Research begins with the identification of a researchable issue in the researcher's area of interest. There are a number of issues that may be traced back to pure, applied, or action research in every single area of education. The selection and development of an appropriate research issue is one of the most challenging jobs for any researcher, but particularly for a novice. A researcher may find a good research issue, or increase their problem-awareness, from a wide variety of resources.
The features of a good research problem are:
Significance,
Originality, &
Feasibility
Sources of Identifying a Problem
The first and most crucial stage in choosing an issue for your study is to get a solid grasp of the existing body of knowledge in your area of interest. Insight into the unanswered questions in the subject may be gleaned through familiarity with the studies that have been undertaken on the topic. This might be due to his/her lack of familiarity with research methods or inability to correctly identify the issue. It's possible that he or she is unaware of the issues plaguing the industry and calling for investigation. It is difficult for even a seasoned researcher to compile a comprehensive list of study topics. Every investigator chooses an issue to study based on his or her own interests and goals. Here, however, are a few key references that can aid in your search for an appropriate and noteworthy issue:
Professional Experience
One of the most productive sources that might inspire research questions is the researcher's own work experience. If you're a teacher, academic advisor, or work in a distance learning institute, you're probably faced with a variety of challenges in your work on a daily basis.
