The Problems and Problem Delineation Techniques. Occasional Paper No. 1 [electronic resource] / William J. Gephart.
The issue of problem awareness and problem definition is discussed in this occasional paper. It is proposed that a problem can be defined as one of four instances of indeterminancy: anomaly, unverified fact, uncharted area, or conflicting evidence; further, for each of these categories, three levels...

| 520 | |a The issue of problem awareness and problem definition is discussed in this occasional paper. It is proposed that a problem can be defined as one of four instances of indeterminancy: anomaly, unverified fact, uncharted area, or conflicting evidence; further, for each of these categories, three levels of problems are seen to exist: (1) what variables are involved; (2) what is their nature; and (3) what are their cause/effect relationships. Three techniques are explained for delineating problems: the integrative theonomy, facet analysis and design, and componential analysis. It is suggested that these delineation techniques have two applications in the training of researchers: (1) as content, which might be taught to the researcher-to-be, and (2) as tools to examine the area of research instruction.
