What are research objectives?
The objectives of a research
project summarize what is to beachieved by the study. These
objectives should be closely
related to the research problem.

Research Objectives and Hypothesis
Identifying Research Objectives:
Task 1: Brainstorming
Task 2: Identifying research objectives
a. What is this research work for?
b. What am I supposed to do during my
research work?
c. What am I supposed to achieve?

Task 3: General and specific actions
Identifying Research Objectives:
For example:
- Specific action = Make questionnaires / Processtest results
- General action =Distinguish significant variables
- and give feedback to the field of practice
Suggestion:Use the verbs in the infinitive

Task 4: Formulating general and specific
research objectives.
Identifying Research Objectives:
Formulate the general and specific objectives
taking into account the actions to be performed
and using the most suitable verbs to state specific
actions: e.g. to identify, to describe, to analyze, to
demonstrate, etc.

Additional task:
To make sure your research objectivesare clear enough, you can ask someone who
doesnt know a thing about your research
topic, to read the aims you have formulated.
By this task you can verify the clearness ofyour formulation.

Introduction:
Often, one of the trickiest
parts of designing and writing up

Hypothesis defined:
Hypotheses are testable explanations of a
problem, phenomenon, or observation.
A hypothesis (plural hypotheses) is a
proposed explanation for a phenomenon.
A hypothesis is an explanation for
something that has been observed.
- a good hypothesis must be based on a
good research question at the start of a trial
and, indeed, drive data collection for the
study.

Research Objectives and Hypothesis
1. Alternative - this is the hypothesis that is
affirmative, positive, and approving. Thisgives a positive possible result of the
experiment.
2. Null - this is a negative hypothesis aboutthe experiment.
The 3 kinds of hypothesis:

3. Cause and Effect - this kind of hypothesis
gives a cause and effect hypothesis. This has
the "if & then" clause...... (Example: "ifsunlight affects the growth of plants, then it
might slow down or fasten the plant's
growth.")
