacles
11. writing a research question
How does speci鍖c problem affect the local
community; speci鍖cally, why does the problem exist, what
is the magnitude, what are the costs, who are the
populations affected; and why cant we 鍖x it?
What is the difference between desired situation and
undesired situation and how can we reduce the
obstacles (speci鍖cally, reasons it exists, magnitude,
costs, populations affected, why cant we 鍖x it) standing
in our way?
