FROM QUESTIONS TO PROBLEMS

FROM QUESTIONS TO PROBLEMS

1. IDENTIFY THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE RESEARCH QUESTION

   • "RESEACRHER NEEDS TO ENVOLVE FROM MERELY DISCORVERING AND UNDERSTANDING TO SHOWING AND EXPLAINING THINGS TO OTHERS"
   • THE STUDY HAS TO ANSWER A PROBLEM AND IT IS A HARD STEP FOR ALL THE RESERACHERS
   • PRACTICAL PROBLEMS
     • NATURE OF PRACTICAL PROBLEMS
       • CONDITION: THE HOLE IN THE OZONE LAYER IS GROWING
         • "THE CONDITION CAN BE LITERALLY ANYTHING"
       • POSIBLE COST: MANY WILL DIE FROM SKIN CANCER
         • A TANGIBLE COST THAT YOU DO NOT WANT TO PAY AND MAKES YOU UNHAPPY
       • READERS WILL JUDGE THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE PROBLEM BECAUSE IT HAS TO HAVE A COST TO THEM
         • CONVINCE YOUR READERS THAT YOUR PROBLEM IS REAL PROBLEM!
     • A CONDITION
   • RESEARCH PROBLEMS
     • CONSEQUENCES OR "COST"
     • NATURE OF RESEARCH PROBLEMS
       • CONDITION: THERE IS ALWAYS A VERSION OF NOT KNOWING OR NOT UNDERSTANDING SOMETHING
       • ITS CONDITIONS AND ITS COSTS ARE ALWAYS ABSTRACT
       • THE COST OF RESEARCH PROBLEMS IS "SOMETHING ELSE WE AND OUR READERS DO NOT KNOW BUT IS MORE SIGNIFICANT THEN OUR IGNORANCE"
         • "something that you do not know but you want to"
       • PURE RESEARCH
         • IT IS WHEN THE SOLUTION OF A RESEARCH PROBLEM HAS NOT APPLICATION TO ANY PRACTICAL PROBLEM, BUT ONLY TO THE SCHOLARY INTERESTS OF SOME RESEARCHERS
       • APPLIED RESEARCH
         • "IS IS WHEN THE SOLUTION TO A RESEARCH PROBLEM DOES NOT HAVE PRACTICAL CONSEQUENCES
         • IT REFERS TO DOING
       • TO FIND A GOOD PROBLEM YOU CAN ASK FOR HELP, LOOK FOR PROBLEMS AS YOU READ, LOOK FOR THE PROBLEM THAT YOUR CLAIM SOLVES
   • SO WHAT?
