STEP 6: FORMULATE THE
RESEARCH PROBLEM OR PURPOSE
Your problem statement should explain what it is
you are trying to discover (or study) .
The statement should be written in the form of a
question.
STATEMENT OF THE
PROBLEM
A clear and concise statement of the problem is
important for :
1. It provides a focus for the researcher and is an
essential step in investigation; and
2. It gives the reader and use of the research
important information.
STATEMENT OF THE
PROBLEM
The statement of the problem should not
be too general nor too specific
It should contain sufficient details and
information in a sentence that is clear and
succint
EXAMPLE:

1. The purpose of this research is


to study seagrass.
2. This study investigates the
relationship of morphology of
crustacean
EXAMPLE:
1. The purpose of this research is to identify the
species of seagrass collected from the shoreline
of six towns in Iloilo namely Joaquin, Tigbuan,
Carles, Mag-ao, Estancia and Dumangas and to
describe its demographic characterstics by
comparing its mean, age, gross recruitment,
mortality rate and net recruiting nutrients and
reproductive dynamics by determining the
frequency and seasonality of flowering and its
vegetative dynamics by determining the vertical
growth rate of shoots and horizontal elongation
rate of rhizomes.
WHAT IS THE RIGHT STATEMENT OF THE
PROBLEM

Thisstudy will describe the


community structures of
seagrassess in coastal
areas in Iloilo.
1. The problem must be researchable

( one that can be answered by collecting and


analyzing data)

2. The problem should be important

( results of research need to have theoretical


and practical importance)
3. The problem should indicate the
type of research

The language used in the research problem


should indicate whether the study have a
simple description, relationship or difference
A. Relationship problems that
indicate correlation

What is the relationship between ion concentration


and voltage output?

Is there a relationship between density and refractive


index?
B. Relationship problems that
indicate studies of difference

What is the difference in the protein content of goats


milk and cows milk?
C. Relationship problems that indicate
cause-and-effect relationships

Will starving increase the amylase activity of tilapia?

Is there a difference in the amount of dissolved


oxygen between the water samples treated with
seaweeds than that which is not treated?
4. The problem should specify the population

The population is SIMPLY THE


ORGANISMS that the researcher wants to
investigate

5. The problem should specify the variables


NAME the variables and HOW they may be
RELATED in a single sentence
6. The problem should be
clear
- Includes terms that are not
ambiguous. The terms effect,
effective, achievement,
method, role are
AMBIGUOUS.

Scientists use the following terms:

Subject: What is being tested.

Variables: Conditions that are changed.

Independent variable: The variable that is


changed and controlled by you.
Dependent variable: The variable that changes
and is not controlled by you.

Controls: All the conditions that are not


changed.
This section describes your
experiment.

The information in this section comes


from the Procedures of the experiment.
In the paper, this information should not
be a list of steps.

The materials and methods should be


in paragraph form and in past tense.
Include levels of treatment, numbers of
replications, and control treatments.

If living organisms is used, include the species


and the sex of the organism if that information is
relevant to the experiment.

DO NOT try to justify your procedures in this section.

Write the procedures concisely, but in paragraph


form.
STEP 11 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

When you complete your experiments,


examine and organize your findings.
Explain what happen.
This section is presentation of data.
The authors report what happened in their
experiments.
The report is usually supplemented with:

graphs

tables

photographs
Number figures and tables
consecutively throughout the paper.

Refer to figures and tables within the


paragraph as you describe your results,
using the word Figure or Table,
followed by its number. For example,
"(Figure 1)."
If possible, place each figure or table
at the end of the paragraph in which it is

WHAT IS IT?
IMRAD, which stands
for Introduction,
Methods, Results and
Discussion is a
standard layout for
academic journal
articles.
It also typically requires
a title, abstract, tables
and figures,
acknowledgments and
references to literature
cited.
WHAT IS IT?
It requires suitable
background
knowledge so that the
paper:

1) complies with
widely recognized
publication standards

2) is approved in the
peer-review process
with the minimum of
amendments
THIS IS WHAT A TYPICAL THESIS
MIGHT LOOK LIKE.

This is what a typical thesis might look
