Throughout your coursework you should be thinking about a general topic or subject that interests you.  As you write papers for various classes, investigate things about your topic/subject of interest.  The research you do for those classroom papers will help you identify a "problem" or question not fully addressed in the literature that you CAN research for your thesis or dissertation.

You may search for the scholarly articles recommendations for the future directions for research?

I think you should consult a professor of your institute. Discuss your problem and take guidance

Thank you Prof. Michael W. Marek & Ben Levin  for sharing your valuable suggestion on this topic.

How to select possible research problem of any a particular topic/ area to start research for the beginner?

Getting the right research problem is the beginning of any research.  Research problem is something interesting worth the effort of research.  Sources of research include academic / industrial networking, brainstorming, ideation / inspiration after attending certain research conferences / colloquiums, rigorous literature review as well as the future research recommendation at the end of each journal article.  The emergence of a research problem can be in the following forms:

Research topics must applicable, actual and feasible. The first step should be a thorough literature review to learn what is done. Then create the materials conditions and made experiments. Finally, analyze the results and report findings if are new.

It depends on the degree of problem complexity. Beginners should address simple problems which do not need much experience to deal with. It is also preferable that the topic is of an applicable aspect and easy to be analyzed.

The first and foremost thing to start on a new research topic is to be interested in some topic. Once you know about your field of interest, you can easily search various research based themes related to that topic from intellectuals or internet and get started for the research with any one of the most interesting theme for you.

One should start by reading a review paper in the related field which gives a detail idea about the current progress of that field including the research gap. One should try to read the latest review paper he/she can find. I have found this path a lot easier than having to review a lot of independent papers from different journals.
