Why Should Research Objectives Be Developed?
Focus the study (narrowing it down to essentials)
Organise the study in clearly defined parts or phases
Avoid the collection of data which are not strictly necessary for understanding and solving the problem you have identified
Types of Research Objectives
General Objectives
They are broad statements of desired outcomes, which paint the picture of your research proposal
They emphasise what is to be accomplished, not how it is to be accomplished
They address the long-term project outcomes
Do not need to be numbered
Specific Objectives
They are the steps you are going to take to answer your research questions or a specific list of tasks needed to accomplish the goals of the project
They emphasise how aims are to be accomplished
They must be highly focused and feasible
They address the more immediate project outcomes
