Q: Can you help me with the statement of the problem (SOP) for my research?
I don’t know how to start the statement of the problem. The title of my research is ‘Practical research as a subject for grade 9 students.’ I hope you can help me.
The statement of the problem expresses the research problem in very specific terms. It talks about the ideal state of the given situation, the present state, and how your research will aim to bridge the two states. You need to discuss the statement of the problem in the introduction of the paper.
