- Explain the context and relevance of the problem.
Purpose Statement:
- Articulate the study’s goals, including the methodology (qualitative or quantitative) and research design.
- Ensure it aligns with the problem statement.
Research Questions and Hypotheses:
- For Qualitative Studies: Develop 2 open-ended, exploratory research questions.
- For Quantitative Studies: Develop at least 1 measurable research question with at least one set of hypotheses (null and alternatives).
Theoretical or Conceptual Framework:
- Identify the theoretical or conceptual framework guiding your study.
- Explain how this framework aligns with your problem, purpose, and research design.
Significance of the Study:
- Explain why your study is essential.
- Describe the implications of your research for the SPL and degree program.
Reflection Slide:
- Discuss the challenges you encountered in ensuring alignment among the problem, purpose, research questions, and framework.
- Reflect on how feedback and self-assessment shaped your approach.
