Abstract

The first step of a research exercise is the identification of an educational problem which will form the study title or topic. Overcoming this hurdle is in itself an achievement to many for without the study title or topic, no research can ever take place. An educational problem is the challenge and difficulty that a researcher encounters in their literature search or personal experience and they try to get a solution to it. It is a contemporary challenge in the education sector which the researcher seeks solution to. An educational problem is an imbalance in the education sector. It is also a gap and an unsatisfactory state of affairs in the education sector. In support of the aforementioned definitions of an educational problem, Wambiya (2014) conceptualises an educational problem as an intellectual challenge or a question of interest which can be answered through collection, analysis and interpretation of data. Identifying a problem worth investigating is many a time a hectic task to scholars, students and researchers. Many students easily go for problems that have no much educational significance or problems that have been solved. The reason behind this is lack of commitment on the part of students to explore pertinent literature that would help them stablish problems that are of educational importance at the moment in a particular field of study.
