The background of the problem is information that is arranged systematically with respect to problematic phenomena and problems that are interesting to examine. Problems occur when the ideal expectation for something is not the same as the reality that happens. Not all problems are phenomena and interesting. A phenomenal problem is when it becomes the attention of many people and is discussed in various circles in society.

The background is intended to explain the reasons why the problems in research want to be studied, the importance of the problems and the approaches used to solve these problems both from a theoretical and practical perspective.

The research background contains:

A rational and essential reason that makes researchers interested in conducting research based on facts, data, references and previous research findings. Symptoms of gaps in the field as a rationale for raising problems and how research fills existing gaps in relation to the topic under study. The complexity of the problem if the problem is left alone and will have an impact that is difficult, hindering, disturbing and even threatening.

Approaches to addressing problems from a policy and theoretical perspective. A brief explanation of the position or position of the problem under study within the scope of the research field.

How to create a problem background with the following steps:

At the beginning of the background is an overview of the problem to be raised. With the inverted pyramid model, create an overview of problems ranging from global things to focusing on the core problem, the object and scope to be studied. In the middle section, reveal facts, phenomena, data and expert opinions regarding the importance of the problem and its negative effects if they are not immediately resolved with the support of previous theories and research. The final section is filled with alternative solutions that can be offered (theoretical and practical) and finally the title appears.
