 Research problem is the problem that
preceding the research and causing the
research itself. It is caused by the people’s
curiosity or something that they want to know
about. Then, the people try to obtain the answer
of the problem through the scientific method.
Research Purposes
 Aim: to find an answer to a problem
through scientific procedures
 From the way results are used, research can be
classified into

CHARACTERISTIC OF A
RESEARCH PROBLEM
A problem statement must have the following
characteristics:
 it should ask about a relationship between two
or more variables.
 It should be stated clearly and unambiguously
usually in question form.
 it should be testable by empirical methods, that
is, it should be possible to collect data to answer
the questions asked.
 it should not represent a moral or ethical
position.
Relationship between
Variables
 In this kind of problem the researcher
manipulates a minimum of one variable
to determine its effect on other variables.
 A problem statement will require at least
two variables and their relation.
 For example:
Are boys more likely than girls to have IQ’s in
excess of 120?
The Problem is Stated in
Question Form
 What is relationship between IQ and
achievement?
 Is there a relationship between racial
background and dropout rate?
 What is the relationship between rote
learning ability and socio-economics
status?
 See on page 74-75
Empirical Testability
 A problem should be testable by
empirical methods, that is through the
collection of data.
Avoidance of Moral or Ethical
Judgments
 Questions about ideals or values are often
more difficult to study than questions
about attitudes or performance.
 For example:
Are all philosophies equally inspiring?
Should students avoid cheating under all
circumstances?
 These example represent moral and
ethical issues and should be avoided.
Specific Considerations in
Choosing a Problem
1. Workability it refers problem’s
performnce
2. Critical Mass
3. Interest
4. Theoretical Value references
5. Practical Value
RESEARCH PREPARATION
1. Identification of Research
Problems
Problem arise when there are gaps between
expectations (Das sollen) and reality (Das sein).
It takes a few steps to be able to identify research
problem:
1. Observe a phenomenon or phenomena.
2. Take references.
3. Compare the phenomena with your references.
4. Determine whether or not there are gaps
between the phenomena and your references.
5. Formulate the problems based on the perceived
gaps.
2. Selecting a Research
Problem
 Nunan (1992) calls the problem as one of three
principal components of the study. Two other
components are the data and the analysis.
 Tuckman (1978) states among these requirements
are that research problem should be:
1. About relationships between two or more
variables.
2. Specific in the sense it refers to something
particular, not being too broad nor too narrow.
3. Answerable by using empirical methods.
4. Exempted from ethical or moral values.
3. Conceptualization and formulation of the
research problem
The process of transforming reality into
concept is called conceptualization. It is
done by extracting the meaning that is
shared by collection of phenomena.
4. Identification and operational definition of
variable
5. Formulating of hypotheses
6. Constructing research design
7. Constructing research instruments
8. Sampling techniques
FORMULATING
HYPOTHESES
Hypothesis is…
 Hypothesis is an expectation about events
based on generalizations of the assumed
relationship between variables.
 It also can be shorten that hypothesis is a
temporary answer to the research
problem.
 Hypothesis Shapes and guides a research
study in terms of:
 identification of study sample size
 what issues should be involved in data
collection
 the proper analysis of the data
 data interpretation
Characteristics of hypothesis
 It is about a relationship between two or
more variables
 It should be stated clearly and
unambiguously in the form of a
declarative sentence
 It should be testable, then can be
evaluated based on the data
Specific Hypothesis and
General Hypothesis
 Specific hypotheses: they require fewer
observations for testing,
 General hypotheses: after being
observed, they will be formulated to a
more specific one
The process to draw upon in
developing hypothesis
 Deduction
 Induction
 Deduction-- General to Specific
 In deductive reasoning, thinking proceeds
from general assumption to specific
application
 GENERAL  SPECIFIC
 Induction Specific to General
 Conclusions about events (general) are
based on information generated through
many individual and direct observations
(specific).
 SPECIFIC GENERAL
 Researchers observe an individual or group of
individuals from a larger population based
on these observations, generalizations are
made back to the larger population.
 Alternative hypothesis is the hypothesis
that affirmed. We construct them if the
null hypothesis is rejected.
 A null hypothesis is: the general statement
that states there is no relationship
between two measured phenomena. The
advantage of using it in research is
because in the reality it is difficult to
obtain unequivocal support for a
hypothesis so that the researcher
attempts to test and disprove its negation.
