Homework III
5. Find 2-3 examples of the formulation of good research problems from reputable scholarly journals
(the research-based articles).

1. Research problems are the educational issues, controversies, or concerns that guide the need for
conducting a study.
c. The lack of parental involvement in schools for students with challenging behaviors
3.
b. FOCUSING THE TOPIC/FORMULATING A RESEARCH QUESTION , after you come up with an idea, you
need to decide on what aspects of that idea you will emphasize. You can focus a topic by geography
(Utah schools), a specific population (elementary school students), or to a particular time period (civil
rights movement in the 1950s and 1960s). You don’t have to focus your topic in all these ways; these are
just some possibilities
c. In social science research the first and most important step of research is formulation of research
problems. It is like the foundation of building which is going to construct, and drafting an outline of a
building is not an easy task. In the same way identifying of various research problems is not an easy task.
If someone wants to solve a problem he/she must have to know about the problem. So in the social
science research, problem formulation is very important for the researcher before conducting the
research. In this article I have tried to focus on several factors through which one can identify the
problems which can occur at the time of research.
