Abstract

ARIAS-CASTRILLON, Juan Camilo. Raise and formulate a research problem: an exercise of reasoning. Rev. Lasallista Investig. [online]. 2020, vol.17, n.1, pp.301-313.  Epub Feb 02, 2021. ISSN 1794-4449.  https://doi.org/10.22507/rli.v17n1a4.

Introduction.

Raising a research problem requires clarifying the difference between real problem, problem, problematization and research problem. At the same time, it requires thinking of the researcher as the source of the problem and of reasoning, considering the three types of reasoning: deductive, inductive and abductive. It proposes four criteria to build a research problem: 1. Description of the phenomenon 2. Description of the imbalance 3. Description of the time space 4. Description of the research subjects. Finally, the difference between the paradigms in the construction of research problems is considered.

Keywords : Problematization process; problem of knowledge; research problem; deductive reasoning; inductive reasoning.
