Scientific research is characterized by following highly important steps that ensure its
preparation in a sound and effective manner. Among the most prominent of these steps are the
construction of a strong methodological and epistemological problem statement and the
formulation of appropriate research hypotheses. There is a close correlation between the
problem statement and the hypothesis, as each has scientific components. If either is lacking, the
scientific value of the research diminishes. The problem statement addresses a certain defect or
ambiguity regarding a particular topic that needs to be answered. The formulation of hypotheses
is one of the essential stages, representing initial or expected answers to the posed problem.
Through research, the validity of the hypotheses is tested to either confirm or refute them. This
research paper aims to encompass the essential components and foundations on which scientific
research is built, as the results reached by the researcher reflect the accuracy of the problem
statement construction and the proper selection of hypotheses.
