What is a problem? this is a simplest problem, but it is most difficult to answer.
According to Dictionary (Orford, 7th edition) problem is "a thing that is difficult to deal with or to understand".
However, in reality, there are a lot of problems that are not difficult to deal with or not difficult to understand. Therefore, based on the above definition, these problems are not problems. Behind it is that problem has characteristics of relativity.
Further, there are really a lot of problems. For example, in any research project or research paper, one must raise research problems, they are really difficult to deal with or to understand, at least from a perspective of the researchers or authors. Sometimes, the reviewers of the project or papers might not agree with this point. They believe that this is not research problem.
What do you believe? My idea is that there are a lot of problems on problems. We have not understood about these.
If we have a complete understanding of problem. Then we will have a better understanding of problem based teaching and learning, problem solving, and so on.
