 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM.
A well-defined problem is partially solved or
in any case, he has many chances of obtaining a
satisfactory solution.

The term approach comes from the word to pose.

what it means to focus on solving the problem and at the same time
to focus means to discover and understand the points
essentials of a problem to address them accurately,
that is to say, the formulation of the research problem
it includes a set of essential points or elements
that allow to methodologically guide its solution.
(Carrasco 2005 p. 91)
 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM.
The drafting of the problem statement involves making a
X-ray of how the problem presents itself, the same that must
start by describing the problematic situation found in the
world context, Latin American, national until reaching the context

At a local or institutional level, the reality of where it arises is addressed.

diagnosis of the situation. It is the general presentation of reality and
the void or need that is sought to be resolved, hence the problem arises

preliminary diagnostic study (observation, surveys, interviews, etc.) or
of a SWOT diagnosis (analysis of strengths, opportunities,
weaknesses or threats), etc.

FORMULATION OF

 FORMULATION OF THE PROBLEM.
It is the statement of the problem in concrete terms and
explicit. It answers the question 'what do I want to solve?'. It is
it is convenient to present it in the form of a question and is characterized by
to be clear, concrete, and include study variables.

A research problem is formulated when the researcher

dictate or make a kind of forecast about the situation
problem. Instead of making it a statement, this forecast
it is proposed through the formulation of directed questions to
responding to the research problem (Mendez 1995)
quoted by Carrasco 2005 p. 89

The problem must express a relationship between two or more

concepts or variables and it must be formulated as a question,
clearly and unambiguously; for example, what effect...? What in
What conditions...? What is the probability of ...? How does it
relates...to...? To what extent...? (Kelinger and Lee 2002 p.54)

JUSTIFICATION IN A WORK OF
EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH?
 JUSTIFICATION.
Hernández, Fernández, and Baptista (2010) state that "the
Justification indicates the reason for the research,
exposing their reasons. Through justification
we must demonstrate that the study is necessary and
important.” (P. 39)

Specifically, it is the why? And the for what? is done

the research. That is to say, it is necessary to explain why it is
it is convenient to conduct the study and what are the
benefits that come with this research. The
the study is justified by its contribution to one of the
following aspects: theoretical, scientific, technological,
methodological, epistemological, social, practical, etc.

 BACKGROUND.
Carrasco (2005) states that: “the backgrounds are
the relationship or the set of all conclusions obtained by
other researchers, or by the same researcher in times
past regarding the problem being investigated or in works
of very similar or related investigations” (p. 123).

OBJECTIVES OF A WORK OF
EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH?
 THE OBJECTIVES

The objective of scientific research is aspiration,

purpose, for what the research is developed that presupposes
the transformed object, the problematic situation overcome.
From this, it follows that above all, research is conducted to solve the
problem, to transform the object.
The objective is one of the main drivers of the process of
scientific research, so in order to fulfill its function it must
observe the following qualities.
