🧠 UNIT II: FORMULATING THE RESEARCH PROBLEM
🌿 1️⃣ Observation and diagnosis of educational realities
🔹 Concept → Observation: systematic recording of facts and school dynamics. → Diagnosis: interpretive analysis of what was observed. → Can be direct, participant, or documentary.
🔹 Characteristics → Planned. → Systematic. → Ethical and free of bias.
🔹 Objectives → Identify real problems within the educational context. → Understand causes, implications, and possible lines of intervention.
🔹 Importance → Lays the groundwork for relevant, ethical, and socially committed research.
🌿 2️⃣ Writing the research problem
🔹 Concept → Argued narrative: what happens, where, who it affects, and why it matters. → Thematic, spatial, and population delimitation. → Clear, direct language, free of value judgments.
🔹 Characteristics → Delimited. → Grounded (data, background, theory). → Ethical and socially committed.
🔹 Objectives → Precisely define the study's focus. → Justify its relevance and feasibility.
🔹 Importance → Serves as the core that guides the entire logic of the study.
🌿 3️⃣ Questions and objectives of pedagogical research
🔹 Concept → Questions: clear, precise, delimited, and answerable. → General objective and specific objectives. → Written with infinitive verbs (identify, analyze, understand...).
🔹 Characteristics → Coherent with the stated problem. → Aligned with the methodological approach (qualitative, quantitative, mixed). → Reviewable throughout the research process.
🔹 Objectives → Guide the study's methodological design. → Keep the focus and avoid deviations.
🔹 Importance → Ensure coherence and direction throughout the research.
🌿 4️⃣ Justification and social relevance of the study
🔹 Concept → Empirical grounding (data, observations, prior studies). → Social relevance: impact on educational quality of life. → Theoretical and methodological relevance: contribution to the pedagogical field.
🔹 Characteristics → Argumentative. → Contextualized. → Ethically committed.
🔹 Objectives → Demonstrate the study's relevance and necessity. → Show its usefulness for educational communities.
