PROBLEM
any significant, perplexing and challenging situation, real or artificial, the solution of which
requires reflective thinking
a perplexing situation after it has been translated into a question or series of questions that
help the direction of subsequent inquiry
Aim or purpose of the problem for investigation. This answers the question “Why?”
Why is there an investigation, inquiry or study?
The subject matter or topic to be investigated. This answers the question “What?”
What is to be investigated or studied?

The place or locale where the research is to be conducted. This answers the question “Where?”
Where is the study to be conducted?
The period or time of the study during which the data are to be gathered. This answers the question
“When?”
When is the study to be carried out?
Population or universe from whom the data are to be collected. This answers the question “Who?”
“From whom?”

4. Scope and Limitations of the Project
Project Context
(must be at least 2 pages of presentation and discussions of…)
The proponent should introduce the presentation of the problem, that is, what is the problem is all
about. The proponent should describe the existing and prevailing problem situation based on his or
her experience. This scope may be global, national, or regional and local.
1. The proponent should give strong justification for selecting such research problem in his/her
capacity as a researcher. Being part of the organization or systems and the desire and
concern to improve the systems.

2. The researcher state a sentence or two that would show the link and relationship of the
rationale of the study to the proposed research problem.
Start with the General Objective which is very parallel to the project title.
Explode the general objective into Specific
Objectives that will help realize the proposed study.
Objectives should be SMART
Think the project scope as a box. High-level scope defines the sides of the box and separates
what is relevant to your project from what is irrelevant.
The scope refers to the work that needs to be accomplished to deliver a product, service, or
result with the specified features and functions.
The scope explains the nature, coverage, and time frame of the study
The limitation, on the other hand, explains all that are NOT included in your project.
In other words, the scope of the project gives an overview all the deliverables (i.e. the
things that your project gives/delivers), and the tools and technologies used that will be
used in the project development while the limitations of the project are the boundaries of
the project (i.e. areas / things that are out of scope).
A survey or review of related literature and studies is very important because such reviews literature
and studies serve as a foundation of the proposed study. This is because related literature and
studies guide the researcher in pursuing his research venture.

The following are the different ways on how the review of related literature and studies help as a
guide to the researcher:
1. They help or guide the researcher in searching for or selecting a better research problem or
topic.
2. They help the investigator understand his topic for research better.
3. They ensure that there will be no duplication of other studies.
4. They help and guide the researcher in locating more sources of related information.
5. They help the researcher in making his research design.
6. They help and guide the researcher in making comparison between his findings with the
findings of other researchers on similar studies with the end in view of formulating
generalizations or principles which are the contributions of the study to the fund of knowledge.
