Synopsis

The first step in the research process is the selection of a suitable problem from the field chosen by the researcher. In each field or area of education, several problems exist which may have reference to pure, applied, or action research. The choice and formulation of a suitable problem is one of the most difficult tasks for a researcher, especially if he/she is a beginner. There are many sources to which a researcher may go for a suitable research problem, or from which he/she may develop a sense of problem awareness.
The features of a good research problem are its:
Significance
Originality
Sources of Identifying a Problem
A thorough understanding of known facts and ideas in the field of your interest as a researcher constitute the first and the most important step in selecting a problem for your study. A thorough knowledge of the research studies conducted in the field provides you with details about the problems which have remained unresolved. This may be due to his/her limited knowledge of research processes or his/her unpreparedness for identifying the problem. He/she may not be familiar with the problems in the field which need solution through research. Even an experienced researcher finds it difficult to list all the problems that need to be researched. Each researcher selects a problem because of his/her own needs and purposes. The following, are, however, some important sources which would help you identify a suitable and significant problem.
