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?
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!

Great job Actively Achieving Communication!! I might recommend changing the purpose to
ReplyDeleteThe 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).
Thank you! Saying the purpose statement in that fashion - does it imply there is a treatment group A and B?
DeleteThis is a cool topic Kristy are you going to interview people for your info? Any thoughts on that yet?
