we looked at the "problem formation: selection of a research problem". From here you reviewed the major topics

and concepts related to selecting a research problem. These include identifying gaps in existing research, considering feasibility and resources, exploring personal interests and motivation, and considering the relevance and significance of the problem.

You also learned about different methods and strategies for problem formulation, such as brainstorming, literature review, and stakeholder consultation. Additionally, you discussed the importance of clearly defining and refining the research problem to ensure that it is focused and manageable.

Furthermore, you examined the role of research questions in problem formulation and the need to create research questions that are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART). This helps in guiding your research process and providing a clear direction for your study.

Overall, the process of problem formation involves a comprehensive analysis of various factors and considerations to identify a research problem that is meaningful, feasible, and aligned with your research goals and objectives.
