Discussion Board
Explanation

Identification or definition of the problem is the first step in the research process. Selection of area is a must for identifying the problem. A researcher should have a complete knowledge about the facts. He can select a broader topic initially and can narrow it down later on. A researcher should always take the advantage of the knowledge which he has accumulated in the past. The topic selected should be in a readable format and should eliminate all the irrelevant factors. Statement of the problem is an important concept in problem definition as it focus on a clear idea or goal. It also involves certain questions which may arise while taking up a scientific study. The findings of the researcher should be the basis for theory and formation of principles.
