The Specificity and Feasibility of the Problem Posed

A specific and feasible research problem In order to assess the specificity and feasibility
must introduce the general area under of a problem posed, it's important to consider a
study and details the more narrow few key factors:
questions. Research problems must be  Clarity of the problem statement: Is the
compelling topic which means it should problem clearly defined and easy to
be relevant to specific discipline. understand? Does it include specific details
about the issue being addressed?
The Specificity and Feasibility of the Problem Posed

 Scope of the problem: Is the problem narrow and


well-defined, or is it broad and vague? A specific
problem is more likely to be feasible, as it's easier
 Potential for impact: Is the problem significant
to identify potential solutions and take action. enough to warrant attention and resources? Will
addressing it lead to meaningful improvements or
 Availability of resources: Are there sufficient benefits?
resources available to address the problem? This
includes things like time, funding, and personnel.
Specificity of the Problem

For example, "How can we reduce plastic waste in


our office by 50% in the next six months?"
The specificity of a problem refers to
how clearly and precisely the
problem is defined. A specific
problem is one that is well-defined,
clear, and narrowly focused.
Feasibility of the Problem

For example, if a team is tasked with reducing plastic


waste in an office, they may propose a solution to
Feasibility, on the other hand, refers

of a proposed solution. A feasible
problem is one that is realistically
achievable given the available
resources, time, and expertise.

It may be too broad, vague,
What is the best way to be happy? subjective, or unverifiable.
Who is the most beautiful person in the world?
What is the best way to raise a child?

These questions cannot be answered through research


because they are subjective, philosophical, or based on
personal opinions rather than empirical evidence. While
they may be interesting or important questions to
explore, they are not suitable for research studies that
require empirical data and objective analysis.
Examples of researchable questions include:
What is the relationship between sleep duration and academic

achievement of elementary school children?

These questions can be answered through research


because they are specific, measurable, and testable.
They can be explored through empirical data collection
and analysis, and they can provide insights and findings
that can be used to inform decision-making, policy
development, and further research.
