• To make it easier for researchers to write about it

• To guarantee it can be studied effectively

• To avoid unnecessary work

What is the purpose of the problem identification step?

• To analyze causes, consequences, and importance

• To select the research title

• To collect all possible data

• To create a survey

What must a problem statement include?

• Research objectives, questions, justification, and feasibility

• Only a hypothesis

• A list of potential sources

• summary of previous studies

What is the function of a literature review?

• To define the research problem more clearly

• To find errors in previous research

• To ensure the study follows legal guidelines

• To list all the books used

Why is it important to identify knowledge gaps in the literature review?

• To prove that previous research was incorrect

• o justify the need for new research

What does a well-defined research problem contribute to?

• Meaningful research results

• Faster publication

• Less effort in writing

• Avoiding research altogether

What is the final takeaway from the research process?

• Research does not require structure

• Only experts can conduct research

• A well-planned process leads to good research
