• Goal is directed by objectives of the study
• Objectives of the research is nothing but the sub-title
of the research title
• By realising objectives one by one, researcher
achieve the main goal of research
• Title is main question and objectives are sub
questions

person to person, time to time and place to place

 Points to be kept in mind while writing
objectives of research

• Must be based on and directly related to the

research problem
• Research problem must be defined properly and in
simple language
• There should be surety of getting data in context of
each objective
• Analysis of the data must be possible
• Objectives can be realised in specific time period
• It should be helpful in realising the ultimate goal of
research
• Number of objectives should not be less that that
make scope of research very limited and no of
objectives should not be very large that will make the
research process more complex
• All the variables of research must be reflected in
objectives
• Objectives should lead the research process in right
direction
 Importance of the objectives

• Give direction to research activities

• They divide research question in sub questions. So
researcher can concentrate properly to answer each
question by following proper steps
• Enable researcher to plan research activities
minutely and precisely
• It clarify the variables of the study
• Guide for research tool
• Help in defining population of the study
• Give idea to select proper technique for data analysis
• Help in formulating hypothesis
• Help researcher to enlarge the scope of research
according to his ability, need and facilities available
to him
