Assignment: Developing a Premise and a Research Question
As highlighted in this week’s Discussion, the clear formulation of a research problem and research question(s) is central to all research, because this leads to the identification of relevant and useful variables for measurement.
For this Assignment, you will first develop the problem statement for your Premise, using the topic you selected for your Premise in Week 1, and then you will complete your development of 1 to 2 research questions that will help to address the problem.
By Day 7
Submit a 3-page paper that includes the following:
- A brief review of the topic you chose for your Premise in Week 1 and the broader system or ecosystem of which your topic is a part
- A clear and extended statement of the problem you plan to address in your doctoral study research
- At least one research question that you plan to answer from a secondary data source that you will select next week
- An explanation of why the research question(s) you have chosen will help in understanding and addressing the identified problem
