4. Objectives At the end, the reader should be: To describe what is an idea To dissect an idea To propound the problem To identify the elements of a research

5. Origin of research “ It is more important to science, namely to formulate problems, to find solutions ” Albert Einstein Idea This is the first approach to reality to be investigated. An investigation begins when the researcher questions the facts observed.

6. Ideas First, they are vague and they requires transformed in more precise and structured so requires knowledge of the subject: 1. To read previous studies. 2. To check references. 3. To consult experts (face to face or by internet).

7. Sources of research topics Experience (practice) Theory Literature External sources (priority issues)

8. Theme features It must be: Original Novel Interesting Useful and relevant

9. Background information 1. Do not duplicate efforts. 2. More formally structured work. 3. To define the perspective of approach

10. Delimitation of the problem To write the ideas To describe the problem area To mention the importance and priority that will solve the problem for the subject of study To review the literature to develop a broad conceptual context

11. Criteria for propound a problem Express a relationship between two or more variables. Identify the phenomenon under investigation. Propound it as a question The approach must involve the possibility of an empirical test.
