 Background of the Study

Aim and Objective Of the
Study
An aim is “something intended or desired to
be obtained by one’s efforts”. On the other
hand an objective is to do with achieving an
object, it’s about actions, “pertaining to that
whose delineation is known”.
• The aim is the what of the research
(Broad), and the objective is the how.
 Research Questions
A research question is an answerable inquiry
into a specific concern or issue. It is the
initial step in a research project. The 'initial
step' means after you have an idea of what
you want to study, the research question is
the first active step in the research project.
 Scope of study
• To write a scope of study, outline the
limitations of the research, the specific data
used for the research and the theories used to
interpret the data. A scope of study is typically
added to longer essays and research reports,
theses and dissertations. 
 Hyphothesis
• A supposition or proposed explanation made
on the basis of limited evidence as a starting
point for further investigation.
