Background

 

This is an informative paragraph that helps the reader understand why you chose this topic. Review the background of the topic and elaborate here. Use language such as, Thefollowing section will discuss the background of the topic.

 

General Problem Statement

 

This paragraph piggybacks on the previous paragraph.  Now that you have discussed the background, tell the reader what the general problem is and why you want to research it. Your general problem is a broad overview of the general problem. Oftentimes, the general problem is viewed at the national level with supporting evidence from governmental websites that provide quantitative statistics. The paragraph must begin with, The general problem is…

 

Specific Problem Statement

 

This paragraph piggybacks on the previous paragraph.  Now that you have discussed the general problem, tell the reader what the specific problem is and why you want to research it. Your specific problem statement usually encompasses a specific population, demography, or geographic location.  Oftentimes, the specific problem is viewed at the local level with supporting evidence that provides quantitative statistics. The paragraph must begin with, The specific problem is…

 

Purpose Statement

 

This paragraph simply tells the reader the purpose of your research. (Example: The purpose of this research is to determine whether a relationship exists between nursing assistant staffing levels and quality of care in skilled nursing facilities). The paragraph must begin with, The purpose of this research is…

 

Research Questions

 

This paragraph provides an overview of the specific research questions you plan to investigate. You are only required to have one research question; however, you may use more if needed. This section is where you unfold your research to the reader. What do you want to uncover? This is where you ask the question(s). Use language such as: The research addressed the following research questions.

 

RQ1: Ask your research question here.

 

RQ2: Ask your research question here.

 

Example:

Discuss the process where you analyzed your data. How did you analyze it? If quantitative, what statistical tool did you use? If qualitative, how did you interpret the information?

 

Findings

Limitations

 

Discuss the limitations of your study. Do not leave this paragraph empty; there are always limitations (e.g. time, funding, scope, etc.).

 

Use and Application of Findings

 

Summarize your findings from your research. (For example: The use and application of these findings may contribute to…by….). There should be at least 3 recommendations (each a separate paragraph).

 

Recommendation: Type here. Thinking outside the box, think of what recommendations you can make to improve the problem you have identified previously. Elaborate why your recommendation is appropriate.
