The problem statement tells the reader what the research intends to address. The significance of the study tells the reader how the research will various stakeholders in the topic. The significance of the study places it in the bigger context.
Interesting question, as many have the impression that both are same. However, both are two separate concepts with an entirely different meaning. The primary difference between the two is that Research methods is the method using which you carry on your research with regards to a particular topic whereas Research methodology is a logical explanation of these methods. Research methods may include using experiments, surveys and tests used to conduct research. On the other hand, Research methodology includes critical study of different techniques using which a research can be conducted. In short, research method is about solving a given problem whereas research methodology deals with finding solutions to solve a particular problem.
Identify the research problem, make a theoretical background for the research, selection of research design, data collection, data analysis, findings and conclusion, report writing
Method is a particular way of solving a specific problem. it is therefore unlikely that your research will just have 'a method' as the whole research will probably draw on different ways (methods) of proving/solving discrete aspects of the research. Methodology, therefore, means the collection of methods you used in a particular piece of research. However, N.B.! The term methodology is confusing, because it can often be used to refer to the underlying 'methodology' (or ideology/principles/set of beliefs) which led you to opt for one set of methods rather than another. E.g. if you believe that number crunching does not come up with worthwhile results, you will go for indepths interviews etc. that is part of your 'methodology' and it's based on your assumptions/mindset
the thesis statement isnt bad but it is always best to have a because in your statement. It focuses your answer more.

Perhaps the difference lies in the distinct meaning or the words in question. For the problem statement, state the problem. For the mission statement, state your mission, or how you will address the problem.
they both use questions when a researcher attempts to answer when she/he undertaking a research.
A problem statement states a problem with the object or product while a desgin statement is meant to ensure the designer and customer/client understand each other.
For research methodology, a problem statement is a clear description of the issue for a particular topic. It can include a vision and a method used to solve the problem.
The difference between management problems and research problems are in the way the affect the overall project. Research generally affects long term results while management problems can dramatically affect all aspects.

it is a nagging question which the research attempts to answer when he/she is undertaking a research investigation
In research, a problem is identified and a solution is sought. Whereas in problem solving, the problem itself is the focus of attention and the goal is to find a way to solve it. One key distinction between these two approaches is that research assumes there is a solution to be found, while problem solving does not assume this. In fact, there may not be a good or workable solution to a given problem. Therefore, the key difference between research and problem solving lies in their respective orientations: Problem solving starts with the recognition of a difficulty or obstacle that needs to be overcome; whereas research starts with an idea or question that needs to be explored.
A problem statement is often defined, in the experimental procedure, as the problem that one tries to solve with the experiment. You must come up with a problem statement first, which is usually in the format of a question, and then design an experiment with which to go about solving your problem and to test your hypotheses, if you had any. It also has to do with science
The are slight differences between research and problem solving. Both entail investigations to establish facts. But problem solving requires facts that amount to solutions while research may be just findings.
Suck it B***h.. i don't know the answer.. of course i'll ask you.. not you ask me.. T.T
