-The research problem of a study sets the

stage for everything else and it accompanied
by the background of the problem and
rationale or justification for studying it.
Research problems usually are identified
from several sources: a-the research
literature, b-problems in practice work or
work related context, c-personal biography
or history.
The problem should
 be related to improving one’s own
practice.
 Enable explanations and hypotheses
to be developed.
 Be within the action researcher’s
own power control to change
 Be professionally and personally
important.
Things to consider when identifying the
topic:
 Make sure your topic meets the
assignment requirements.
 Choose a topic that is interesting to
you.
 Consider the scope of your topic.
-Hypothesis: is a prediction, a statement of

what specific results or outcomes are
expected to occur.

and also illustrate the Five “Ws” before
conducting the research.
Step 5
Closing
As an assignment, the students are asked to
write about pedagogical problem they faced,
topic and assumption or hypothesis. They
are asked to answer the following questions

When you are thinking about your research,

P;11)
 What is my research?
