problem. Accomplish the last column, too. Quantitative Research Problem Researchable Non- Researchable Comments, reasons, reactions
- What are the viewer’s thoughts and feelings about the ending of the story?
- What percentage of the movie viewers find the ending tragic?
- How many find the movie unrealistic?
- Does the movie reflect Philippine culture?
- What fractional number represents the extent of the movie’s projection of Filipino culture?
- In the director’s attempt to explain the cultural impacts of the movie, what reasons did he give?
- What kind of reasons or causes did he give to clarify the viewers’ questions on Philippine culture in relation to the movie?
- In terms of frequency of different causes given by the director, in what rank order is the reason on lack of intercultural competence?
- How many causes are attributed to globalization?
- What value system of the director did the movie reflect? Coland Systems Technology, Inc. Mr. Amar Abas Mohammad
- If I do this research project, how useful will it be to me as a senior high graduate and to the community where I belong, and even to the larger community, the Philippines, the ASEAN and the world? Research Questions vs. Quantitative Research Problem Several reasons prod you to define or finalize a research problem or a research topic. But this does not mean that after spending time thinking about a research problem, immediately, you plunge into carrying out an investigation or collecting and analyzing data. Thinking of a research problem or a topic to research on is a beginning act in research. Another initial research act is asking a set of specific questions or identifying sub-problems about your research problem. These specific or sub questions, called Research Questions to specify the scope and the method in collecting and analyzing data, give you the right direction in your research. In addition, they are questions to give further definition or explanation of the research problem by stressing the fact that they elicit answers to clarify or solve the research problem, which is the main problem of the research. Here are examples of statements to show the relationship between a quantitative research problem and research questions. (Thomas 2013; Layder 2013) Research Problem Interrogative statement: What percentage of Manila private universities considers the use of grammar textbooks as the most effective way to help college students attain communicative competence? Declarative statement : The main objective of this study is to find out the percentage of Manila private universities considering the use of grammar text books as the most effective way to help college students attain communicative competence. Research Questions Interrogative statements:
- What is an English grammar textbook?
- What is communicative competence?
- What components of the grammar textbook work for communicative- competence development?
- How many Manila private universities require the use of grammar textbooks?
- How many Manila private universities use grammar textbooks as references only?
- To what extent do Manila private universities find grammar textbooks effective in helping college students attain communicative competence? Guidelines in Formulating a Quantitative Research Problem and Research Questions
- Formulate a research problem that is researchable; meaning, open to empirical investigation.
- See to it that you state your quantitative research problem clearly, concisely, and possibly, if under APA referencing style, not beyond 12 words.
- Have your research problem focus on a general understanding of your research topic.
- Construct a research problem that mirrors the importance of carrying out the research for finding answers or solutions to a problem.
- Let your quantitative research problem state the variables and their relationships with one another.
- Construct an introductory statement to present your research problem, which is the main problem of your research.
- State your research questions or sub-problems, not in the form of yes-or-no questions, but in informative questions.
- Express your research problem and research questions either in an interrogative or declarative manner, but some research books say that the former is more effective than the latter form. (Babbie 2013; Punch 2014; Walliman 2014) General Characteristics of a Research Title In general, a research title should have the following characteristics:
- It should summarize the main idea of the paper.
- It should be a concise statement of the main topic.
- It should include the major variable/s of the research study.
- It should be self-explanatory.
- It should describe imply the respondents of the study. Guidelines in Formulating the Research Title
- The researcher should avoid using words that serve no useful purpose and can mislead indexers. Words such a “methods,” “results,” and “investigations” should not appear in the title.
- In many cases, the general problem of the research or even the specific question that the researcher intends to answer, when rewritten in a statement form, can serve as the title.
- The title must have at least 8-15 words. Choosing the Research Problem as a High School Student For high school student researchers, it is highly practical that the K-12 track of education must be the primary consideration in the final selection of the problem. That is, it should be based on the Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) track or to the Accountancy, Business and Management (ABM) track not only to control the difficulty and scope of the topics to be used but also to maintain its relevance to the other subjects to be tackled in the following semesters. In other words, each student must choose a research problem that he/she is capable of “handling” effectively. High school students must avoid problems that are too complicated. Students must, therefore focus on problems that are simpler yet significant to their academic level.
