Begin by locating several peer-reviewed
articles from the past 5 years that support the problem you wish to address
in your dissertation. These articles may be ones previously gathered for your
annotated bibliography assignment or additional resources you select after
receiving feedback on your topic from your course mentor. For this assignment, create a problem
statement. Your problem must come from a critical issue that must be
addressed, otherwise negative consequences will occur or continue. In
most cases, scholarly citations within the past 5 years are required to
support the problem you will investigate. Articulate a concise problem statement.
Include appropriate published or relevant primary sources to document the
existence of a problem worthy of doctoral level research. Follow these
steps: 1. Present
the general issue grounded in the research literature that leads to the need
for the study. 2. Identify
the specific problem you wish to address. The documented problem may be a
practical problem or issue in the profession or study context without an
acceptable solution. 3. In
defining the problem, a clear discrepancy must be drawn between what exists
currently and what is desired. Although an applied study design does
not necessarily require generalizability beyond the study site, worthy
problems must be relevant and documented beyond any particular study site. 4. To
identify and articulate a problem, consider the potential negative
consequences to the field or stakeholders if the proposed research is never
conducted. Support your assignment with at least
five scholarly resources. In addition to these specified resources,
other appropriate scholarly resources, including older articles, may be
included. |
