Q: How do I write a good problem statement for a topic based on the challenges of e-learning?

1 Answer to this question
Answer:

A good problem statement involves expressing your research problem with both a great amount of precision and with the detail that’s necessary. That may sound conflicting, but it’s possible (and necessary) to do so. Toward the end of this response, we will share resources that you can look up to work on an effective problem statement.

For now, what you need to know is that a good problem statement should cover three grounds. It should first talk about the current state regarding the problem (in your case, challenges of e-learning), then about the desired or ideal state, and finally about how your research will aim to provide a remedy or solution to attain the ideal state (in your case, removal or reduction of various e-learning challenges).

You need to write the problem statement in the Introduction of the paper. However, before that, you need to do a detailed literature search – review of existing studies – around the topic. This will help you provide references, defenses, arguments, and validations for your topic, and in some cases, also directions for your topic.

Now, coming to your actual topic, it is presently a bit broad. But that could be because you didn’t want to share the details here. That’s fine. When working on the actual statement, try and make your research as focused as possible. That will also help yield the right and relevant results.

Hope that helps. And here are the resources we promised earlier in the response:

All the best for your study!
