Purpose statement (new research idea)


I'm excited to say I think I have my dissertation topic down pat!


So here's some purpose statement examples (one with the open ended concept mentioned by Dr. Reeves and one from my dissertation chair as discussed last summer)


1. Does online training in positive AAC outcomes using video modeling produce significantly better learning outcomes in parents and families as compared to online training without video modeling?


2. The purpose of this study is to compare AAC learning outcomes as a result of online training in parents using internet video modeling versus parents not using internet video modeling. 


My questions:

1. How do comfort levels in using AAC in the home for parents receiving online training with video modeling with teaching this children differ from parents receiving online training without video modeling? 


2. How do children’s ability to use AAC in the home setting for parents receiving online training with video modeling differ from parents receiving online training without video modeling?


3. How frequently do families who receive online training with video modeling seek the guidance from the video modelings?


4. What is the relationship between the frequency of using video modeling and the amount of interaction with their children using AAC?

THANK YOU!

  1. Great job Actively Achieving Communication!! I might recommend changing the purpose to

    The purpose of this study is to determine how parent training using internet video modeling affects AAC learning outcomes for parents and children.

    or something like this...

    For your research questions, remove "with teaching this children" from RQ1 (it is confusing).

    1. Thank you! Saying the purpose statement in that fashion - does it imply there is a treatment group A and B?
