Progress
I have discovered myriads of critical issues while developing the research problem. However, I must note some of the following discoveries. I have found that a research problem focuses on an area of concern and must be properly addressed in a brief statement (Bengtsson, 2016). Also, such an area of concern might be bringing a condition to be improved, a difficulty to be removed, a challenging question that has existed in the literature review or theory or even in practice and now needs meaningful and intentional scrutiny.
The link is working with expresses the qualities of a good qualitative problem statement. It defines the way to note both the independent and dependent variables, how to communicate a sense of emerging design, the specification of a hypothesis, and even the relationship between variables (Bengtsson, 2016).
Problems
Various challenges are imminent while evolving the research question; however, the most critical to note here is that the lack of better comprehension and good knowledge about the methodology is quite a big challenge. It also culminates in the inability to get modern, specialized, and connected references or even a lack of research interest. This is entirely a question of undertaking the research. Of course, with the very challenges, I need to get extremely familiar with my research topic.
Plans
My next plans herein are now to undertake a broad-based study on the topic and ensure that the research question is perfectly fitting. I would also review various pieces of literature to understand how I can maintain the scope relevance of my research and understand the very extent of the empirical data on the topic. Defining these aspects would enable me to focus on the same problem and look at how inductive and deductive arrive at the solution.
