The document outlines the research methodology process in 9 steps: 1) identify the research problem, 2) review previous literature, 3) formulate specific research objectives and hypotheses, 4) design the research procedure, 5) collect data, 6) organize and analyze the data, 7) formulate conclusions, 8) write the report of findings, and 9) identify a new research problem based on conclusions. It also discusses criteria for selecting a research problem such as novelty, practical value, and feasibility, and factors to consider like interest, size, resources, and uniqueness.

- 4. Criteria in Research Problem Selection • Problem Characteristics – Novelty and Originality – Practical Value – Availability of Data • Researcher’s Characteristics – Researcher’s Special Qualification/s – Researcher’s Interest/s • Process Feasibility – Time Requirement – Cost – Hazards and Hardships – Availability of Facilities 4
- 5. How Do You Select a Problem? • Interest – of interest to the researcher – of interest to others • Size – Macro in size: often too large for satisfactory results to be obtained • Economy – think about the possibility of receiving some support; – both financial and non-financial • Researcher’s Capabilities and Limitations – Organize a Panel in your are of study to monitor you progress. – Have people willing to support you throughout the research. • Uniqueness – may change the methods used; – modify the design; – use a different sample; or – choose to perform different statistical analyses. 5
