Aligning the Problem, Purpose and Research Question

In any research endeavor, the alignment of the problem, purpose, and research questions is fundamental to the success of the study. The problem statement identifies the issue that needs to be addressed, the purpose outlines the goals of the research, and the research questions guide the investigation. This webinar will explore each of these components, illustrating how they interconnect and support one another. During the webinar, the concept of research alignment will be examined through various types of visualizations including Locks, Funnels, Knots, Pyramids, Arcs, Triads, Formulations, Nesting, Interlocking Links, Pillars, and Spectrums. 

📅 Wednesday, November 20^th from 12:00 – 1:00 PM Eastern (New York Time)

📍 Location: Online via Zoom.
