1.2 Background of the study[Dr.Chi3]
This section describes the history and
background information of research problem. This section includes a review of
the area being researched, current information surrounding the issue, previous
studies on the issue, and relevant history on the issue.

1.2.1.1 Origin
1.2.1.2 Development
1.2.1.3 Growth
1.2.2 Current information surrounding the issue
1.2.3 Previous studies on the issue
1.2.4 Relevant history on the issue
1.3 Problem Statement[Dr.Chi4]
A problem statement is a brief overview of
the issues or problems existing in the concerned area selected for the
research. It is an explanation of the issues prevalent in a particular sector
which drives the researcher to take interest in that sector for in-depth study
and analysis, so as to understand and solve them (Saunders et al. 2009).
1.3.1 Background of the Problem:
Here you can reflect on facts related to
the problem to make the reader understand about the gravity of the problem.
1.3.1.1 Understand about the gravity of the problem
1.3.1.2 Put the problem in context (what do we already know?)
1.3.2 Anchor:
How one needs to resolve this problem in
the research paper.
1.3.2.1 Describe the precise issue that the research will address (what do we need to know?)
1.3.2.2 Statistical value to magnify and elucidates the problem.
1.3.3 General problem:
How are impacts a larger population.
1.3.3.1 Show the relevance of the problem (why do we need to know it?)
1.3.4 Specific problem
How it impacts your sample population
1.3.4.1 Set the objectives of the research (what will you do to find out?)
1.4 Research Questions[Dr.Chi5]
Research question is the central question
of the study that has to be answered on the basis of research findings.
1.5 Research Aim and Objectives[Dr.Chi6]
Research objectives describe what we expect
to achieve by a research project. Achievement of research aim provides answer
to the research question. Research
objectives divide research aim into several parts and address each part
separately. Moreover, research aim specifies WHAT needs to be studied and
research objectives comprise a number of steps that address HOW research aim
will be achieved. The Research aim is
Evaluating the impact of
____________________________________ or
Assessing the level of
__________________________________________ or
Analysing the effects of
_____________________________________________
1.5.1 Research Objective 1:
Ø
Explore the underlying factors
of _____________________ or
