A research problem is a specific issue or gap in knowledge that a researcher aims to address in their study. It can be a practical problem that needs a solution or a theoretical problem that seeks to expand knowledge in a particular field.

Here are some ways to identify a research problem:

• Consider your area of interest and what you find fascinating about it.
• Look for gaps in existing knowledge by reading research papers and articles on your topic.
• Identify inconsistencies or contradictions in current theories.
• Look for real-world challenges that need to be addressed.

Once you’ve identified a potential research problem, you need to refine it to make sure it’s specific, feasible, and significant.
