Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDF- The other three characteristics, newness, feasibility, and social significance, are all important considerations when formulating a research problem.
- Newness:
- A good research problem often pertains to a new or novel area of investigation. It should contribute to the existing knowledge and fill gaps in the literature.
- Feasibility:
- The research problem should be feasible in terms of resources, time, and practicality. It should be possible to conduct the research within the available constraints.
- Social significance:
- A research problem should be socially significant, meaning that it addresses issues or problems relevant to society, communities, or individuals.
- However, the satisfaction of the mind of the researcher (option 2) is not a characteristic that pertains to the research problem.
- While it is essential for researchers to be interested and motivated by the research problem they choose, the personal satisfaction of the researcher is not a primary characteristic of the research problem itself.
- The focus should be on the potential contribution to knowledge and the significance of the problem to the field of study and the broader society.
