📽️ The scene opens with the narrator surprisingly jumps in front of the screen.
🧑💼 Narrator: Na-miss niyo ba kami? Narito ulit kami para pag-usapan ngayon kung paano ba tayo magfo-formulate ng maayos na statement of the problem ng research.
🧑💼 Narrator: Naaalala ba ninyo ang mga examples na ito from our previous video?
📽️ Show the following examples again on the screen. Start with the first example then transition into the second example while the narrator utters the following statement.
📋 Example 1: Does listening to Taylor Swift songs affect the performance of students in their exams?
📋 Example 2: How do the diversity and length of time in listening to Taylor Swift songs during review affect the performance of BS Psychology students in Metro Manila on their midterm exams?
🧑💼 Hmmm ano kaya ang pwede nating maging guide to transform this research problem from this (show Example 1) to this (show Example 2)? Note lang na focus muna tayo sa pagformulate ng research problems for quantitative research.
📽️ Prepare a white screen to display the texts to be presented for Steps 1 to 3.
🧑💼 Step 1: Identify your variables of interest - ano bang mga concepts ang kailangan i-measure or i-quantify para sa research ninyo? Tulad sa ating example, yung concept of “listening to Taylor Swift” ay hinati natin sa dalawang measurable variables: diversity in listening choice at length of time of listening. Sila ang magiging independent variables sa study natin. Tapos ginawa rin nating mas specific ang definition ng ating dependent variable bilang kanilang performance on midterm exams.
🧑💼Step 2: Relate your variables - ayon kay Creswell (2012), may 3 common approaches para i-konekta ang mga variables sa ating study.
Pwedeng mag-describe ng variables of interest natin. Example: What is the most common Taylor Swift songs or albums do the students listen to when they review? or What is the average score of the students in their midterm exams? Maaaring mag-compare ng mga grupo at tignan ang pagkakaiba nila sa ating dependent variable. Example: What is the difference between the mean midterm scores of students who listened to Taylor Swift during reviews versus those who did not? Maaaring maghanap ng association sa pagitan ng ating independent at dependent variables. Example: What is the association between the length of time listening to Taylor Swift’s song during review and the midterm exam scores of the students? 🧑💼Step 3: Polish your work! Be open to changes. May mga pagkakataon na kailangan baguhin ang research problems sa kalagitnaan ng research planning process. Keep your research problems brief and easy to understand. Choose a topic that is relevant to your field and feasible to study. Aim for a research problem that has meaningful implications and sparks curiosity. And formulate a problem that can be empirically tested and has a clear timeline for completion. Be open to changes. May mga pagkakataon na kailangan baguhin ang research problems sa kalagitnaan ng research planning process.
🧑💼Kung di pa rin kayo sigurado sa inyong research problems, magpaconsult lang sa Altabay Solutions. Mayroon kaming mga consultants na handang gumabay sa inyo sa tamang pagformulate ng inyong research problems.
🧑💼Buweno, hanggang dito na lang muna, samahan ulit kami sa susunod na episode. Ako si Gwyn, ang inyong partner sa research.
