Summary Chapter 3 RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Raising a quantitative research problem requires that a topic be defined in advance and with this
procedure DELIMIT the problem to be investigated.
The approach and its elements are very important because they provide the guidelines and
fundamental components that will guide the research process; They are also key to understanding
the results.
There are criteria that help us in preparing the problem statement since there must be a
relationship between two or more concepts and variables, it must be formulated as a question, it
must not be ambiguous and as clear as possible, likewise the approach must consider the
possibility of carrying out an empirical test to be verified since the quantitative approach works
with observable and measurable aspects of reality.
Research objectives: they indicate the purposes to which the research aspires and these must be
present throughout the entire process, they must be clear and formulated with infinitive verbs.
Research questions: guide towards the answers sought in the research, summarizing what will be
done, considering the spatial and temporal limits and defining the profile of the research units.
They must be delimited and clarify the problem area, as well as suggest research activities that
suggest responding to the problem with empirical evidence, allow the use of ethical means and
that their contribution is substantial knowledge for said research.
Justification of the research: It is the presentation of the reasons for the research, for this it is
important that it answers the questions: Why? and because? from the study
Through the justification we demonstrate the importance of the study and its implementation is
important.
Evaluation of deficiencies in the knowledge of the problem: it allows us to define where the
research is located, what field of knowledge it covers, delimits where our research is located,
what new perspectives we could contribute.
Consequences of the research: with the positive or negative repercussions that the study implies
in the ethical and aesthetic spheres of a community
It is possible to rely on this flow diagram of ideas to have a greater overview of what is going to be
done when formulating a problem statement.
