The Research Problem | Chapter 2 Summary (Introduction to Research)
In this video, we explore Chapter 2: The Research Problem from Ary, Jacobs, Irvine, Walker’s Introduction to Research in Education. This chapter emphasizes that identifying and formulating a clear research problem is the foundation of any meaningful study. It explains how research problems emerge from personal experience, literature, and theory, and how a researcher can refine a general area of curiosity into a focused, researchable question. You’ll learn about: How to choose a worthwhile and personally motivating research topic Major sources of research problems (experience, related literature, and theory) The process of transforming a problem into a research question and hypothesis Writing clear and testable hypotheses Developing a quantitative research plan including problem statement, question, hypothesis, method, and data analysis steps This chapter helps students understand that good research begins with asking the right question — one that is both significant and researchable.
