💪 How to Write a Problem Statement for Your Research: A Step-by-Step Guide 🎓

[@saahreuben5734]

I'm in Ghana and I just came across your videos. It's been educative and very helpful to me. It's gonna guide me in my future PhD thesis and publications. Thanks Dr. Saeed!

[@MrMuhammadsabir1]

Great explanation in concise and organised manner

[@muhammadmuntaseeryakubu7426]

Nice one

[@stephenachuokpwa]

Very good video and encouraging. However, choosing a research topic used to be one of the main huddles during graduate programs. However, the recent rise in graduate students with fewer lecturers has birthed a new form of delay in the world of academia. Lecturers, or thesis advisers or supervisors have become increasing occupied with other aspects and may have little time for their students. If you are looking for someone to review your dissertation/thesis in the fields of social sciences and humanities, then I am the right Reviewer for you.

Am from Malawi l have been assisted with your videos as am in the final year doing research. Well articulated but need further clarification on literature review if possible

[@SawadogoBruno]

I'm from Ivory Coast and I find this video very insightful and helpful for Phd Student like me. I would like to know, Where exactly is the place of the Problem Statement in the Research Background when adressing a thesis dissertation, At the end? After the context? And what make them different ? I'm always confuse about that! Thanks Dr. Saeed!

[@semagn2127]

Nice to see you again after your impressive lectures on SEM. We appreciate your global scientific contributions !

[@saeedsharif]

Thank you for your comment. :) I have done the recording for my next videos but looking for someone who can help me with editing them. It's really challenging to work alone!

[@theopistaabalo7854]

@@saeedsharif Your videos are quite fulfilling a University student working on improving my research skills. Let me know in case you need help in editing. I would be glad to help

[@faithnamengwakamoto4430]

[@saeedsharif]

I see. It's an interesting and relevant topic. And I understand the challenges. What's your methodology in this research?

[@yoidela1547]

Thank you so much sir. Straightforward and comprehensive.

[@komailv3846]

Very informative, need practical explanation for problem statement with any your article

[@saeedsharif]

Sure I will. Thank you for your feedback!

[@mathewjr]

I am from Papua New Guinea. Your video has helped me to write my case study research report.

[@ampofoseth]

its my first time of listening to you and I must confess that I have really learnt the basics of writing research problem. I am PhD student from Ghana, and I am struggling to write my research problem. this will help me a lot to write good research problem. I am most grateful to you.

[@franksonsinyangwe1268]

Can you cite or quote a scholar when writing problem statement?

[@saeedsharif]

Sure

[@enniaskawadza2736]

I am speechless ...this is so simple and amazing ...l dont know how to thank you but thank you so much you are the best❤

[@mehtabbabar1832]

It would be more helpful if you could give a practical example of a problem statement. By giving an example, this part can be very well understood. Sorry, it is my thinking.

[@amanyhafiz4095]

You are very fast

[@agusarrien4958]

This is absolutely brilliant. Thank you, doctor. I'm a PhD student in Argentina and this is what I've been looking for a long time!

[@gutafekadu803]

Thank you doctor. Your video has enriched my understanding and really assisted me to resolve my shortcomings. Guta from Ethioia.

[@TechFriscon]

Informative lecture,,,,,however you should also include an example for problem statement as you did in explaining background.

[@laxmanbhandari4489]

Dr. Saeed, thank you for your insightful video on How to Write a Problem Statement.... I found it really interesting and useful. Do you have such insightful videos of doing a case study research and action research?

[@NjahMoise]

Wow!! That's excellent sir, to know between research observation, norms and research problem which of this comes first and which following in writing a research statement?

[@AzizDik0346]

Your videos are awesome. It is very easy to follow. But there is one gap and that is you didn't share a single sample of problem statement. Please must include 2-3 examples with each topic Which shows how you practically applied the rules. Thanks❤

[@luyej.cruz77]

Hello thanks for this please but is there a video where you explain all that is required in writing a research proposal basically for a Bsc. Statistics?

[@shesaidsomething1]

This was very good. Most of us have to stumble through this process and eventually have enough experience to find these steps however this was a lovely summary of the process of choosing topics to research based on defining problems and assessing their potential impact.

[@saeedsharif]

Thank you for your nice message. I realised that many guides are somewhat general and broad, making it challenging for researchers to apply them effectively. So, I created this step-by-step guide to help researchers write a more specific and actionable problem statement. Hope it is beneficial! :)

[@tinashe-back-to-roots]

Wow, thank you, I guess I really need more help from you.

[@joshuaappiah-kubi6371]

Thanks for this educative lecture on problem statement

[@muturikanini9176]

Thank you,a very clear explanation.From Nairobi Kenya.

[@abubakarwalidmohammed6758]

Sir I am really impress about your lecture but my concerns here is in chapter one after my introduction, significant of the study do you mean that I have to follow all of your guidelines in stating my problem in chapter one alone because I am writing a project proposal, thank you very much sir

[@lauyalipigwe5969]

Very concise and explicit. Your videos are a top guide. Thank you very much, Sir.

[@saeedsharif]

Thank you very much. Please tell me about yourself. Are you studying PhD?

THANK YOU VERY MUCH DR. I HAVE REALLY LEARNT A LOT ABOUT PROBLEM STATEMENT. CAN YOU PLESASE HELP ME WITH RESEARCH AND METHODOLOGY? I MEAN THE DIFFERENCE. THANK YOU

[@SAIDABDULLAHIADEN]

thank you for your real explanation just i avail hight notes from your video ikeep going and going

[@dosumueverlist3339]

Thank you Dr. I cant find the link for contribution you mentioned in this video. Do you mind sharing it again?

[@anitalow3628]

Dear Sir, Step (1) - What we know about the problem. Is this step one of the parts in the Funnel Approach (1:45 how to write background video)? Step (2) - What we don't know about the problem. Is this step written by using 3-step approach (6:10 how to write contribution video)? Step (3) - Why do we need to know what we don't know. Is this step also parts of the Funnel Approach (1:45 Highlight the importance of the issue in the how to write background video)? Also, do we write the Research Background and Problem Statement in the different sub-sections in our thesis? In case these are written separately, it seems that we have repeatedly present many similar things in both subsections.

[@saeedsharif]

Thank you for sharing your observation! You are correct. The sections are similar, but they are presented differently to serve distinct purposes. When writing papers, we typically do not allocate separate sections for them and instead consolidate everything in the introduction section. However, in a thesis, it is customary to have separate sections dedicated to each. I understand that this may appear repetitive, but as I mentioned in the video, it is a standard practice in thesis writing.

[@anitalow3628]

@@saeedsharif in paper writing, it seems that Funnel Approach in the Background is the Mother Set meanwhile Problem Statement is the sub-set to the Background. Also, the Contribution is the sub-set of Problem Statement (which Contribution is embedded in the Problem Statement).

[@saeedsharif]

I just saw this message. Thank you for providing this valuable summary!

[@DrGriff2000]

Do you have an example statement?

Thank you for reaching out and sharing your research topic with me. Remember that your problem statement will serve as a guidepost for your research, helping you stay focused and aligned with your research objectives. Let me know how you may formulate your problem statement following the instructions provided in the video. Best of luck with your work.

Is the problem statement part of the introduction, or is it separate?

Sir, thanks for the best way to explain, sir kindly make a video on how to include background theory by linking it in the current study with practical examples..
