Abstract

A problem in research, as well as human body, calls for perfect diagnosis of illness. This is important to avoid treating the symptoms instead of the actual disease. A research problem could be identified through professional or/and academic efforts. This poses a lot of problems to students, both at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels, as this determines the title of their articles or research works. Many of them have to submit many topics to their supervisors before one could be reframed and approved. At times, students appealed to their supervisors to provide them with researchable topics. This to the supervisor(s) almost writing the dissertations/theses for them. The argument of this paper is to let students understand “problem identification” using an analogy from the Holy Bible. The study employed a conversation analysis methodology, which is empirically grounded, exploratory in-process and inferential. This involves using every conversation between two or more parties to explore facts/lesson. It was recommended that seasoned lecturers should explain to students how to identify research problems using what are familiar to them to make them understand this important aspect of research

运用类比理解研究中的问题识别
研究中的一个问题,以及人体的问题,都需要完美的疾病诊断。这对于避免治标不治本很重要。研究问题可以通过专业或/和学术努力来确定。这给本科生和研究生的学生带来了很多问题,因为这决定了他们的文章或研究作品的标题。他们中的许多人必须向他们的主管提交许多主题,然后才能重新构思和批准。有时,学生们请求他们的导师为他们提供可研究的课题。这对导师来说几乎是为他们写学位论文。本文的论点是让学生用圣经中的类比来理解“问题识别”。本研究采用了基于经验、过程探索和推理的对话分析方法。这包括利用双方或多方之间的每一次对话来探索事实/教训。建议经验丰富的讲师向学生解释如何使用他们熟悉的东西来识别研究问题,使他们理解研究的这一重要方面
