4. D. Setting Objectives of the Research
Identify what you want to address
The causes
The effects
Or both

5. Expected problem improvement
Set objectives
Expected problem improvement
SMART
Specific
M – measurable
A- achievable
R- reliable /realistic
T – time bound

6. Problem and solution Problem need to be solved Objective completely
partially - 25% , 50 % …….
Objective
is the quantified level improvement expected of the problem situation

7. Revert back to your phenomena
What do you want to find out
Causes or effects of the problem ?
This depends on the your purpose of your the research
You do cause or effects or both
Always remember sandwich Vs, Hamburger
Write down objectives
General and specific

8. Objectives General Main problem
To identify the causes of the overcrowding of the hospital
To identify the causes for nurse turnover
This becomes to topic for the research
Specific
Contribution to the problem or effects of the problem
To identify the Human resource factors causing over crowding
To identify effects of the overcrowding
To identify the work pressure on nurse turnover

9. General objective Main problem
Summarize things given in the problem statement
Why really you want to do this
Use SMART
This is the basis for the topic for the research
Make the topic concise and interesting

10. Specific objectives Categories of causes Categories of effects
Qualify and quantify
SMART

11. Identify what you want to address The causes The effects Or both
4. Research questions
Identify what you want to address
The causes
The effects
Or both

12. Research Questions
Relatively narrow specific delineations of what the proposed research will address
Questions emerge from the researcher's topic of interest plus information gathered during the literature review.

13. ACTIVITY 03
