How to write review of the purpose and objectives?


The purpose of the Fifth Chapter is to review the project, discuss the implications, and form conclusions derived from the analysis. In general, the fifth chapter of the project is usually 10 to 15 pages in length. 

In terms of the structure of the chapter, it is divided into three major sections. The first section, typically 3 to 5 pages, should review the purpose, objectives, literature, and methods. The second section should present the analysis of each hypothesis and draw conclusions about the hypothesis. The analysis of the hypotheses is usually 4 to 5 pages in length. The final section of the fifth chapter is concerned with the discussion of the data and implications. This section is typically 4 to 10 pages in length.

In a sense, the Fifth Chapter of the project contains, in abbreviated form, an overview of the entire project. If the chapter is written carefully then it should provide an elaborate abstract of the project. 

Review of the Purpose and Objectives 

The goal of this section of the project is to review for the reader the purpose and objectives of the research. This should be an easy task since your First Chapter contains the statement of the purpose and objectives. In essence, all you need to do in this section is rewrite the purpose and objectives. If your objectives were extensive in chapter one then they should be condensed in this chapter. As a rule, I recommend that this section of the Fifth Chapter be limited to one page. 

Review of the literature 

The review of the literature section of the Fifth Chapter is generally a one to two is a page summary of the literature that was critiqued in chapter two. If you wrote a summary of chapter two, then your task is simple. Will you need to do is rewrite the summary and insert it in this section. 

When you rewrite your review section, you should avoid mentioning another researcher. You should summarize the literature in your own words, your task is to present your own analysis of the related research. Using quotes in this section of the project is usually frowned upon and discouraged. 

What separates the “better projects” from the average ones is a theme that is presented in this section. There should be a concerted effort to support your research by demonstrating a need for the study and a deficit that exists in the present literature.

How to evaluate the project?

Evaluating the Project  The project should be evaluated at two levels. The first of these levels is the text and the logic of the presentation. The second level of evaluation should focus on the student’s mastery of the material. There are certain minimum requirements that the project or thesis must meet before it should be considered for acceptance. These minimal requirements deal with the manner of presentation of the project problem, its parameters, and analysis. To facilitate the examination of a project, I’ve provided a comprehensive checklist and inventory of the minimal requirements. For example: Is the topic area of the study clearly specified early in the text (within the first two pages)?  Is the topic area of the project derived from or cast into its historical perspective?  Are the major independent and dependent variables logically derived and their importance clearly evident?  Is the specific problem that the...

What is the research methodology?

Methodology  The research Methodology section, while not the easiest to formulate, is probably the easiest to write. The methodology must be described in total, complete, absolute detail so that another researcher could replicate the study exactly based on the information contained in this chapter.  This chapter should begin with a description of the General Nature and Design of the Study. The type of research should be identified, e.g., experimental, quasi-experimental, exploratory, qualitative, developmental, survey, etc. If the type of research calls for the use of independent and dependent variables, they should be identified The Selection of Participants should describe exactly how subjects were obtained and assigned to groups (if the design calls for groups). The Procedures are reported. Copies of any written materials or any verbal instructions gave the subjects should be included in the Appendixes. If the Research Setting is significant, it is also repor...

How to write statement of the null hypotheses?

Introduction to the Chapter  The introduction to Chapter 3 should be no more than half a page in length. This section should present the general purpose of the third chapter and describe for the reader the general layout of the sections that follow.  Chapter 3 will present the methods and procedures of the study. For the purpose of the presentation, the chapter has been divided into five sections, namely, description of the null hypotheses, description of the subjects, description of the research instrumentation, description of the procedures, and treatment of the data.  Statement of the Null-Hypotheses  This section of the chapter should contain a list of all of the null-hypotheses, which are to be tested in the study. You should not present an alternative, directional, hypotheses in this section of the chapter since they are incapable of being tested statistically.  A null hypothesis is a statement of this type:  “There will be no sign...
