Writing a Purpose Statement
Based on the Problem Statement written before, along with the professor’s comments, write a Purpose Statement. Also, complete 3 annotated bibliographies.
Purpose of the Study:
The purpose statement should be one concise paragraph that describes the intent of the study and it should flow directly from the problem statement. Specifically address the reason for conducting the study and reflect the research questions. Begin the purpose statement with a succinct sentence that indicates the study method and overarching goal.
[Text…“The purpose of this [quantitative, qualitative, mixed method] study is to… (describe the study goal that directly reflects and encompasses the research questions).” Follow with a brief, but clear overview of how, with what instruments/data, with whom and where (as applicable).]
Within the Purpose Statement:
• The research method is identified as qualitative, quantitative, or mixed method.
• The stated purpose reflects the research questions: variables/constructs and/or phenomenon/concept/idea are identified (See the Research Degree Guidebook for additional information).
• The research design is clearly stated and is aligned with the problem statement.
• The participants and/or data sources are identified (See the Research Degree Guidebook for additional information).
• The geographic location of study is identified (as appropriate).
Before moving forward, ensure that the purpose is a logical, explicit research response to the stated problem. The purpose, research questions, and design must reflect a Ph.D. study goal, which includes theoretical implications and generalizability/transferability. The study results in response to the purpose, research questions and research design must be generalizable or transferable and have theoretical implications relevant beyond any particular study site.
