. . .it helps the researcher

identify and define a research

problem

. . .it helps justify the needs

for studying a problem

. . .helps prevent unnecessary

duplication of the study

. . .can be a source of

theoretical basis for the study

. . .enables the researcher to learn

how to conceptualize a research problem

and properly identify and operationally

define study variables

. . .provide a basis for identifying and using appropriate research design

. . .the results of related studies

provide lessons for data analysis and

interpretation

…should start while the research problem is being conceptualized

…the researcher, in identifying the

problem, must be able to show

evidences that the problem exist and is worth investigating

further

…it is important that the researcher

knows what is already known

about the problem

…it is also imperative that the researcher is

able to deduce questions that need to be answered further before the research
