Instructions

A problem statement clarifies, outlines, limits, and brings into existence an expression of the problem you will be researching. It answers the question of whatis being done in the study. In conducting your research, the statement of the problem performs two (2) major functions: (a) to give direction to the study, and (b) to unify all of the efforts undertaken during the conduct of the research. It is a promise to follow a specific course of action. The problem statement:

1. Identifies the dimensions of the problem

2. Defines the research design

3. Determines literature sources and data collection

4. Influences data analysis techniques needed to explain the data

5. Focuses the findings on the purpose of the research

6. Serves as a basis for discussing conclusions and recommendations in the research paper. (Lunenburg & Irby, 2008, pp. 114-115)
