Formulation of Research Problem" by Dr. Krishna Kishor Trivedi, Assistant Professor in the Department of Law at Janardan Rai Nagar Rajasthan Vidyapeeth

The presentation titled "Formulation of Research Problem" by Dr. Krishna Kishor Trivedi, Assistant Professor in the Department of Law at Janardan Rai Nagar Rajasthan Vidyapeeth, outlines the essential steps and considerations for formulating a research problem within the context of research methodology.

The research process begins with either forming a hypothesis or identifying a research problem. It is important to distinguish between a research topic, which is broader, and a research problem, which is more specific and focused.

To formulate a research problem, one must first identify an area of interest that connects with their subject of study. This could be related to various fields such as women empowerment, society and development, business and technology, Mughal history, medicine and health, education and learning, law and governance, failure of democracy, or road safety. The nature of the problem must then be investigated, considering whether it is analytical, critical, interdisciplinary, professional, doctrinal, technical, non-doctrinal, geographical, commercial, artistic, or historical.

Defining the variable relationships is the next step, acknowledging that variables can change due to data, methods, markets, or time. Following this, research questions should be raised, addressing the effects of the problem on political, economic, or social sectors, the importance of the subject in the current period, the rationale behind selecting this area (hypothesis), the expected results of the research, and potential solutions to the problem.

Objectives are then formulated based on these research questions. They need to be assessed considering the work involved, time available, financial resources, and technical expertise in the area. The research problem must contribute theoretically, empirically, methodologically, or practically.

An example process of formulating a research problem is provided. It starts with a broad hypothesis such as "Indian Economy is poor in comparison with Japan?" and is refined step by step. First, the hypothesis is narrowed down to specific areas like manufacturing industries and then further to car manufacturing industries, eventually focusing on a comparative study between Indian and Japanese car manufacturing industries from 2000 to 2018. This refined research problem leads to the formulation of a specific research objective, such as "A study of Indian Car Manufacturing Industries compared with Japan (A Comparative Study of Economic Growth between 2000 to 2010)."

Dr. K. K. Trivedi emphasizes the importance of a systematic approach to formulating a research problem, ensuring that each step is carefully followed to derive a well-defined and significant research problem. This structured methodology helps in contributing valuable theoretical, empirical, methodological, and practical insights to the chosen field of study.

3. ? Research Topic Its not Research topic It is Research Problem

4. HOW TO FORMULATE RESEARCH PROBLEM Step 1: Identify area of interest . Step 2: Investigate the nature of the problem. Step 3: Define the Variable Relationships . Step 4: Raise research questions Step 5: Formulate and Assess your objectives

5. Hypothesis

6. Interest, Experience and Expertise Relevance, Availability of data, Ethical issues. Step 1: Identify area of interest.

7. Step 1: Identify area of interest. Area of Interest defiantly connect to your subject But What is my Interest ? Sometime it is difficult to prefer a subject Sometime it is not difficult to prefer a subject Women empowerment Society and development Business and technology Mughal history Tulsi Das Medicine and health Education and learning Law and Governance Failure of Democracy Road safety

8. Step 2: Investigate the Nature of the Problem . I select Following Problem Any of your Problem Analytical Critical Interdisciplinary Professional Doctrinal Technical Non Doctrinal Geographical Commercial Artistic Comparative Historical

9. Step 3: Define the Variable Relationships . Any of Problem Data Changed Method Change Market Changed Year Changed

10. Step 4: Raise research questions Observe following questions:- 1 - What is the effect of problem over Political, Economic or Social Sectors? 2- Why your subject is Important for current period ? 3- Why you select this area (Hypothesis)? 4- What will be result of your research? 5- How this problem will solve?

11. Your objectives grow out of your research questions. The main difference between objectives and research questions is the way in which they are written. Research questions are obviously that—questions. Step 5: Formulate and Assess your objectives

12. Assess your objectives in the light of: 1- work involved 2- time available to you 3- financial resources available 4- your technical expertise in the area

13. Contribution of your Problem Theoretical contributions. Empirical contributions. Methodological contributions. Practical contributions.

14. Example Step 1 Start with your Hypothesis Indian Economy is poor in comparison with Japan ?

15. Step 2 Indian Economy is poor in comparison with Japan ? Indian Economy is poor in Manufacturing Industries in comparison with Japan

16. Step 3 Indian Economy is poor in comparison with Japan ? Indian Economy is poor in Manufacturing Industries in comparison with Japan. Indian Economy is poor in Car Manufacturing Industries in comparison with japan .

17. Step 4 Indian Economy is poor in comparison with Japan ? Indian Economy is poor in Manufacturing Industries in comparison with Japan. Indian Economy is poor in Car Manufacturing Industries in comparison with Japan. Indian Economy is poor in Car Manufacturing Industries in Comparison with Japan

18. Step 5 Indian Economy is poor in comparison with Japan ? Indian Economy is poor in Manufacturing Industries in comparison with Japan. Indian Economy is poor in Car Manufacturing Industries in comparison with Japan. Indian Economy is poor in Car Manufacturing Industries in Comparison with Japan Indian Economy is poor in Car Manufacturing Industries in Comparison with Japan in year 2000 to 2018

19. Step 6 Indian Economy is poor in Car Manufacturing Industries in Comparison with Japan in year 2000 to 2010 “A study of Indian Car Manufacturing Industries with Japan (An Comparative Study of Economic growth between year 2000 to 2010)
