Don’t worry about identifying your intended research methodology (e.g., “phenomenological”, “quantitative”). Try to explain in 1-3 short paragraphs what you would hope to accomplish if you were to try to attack the problem you previously identified.

After composing your goal or purpose statement, compose 4-6 open-ended research questions. The answers to these research questions should help you achieve your goal. See this week’s materials for examples.

Post your problem statement, goal/purpose statement, and research questions in this week’s discussion forum.
