Assignment #1: (PPQH₀ & S) aka-Problem, Purpose, Questions, Hypotheses,
Significance

The foundation of proposing a research proposal depends upon clarity in thinking and
specific, focused writing. Please identify and describe your research problem, the
purpose of your study and your over-arching research question along with its
corresponding hypothesis. You will also need to describe the significance of the study
you are proposing. This means, you need to compose a sentence or two describing why
this type of research would be interesting, necessary, and important. Careful
consideration should be paid to how the problem is identified, the context of the problem,
and its rationale. Make sure the research problem is significantly narrow in focus but
yields opportunities for further analysis. Follow the format included in the appendix
section of this syllabus and outlined in your textbook.
