In the process of scientific research, discovering research problems, setting research objectives and raising research questions are all very important steps. However, there are still some misunderstandings and vague understandings about the relationship between research problems, research objectives and research questions, especially the differences and relations between research problems and research questions. This misunderstanding and vague understanding have a negative impact on the improvement of the quality of research. Through the comparison of the meaning of the three and their positions in the research process, it can be found that the research problem determines the research goal, and the research goal determines the research question to a great extent.
