2. ● It is not enough to state the problem or issue. You also need to provide several reasons that
explain why this issue is important.
● This justification occurs in several paragraphs in an introduction in which you provide evidence to
document the need to study the problem. As shown in Figure, you can justify the importance of:
○ Other researchers and experts as reported in the literature
○ Experiences others have had in the workplace
○ Personal experiences
Justification of the Importance of the Problem

3. Justification in the Literature Based
on Other Researchers and Experts
Research experts have often studied topics for years, and they
understand future research needs that will contribute to knowledge.
(resources everywhere).
● What are you working on at present?
● Is my proposed topic and research problem worthy of study?
● Who else should I contact who has recently studied this topic and
problem?

4. Justification in the Literature Based
on Other Researchers and Experts
Justification—suggestions from other researchers that a problem needs to be
studied and its further research.
For example:
The findings of the study informed a valid and reliable model that
sufficiently explains variance to measure factors affecting SMU (social
media use )-TEFL during the Covid-19 pandemic. Six significant
relationships out of eight hypothetical statements were confirmed and
elaborated. It is recommended that future research be conducted in
order to improve the integration of technology into TEFL courses,
especially in pandemic situations. (Mukminim et al., 2010)

5. Justification Based on Workplace or Personal
Experiences
-Justify your research problem based on evidence
from your workplace or your personal experiences.
-Personal experiences provide justification
especially in those studies with a practical
orientation.

6. To summarize how our present state of
knowledge—both from research and from
practice—is deficient.
A deficiency in the evidence means that the
past literature or practical experiences of the
researchers does not adequately address the
research problem
A deficiency in practice means that educators
have not yet identified good and workable
solutions for schools or other educational
setting
Deficiencies in what
we know
Deficiencies in the research may require a need to:
● extend the research
● replicate a study
● explore a topic
● lift the voices of marginalized people
● add to practice
● Identify two or three reasons why existing
research and practice are deficient in
addressing the research problem
● state these reasons toward the end of the
introduction to the study

7. Example
The vertiginous advance of society in recent years has forced a
modification of demands among citizens and educators. The
arrival of information and communication technologies to the
educational atmosphere has led to the development of the
digital competence of teachers, which is one of the educational
challenges teacher training has to face now ( Garzón et al.,
2020)

8. Audience
● The audience in a “statement of the problem” section needs to be identified.
● These audiences will vary depending on the nature of your study, but several often
considered by educators include researchers, practitioners,policymakers, and individuals
participating in the studies.
By exploring the need for athletic trainers in high schools, school administrators can identify
potential issues that arise when trainers are not present, and coaches can better understand the
circumstances in which trainers are most needed at athletic events.
● As this example illustrates, authors often enumerate multiple audiences. Passages such as
these are typically found in the concluding passage in the introduction or the “statement
of the problem” section and explain the importance of addressing the problem for each
audience.
● When researchers include comments about the importance of the study for audiences,
they also remind themselves about the need to report useful results.
