¶ … generated from the problem statement. Like the problem statement, research questions should be stated clearly, refer to the relationship between two or more variables, and be researchable (Tuckman, 1999). For instance, suppose you are interested in examining predictors of success for doctoral students. As you begin your research, you find that there is a gap in the literature. This is an opportunity for a researchable problem. If there is no research in this area, your research questions might be more exploratory and less defined (e.g., What are the predictors of success for online doctoral students?). If there are a few studies that address predictors of success for online students, your research questions might be more defined, depending on what previous research indicates. If in previous research, the relationship between GRE scores and the success of doctoral students is already established, your research question should focus on another predictor that has not been studied (e.g., What is the...
Also, go to the Walden Library webpage "Dissertations," find two or more Walden dissertations completed in the past year, and read the problem statements. The problem statement is located in Chapter 8 of Tuckman's Conducting Educational Research.
Write at least two research questions, based on the problem statement that will guide your dissertation research.

Walden dissertations: Research problem statements
According to the dissertation authored by Pullman (2007), on "Inner-city students' perceptions about art education: Its role, value, and significance in their lives," there has been increasing debate about the role of arts education within the school system in the wake of the emphasis on standards-based benchmarks an No Child Left Behind (NCLB). This is particularly true of schools deemed to be failing or at risk, many of which are located in the inner cities. This dissertation specifically seeks to explore the attitudes of inner city students themselves in regards to arts education. It is qualitative in nature and attempts to let students speak. The problem statement is thus to discern inner-city students' perceptions of the arts educations they do receive, and how it impacts their larger perceptions of learning. The author found that, despite the fact that students enjoyed art instruction and found art instruction personally empowering and motivating in a way that spilled over into other domains of learning, there was still a push to cut back on such subjects to "make room" for subjects that were directly tested on standardized exams. "The idea that this young artist, or others like him could conceivably be denied the learning context area in which he found joy and success is appalling to me, yet art's marginalization in test-focused schools makes this a reality across the nation, especially in urban districts where test scores are often lowest and emphasis is strictly on core subjects" (Pullman 2007: 232).
The research questions which frame the Pullman study are more general and experiential in nature, namely how arts education motivates students and how it enhances their education in students' lived experiences. The framework is narrative and phenomenological rather than scientific and quantitative in its approach. Research Question 1, "of what value is art education in the perceptions of inner city public school students at the elementary and middle school levels?" stresses this narrative approach. Research Question 2, "How do these students compare the value of their
Kudler Fine Foods: Problem Statement Kudler Fine Foods is a company which provides gourmet style groceries and catering services to the local markets. KFF's primary vision is to be the premiere gourmet grocery store for those savvy shoppers who are searching for the finest meats, produce, cheeses and wine."(University of Phoenix, 2010, p. 3).

Taking No Action - the costs of this approach weight far more than the benefits Costs: immediate improvements are unlikely to occur; most of the hope for future advances lays in the responsibilities and capabilities of the Washington D.C. authorities; the problem might degenerate in the future Benefits: it requires no additional investments and no risks; short-term operational efficiency and productivity will not be affected as a result of organizational changes 3.
As Epstein suggested earlier, there seems to be no downside to this process. James Colliver (2000) would disagree. He dismisses the assertions that favor the efficacy of PBL; his misgivings parallel Hmelo-Smith's earlier remarks. For instance, Colliver contends that the popularity of PBL is predicated on a kind of mass enthusiasm rather than empirically based scientific evidence (p.259). Colliver asserts that PBL has not proven valid and lacks confirmation as successful
STEP 8 - INTERVENTION IMPLEMENTATION PHASING The initial implementation of the automated calling system will require a significant amount of data entry concerning patient contact data; however, this data can be integrated in digital form from existing healthcare information management system as discussed further below. PLANNING MODULE III - DETAILED HIMS PLANNING and COSTING Although the actual acquisition of the automated calling system selected for this initiative will be completed by the hospital's
worldview and adjustments to the individual problem statement. I have been astonished to discover that many more college students have problems with financial literacy than I originally thought existent. I, somehow, thought that college students were savvier with their money and more financially erudite. Changes that I may make to the individual problem statement are to be more specific regarding the schools and colleges surveyed. I would, for instance, be interested
