In the basic terms of quantitative research methodology, a research should have a problem to be observed. The topic also has to be specifically determined. To make it easy in being analyzed, a problem topic is supposed to be operationally stated. Prior to the formulating of the problem, it has to be previously analyzed.
According to Fraenkel and Wallen (1990:20), there are several characteristics of good research problem.
According to Fraenkel and Wallen (1990:20), there are several characteristics of good research problem.
Those are:
· . the problem has a flexibility. The statement of the problem can be easily answered based on the clear problem sources, less fund, energy and time.
· the statement problem has a clarity. People can have the same perception related to the problem.
· the statement problem has a significance. The answer of the problem shown should be able to present a contribution to the development of sciences and problem solving in daily life.
· the statement problem should be ethical. It is in accordance to the moral value or religious beliefs.
Another criterion of good research problem is also explained by Tuctman (1988: 25).
· there is a relation between two variables or more.
· the problem is stated in the form of question or another one but it still contains question.
· statement problem should explain the feasibility of data collection in answering the questions of the research problem
· The statement problem has a solid form.
· Problem research is based on the fact, phenomenon or events with the theory which is not same as the practice
The theory should be relevant to the problem researched
The theory available is newest one which is appropriate to the area of the problem
· The research tries to find the answers or an explanation why the problem happens
· The background of information should be attached to the problem that has been provided. the background of this can be the information from everyone involved or the journal, statistic data and the other sources
· The discussion of the research is aimed at the problem touched and concluded that this research should be done.
· The variable should be defined clearly based on its status. The variable is divided in many types such as (varibel terikat, kontrol, moderator, and intervensi )

To ensure the problem statements is considerable received, here are clearly indicate why your problem is an important one by answering questions such as these:
· Is the problem of current interest? Is it topical?
· Is the problem likely to continue into the future?
· Will more information about the problem have practical application?
· Will more information about the problem have theoretical importance?
· How large is the population affected by the problem?
· How important, influential, or popular is this population?
· Would this study substantially revise or extend existing knowledge?
· Would this study create or improve an instrument of some utility?
· Would research findings lead to some useful change in best practice?
· Is there evidence or authoritative opinion from others to support the need for this research?
