Overview
Your primary task now is to identify an acceptable situation and develop an appropriate investigation/problem statement. Type the heading “Problem Statement, or Investigation Statement” This section should include an explanation of the larger national problem and its impact and also a summary of a similar study that investigated a similar topic and aspect of this study you want to focus on for your inquiry--in other words, relate your situation to theory, or other research. It could be an aspect that you intend to build on, replicate, or an area in need of future studies (must have references of research articles). The problem statement should include one simple, concise sentence that states the interesting, inadequate, or objectionable situation that needs study. Do not include solutions in the statement.
