Policy
Formulating the problem statement
Why?
– It is foundation for further development of
proposal
– It makes it easier to find relevant information
for development of proposal
– It justifies the proposed research
Formulating the problem statement
• What to include
– Socio-demographic data, including
developmental aspects
– Nature of problem, highlighting discrepancy
– Possible factors influencing problem
– What has been done to address the problem
– Expected outcome and its usefulness
– Define crucial concepts
Instructions for individual work
1. Identify a research topic
2. Make a problem analysis diagram
•
Rearrange factors into broader categories
3. Prepare a 1 page statement of the problem for
your proposed project highlighting the
following:
–
–
–
–
Nature of problem, highlighting discrepancy
Possible factors influencing problem
What has been done to address problem
Expected outcome and its usefulness
