The document discusses the difference between a research problem and research question. It provides examples of a general research problem about constructing safer pathways on a university campus. It then lists 5 specific research questions that would help investigate aspects of the general problem, such as determining appropriate materials, roofing, layout, dimensions, and incorporating green architecture. The document also provides guidelines for formulating good research questions, such as relating them to the problem, basing them on background literature, including variables, and making them measurable.

VS. RESEARCH QUESTION LESSON 6 MEANING OF RESEARCH PROBLEM
• The ultimate goal of research is not only the
propose ways of studying things,people,places and events, but also discover and introduce new practices,strategies and techniques in solving problem. The word “PROBLEM” makes you worry and pushes you to exert cosiderable effort in finding a solution for it. BACKGROUND OF THE PROBLEM
• You must not rush in gathering ideas and
information about your topic. First, spend time in getting background knowledge about the problem that triggered off your research topic to discover its relation to what the world, particularly the experts, professionals, and learned people know about the topic. RESEARCH QUESTUONS
• The research problem enables you to generate a
set of research questions. However, your ability to identify your research problem and to formulate the research question depends on the background knowledge you have about the topic. THE CONSTRUCTION OF ONE GENERAL QUESTION AND SPECIFIS QUESTION IN A RESEARCH PAPER Research Problem: The need to have a safer,comfortable, and healthful walk or transfer od students from place to place in the UST campus Research Topic: The construction of a covered Pathways in the UST Campus General Question: What kind of covered path should UST construct in its campus? SPECIFIC QUESTIONS:
1. What materials are needed for the construction of the covered
pathways in the UST campus? 2. What roofing material is appropriate for the covered path? 3. In what way can covered pathway link all buildings in the campus? 4. What is the width and height of the covered path? 5. How can the covered path realize green architecture? • Research questions aim at investigating specific aspects of the research problem. Though decuded from the general or mother question, one specific question may lead to another sub-problem or sub-question, a set of research questions plays a crucial part in the entire research work. GUIDELINES IN FORMULATING RESEARCH QUESTIONS 1. Established a clear relation between the research questions and the problem or topic. 2. Base your research questions on your RRL or Review of Related Literature because existing published works help you get good background knowledge of the research problem and help you gauge the people’s current understanding or unfamiliarity about the topic, as well as the extend of their knowledge and interest in it. 3. Formulate research questions that can arouse your curiosity and 4. State your research questions in such a way that they include all dependent and independent variables referred to by the theories, principles, or concepts underlying your research work. 5. Let the set of research questions or sub-problems be preceded by one question expressing the main problem of the research. 6. Avoid asking research questions that are answerable with “yes”or ”no ” and the “how” questions only in a quantitative research. 7. Be guided by the acronym SMART (sfecific,measurable,attainable,realistic,time-bound) in formulating the research questions.
