The intention, the interest, condition the way processes, objects are appreciated.
and phenomena and the adaptation to the personal perspective. In each case it has a
different meaning depending on who appreciates it. For example, the medical assessment of a
unknown patient and from another relative, the demands imposed on an article
What we intend to buy and the exaltation of its qualities if we want to sell it.
As premises of the problem, it can be assumed that:
It has an objective character.
It has a subjective character.
It constitutes a gnoseological necessity.
Definition
According to the definitions compiled by Sanetti, a scientific problem is:
... a problem that is knowledge about not knowing (Sharikov).
... it is an interrogative proposition that formulates the corresponding task
cognitive (Tsatskovki).
... prior knowledge about the unknown in science (Burguete).
According to the Philosophical Encyclopedic Dictionary of the Academy of Sciences of the
USSR, it is a question or set of questions that arose objectively in the course
of the development of the knowledge process, whose solution has practical interest or
theoretical. The entire process of human knowledge development can be represented
as a transition from the posing of problems to their solution and subsequent
proposal of other new ones.
As a questioning arises in the cognitive plane of the researcher based on
an objective problematic situation. Its response is not found in the sum of the
existing scientific knowledge and requires a systematic effort and

Formulation
A scientific problem can be posed in the form of a question or through the
description of the phenomenon. The problem must be written in such a way that it presents the
contradiction. In the case of the question, if the contradiction does not appear, it must
this is stated in the justification.
Sanetti5 considers that a problem must be stated clearly and precisely, without
ambiguity. The possibility of verification through a test must be glimpsed
empirical.
In a descriptive or admonitory manner:
Describe the characteristics and behavior of a disease
determined for a specific population sector.
There is a high number of cases of pre-hepatic portal hypertension with
unfavorable results in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of these
patients.
In an interrogative manner:
What are the characteristics and behavior of a certain
disease in a specific population sector?
Insufficient knowledge of necrosis in tumor destruction afterwards
of applying a cytostatic. What is the mechanism of tumor destruction? What is it?
Is the participation of the immune system in the inflammatory response?
If the question does not cover the entire problem, it is clarified in the background.
Next, we will present an example of a problem that, even though it is not
scientific, shows the consequences that can result from an incorrect formulation.
The tenants of a building are complaining about the slowness of the service provided by the
elevators. So:
Architects appreciate little capacity, insufficient elevators. Need for
make a million-dollar investment.
Psychologists determine that the service being offered is almost similar to that of
analogous buildings, but the lobby is small, warm, and uninviting, which
It makes the wait overwhelming. Need to furnish the lobby.
A therapy teacher, concerned about the difficulties that arise in the
learning of their students, initially defines as a scientific problem the
next (Chacón Ronda A. Pedagogical actions to strengthen the process of
social inclusion of girls and boys with Down syndrome. Observations no
published, 2007)
There is no specific method for teaching reading and writing of the
children with Down syndrome (DS).
During the literature review process, it is noticed that these children suffer from
myopia and astigmatism, strabismus, nystagmus, cataracts, and progressive deformation of
the cornea. Between 73 and 78% of children with Down syndrome suffer from unilateral or
bilateral in acute or chronic forms. Hearing is at risk in the
three levels of the auditory organ: external, middle, and inner.
In the child with DS, there is a well-documented growth delay that begins in the
prenatal life and continues until the end of the growth years. In order to have a
Good brain function requires proper thyroid function.
Today it is known that the majority of people with DS have disorders of this.
glándula.15-17 Con todos estos elementos, queda claro que inicialmente el problema
consists of:
Define the magnitude and content of the medical diagnosis (early) that must be
to assess these children to determine their limitations and potentialities for
the learning... and later with this information, individually,
address the problem from a pedagogical perspective.
Final considerations
The subjective nature of the process of defining the scientific problem complicates its
correct approach; however, this step is fundamental and decisive for
the rest of the research. Objectivity consists of not assuming what is desired as
truth, not to overlook unfavorable results, but to be able to appreciate the
reality as it is and not the way we aspire. Creative thinking, according to the
Nobel Prize in MedicineSent Gyorgyi consists of '... seeing what everyone sees and
think what nobody thinks.
