Research Process ( Review )


What Is A Research Problem?



• The identification and analysis a research problem is the first and most crucial step of research process.

• Defining a research problem is the fuel that drives the scientific process, and is the foundation of any research method and experimental design, from true experiment to case study.




Signifikansi Masalah Riset

1. Perumusan masalah merupakanlangkah awal yang menentukan bagipenyusunan mata rantai metodologikberikutnya.

2. Dengan perumusan penelitian yang baik, peneliti dapat mengetahui“prognosis” penelitian yang akandilakukan.


Signifikansi Masalah Riset

3. Dari rumusan masalah dapat diketahuikonfirmasi ketepatan judul dan tujuanpenelitian yang ditetapkan.

4. Dari rumusan masalah dapat diketahui seberapa jauh bobot dan orisinalpenelitian yang dilakukan.


Sources Of Problems

1. Personal experiences of the investigator in the field of education are the main source for identifying suitable problem.

2. The other source of problem which is the extensive study of available literature-research abstracts, journals, hand-books of research international abstracts etc.


Sources Of Problems

3. In the choice of a suitable problem, the researcher should study the field intensively in the specific area, this may enable him to identify a problem from the specific field.

4. The new innovations, technological changes and developments are constantly bringing new problems and new-opportunities.


Sources Of Problems

5. The most practical source of problem is to consult supervisor, experts of the field and most experienced person of the field.

6. It is a general practice that researchers suggest some problems in their research reports.


Steps to identifying a research problem1. Determining the field of research in

which a researcher is think clearly to do the research work.

2. The researcher should develop the mastery on the area or it should be the field of his specialization.

3. He should review the researches conducted in area to know the recent trend and studies in the area.


Steps to identifying a research problem

4. On the basis of review, he should consider the priority field of the study.

5. He should draw an analogy and insight in identifying a problem or employ his personal experience of the field in locating the problem.

6. He should pin-point specific aspect of the problem which is to be investigated

Masalah terlampau luas

Masalah terlampau sempit

Masalah mengandungemosi, prasangka, danunsur-unsur yang tidak ilmiah


An Illustration

“Why is productivity in Japan so much higher than in India”?

In this form the question has a number of ambiguities such as:

• What sort of productivity is being referred to?

• With what industries the same is related?

• With what period of time the productivity is being talked about?


An Illustration

Rethinking and discussions about the problem may result in narrowing down the question to:

“What factors were responsible for the higher labour productivity of Japan’s manufacturing industries during the decade 1971 to 1980 relative to India’s manufacturing industries?”


An Illustration

Further rethinking and rephrasing might place the problem on a still better operational basis

“To what extent did labour productivity in 1971 to 1980 in Japan exceed that of India in respect of 15 selected manufacturing industries?

“What factors were responsible for the

productivity differentials between the two countries by industries?”


Contoh Perumusan Masalahdari Skripsi

Bagaimana menentukan setting level optimal dari faktor-faktor yang berpengaruh terhadap kuat tekan, lajukeausan dan serapan air paving block lapisan atas dengan penambahan limbahlumpur IPAL PDAM.


Contoh Perumusan Masalahdari Disertasi( Pertanyaan riset pada paragraf terakhirsub bab latar belakang )

Berdasar kajian literatur di atas, dapat disimpulkan bahwa perlu dilakukan pengembangan gipsum Tasikmalaya sebagai bahan dasar bone graft sintetis yang berfungsi sebagai scaffold.

Beberapa pertanyaan yang muncul berdasarkan kajian literatur di atas yaitu:

1). bagaimana karakteristik kimia, fisis dan sitotoksisitas secara in vitro HAg?,


Contoh Perumusan Masalahdari Disertasi

2). bagaimana proses deposisi serbuk dan sintering digunakan untuk membuat bone graft sintetis yang berfungsi sebagai scaffold (scaffold sintetis)? dan

3). bagaimana karakteristik kimia, porositas, kekuatan tekan dan sitotoksisitas secara in vitro bone graftsintetis yang berfungsi sebagai scaffold (scaffold sintetis)?



Dalam penelitian ini permasalahankhusus adalah sebagai berikut:

• Bagaimana melakukan sintesis gipsum lokal Tasikmalaya menjadi serbuk HAg?

• Bagaimana karakteristik kimia, fisis dan sitotoksisitas secara in vitro serbuk HAg?



• Bagaimana melakukan proses deposisi serbuk dan sintering untuk membuat bone graft sintetis yang berfungsi sebagai scaffold sintetis?

• Bagaimana karakteristik kimia, porositas, kekuatan tekan dan sitotoksisitas secara in vitro bone graftsintetis yang berfungsi sebagai scaffoldsintetis?
