You’re working on your thesis. You’ve got a topic, maybe even a research question in mind.It sounds okay, it makes sense, but if you’re being honest with yourself, it could have come straight from an outdated ChatGPT model.

And it has almost nothing to do with actually problematizing a research gap.
So it’s fair to ask: how is this supposed to get you a top grade?

In this video, we’re going to look at how you can use the method of problematization to develop a research gap that is not just real but also important.

One that does more than simply add something small to the existing literature and instead changes the way we think about the topic.

Instead of asking, “What has not been studied yet?” problematization asks, “What assumptions are built into the existing research, and are those assumptions actually valid?”

It is about looking beyond the surface and asking what the research community might be taking for granted. You do not just rely on existing criticism, you create your own. You look for blind spots and for things that seem so obvious no one even questions them. Then you say, “Hang on a second…”

Problematization is not about destroying a theory or tearing down other people’s work. It is about taking the conversation further. It is a creative process that can lead to a deeper and more original contribution.
